He was there met by flag of truce from the rebel ‘troops, asking for an arrangement without a fight; ut they, receiving the intelligence that an unconditionsl surrender only could be ac- cepted, the rebel general gave his command the Ption of atrrendering or disbanding.

He begins by painting the disas- trous effects of war upon a nation’s prosperity. He says it is “the most destructive pursuit in which a people can engage—the figure of a candle lighted at both ends affords but an im- perfect illustration of the wastefulness of war.” He goes on to show that “the latest-and: highest inventions of men are used for the destruction of property and life—it takes from. the: belli- gerent community its productive power, its energy, its enterprise—the men of the couatry, from eighteen to forty-five, quitting their peace- ful pursuits to exgage in the work of destruc- tion—having withdrawn the vital power from the community, it taxes its accumulated wealth to feed, clothe, arm and transport those who, in peace, were the source of its increasing wealth | Ment, and to tell their representatives ‘a tones advocating the policy of emancipation.

Just at the present time the abolitionists are doing their very best and worst to seize the reine of power; for already the end of rebellion seems assured, and they know that few weeks more’ of quiet. confidence in the government will see’ the rebels, South and North, forever and effentually crashed out. It is just this mo- ment of life or death that ihey seize, therefore, to prevent, if possible, any appeal to the re- pressed Union sentiment of the South, by urging the passage of an emancipation act; and, imleo- tures, in petitions and in newspaper appeals, no stone is left unturned to aid them to succeed in this diabolical scheme. It is at such amo- ment that the conservative masses should. be equally prompt, vigilant ard active. It is too well’ understood now to need further demonstration that the abolitionists of the North and the rebels of the South are en- gaged in a common conspiracy against the ‘Union. Indeed, these two conspiracies were at |\ first precisely identical in their objects, and ‘Both were In favor of:a- Southern confederacy ‘immediately.

We are quite sure) #00, that the German sentiment df this city is the German feeling of the whole country, ard that, beyond few foolishly jealous army offl- cers, it is the feeling ef our loyal soldiers and people of all nationalities. General Sigel has proved himself a military leader of rare experience, abilities and bravery. We think it may be said of him, without injustice to any other officer, that his achieve- ments at Carthage and Springfield exhibited a degree of military skill, self-possession; cvol. ness, energy and activity unsurpassed in the history of this war. He is too good an officer to be set aside, when, from his peculiar abilities and great experience as a general, he would be accepted yith enthusiasm by any brigade or division of the arniy as their leader. Some- thing, too, in thi matter; is due to our German citizens, whose patriotism iirfilling the ranks of our army, East and West, has Won the admira- tion of President Lincoln, his Cabinet and the country, We respectfully, therefore, submit the case of General Sigel to thaspecial atien- tion of the President, and with the hope that he will speedily reinstate this distinguished officer at the Sof a brigade or a division, whose duty it willbe to take some position where military skill ajd cool sagacity and courage will be’ especially demanded.
