Effect of surrender of Detroit-Volunteers of 1812-Symmes' " Card"-Indian warfare-Cruelties of the Savages-The massacre at the River Raisin-The Defence of Fort Stephenson by Croghan and his brave compeers. The surrender of Detroit, after the first momentary shock of its announcement, aroused the spirit and patriotism of the entire country, particularly among the Western people, who felt especially aggrieved by the disaster. A feeling, amounting to enthusiasm, per- yaded the whole community. The country was electrified. The call to arms was hailed with rapture by the pioneer population of the West. Men capable of bearing arms vied with one another who should be first to enroll themselves. Men of all ranks and stations in life, filled the rolls of volunteers. By the twenty-fifth of August, nine days after the surrender, four thousand men, armed and equipped, voluntarily assembled at Urbana, in Ohio. Governor Meigs, of that State, was honorably and conspicuously active in encouraging the patriotism manifested by his fellow citizens. Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, Maryland and Pennsylvania, poured forth their best citizens by thousands. The City and County of Baltimore proposed alone to raise an entire regiment. On the spur of the moment, eighteen hundred Kentuckians marched from Newport. The gallant Col. Richard M. Johnson, then member of Congress from Kentucky, proposed to raise five hundred mounted men, and march forthwith to Detroit, trusting to the liberality of Congress for future indemnification. Kentucky was represented on different portions of the Western frontier by at least six thousand of her brave volunteers. Virginia sent out fifteen hundred men, for whom the ladies of Richmond made knapsacks and tents.
