Meat for the Armies.

II il is true, as q physiological fact that soldiers
can 6ght wi bout meat it is sssuredy true as a moral
fact We fear, that they will not fight without. it. The
panic this subject of supply is great, aud probably
contributes tnan anything else to the dependency
OF the people. Il it WarrAntedS
In large portions of the States of South Carolina and
Georgia, snd probably Of North Carolina, Alabama and
Mississippi, also considerable surplus of meat has
been killed and cured the present winter It i5 IN
usual thing TO hear of planters Who before the war,
we're accustomed to purchase onehaf Of their bacon
from Ohio, who have now produced double the amount
necessary for their dom site consumption 1t may safely
be estimated that with exceptions owing to pecu-
liar situations cholera and Aoods the planters of these
States have now in their smokehouses supplies Of meat
adequate for present necessities at least Can the
wants of the army from these supplies be met
Under the present regime they cannot. Under Il
preent inquistOrial processes Of mpessmet agents,
which have produced disgust dissatisfaction AID ndg-
nation or apathy everywhere, planters speak on this
subject with bated breath. They will not sell meat at
government prices when three four times that price
can essiy be obtained in open Market especially when
they are threatened with taxation which all their
sources may be required to meet They will not even
carry it to market when the product of their toll is la
bic to be seized by the first petty impressOg agent who
may espy it, And than all, they do not care to
exchange an intrinsic value for another which Is rapidly
deprecADg with adequate guarantee that such de-
probation will be checked before il becomes worthless.
Let the authorities cease relying on impressnent,
aud they will be able to purchase more meat than
at present Let them restore the currency and sup
plies will be drawn from old smokehouses to an extent
