PUSH FoRwARD.-There- are two
great reasons, says the Memphis Ap-
peal, why our armies should drive the
invaders from Tennessee, Kentucky
and Missouri, and these should operate
to induce every exertion to do so at the
earliest moment. One is-and it is,
perhaps, secondary under the circum-
stances-that our forces can and will
be reinforced by one hundred thousand
stout hearts from the States named,
lust as soon as they at liberty to act
They are with us in sentiment, and only
need to become free agents to join our
battle standard. But the paramount
reason is the supplies that could be SO
easily obtained were those great pro-
ducingStatesi in our possession. They
are the provision States Of the Confed-
eracy, and from them our entire armies
can be subsisted. We need them, and
to reap the full benefit Of their, ,aedsmp-
tion we should hayethearsoon. - '--
