The young men of the time hare for years had too little open air work to gifP them the fullest physical development.— Men do not grow to full strength in the shade of briok walls and close streets.— There is more or less of field work demanded in the course of all men's lives, and if two or three years are given to it, just as full manhood is attained the physical Constitution is strengthened more than by all other devices. Lives are saved by this manly exercise, and of all modes of developing physical strength, none is equal to the military service. The soldiers now growing bronzed and muscular from thin and slender forms, will constitute a body of men leading all others in mental and physical strength ten years hence. Men wul date their growth to a higher capacity for work of all kinds than they had thought themselves capable of attaining from tnia very time of danger and of military arrayto save the Union. As men become accustomed to camp life the trouble in regard to rations diminishes. In many coses, without doubt, great abuses have been practised in the commissariat of the new regiments, but a great deal of unreasonable complaint has also been made. Indignant letter-writers from the camp have in several cases particularized the pork issued as being so fat that nobody could eat it, ignorant of the fact that pork of no other sort would be fit to cat, and that a backwoodman relishes nothing so well as sandwiches of fat pork with solid bread. It is not to be cxpected that men in new ditties of so rough a sort will at once see everything in the right light, however. Time brontes them, strengthens their frames, and adds weight to the body as well as lightness of heart to young men in the field. They are the better tor six months of such service, on purely personal grounds, if only under competent officers and in proper discipline.Call the young men to the field in this sanitary purpose, then, and let us have good from the war which brings so much of evil.—North American.

H MERRILL, Agt, A letter io the Montgomery, Ala., Mail, dated Lurkinsville, in that State, says :— ".Business is suspended here, except what relates to the war. Most of the business houses in the town are closed." This is a common story at the south, and we have especially seen it mentioned as true of Charleston, 8. C. A copy of the New Orleans Price Current gives proof of the utter stagnation of business there. On the 2d inst. there were but twenty-eight vessels in port, of which twelve were ships, four barques, two brigs, and ten schooners, and of these ten ships, one barque* and one schooner were under seizure. There were only 980-1 bales of cotton in port. None of the new cotton had come to hand, nor would it, as the factors in New Orleans had rccoiunicnded the planters not to send it there lest it should fall into the hands of the loyal troops and vessels. This was done pursuant to action taken by the JJoard of Underwriters of New Orleans, who deemed it highly imprudent to have large quantities of cotton stored in presses and warehouses «t the shipping ports, so long as war exists. They determined, therefore, to prevent such accumulations, and that not a bale of cotton shall be shipped from the southern ports until the blockade be raised and the imports and exports allowed to pass without hindrance from any quarter. The New Orleans Price Current says that "the sending of foreign vessels to the southern ports in ballast to load with cotton will not be tolerated at all." The factors, therefore, recommend the planters to retain their cotton on their plantations till the blockadc be opened, of the measure proposed upon the currency and credit of the confederate government." The Richmond Enquirer also discusses the cotton loan as follows : "The plan already begun with So much success evinces the purposo of the people to sustain the government to the uttermost. Yet the plan is not free from objection, and will not furnish sufficient money on credit. The most obvious objections arise from the nature of the subscriptions. The planter subscribes the proceeds of a part of his cropland binds himself that such part shall be sold by a fixed time. Now, if sales are forced in consequence of these contracts of subscriptions, the result must be the same as if forccd to pay direct taxes. If a considerable part of the cotton crop were subscribed in this way, the speculators, seeing when lar},e sales were to bo made, would hold back until the fixed periods, and the supply fur exceeding the demand, would purchase at prices almost nominal. The government would have no control of the cotton, and the planters who had subscribed a portion of their crops would have to submit to the sa?rifice, or violate their understanding with the government. The amount to be received by the government would be uncertain—indefinite—no ccrtain calculations could be made. Speculators would be benefitted, the object of the government not accomplished, and tho planters, if they kecjj) their contracts, suffer loss. Those who bought cotton ;md tobacco during the last war with Great Britain sold, at the eud of it, for three or four times the cost." This is no doubt the trouble at the south, for as the region is purely agricultural, its staples must find sale or the people be absolutely impoverished. A gentleman direct from Tennessee illustrates to the Cincinnati Gazette the working of this state of things thus: "lie represents a most deplorable state of affairs in Memphis aud Nashville—a want of employment among all elapses but the military, and a want of food among a great many. Merchants aud business men are becoming heartily tired of the war, and do not hesitate to say to the military chieftans that they must whip the north very soon or else give up the idea. Planters, too, are less enthusiastic in the Davis cause, and grumbles both loud and deep are uttered at the slowness with which it progresses. The removal of the blockade will be demanded of the southern government before long, so our informant says." Thus we see that the blockade is the grand cause of embarrassment to the south. Were thut removed the crops could bo shipped to Europe and sold, foreign goods imported, and thus the vital currents of trade maintained and the war become endless.— But with the ports closed the crops are unsaleable, and the supplies of foreign goods cannot be obtained.. The purchase of the crops by the government can only bp a temporary expedient and unless the bonds given to the planters for them could be sold in Europe they would be wqrthless and i the country be hopelessly ruined. The fallowing additional account of the battle at Springfield is furnished by an eyewitness, who left Springfield on Sunday morning, and came through to this point on horseback : Our army marchcd out of Springfield on Friday evening, only 5,500 strong, the Home Gua'd remaining in Springfield.— Our force slept on the prairie a portion of the night, and about sunrise on Saturday moruing drove in the outposts of the enemy, and soon after the attack became general. The attack was made in two columns by Gens. Lyon and Sturges; Gen. Sigel leading a flanking force of about 1,000 men. and tour guns, on the south of the enemy's camp. The fight raged from sunriso until 1 or 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The Rebels in overwhelming force charged Captain Totten's Battery three distinct times, but were repulsed with great slaughter. General Lyon fell early in the day. lie had been previously wounded in the leg. and had a horse shot from under him. The Colonel of one of the Kansas Regiments having "become disabled, the boys cried out, "General, you oome and lead us on." He did so, aud at once putting himself in front, and while cheering the men on the charge, received a bullet in the left breast, and fell from his horse. He was asked if he was hurt, and replied, "No, not much." But in a lew minutes he expired, without a struggle. Gen. Sigel had a very severe struggle, and lost three of his four guns. His artillery horses were shot in their harness, and the pieces disabled. He endeavored to haul them off with a number of prisoners he had taken, but was finally compelled to abandon them, first, however, spiking the guns and disabling the carriages. About one o'clock the enemy seemed to be in great disorder and retreating, and setting lire to their train of baggage-wagons. Our forces were too much fatigued and out up to pursue, so the battle may be considered a drawn one. Geo. Price was not killed. There wePc rumors on the field that Ben MoCullooh was killed, but the rebels denied it. On Saturday night Dr. Meucher and others of our army went back with ambulances to the battle field from Springfield to see about the killed and wounded. They found the enemy on the field, and were considerately treated. Gen. Lyon's body had been treated with great respect, and was brought back with some of the wounded to Springfield.Major Sturgis took command on the battle field after the death of Gen. Lyon.— Gen. Sigel took command after the battle. Our loss is variously estimated at froui 150 to 300 killed and several hundred wounded. The enemy's loss is placed at 2,000 killed and wounded. Our boys captured about 400 horses of the enemy. The enemy carried two flags, the Confederate and the Stars and Stripes. Gen. Sigel marched back to Springfield in good order. After perfecting his arrangements, gathering the baggage, blowing up what powder he oould not carry, and destroying other property whioh he did not wish should fall into tho hands of the enemy, he left Springfield on Sunday night and encamped 30 miles this side of that place, the enemy not pursuing him. The orny hostility observed during the day was the firing of muskets from a distance at the rear guard. Gen. Sigel is confident he could have held Springfield against the force he had engaged, but ho was fearful of reinforcements to the enemy from the South-West, and that his line of communication to Rolla Hamilton in 1787-8, when the assent of this State to the Constitution was very doubtful, wrote to ask Madison if she might not stipulate for a right to withdraw from the Union ? Madison peremptorily  ed the idea. The Union, he justly responded, was to be a perpetual Union, and no right of withdrawal, or secession could be recognized.

