Missouri Election.

The Missouri radicals and "red legs
have been beaten-horse, foot, and era
goons--in the recent election IN that state.
The Schofe' d-Gamb'e conservative fsc,ion
have prevailed bv about 13 0AO ma iori,v,

ministrs,ion men have voted. or were al
lowed to vote in that state: but the con-
serva'ive wing of the governing party have
got the beat Of he jscobiu wing, and for
that we are duly thankful. The Missouri
type Of radicali.m WAS the most dangerous
developed by this unhappy civil and mill
tarv struggle, AMI all good citizens will re-

Eat Less Meat.

The great scarcity of meats of all kinds
in this Confederacy renders il absolutely
necessary that all classes should be ex-
ceedingly economical in its use, in order
TO furnish the Southern armies with
proper rations. In the old countries.
where the people possess iron constitu.
tions and enjoy fine health, comparatiyelv
little meats used. We must follow their
example during this war. Every house
keeper should raise as many hogs and
beeves as possible, and every farmer
ought 10 devote a fair proportion of hio
best lands 10 the cultivation of the
Chinese sugar cane, from which TO make
abundant supplies of molassos. BY
doing this, and by cultivAting and drying
fruits Of all sorts, We shall have AN
abundance Of good, n0urishing food for
private families and exempts and a fair
proportion OF meats for the army The
South has its all in this war. II must
conquer an honorable peace, or lose all
that is worth living for. If il desires
freedom, it's people must be willing 10
bear sacrifices, privations and want.
without these We can not succeed, and
the sooner every man and woman in the
lana make up their mind to bear all and
snher All, rather than become Northern
slaves, the sooner we will attain TO the
great en- for which we are aiming. Meat
rs scarce very scarce, and we are com
PEELED TO do with very little of H. even
now. The stock on hand can last but a
short time and our readers should mako
up their minds 10 do without il altogether
until this horrid war is over.
