Sketch OF Major now Brigadier.Genera al
samuel ID. SlulglA, U. q. Army.

Who Conducted tie Great Battle near Springfield,
Aissouri, after Me Foil Of Gen. Lynn.
General Sturgs is . native of Cumberland
county, Pennsylvania, and graduated at the
West Point Military Academy in 1916, in the
same class with General Mcclellan. He was
breveted Lieutenant of Dragons, and joined
the army in Mexico, under Gen. Taylor. m
Among other distinguished services rendered
there, upon one occasion it became important,
before the battle of Buena Vista, to ascertain
if the enemy were occupying the opposite side
Of high mountain but its ascent by squad
ron of dragons sent out on a reconnaissance was
deemed impracticable Sturgis Immediately un.
dertook the enterprise himself, accompanied by
single private soldier. Upon reaching the
summit, on foot, he was fred upon by an smbus-
cade of Mexicans, taken prisoner, and carried
into General Ainon's camp. The firing upon
him, however, being heard by the squadron,
gave General Taylor the desired information;
AID, deeply lamenting the supposed death Of his
young officer, he prepared to avenge him in the
ever memorable battle Of Buena Vista. Alter
the battle an exchange Of prisoners took place,
and the old General was 90 rejoiced at the safety
and restoration Of Sturgis that he entertained
him suHptuously at his own tent After the
war he was assigned to duty in New Mexico;
and such was the promptness with which he
pursued and punished some of the maraudine
bands OF Indians in that Territory, and recover
ed the stolen property OF the citizens, that upon
one occasion the Legislature rendered him .
joint resolution of THANKS, and, joined by the
Executive and Judicial Department, urg, d the
President to confer upon him the appointments
of Major In the army. Congress having created
two regiments Of cavalry, the President appoint
ed him to . Captaincy, side by side with Gen.
Mcclellan. Thus distinguished for successtul

AT tho time it occurred, We made no reference
to the arrest Of Dr.. T., at bis request and out Of
regard for his family In reply to his card, pub.
Iished in this paper Monday, we are authorized
to say, by Col Warren, that the following are
the facts 10 the case:
DR.. Tallant's statement with regard to his ar.
rest is false in every particular. He was not de-
tanned in camp but three hours. He was treated
with perfect consideration, and furnished with
good quarters at the Barret House, and at his
departure warmly thanked Capt. w. G. n. Tor
renee for his gentlemanly and kind treatment,
and requested him to express his satisfaction to
the soldiers Of the guard who were with him at
his arrest.
+ His conduct during his examination, which
was conducted with every regard to decorurn and
delicacy, was singularly indecent, insolent aid
profane. He absolutely refused to take the oath
and to civil questions, necessary to be put, re-
piled by railing and elimination.
Notwithstanding his denial, he had q passport
from the Southern authorities, and had on bis
person, memoranda of the number of troops
raised in the North Western States, which with
his known intelligence and accuracy Of memory,
would have furnished valuable information 10
the leaders of the rebellion. His arrest was an
obvious duty of the Commander of the Post and
If any additional evidence was needed as to iti
propliety, it can be found in bis published com

Great Expectations.
| Great expectations are rarely fulfilled. When
they are, the circumstance is regarded as fortai-
tous, exceptional happy chance. The great
truth is that al worthy ends are only attainable
At the cost Of patient labor and sacrifice. Yet
persons and nations persist in anticipating re.
suits which can only exist by combination Of
the most favorable events The idea is always
good, the selection of means wise, the end near
and radiant with promise. The actual is 90 op-
posite to the supposed that hope is lost, and men
sink under the iron task. This was the error
with which We began this war. This is the se-
cret of much faintheartedness now We form.
ed great expectations OF cverything,-of our
| courage of our leaders-of the subsection Of
the rebels. We never meant to fly, in success.
sion Butler, Scott, Lyon, Mcclellan, and Fre'
mont were to perform supcrhuman deeds, three
months were to witness the recovery Of the
misguided rebels, and seventy five thousand men
we're sufficient to accomplish it. There was not
man who dreamed last March, that we should
have made NO greater headway; yet the truth
remains that defeat, ineompctency, disappoint-
ment. have been our lot, in place of certain and
easy victory. And why? Not because of an
unrighteous cause, or the invincible strength
Of our foe. but simply because we formed great
expectations in ignorance of the facts, and fer
getfulncss Of psst experience. This is our great
source Of disappointment and will DO of danger
too. Nothing has yet occurred to justify the
depression which many feel. Bull Run, and all
the other runs, do not compare with the reason-
able alarm of the Southern States, and our troops
everywhere are daily becoming more ardent and
efficient.
But if we would maintain an equal state of
feeling and achieve success, let us ut once sober
our expectations and come down to the stern
conviction that this is great, mercilese, and
perhaps protracted war. That the loss or gain
Of a battle will not materially Influence the is
sue, nor men, however lauded, accomplish more
than ordinary minds could with appropriate
and sufficient means. We have regarded this
conflict as q paroxysm, we find it a chronic dis
ease. We thought it an outbreak of passion, it
is a conflict of principles. We fancied our ma
ton the only interested party, the issues will
influence all times and peoples

adopted, to wit: ft4as
Resolved, That the present deplorable civil
war has been forced upon the country by the
Disunionists of the Southern States now in re-
volt against the Constitutional Government and
in arms around the Capital.
Resolued That in this national emergency,
banishing all feeling of mere passion or resent
ment, or party feeling, will recollect only our
duty TO the whole country, that this war is not
waged upon our part in any spirit Of oppression
nor for any purpose Of conquest or subjugation,
nor for the purpose of overthrowing or inter.
fering with the rights or the established nstitu.
tions of the States, but to defend and maintain
the supremacy of the Constitution aad to pre-.
serve the Union with all the dignity, equality
and rights of the several States unimpsired, aud
that as soon as these objects are accomplished,
the war ought to cease.
Resolved, In the language Of the Hon Joseph
Holt, that we are for this Union without condi.
tion, one and indvsible, now and forever, for
its preservation at any and every cost Of blood
and treasure against all its assailants and against
any and every compromise that may be pro:
posed to be made under the guns of the rebels1

Nation, against moral honesty, against human.
ty, against the laws of Heaven-have Constitu-
tional claims on the Government for the pro-
lection Of their property, and especially their
Slaves who are now being used for our National
ruin
As well might you urge the suicidal absurdity
that We must be very careful net to hurt in the
least the black-heartcd and bloody handed assas-
sin who assails US with the settled and malig-
nant purpose to kill. Not only will it be no
violation Of the Constitution to deprive the
bells of their property, Slaves and all, but the
Constitution will justify the taking and use of

zens without their consent, if the necessities Of

lutely require 1.-THE Government paying in the
end for all such property. And should our ma.

must be the reign Of the Slave power by the to-

the destruction Of Slavery as Me only means Of
