AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.
The Royal Mail steamship America, which
touched at Queenstown yesterday, has arrived.
Accounts from nearly all the Northern and Wes-
tern States announce active military preparations,
and the volunteering or draughting of troops for
the Southern campaign. How far these reports are
reliable remains to be seen. In Utica, Buffalo,
Troy, Pennsylvania, Ohio, the Union feeling was
enthusiastic. Adjutant-General Carrington, of
Ohio, had issued orders for carrying into effect the
military laws just enacted by the General Assembly
of Ohio, and providing for 6,000 regular militia,
besides the militia of reserve of not less than
35,000 men, to be subject to immediate transfer
into the regular force. The regular militia had
been organised into twenty-five regiments, which,
when upon a war basis, would make 25,000 men.
The same feeling was exhibited in Indianopolis,
Illinois, Michigan, Massachusetts (at Boston 20,000
volunteers had offered their services), Rhode Island,
New Hampshire, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Detroit
(the banks of which place had come forward with
liberal offers of money), New Hampshire, Vermont,
New York, and Maine. The following is the form
of the call on the respective State Governors for
troops, issued through the War Department
Sir,—Under the Act of Congress for calling out the
militia to execute the laws of the Union to suppress insur-
rection, repel invasion, &c., approved February 28, 1795, I
have the honour to request your Excellency to cause to be
immediately detailed from the militia of your State the
quota designated in the table below, to serve as infantry or
riflemen for a period of three months, unless sooner dis-
charged. Your Excellency will please communicate to me
the time at about which your quota will be expected at its
rendezvous, as it will be met as soon as practicable by an
officer or officers to muster it into the service and pay of
the United States. At the same time the oath of fidelity
to the United States will be administered to every officer
and man. The mustering officers will be instructed to re-
ceive no man under the rank of commissioned officer who is
in years apparently over 45 or under 18, or who is not in
physical strength and vigour. The quota for each State is
as follows :—Maine, 1; New Hampshire, 1; Vermont, 1;
Massachusetts, 2 ; Rhode Island, 1; Connecticut, 1; New
York, 17 ; New Jersey, 4 ; Pennsylvania, 16 ; Delaware, 1;
Tennessee, 2; Maryland, 4; Virginia, 3; North Carolina,
2; Kentucky, 4 ; Arkansas, 1; Missouri, 4; Ohio, 13;
Indiana, 6 ; Illinois, 6 ; Michigan, 1; lowa, 1; Minnesota,
1; Wisconsin, 1. It is ordered that each regiment shall
consist on an aggregate of officers and men of 780. The
total thus to be called out is 73,391. The remainder to
constitute the 75,000 men under the Pre'sident's proolama-
tion will be composed of troops in the district of Columbia."
The Hoe. John Covode had offered Governor Cur-
tin 50,000 dols. of the loan authorised by Pennsyl-
vania to arm and equip the troops ordered froni that
State. A delegation of Pittsburgh merchants had
made a similar tender. The force at Washington
was being strengthened. At Philadelphia symptoms
of rioting had taken place. A large mob collected
in the street, which at one time numbered about
10,000. The office of the Palmetto Flag, a paper
recently started for advertising purposes, was visited,
and the demonstrations against it were of so decided
a character as to call for the interference of the
po ice. The proprietors were obliged to display the
American flag, and Mayor Henry made a speech
deprecating violence, but giving assurances that no
traitors should be tolerated in Philadelphia. The
snob subsequently visited the house of Gen. Patter-
'on, who was suspected of Southern sympathies,
Ind were with difficulty prevented from making an
Lttack upon it. The house of Gen. Cadwallader
MIS also visited, but the general mollified the crowd
