sa Prepare for the Harvest.
II may not be improper once more to urge
upon our Whole community the necessity of
united, Is well as individual, efforts to grow q
full crop of al products Of the soil during the
. coming season. There are just as many to pro.
vide for as ever before; but the class Of produ.
csrs is diminished BY just that number which
has become . portion OF the Union army. To
al up the gap created by the absence of this
enormous mass Of producers from their accus-
toned field of labor, it is requisite that extraor-
binary exertions be made by those who remain.
: Before the end of this year, We have no doubt
that al kinds Of grain and provisions will be ir
demand aud much higher in price than at pre-
sent How great that demand will be, and how
high prices will run, will depend considerably
fupon the crops abroad. But without any for.
eign requisition for breadstuffs and provisions.
it ID hardly possible for the agricultural labor
Of the country to supply our wants at home,
4 good season, an abundant yield, perhaps
might enable us to accomplish this desirable
end with certainty. But these blessings are not
surely ours, and the very opposite may be our
lot. A bad season, and consequent light har.
vest, would be terrible disaster to our country
under existing and probable circumstances.
ea 1t lie the duty Of oil men to do what they can
to avoid all the troubles and sufferiugs which
would result from an insufficient harvest for the
approaching season. BY commencing in time,
by appropriating all the labor possible to that
end, with an ordinary crop. they will succeed.
If every plough be set to work as early as prac'
ticable. and every day and hour improved with
its appropriate work, during oil the season, our
harvest may be made as abundant as We could
desire. ..s@,Ie-l,t
pas We urge this course on ell our readers on
public grounds,-as matter Of general neces-
sity. The "BREAD QuEsrfoE" is always an inns
portant one. In war like that now waging in
our midst, it becomes . vital one. The waste
of all wars is enormous but in civil wars it is
still more enormous than in those of a different
character. We must look to the probable de-.
mands OF the future, and prepare, IS best we
can, to supply them. An army cannot move or
exist without food. Ours cannot have it unless
We ourselves produce it.
Aside from public reasons, private interests
will all be benefited by an abundant crop. 1t
is upon our products We must rely to pay what.
ever public or private debts are or may be due
in foreign countries. If We are unable to pay
in these, we must in gold, thereby diminishing
our supply, adding to its proportionate value,
and increasing iEordinately the prices of all
foreign articles which our necessities may re.
quire. Other reasons will suggest themselves to
our readers They all indicate . paramount
necessity for general effort to secure an sbun-
dsnt harvest. Let Us each do our part towards
that object.

the loss Of the Monitor, it appears that the

as she ne came down upon the sea, during very
severe storm, which came on soon after she left
Hampton Roads. From other statements, par
ticularly one made by San old sailor.n we infer
that there was an unusual and for such wealth
er as she encountered, an improper amount Of
coal and munitions on board. The same storm
compelled numerous other vessels, Of different
lconstruction, to seek shelter and safety in port

REACTION Liverpool Times, speaking
Of public sentiment in England, says it is
clear that q reaction has set in against the
South and in favor Of the North, as COM
pared with that entertained twelve months
since tg.sv
We do not attach much importance to Eng.
lish sentiment. 1t is to the action Of that and
other foreign countries We look. So long as its
monied men, its merchants, and its rulers
continue to give material aid to the Rebels, we
shall haze cause to complain that her regard
for free institutions and human rights are all q
mere preteuce. The mass Of the people are
doubtless opposed in opinion to the projects Of
the Southern Rebels, and to the slavery they
are endeavoring to fasten upon a continent
But the ruling class are only anxious to de-
stroy our Union. They no not seem to realize
that the overthrow of the Union would prob
ably prove the knell Of Eugland's greatness.

THE EIGHTH ILLINOIS CAVALRY.
Its Ranks Filled Up---Departure for
the Army Of the Potomac. :

This gallant regiment. which arrived here from
the eeat OF war In VfrEfnia on the 18th Of Janna-
y, on thirty days fnrlough, passed through here
yesterday from St. Charles, where it has been re-
cruiting, en- route for Washington. During tho
fufsough recruiting has gone on brfsk1y, and the
regimen, is now fall. which clearly shows that
there is no difficulty in filing up "crack" regt-
nent. The recruits are a fine looking, stalwart
body Of men. such as the practical eye OF militia
~ martinez desires to look upon, and no doubt
will keep up the reputation OF the Big Abolition
regiment. Some six hundred Of the boys, chiefly
recruits, dIned yesterday at the Soldiers Rest,
where the Indies had prepared n bounteous dinner,
md at O'Clock took the Michigan Southern traIu
for Washington.
In addition to this number. there are about 80
more recruits scattered throughout the country,
who will be collected at st. Charles, under com.
mand Of Maj. ]. H. Waite. and join the main body
in about two weeks. There are also about two
hundred Of tho veterans scattered in squads be-
tween here and Washington. They had individual
transportation at tho time they re-cnlIsted, and
are now en- route Tor the eceue Of their old opera-
t!one. Since the regiment passed through ChIca-
