Not one man will the State of Missouri furnish to carry on such an unholy crusade. There is such a coincidence of sentiment anfrom the Northwest, to prevent the approach through the Ohio of Southern troops, and to cut off Missouri from Southern support; and when she is thus isolated, to invade and crush her. The safety of MiMissouri requires that she should seize and hold that position at whatever cost. Without it, she will soon cease to breathe the air of freedom.

We spent Sunday in Columbia, Tennessee; Monday, at Nashville; and at four o'clock on Tuesday morning, April 28, 1861. departed for Louisville. At Columbia we received the first glad tidings since we left New Orleans.

There we met a bulletin from the Nashville Union and American, containing news of the great uprising in the Free-labor States--the rush of men to arms, and the munificent offers of money from city corporations, banking institutions, and private citizens, all over the country. Our faith in the patriotism of the people was amazingly strengthened; and when, on the following day, at Franklin and one or two other places, Pillow, who was our fellow-passenger, repeated his disreputable harangue at Grand Junction, and talked of the poverty, the perfidy, the

Wine or something stronger had put his caution asleep, and he communicated his plans freely. He was a Knight of the Golden Circle, and was charged with the duty of procuring from the Mexican Congress permission for American citizens to construct a railway from the Rio Grande, through Chihuahua and Sonora, to the Gulf of California. He intended to get permission to commence the work immediately, with five thousand men, armed ostensibly for defense against the Indians. Once in the country, these men would seize and hold possession of those States until sufficiently re-enforced to make the occupation permanent. This was to be the end of the railway enterprise. It was to be a movement, in co-operation with the secessionists of Texas, to open the way for the extension toward Cent

On the day after his harangue at Grand Junction, Pillow was in Memphis, where he assumed the character in iniquity, with crushing force. Our detention at Grand Junction was fortunate for us.

Philadelphia — staid and peaceful Philadelphia — the Quaker City — was gay and brilliant with the ensigns of war. Her streets were filled with resident and passing soldiery, and her great warm heart was throbbing audibly with patriotic emotions, such as stirred her more than fourscore years before, when the Declaration of Independence went out from her venerated State House. Her Mayor (Henry) had just said:--By the grace of Almighty God, treason shall never rear its head or have a foothold in Philadelphia. I call upon you as American citizens to stand by your flag, and protect it at all hazards. Speech of Mayor Henry to a crowd of citizens who were about to attack the printing-office of The Palmetto Flag, a disloyal sheet, on the corner of Fourth and Chestnut Streets. The Mayor exhorted the citizens to refrain from violence. The proprietor of the obnoxious sheet displayed t<

How lavishly that great Northwest poured out its blood and treasure for the preservation of the Union will be observed hereafter. As we journeyed eastward through Ohio, by way of Columbus, Newark, and Steubenville, to Pittsburg, the magnitude and significance of the great uprising became hourly more and more apparent. The whole country seemed to have responded to the call:--Lay down the ax, fling by the spade; Leave in its track the toiling plow: The rifle and the bayonet-blade For arms like yours were fitter now; And let the hands that ply the pen Quit the light task, and learn to wield The horseman's crooked brand, and rein The charger on the battle-field.
