The Military Art,Or OF tho Populace-
The Effect Ofthe News from Bulls Run.
II was thought that the OF late reverse at
Bulls would have had bad effect upon the minds Of
the people, and have strengthened the very little feeling
that is yet known to exist in the Northern States in
favor Of the rebeon but facts prove quite the contrary,
for instead of the martial spirit Of the peo-
pic being in the least diminished II has in
creased to such extent that it far surpasses
the feeling that animated citizens when the FIRST cali
was made for troops.
We have had in mids; number Of half filed regi-
ments, who have been eagerly seeking acceptance at
the hands OF the government but who, from
not having suf1cie Mt influence means to support
entire regiment until such times they
needed, had to let the dsband. Many Of
these CALAMITY rushing forward reorganze and
tender their services the for the purpose
G assisting to crush out rebellion from their be owed
country. The recruiting Offices filled with applicants,
and one would suppose that it was glorious victory
that thus stimulated the men to voluntarily offer them
selves, instead Of a defeat but the idea has now
so strongly entered the public mind that Thc Onion
must and shall be preserved" that Is but necessary
for the authorities to say they men, end they will
be supplied with than they and equip for
the present Our reports each day Of the military move
mcnts in this city will clearly prove what have
stated-that the people are anxious to end this conflict
10y giving to army an overwhelming numerical
strength.
The excitement caused by the late news seems to be
greatly the increase and the newspaper bulletins
eagerly watched for any little CLEAN OF later intelligence
that may have been received, while the papers them
selves snached up by the people the instant they
make their appearance Some one has friend rela-
tive at the war, and with a mingled feeling
of fear and hope he opens the still damp
sheet to try and learn his fate, and
careful person tell by his step ms he walks away
whether the has verified his hopes realized his
worst fears. Upon almost every side there is much
killed wounded at first supposed and the feeling
away the temporary stain upon banner received a.
Bulls's This feeling appears be strong among
foreign population with native born citizens The
ishmcn unceasing their denunciaon Of the treat
of their comrades by the rebels and the Aremen Of
this city fast filing up the Second regiment, and will
leave TO revenge the deaths Of their old
panions In many places through the city largn
posters have been placed calling upon the people to
themselves aud sustain the integrity OF tho
Union; but these unnecessary, the
spirit has taken deeper hold than ever upon the minds
o the popucc and instead Of using artificial Of
urging them II will be found difficult check their
aor This is not alone the feeling of the city, but it has
sprtad Ike lightning through every Of the loyal
rscs. II will be by the subjoned reports that
r,any Of the regiments in New York and vicinity
under marching orders and the second grand exodus or
troops lron New York has Just commenced.
