General Sigel has been in St. Loujg since Thursday last, in response to a request of General Halleck, and left this morning for Rolla, to take command of his division, now enroute for Lebanon. The report made some days since, and telegraphed over the country, that General Sigel had no intentiorf of resigning, but would remain in the service, was very gratifying to his friends everywhere, but lack- he was ¢pposed to Tam for cutting up tand with success, direttion. ‘The peo- to"be applied to a that policy which | @@ the essential element of truth.

Since he first entered the service he has een subjected to numerous annoyances at the hands of officers of Ameri- can birth, prominent among whom are many ef those at- tached to ‘the regular army. The reasons that can be assigned for their malignity and hatred are that General Sigel is of foreign birth, is not a West Point gratuate, displays military ability, and is popular with the people. I have listened many times tothe vituperation-of Amori- can officers against General Sigel, and can find no real reason for it other than those given above. About the end of November, after the army in General Fremont’s command had returned to the line of the rail- road, General Sigel came to this city, and was couiinea to his room for three weeks by an attack of rheumatism. On December 21 he had sufficieatly recovered to resume the command, and on that day roported for duty. Gene- ral Halleck sent him to Rolla, with orders to organize the force there and prepare # for ‘movement into the Southwest. General Sigel at once obeyed orderr, and” after holding command for five days, and gotting the or- ganization fairly under way, was-surprised at the appear- ance of General Curtis to take his place at the head of the army. As General Sigel bad been three times in: the Southwest under trying: circumstances, and was then about ready to move with a more favora\le pros- pect, he felt that his treatment at ‘that juncture was hardly justifiable. Added to this .was the fact that seve- ral regiments that had been raised in his name, and with ‘a promise of serving under‘him, bad’ been placed in other commands, On the 31st of December General Sigel ten. tered his immediate and unconditional resignation ‘through the proper authorities, giving: his reasons for so doing.

Halleck, at ‘the time of making this communication, requested Gen. Sige) to- withdraw his resignation and remain in the service. On the 8th of January Gen. Sigel replied to the letter of the 2d, declining to withdraw his remanatiog: and giving additional reasons for doing 60; Bs se -which was the statement that the [i OF ganization furnished by General Sige. LS received by General Halleck’s Adjutant without cliciting any reply whatever. Ou‘ he following day, he sent another note to General Halleck, stating that he did not wish to have his personal matters interfere with avy arrangements that General Halleck might have made, and expressing his desire to r@teive and obey all orders until his resignation had been acted upon by the President. On the 11th General Halleck replied to General Sigel’s !et- ter, denying having been the cause of the additional com- plaints of the latter, and in a postscript said ho was happy to learn that Genera! Sigel had no intention of quitting the service, adding that lie had not gent the resignation of the latter to the President ,as he hoped the matter might ve amicably arranged. ‘The position of this unfortunate affair is that General Sigel, pressed upon, hampered and annuyed in numerous savety and success, in the contract instead of contain- The It comes before us the bill is to pre- At the banks.

A gentleman who has taken tho trouble'to measure the depth of snow that’has fallen at-every storm that we have had at Albany this winter assures me that, up to the 1st of February, the aggregate depth of snow that had fallon was exactly six feet. This measurement, of course, ‘wag made before the snow had settled and while it laid loose. If it continues in that way during the balance of the winter we may be prepared forone of the largest freshets in the-spring ever known to this datitude. The Canal Board are to make the usual appoint ment, of collectors, loek tenders and other subordinates on the canals this week.

