A Word to Farmers.


There are now in this country at least
million of men Withdrawn from ordinary kinds
Of labor, engaged in the war. Their work is
not of production but of devastation, for this
is the legitimate resultofvar But the army
must be fed. Its commissariat must DO sup
piled from the agricultural States Of the
North. The rebels do not wait for our armies
to destroy their products, but do it them
selves. So the agriculturists of the North
will not only be called upon to feed our own
armies, but in very few months to supply
the South also.
In view of the present condition of affairs,
therefore, our "word" to farmers is-PLANT.
Let them sow and plant, and trust in the
favor Of Heaven for the abundance of the har.
vest. The season has been unpropitious thus
far. but matters now have brighter look
Of this there is but little doubt-there will be
. demand for the productions of all the seed
that can be placed in the earth's bosom. BY
this means alone we must feed our armies and
pay our debts. We maintain our relations
with foreign governments only as we are able
to contribute to the support and sustenance
Of the world. Plant, then, farmers. Plant
hat peace may be welcomed amid plenty
Plant, that we may be able to prove to all
mankind that we have the resources within
ourselves to wage war, maintain our armies
and still preserve our prosperity and great
ness.

IMPORTANT AcH1EvExENTs.-Two impor
tant events in the progress ofou arms against
rebellion are announced-the occupation OIL
Frederick sburg, Va, by Gen. Mcdowell, and
the capture of Appalachicols, Florida, by
Federal gunboats.
The achievement Of Gen. Mcdowell is Of
great Importance, Fredericksburg being on
the south bank of the Rappahannock, and by
railroad fifteen miles south of Acquia Creek.
on the Potomac, and only about sixty miles
north of Richmond. The possession of the
Rappahannock at this point and Of the rail-
road to Richmond, is Of incalculablc impor-
lance to US in the present state of the cam.
paign in Virginia.
The occupation of Appalachicola. on the
Gulfcoa places at our command an inpor-
tant cotton port and also river that is nav
liable into the heart of Georgia

How much the patriotic sons Of the South
love the Confederate cause can be seen in the
recent act of the Arkansas Legislature, in
levying tax of thirty dollars per bale on
cotton, so as to make it too expensive an ar
ticle to be raised, thus driving the planters to
the cultivation of corn and wheat All along
we have been told by Southern politicians
that the chivalrous sons of the sunny cline
would lose their cotton and sugar and turn
their attention to the production Of grain,
that the rebel army may be supported; but
we find the planters, like other people, love
the thing that will produce the most money.
This cotton tax, however, is not the only
straw that exhibits the direction Of the wind.
While the Federal government is winding up
enlistments, the Confederate government is
resorting to system of wholesale CONSUMPTION
more exten sive in its dimensions than any
that the world has ever witnessed. The
fact of the matter is, the people of the South
are waking up to the conviction that they
have been terribly swindled by their po.iti-
clans who seduced them into . revolution, as
uncalled for and inexcusable as that which
doomed Satan and the fallen angels to ever
lasting punishment.
All appearances indicate the speedy sup
preston of this unholy rebellion, and it will
not be many months before peace and har-
mony will again reign supreme in our be-
loved conntrv

wIf the battles Of the American war
hitherto have excited little attention abroad,
the contest between the Merrimac and Monl-
tor will form an exception. Every English
paper received by the late arrivals devotes =
column or more of description and CONNIE mt
to that extraordinary engagement. Even
the skeptical London Times admits that it
has worked complete change in the aspects
Of naval warfare; and the other journals, fol.
lowing suit, discuss with unusual earnsstness
its bearing upon the future of the European
navies. It seems to be admitted that, az the
first suggestion that iron clad vessels came
from the United States, so the first example
their efficiency was given by the United States.
Hampton Roads are now regarded with as
much earnestness in Europe as they are in
America.

Mai. Gen. Grant.


We have watched the course of this officer
narrowly since he came into the arena Of this
war, and we arc compelled to say that our
observations are anything but favorable to his
skill and efficiency As = General. We regret
being compelled to condemn any officer Of
our loyal army, but the memory OF those so
needlessly butchered 1t Belmont and Pitts
burg demand the immediate removal Of Ulys-
ses s. Grant from any position Of trust or
responsibility in our forces.
The battle of Belmont was ono Of the most
disgracsfully managed affairs Of the war.-
There was nothing to call for an attack on the
enemy at that time, and the taking Of 80
small force to attack 20 strong position
was the heighth of folly if not Of criminality.
The result, every one knows, our forces bare
ly managed to escape, and came of With =
terrible loss.
The battle at Pittsburg furnishes US with
ono Of the most complete and disgraceiul sur
prises that has ever been recorded on the
pages Of history. There was not = Lieutenant
in the army but would, under the circum'
stances, have maintained strict guard while
In such close proximity to 20 willy an enemy.
Yet, M.jor-Gsneral, in our army, allowed
himself to be completely cut to pieces, when
all might have been saved BY tho use Of even
the ordinary precautions Of war.
Gen. Grants report Of the late battle II
one of the lamest affairs We have yet seen
and gives evidence of having been written by
q man whose conscience is sorely troubled
about something. 1t is nothing moro or less
than an apology for our losses, and looks as
if it were intended to cover up facts rather
than to demonstrate them.
We have no doubt but what Gen. Grants
career will be closely examined, and if he is
as grossly incompetent as he now appears to
be. he will doubtless be removed.
