THE WAR EXCITEMENT.
The War Spirit More Ssiswss Progress
Of Events.

Secessionists adds fuel 10 the patriotic fires
which burn in Northern breasts. The
Northern people, have become fully alive to
the impending crisis, and are preparing to
checkmate the movements of Davis, at every
point. In two weeks from the fall Of Fort
Sumter the North will be better prepared,
in all that is necessary to carry on a long
contest, than the Confederstes, who have
been srming, secretly and openly, for two
years. The self.sustaining capacity Of the
North, and its superior facilities for tSavel-
ing, will amply compensate for It's original
tsrdiness in preparing for the fight.

shipped at Pafkersburg, Va, on the Moses

The Louisville Courier calls this an inya-
sion Of Kentucky, as that State claims iuris-
dicti0n to low-water mark, on the north side

member that the water is high now, and the
seizures were made entirely within the
limits of Ohio.
