The Popular Upheavings Of the Great West.


The people of the Eastern States are evident
+ ~ yet but partially apprised of the mighty
Uprising Of the brave, hardy and patriotic men
of the great West, which has been going on
there since the receipt of the Presidents proc
lanation, On the fall Of Fort Sumter. As the
call embraced in that proclamation for rs 600
troops to retake tho Forts and defend tue Ma
tional Capital, spread on tho wings of the
wind over the plains, valleys, and blufy up
lands OF that magnificent region, the aroused
masses Of the five great popuous States east of
the Mississippi-O Indiana, Michigan, Hi
nois and Wisconsin-roso up almost as
to respond to the startling Summons. A chord
had been struck on the public heart which
/ went vibrating from the Mississippi TO the AL
leghanies and the lakes. The whole Country
/ was in connection. fien, as if under the rod
Of some f4bled enobantress, seemed everywhere
E,to be springing out Of the ground. In every
City and village the noise Of mastering forces,
the animated hurras of the sympathzing peo-
pie, and the busy din Of military pre- operations
were heard resounding on the sir. And from
lSfcIs huIIOdo ScpOpt puplic COAaiS4 anu AtLHI-
bet, the sounds of the recruiting drum went
Trolling over the broad praries, calling willing
men to arms to defend. their Country and its
cherished institutions against the hordcd fsrra
gos Of traitors who were 50 audaoous!y nlen-
being them. Such a stupcndous popular move
nent was never before witnessed in thc Western
States. Party ties were everywhere thrown to
fhe winds, and the only oensures heard were
against their own Western President, for not
balllng for two hundred Thousand men. instead
pf the limited number he had designa ted j.; and
he only fears expressed were that not half of
hose who were anxious to 60 would be accepted
by the Government. With this uprising came
so the wild cries of denuncia,on against the
battered Secessionists, or their apologists, occa-
ionally to be found skulkins in the cities and
llages. Vigilance Committees in these places
ere promptly organized, and lacked employ
lcnt only through the scarcity or sudden dry

The British Pass ON THE AMERICAN REpEII.
ioN.-The British press universally take sides
with our Government in The matter of tho
Southern rebellion, with the one exception Of
tho London Times, which enjoys the unen7ia-
bic distinction of being sort OF halfway apol-
ogiSt for Southern secession. I his is the paper
that threw cold water on the movements Of its
Government in the Crimcan war. Had the
British press generally sided with the Secession
lists, the Times would probably have warmly
e9poused tho cause of our Government. It
likes to De contrary, or rather to stand alone in
Its advocacy OF any great movement.