The State Medica} Society commences its annual session here to-day, and wid continue gome three days. We are having a goodly number of doctors in attendance—all of the old school.” We shall soon be ablo to see whether their presence is conducive to the general health of the Legislature or the reverse. Another effort was made last night in the accustomed line marked out by this Legislature as their special duty is ors ress what to do. A resolution was 7 | “Moye to the abolishment of sutlers. A cn tobacco, ane mide to add to the rations of volunteers obiected. po tt toadd cider. To these Mr. Phelps . thought that it was about time that these apparently unnecessary resolutions, which were multiplying upon the House, were stopped. At this stage of proceedings Mr. Smith offered a substitute for all tha resolutions, requesting our members of Congress and in- ting our Senators to resign their scats, and that thia Legislature proceed immediately to Washington to transact their business. This is certainly an appropriate resolution, About tlie only thing done in the Legislature as yet is the introduction and passage of resolutions about affairs at Washington; and if that is the whole business of this Legislature, as many of the members ap- pear to think it is, the sooner they go to Washington the better. The instructing dodge hee been played for all that it is worth. ‘The principal feature of the Senate this morning was the final disposition of the Senator Bright resolutions. ‘The question was discussed at some length upon the amendment offered by Senator Bell, several other amend- ments were offer d voted down, and the party Bell rung around the e,and the Senators drummed up to the mark as far as porsible. ‘The substitute or amend ment was, that in the opinion of this Legislature Senator Bright is a traitor aud ought to be expelled. Senators Smith, Hutchinson, Low and Richards favored the reso- lution, and Senators Ramsey and Ganson opposed any in- terference in it whatever. ‘The position that Senator Prayn tool: on Saturday, that this rebellion had its ori- gin With the abolitionists, drow ont lengthy comments, and.he was handled somewhat roughly. Senator Gan: son, we think, hit the true secret that has got up ali of this trouble. Ina short, pertinent and exceedingly ap- propriate speech, he opposed all interference in this mat- ter. The introduction of the original resolution, and the manner in which it bad been handled on that side, must have convinced every person that the resolut.on had been introduced, not for the purpore of securing the expulsion of Senator Bright, but to strike at Senator Har- ris and force him to resign, that anothef set of politicians could have the control of that position, He for one would bave no part or lot in that controversy which could not be prompted by honest motives. He would also answer the question that the Senator from the uty-sixth (Folger) asked of the Senator from Albany (Pruyn). if he was nota lawyer and believed in forms. He (Ganson) would state that he is a lawyer and believed in forms and the constitution; he could hot go contrary to the teach- ings of the former, or violate the constitution by voting for thege resolutions. He was cut short in his debate by the Président notifying him that the hour bad arrived that had been fixed upon for the tinal vote to be taken. ‘The vote resulted in the adoption of the substitute, “That, in the opinion of this Legislature, Senator Bright is a traitor, and ought to be expelled.” All the republi- cans, with the exception of Senator Ramsey, one of the original supporters of Senator Harris in the last Legisla- ture for the seat that he now occupies. Senator Connolly explained his vote in the negative, stating that his pro- judices were against Senator Bright, bes be could not vote upon his prejudices without having an opportunity to investigate the whole question, and therefore yoted no. Let us turn for a moment to the statement of Senator Ganson in regard to the intended stab at Senator Harris. It is a well known fact that Senator Harr's secured his election in opposition to the influences of Weed, and also that of the radicals, who supported Greeley. In other words, Senator Harris had a sirong party that could not be swerved from him by any entreaties on either side. And by their standing by him Weed’s influence was eventually turned from Evarts to Harris. Notthat he desired the nomination of Harris or loved him more, bnt because he despised and hated Greeley worse than all others. Had the contest continued a little longer, either Greeley would have been nominated or his supporter would have gone over to Harris. Taking either horn of the dilemma, ‘Weed and his associates Were in an exceedingly tight place,and made a virtue of necessity. As the matter #tood, Senator Harris, on receiving the certificate of elec- tion, felt that he had no particular obligations to cither side. When he took his seat at Washington there was a great contest ax to who should run him, the Weed politi cians or the Greeleyites. For a long time these warriny factions kept back the appointments of this State, until the ownership of Senator Harris was settled. But finally the Senator became disgusted with both sides, ddiscabded them both and set up for himself, resolved to do his own thinking and be his own prompter. Upon coming to that decision Rufus Andrews was appointed Surveyor of the ort of New York. This was done at the request of nator Harris, and wae the first official notification that the Weedites and Greeleyites received that neither one of them hada title of Senator Harris in their possession, From that time to the present there has been the st bitter opposition to the Senator manifested on all occasions by adherents of both of these factions, have heen made, stories industriously circulated to injure‘him ag a public man and destroy his influence asaSenator, The last dodge is tho offort in the Senate to whip eee kena fe of Senator Bright. In the coutest, however, Senator Low and others who favored the resolution have always great friendship for Senator Harris, as well as confidence in him, but their re- marks in the debate have been specially severe upon Mr. Harris; but as far as Senators Low and Truman are con- cerned, the friends of Harris can congratulate themselves that they abused ‘Lindley Murray” worse than they did Senator Harris. The resolution having passed the Senate, now comes down into tho Assembly, and we shall no doubt have a geat deal of time consumed on that question im the lower branch of the Legisinture. Since the Sena has ordered a bill of indictment to go out against @enn © Bright directly, and Senator Harris indirectly, in order that the prtiic may not make the charge of inconstancy hoa them, we would advise them to indict the Chamber of Commerce of New York. According to reports Senator Bright wrote the letter to Jeff. Davia early in the month of a ioe ae rior to the fall of Fort Sumter. About the m: of March, and subse- quent to the date said to be given on that letter, the po- liee of the city of New York seized arms and ammuni- tion that were en route for the Southern States. There ‘was @ great excitement over it, and finally the Chamber of Commerce came to the rescue, and passed a rezoltion stating that the arms and ammunition ought to be de- livered up and sent forward, They were given up and vent to the Southern States. Now if Bright is guilty for writing a letter introducing a person that bad a pa- mene also guilty for orderir g weapons that could be used the moment that they reac eit destination? The Senate having disposed of one question, now let us have the bili of indictmeut in the other. are traitore among us lot us haye them outof the way, bas been the argument cf the Senators. ‘The balance of the session of tho Senate was taken up in the notices, introduction of bills aud reports of com- mittees. Severalbills cf interest to the city of New York turned up, a synopsis of which have been forw: by all tho morning in the the Associated Press ogent. The Assembly was engaged 7 Committee of the Whole on local bills affecting byways, turnpikes, claims and sundry other unimportant ques- tions of no interest to the general public. ‘there has Leen considerable talk over the idea that no “Book of Martyrs” or biographical sketch of the Legisla- ture was to eppear. Several members being anxious to have such a book for reference, as well as amusement, have addvessed the following note to Mr. Murphy:— Aunayy, Jan. 30, 1862. Wa. D. Munrny, Fsq.:— Deak Sin—Having mnderstood that you do not design writing the biographical sketches of the mein- bers of this Legislature, as you did those of the last and the three preceding Legislatures, we feel authorized in appealing to you not to abandon’ an enter- prise whick you have go ably and impartially begur, As & book of reference, aside {rom its interest in various other respects, the few volumes already issued by you have been found to possess invaluable interest, and’ wo find that a discontinuance 0: the work would be univer- sally regarded as a very serious loss to the political his tory of thoState, We earnestly beg you, therefore, to reconsider your determination In the premises and agein resume the work.

"The above was signed by nearly all of the old members that have been re-elected, as well as a number of others. ‘To this Mr. Murphy replies as follow: Z ALBANY, GxytixwaN—I thank you for the compliment of communication, Ishail endeavor, in compliance with your request, ‘to take the live cers and members of I shail not find time, in consequence of other engage- ments, to complete {he work till alter your adjournment.