This seems to settle the question that the :otton ciop will remain at home, and that jreat Britain, as well as the free States, nust do without it. The project of sending tho cotton overland through Mexico, for shipment at the Mexican ports, is desmed impracticable, owing to the vast difficulty of transportation. Moreover, if the cotton should reach England, it will ho bought and brought to tho north to supply our factories, which the southerners are determined to prevent, it possible. There is some chance of the cotton finding its way north through Kentucky,which is neutral ground. Evidently the rebel government fears this, for, in order to prevent it, the project has been started of the government taking the monopoly of the whole ootton and tobacco crops A letter from Richmond, of August first, to the Savannah Republican,says: "The secret sessions of Congress have been occupied for Borao days iu the discussion of a financial scheme, intended to be permanent during the war.

Produce Commission Merchants, ATD IftlVHTI DEALERS IB TEAS, This subject is discussed by the Memphis Bulletin unfavorably. That paper says : "It puts a debt on the shoulders of the new government of some $225,000,000.— If the government can sell the crop all may go well, but if the blockade be not raised this season the government has incurred an immense debt, without any equivalent or any means to pay it. To hold the cotton and tobacco over to another season it is worth little or nothing, for by that time another orop comes into market and oreates such an over supply that neither the old crop nor the new one will bring any prices. The incoming cotton crop of this year may be set down at 4,000,000 bales, of next year 4,000,000. Eight millions of bales on the market the same season will run the price down to nothing. The double crop will be worth little or no more than a single one. No. 115 WARREN STREET, (Third door below Washington Strut,) William H. Wilson, ■. Daniel V.Barnes, ! NEW YORK. Ablier C.
