= Our dispatches last evening indicate that it is
the impression in the Quarter Master Generals
Department At Washington that the army will

tents (which are capable Of being heated) are to
be provided, but cheaper and simpler tent in.
stead.
Evidences lead to the belief that this supposi.
tion is well founded. It is undoubtedly the de.
sire Of the Administration to press forward the
work with vigor. One year ago when such
strong protests went up from al parts Of the
country, against the erection Of winter quarters
for the army, Nr. Chase addressed the moneyed
men Of New York City ct the American Ex.
change and announced it as the policy Of the
Government to maintain winter campaign.-
Early in the year began those series Of brilliant
successes that Frightened the national horizon
everywhere except along the Potomac.
The prospects now, are frightening, and
ought to encourage even the most respondent.
Galveston, as We learn from rebel sources,
has just fallen into our hands. Butler still
holds his own. Iuks, Corinth, and Hatchie
have unsnarled matters to some extent in the
Department Of the Tennessee. Gen. Scho6eld
has nipped in the bud gathering Of rebel
hordes in northwestern Arkansas, for the inva.
sion Of Missouri. In southwestern Missouri
and western Kentucky guerrilla bands have been
broken up and dispersed-and-not least-Bu-
ell has been removed from his command in
Kentucky and Tennessee. and live end tried
man takes his place. The great army of the
Potomac is now in Emotion, having entirely
crossed the AL quiet" stream and Is now tread
ing the sacred soil in:close proximity to the re.
firing rebels, with prospect Of bringing them
to battle at Gordensvlle, If not In the neighbor-
hood Of Winchester. Gen. Mitchell, but lately
arrived at his new department. has already
evinced disposition to stir up matters in the
Port Royal region-and according to latest &C.
counts has struck an important blow on the
line of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad.
Our blockading force off Charleston has been
increased, and the Navy Department generally
manifests renewed activity. Gen. Banks is
IN New York organizing an important expedition
for some point on the southern coast, the Mon

eleven inch gun and one Of Rodmans huge ff
teen inch guns carrying projeetile of $50 h =
The Ironaides is at Newport News watching for
the debut Of the "Aerrimac No. q" Several
other iron clads are approac bn completion to
be used this Fall and Winter in capturing south
ern cities, including Richmond.
On sea and shore there are many signs of
heavy blows about to be struck that win stagger
the rebels and greatly change the aspect Of Of.
fairs Our hopes are we'll founded. The cry Of
the Waterman "All's-well" viii soon greet us.
NolE ADvIcE.-We caution our readers who
are farmers, to save every thing they raise. Be
very careful that nothing is wasted or destroyed,
for every thing will be needed for consumption
before another crop 10 produced. We caution
those who are consumers to practice economy
to save every thing. Let nothing be wasted.
Every pound of -four, every bushel Of potatoes,
every pound of meat, al the corn, in short every
thing that goes to support human and animal
life, now in the country, will be needed, and will
enhance in price. Prices are going up and will
continue to 60 up. Farmers who sell Of short
now, at present prices, unless compelled to do
10, will miss It sadly. By means they should
keep their crops rather than sell to buy goods
that they can do without. Non-producers should
lay in al they need, even for years sup
ply, il possible, while prices are low. We give
THE earnest word Of caution to every body be-
cause We prefer to see the products Of our State
rise in price while yet in the hands Of producers
and not after our surplus has been sold Of to
spectators and shipped out Of our State, and
because We desire to secure our people from, If
not absolute want and suffering, something akin
70 it-because We desire that every thing shall
BE- saved and shall net the largest possible sum
to the producer and bring the largest possible
amount Of money into Iowa. Again 70 cay to
farmers: save all your corn, Qets, potatoes, tur-
nips, wheat-every thing t1t can b used for
~ The Cincinnati Enquirer says that con-
esssion 10 the only mode Of securing peace. The
Nahony press Of Iowa are Of the same opinion.
The Chicago, Times says "compromise." The
New York Herald 10 Of the opinion that the
South has been grievously wronged. John Van
Buren, would bid the 'erring sisters depart in
peace" Fernando Wood talks Of compelling
the President to remove his Cabinet and to adopt
such measures - he and men Of his kidney may
chose to dictate. All the lesser stars who re-
volve around thsee political suns of the Tory
skies, reflect the same sentiments.
What does it all mean? Is any portion of oul
people willing to consent to destruction of the
Union! We think not. Is any considerable
portion Of the North disposed to make the slave
system universal? We don't believe this either
