EnviratioD or Ibe PTis.issiDDi.

At meetiug of the Union Chamber of Com
merce, of st. Leuis, held on the 23d, the follow
ing preamble and resolution was adopted:
Whereas, The Mississippi river and its tTibu-
taries are the natural outlet to the ocean for the
agricultural States of the Mississippi valley, and
the cheapest and most expeditions route for the
transportation of the products Of the soil to the
markets of the Eastern States and all foreign
countriesi and whereas, the full navigation of
said river is impedad by the rebel armies, thereby
adding very largely to the cost Of AL the supplies
brought from the sesboard, aud lowering the
price of the products Of the soil, in consequence
of the largely increased cost of transportation
by railroads and canals to and from the Atlantic
cities and whereas, the loyal States Of the Mis-
sssippi valley have freely given Of their sons Of
their means, for the restoring Of the Union,
chee.fully bearing the burden Of the lessening
value Of their products, the increased cost Of all
supplies therefore,
Res9tved, That we earnestly recommend thai
petition be made "a. the President Of the Uoited
States, requesting Rim to cause the opening oi
the Mississippi river for the commerce Of the
northwest, to be the especial object Of cur west
ern army.
Lincoln viii be in no hurry to try the Vicks
j burg experiment again, and tie traders OF St
Louis viii have to be content with c1rtailec
commerce.
