A matter of importance.

--A Valley correspondent writes under date of May 5th:

‘ Living on the Valley Turnpike, I have for the last two weeks, and even as late as yesterday, seen large droves of fat cattle and hogs on the way to Baltimore. Is this right? Is it not robbing ourselves of provisions, and is it not furnishing our enemies with the means of protracting the struggle? The United States Government, the Governors of Ohio and Indiana, will not allow any provisions to be brought into Virginia and the South; why does not the Governor of Virginia retaliate?
