"WESTWARDl HO 20

The "Natonal Intelligencer" of Thursday las
presents the following paragraph from the St Loui'
New Era" under its Washington head IL stands
there SOLITARY and alone in its glory" Il i,
indeed glorious spectscle--that Of a free people
not sent by DRAFT, not eribbed by a system o.
conscripdon, not moving in the character of stand
ing, regular army, but rushing with al the enthu.
slssm Of volunteers to chastse the invaders OF their
soil and defend the rights of their country;
"Recent events prove that half million of yolun.
teers could be speedily obtained il a real necessity
for their call should exist. Men OF all parties and
Of every locality have shown great slscry to enter
the service, regardless Of their opinions as to the
cause or origin Of the war"
Not a syllable Of "word or comment on the
above from our neighbors Of the "National Intell.
gencer :" Not a Sc ltiment of enthusiasm, OF pride
Of congratuation, at the spectacle it exhibits. 1t
seems TO be lost in amazement-absolutely dumb
founded. SO complete is the absorption, that there
does not seem TO be any room for Joy or pride, or
pstriodsm-in fact, for not the slightest play of
passions. But the "New Era" is right. If neces,
sary, halfa million could be raised with about the
same SO, 000-al volunteers There is scarce
Iva State where the ardor of the people can be
grati6ed, because they not called into service
In many Of the States they beg to be employee d
The government is forced to reply: 1--WE have
enough-we do not need your services" In other
States they crowd around the State authorizes; but
they cannot be employed, and they are compelled
to return to their homes. For example, here is an
extract from the jefferson (Missouri) Inquirer
Of the Sd InstanG
"RETURN OF THE yoLUNTEERs.-The volunteers
from the Missouri river counties-Frankin, Gascon-
ade, Usage, Cole, Monteau, Cooper, and Saline
have returned. They reached St. Louis; and al
though they anxously desired to push on to the
seat of war, they were not (as they had hoped)
mustered into the service of the United States. We
understand that two companies from Howard and
from Charlton started for 81. Lons, but, on re-
ceying orders TO that effect, returned home.
at is to be regretted that the brave men who so
promptly left their homes were disappointed, and
that they were not sent to the seat Of war. But
they have given proof Of their chivaric spirit and
the patriotic impulse which animated them to push
on to the fray, reflects the highest honor on the
martial character of Missouri, and shows that her
sons like the soldiers Of the revolution, are min
ute men,"
We glory in this spectacle. Such spirit is wor-
thy ofthe cause and worthy ola free people. 1t is
perhaps one Of the most remarkable, striking, and
agreeable incidents Of the age. 1t gives US conf
dence in ourselves, and in institutions. 1t does
more. 1t will inspire national respect in all the
nations of the earth for the strength Of our govern
ment, and the spirit Of our people. The exhibition
is more precious to free people than millions of
money.

inclemency Of the weather, an immense concourse
of our citizens collected on the wharves to give
them parting cheer.

MILITARY PROCEEDINGS IN Omo.--Since our last
an official announcement from the Adjutant Gene
rails Office informs that the number of volunteer,
called for by the requisition las been completed
Last evening, to the astonshment of the governor
and authorities, company Of volunteers from Sen
eca county made their appearance in long train o
wagons, with drums beating and flag flying. They
came without any previous notification, it appears
and after the companies required to comply with
the requisition had already been accepted. Here
was dilemma--a painful one. The governor
however, promptly agreed to subsist the men until
a council could be held, and their considered
1t was announced in our last that several compa-
MES, composing one regiment of volunteers, would
be retained here day two for organization, &c
1t was ascerained, however, at late period, that
the Mansfield volunteers could not reach here until
two days after they had been expected, and that the
organization must therefore be delayed for some
time In this state of affairs, the governor conclu
ded to send on the men who were here and ready to
go forthwith, to Camp Washington, whey they
could effect their organization when all had arrived
Our companies left by canal on Tuesday evening.
The Athens company left yesterday. The Mans
field companies are expected here to-day, General
Mclaughlin having arrived Yesterday. A very
few days will suffice to collect the whole Ohio force
at Camp Washington.

ILLINOIS.

From the shawneetowD (Ill) Gazette, June L.
In another column will be found the general or
ders of Gov. Ford, calling upon the citizens Of IL
nois for three gimens of infantry and rifemen,
for the Mexican war. By the requistion we per-
ceive that mounted men are not called for as yet,
although we have no doubt that if the necessity
continues they will be received upon further de.
mand. We believe that the three regiments called
for is more than our full quota of the $4,000 au-
thorized by Congress. When this requsition
reached Equality on last Saturday, our citizens
were engaged in enrolling themselves into volun-
eer company for the purpose of rendering their ser
vices, and with the intention of holding themselves
in readiness to meet any call that might be made
upon them. The order was read instanter, and
nine hearty cheers declared the gratfcation which
was really heartfelt, at this immediate prospect of
service. full company was enrolled, and will be
organized on Saturday next Appropriate addresses
delivered to the citizens assembled, on FRIDAY
and Saturday last, by his honor Judge Scates, and
Messrs. Hayes, Stickney, and Barlow;
Hon. Jas Shields arrived at this place on lues-
day morning last, and addressed a meeting of our
citizens on the same day at Equality on the subject
Of our differences with Mexico. we had not the
Measure of listening his remarks, but have heard
them universally spoken Of most able and APP
posite. His audience we're highly pleased with the
manner. in which Judge s. handled the subject, and
with the general tone and tenor Of his address. He
saws that the troops called for from Illinois will be
mustered into service, and will shortly have an OPP
portunty Of proving ther faith and devotion to their
country. This will be cheering news to those
who have volunteered with the single purpose Of
shoudering a musket--and as to all others, the
quicker they leave our ranks the better for all. We
want no popularity or Office seekers, nor men whose
aim is to evincs their patriotism by stalking Bun
combe."
Judge Shields expressed the opinion in his speech
on Tuesday, that the volunteers from Illinois
he taLran IN m ttnhaaithu climate b,,t
in the United States. From this we may infer that
Santa Fe or California will be our destination.
Judge s. may be supposed to know something Of
the intentions Of government although, Of course,
not at liberty to express any opinion publicly upon
matters Of such importance as the movement Of a
body Of troops before they ar. aetualyir service.
