It is impossible for us to group in our columns one-tenth of the military movements which are pervading the nation. Every State is preparing to pour forth its volunteers. Nor is the effort confined to the people. Some of their representatives are feeling the war spirit, and exchanging their seats in the legislature for the tented field. General Price, from Missouri, Governor Yell, of Arkansas, and Mr. Baker, a whig member from Illinois, have left Congress for the West, to serve in the field. "Westward, ho," is the signal, and hundreds are repairing to the camp!—Union.
