THE WAR SPIRIT IN THE WEST. One of our reporters who has becn spending a fow weeks in the Western States gives the followimg report of ‘te etato of affairs there:— ‘Thero is but one single sentiment pervading the entire ‘West, in all localities, and among both sexes and ail classes ‘ef the pecpie. Even in places where there was a strong Memocratic majority last fall, the rame unan\mity of feel- img and of action, too, prevails. Part ing is com- pletely buried. Party linea are comple’: y obliterated Party issues have vaniehed like en unsubstantial pageant, ‘and have left no trace belind. The peonle of the West recognise but one party—the party of the Union and of the country, They have but one .g—the honored Stars and Stripes. They aro moved but by one watchword— "The Unicn, now and forever, one and inseperable, and doaih to all traitore.” They ermiued that the go- wernment and the administration 6! be sustained, even ‘a ibe sacrifice of pereonal feeling. Thie plain duty they must and will perform. If the South bas suppoaed that im this struggle they would have the sympathies aud the aid of a large and infuential pa or Western States, they have made a grievous mistake no far ag the latter are concernet.

LOUIS ARSENAL REINFORCED. [From the +t.

Yesterday the necessary orders hav! been received by General Harney, about seven handre’ atbletic young men were enlisted under President Lin- coln’s recent proclamation. They were duly sworo ib and placed under command of the arsenal officers. The enlistment will continue today. We understand that about fifteen hundred men have tendered their services, and will be accepted. This settles the question about the eafety of the ars‘nal from the attacks of the ene- mies of the government. SECESSION IN MISSOURI. FROM OUR MISSOURI CORRESPONDENT. Sr. Josmrn, Mo., April 22, 1861. A meeting of secessionists took place bere on Saturday last, the 20th inst., for the purpose of hoisting a fiag. Among tne number were about forty horremen, attired in red woollen shirts, and wearing a blue cockade. They bore the appellation of the Buchanan County Rangers. The flag, on which were fifteen stars, was raised at noon, and raluted with cannon—a discharge for each star. After bearing a short address, the crowd—which was not very large—dirpers: d, to reassemble at two P. M., where they were addressed by Judge Hudgins, one of the dele- gates to the State Convention; Mr. R. Dennel, another delegate; Colone) Scott, a member of the Legislature, and others, ‘The remarks were more or less strovgly in favor of secession. Last Saturday morning the United States Arreval in Liberty, Clay county, waa seized and garrisoned by one bondred Misrouriars. It contained thirteen hundred stand of arme avd about a dozen pieces of artillery, all of which was expected to be distributed ip Clay and the ad- joining counties, to be used ip stopping the passage of the feccral troops which are expected here in a few days from above. The secession fecling is increasing through- out the State daring the past week The Union men are at present very quiet, as many of them have been badly assaulted. That there are some here may be judved from the fact that the secession flag was removed the sime night, bot another was put in its place yesterday, aud an adajtional one on the market house, : ILLINOIS.

Nearly $100,000 has been raised ip the city by private subscription, a free gift to arm the people. City banks have offered half a million to the State, and more if needed. Chicago sent seven bundred men, who arrived at Springfield on Sunday night, and last night four hundred more to Cairo, armed to the teoth, all ready to fight. Chicago wiJ send ten thonsand Wen, and the State seventy five thousand, aad can furvieh $10,000,000 caeh to carry on the war, and provision epough to keep her army as long as the South want to fight. We are all Union men here: our motto:—‘‘No se- cession allowed; victory to the Stars and Stripes, or total annihiletion to all traitors and proslayery men Freedom = and our rermment shall triumph thovgh half a eontinent die in arms!” This grandest of republics. cn which the sun ever sbhone—this temple, sacred to universal liberty—is not to fall yet.

South Carolina raised the wind, and the whirlwind will Foon smooth her flery disposition down, and she will yet sue for peace, as soon as she realizes the terrtole power of tho great North when fighting for the right, for God and humanity, OHIO TROOPS. There are now over six thousand voiunteers at Colum- bus, which is more than can be properly accommodated. No more are to be sent there at present. The factories of Col.

(From the Louisville Journal, April 22 } Ifany of our officers are still entertaining the thovght of lending money to Gov.

OFFICERS FOR THE ARMY. THE WEST POINT MILITARY ACADEMY. ‘The question is repeatedly and earnestly asked, “Why are not the two upper classes at this academy graduated instantly?” Is the administration ignorant of the na- tion’s deficiency in accomplished drillmasters for our ‘volunteers? The senior class has been at the academy five years, Jess two months; the second clasa nearly four yeits. The last Southéra cadets have tendered their resignations, and there still remain in theeo two classes about cighty highly disctplined young men, perfectly competent to as- sume command of any body of troops, from a squad of recruits to a brigadeof regulars. And a still more tmpor- tant point for consideration !ies ia the fact that, with soarce. ly baif a dozen exceptions, these young gentlemen are in- tensely eoger to volunteer their services in any capacity whatever that may tend to serve the cause of their conn - try, and, liko the rest of their countrymen, would work with all the vigor that youthful energy inspirad by a ngble cause can develope. They are both impatient and indignant at;being now restrained 'in inglorious tuactivity, at the very moment that an opportunity is afforded them of rerving eflectually a government t) whica they owe ail that they are. The senior class should be graduated and commissioned without a moment’s unnecessary delay. ‘The second class hould have every superfluous branch of jetady in their emaining course éliminated—thcse exclusively military being aloe retained—ard be sent to duty at the earliest poreible mement. The professors have uaanimously agreed that the first class could safely be graduated in twenty four hours, and the second in two months more. So highly are West Point graduates appreciated among our adversaries that Jefferson Davis is offering them every inducement to enlist in his cause. No price seem» to him too high to pay for their services. He is himself @ graduate, and can therefore properly estimate their value. Even those cadets who have resigned from the lowest classes have received the commissions of lieute- bant and captain in the rebel army. ‘the presence of these eighty young mon among our un- digciplined soldiery would then be an acquisition of incal- culable value; and it cannot be tco forcioly urged upon the attention of the Secretary of War how important it is that the nation should have the immediate and full bene- fit of their services. THE STUDENTS AT WEST POINT EAGER FOR ACTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, Waar Porsr, N. Y., april 26, 1861. Our country is in danget! Volunteors are being called out by tens of thousands!
