Northern War Movements.
From the Charleston Mercury, Nav 81.

FROM 'hc thafIcstoh Mercury Nay 81.
Night and day, for the las, two months,
has the Northern Government been max
ing herculean Efforts in It's department OF
war. Preparation on the most gigantic
scale has gone On steadily and unfaeginc
under the intelligent and able superin-
tendcnce and direction OF General Scott.
IN immense body OF volunteers have been
thrown into camp. and are drilling eight
hours Il day under competent officers OF
West Point training. The arms at hand
have been distributed. and all who are TO
engage soon in battle have been thor
oughly equipped with the best weapons.
FACTORIES. for the Manufacture of cannon,
rifles, sabers, b1yonets and ammunition OF
every description, are in full operation at
the North during tie whole twenty four
hours Of each day.
Agents have long since been sent
abroad TO Europe to procure and forward
rs fast as possible, cargocS OF improved
arms, and already have they hegun to ar
rive. Great efforts have also been made e
Tor the health, comfort aud supplies ol
Northern troops. Euersv and prom2ii-
tude have characterized their movements
both in Maryland and 1t. Louis, and their
success along the border has, SO far. been
cOmDlete. They have, IN TIE West. Oh
tanned and secured the great repository Of
arms for that section, equipped our enc
mics OF 81. LOuis Illinois. Indiana and
ONO, leaving thc resistance men OF Mis-
sour p0uriy pro, idtd, kentucky unarmcG

q
eut on the Cotton states tor weapons OF
defense. Maryland has been cowed and
,rpowered, N Nashinetou rendered as Sc
cure a. may be. while Virginia Is invaded,
ana Richmond threatened with capture.
In all this the military proceedings of
the North. s.nce the fall of Sumter. have
been eminentlv wise. For the purpose Of
overpowcring, disheartening and gaining

and abroad. are OF immense importance,

in Il great measure. upon the number OF

not commit the mistake of undertaking
