The War reeling. The marlitl spirit of the North is at last aroused. The roH'of the drum if? heard in every hamlet from the Pines nC Maine to lite plains of K-iiiBn?, and from Mason and Dix on', to the Canada line. Northern blood moves tlovvly. it is not easily fired, but when it comes it comes li!e the rushinir avalanche, ns. resistless as the Thunder bolts of Jove. On this account, the takin ot Fort Sumpier 'bv the rebel forces was ! lie happiest event that has transpired in the last quarter of a century. It has made unit tit the North in three days. Party feeling and party dis junctions are obliterated, and buried beneath the wave of a common interest and a com inon danper. The ereat invincible North and Went stand up to day, to a mfin, to vin dicate our Country's flair, and hurl to the shades of Hell, the daetards who have insult ed it, and plotted to overthrow the Republic God be praised, there is patriotism and vir lure and honor and courage still in existence, and our glorious country is snfe. Our usually quitt Borough, has presented tin un'.vonted appearance for the pr.st week; with crowds of excited citizens, from town and country para dins' the streets, with drums beating and the thrill fife screaming, ami flags flying. Several meetings have been held in the Court house for the purpose ot raising one or more volunteer companies lor service in the cumins struggle. Captain Keller ib here with such portion of his Com pany as arc willing to go, and the citizens are volunteering to fill up the ranks. As soon nt the Company is full (73 men are re quired) Us services will te tendered to the Governor.

Fort Suctter. at we Dnnouunced last rer, ha- been Furrendered to traitors, and now the tcry fig flaunt- defiantly over her battlements Virginia has seceded and uko t-'.des with the traitors.

For doy after Vir-iuia seceded, the Fed rHl Capitol a in great danger of being ipyited y the trsitors, Lut now ji i bt Tfeived to be safe. ""'The patriotism of tbu Free North is a routed to the highest pitch, fully detet tuiued to avenge the iusult- heaj'cd upon our National flag, cud to put down tbe -traitor-, and to maintain bt all hazards the 'Constitution and Union, which n-ir o dearly purchased by our forcluther- .,e,nJ cemeuted with their blood. llecruiting in all the Northern States is going on at a rapid rate, and very soon '8 will have a treQiPndous force in the field more than ablp to cope with any force the traitors nsy produce The North is a uuit.and is nnaoimou ly resolved that the Federal laws shall be euforced.
