From the North.

The Baltimore American, of Wednesday, says:

‘ A gentleman, a resident of this city, who came through yesterday from Philadelphia and New York, furnishes us some interesting facts that came under his notice. The whole country was wild with the war spirit. Philadelphia and New York were thronged with troops, and reinforcements were pouring in from all quarters. Up to Monday night seven thousand had left New York and four thousand from Philadelphia for Washington. Two thousand were at Perrysville, on the east side of the Susquehanna, waiting, on the east side of the Susquehanna, waiting transportation to Annapolis. The Government had four steamers there, brought through the canal, with a number of barges. The whole line of railroad from Philadelphia to the Susquehanna was in the possession of the troops, with small parties stationed at different points.
