Vic supply VI meaG IOr Jne army Is QenclenC,
and the erations are reduced one half, in some of
the armies there is plenty Of it in the Confed-
eracy, but that difficulty exists in It's trans
portation, which is now about to be remedied
in the course of the address hesays:-" If, through
confidence in an early peace, which may
prove delusive, our fields should now be devo-
ted to the production Of cotton and tobacco,
instead Of grain and live stock and other arti
cles necessary for the subsistence of the PEOPLE
and army, the consequences may prove serious,
if not disastrous, especially should this present
season prove as unfavorable as the last Your
country, therefore, appeals to you to lay aside
all thought of gain, and to devote yourselves to
securing your liberties, without which these
gains would be valueless. 1t is true that the
wheat harvest in the more Southern States
which will he gathered next month promises
an abundant yield; but even if this promise be
fulfilled the difficulties Of transportation, en-
hanced as it has been by an unusually rainy
winter will cause embarrassments In military
operations and suffering among the people,
should the crops III the middle and northern
portions Of the Confederacy prove deficient
But no uneasiness may be felt in regard to
mere supply of bread for men. 1t is for the
large amount of corn and forage required in
the raising of live stock, and the supplies of
| the animals used in military operations too
| bulky for distant transportation; and in them
| the deficiency of the last harvest was mostly
| felt Let your fields be devoted exclusively to
the production of corn, oats, beans, peas po
tatoes and other food for man and beast; let
corn be sowed broadcast for fodder in immedi
ate proximity to railroads, rivers and canals,
and let all your efforts be directed to the
prompt supply Of these articles in the districts
where our armies are operating.

Lord Lyons, writing on the position Of the po-

ssThe democratic party seeks to profit by the
difficulties OF its opponents, without commit
ting itself to any very definite policy. Thus it
attacks the arbitrary arrests and the other legal
measures of the Cabinet, and, above all, the
military administrations but it does not risk its
own popularity by declaring against the war,
or rronouncing the word separation There
is nothing at present to show whether or not
there is likely to b. in the meantime u conjunc-
