Col. Franz siegel.

Col Franz Sitgel, the officer who command
ed the Federal troops 10 the engagement near
Carthage is one OF the best officers in the service
Of the Government. lie is not only brave man.
but practical and experienced soldier. 10 the
revolution of ls4s be was commander of the
under the provisional government of Hecker,
Struve, and Breutuno and conducted the cam-
paigu with great skill. The insurrecton having
been fully suppressed by the Prussian army,
Segel made his escape to this country, where
Hecker and other Of bis compatriots also found
refuge.
For several years past Col. Segel has resided
10 st. Louis, and on the first call Of the Presi-
dent for troops to defend the government against
the Vaccinations OF the rebels he instantly
entered the field, raised a regiment of German
troops in st. Louis. Hecker, his former supe-
ror, left his pleasant home in Illinois With his
son, and both entered as privates in Sigels
regiment. This prompt and patriotic move
alton of their fellow country.men 10 Illinoss,
who Immediately organized jaeger reg't in that
State, and sent for Hecker to become their com
mander. AT first Hecker declined the offer Of
q commander, declaring that he had no higher
aspiration than to serve as private soldier uu-
der his old friend Segel, in whom he had more
confidence than in himself; but, yielding to con-
tnued solicitations, he procured his dismissal
from Sgieel's regiment, aud proceeded to Illinois
to assume the Colonecy of the Jagers. The
regiment is now encamped near Alton, Ill.

there should be no danger Of their retreat being
en-, of and they are sufficiently well lort.
eeJ there is q bare possibility that they may
make temporary stand here, but there is scarce
ly any probability that such will be the case.
A later dispatch says Fairfax was taken in
the afternoon without losing man. The reb-
els had been 6OOO strong at that point, but
evacuated with but slight resistance. Four Of
our men we're wounded-two seriously. The
enemy lett large quantity Of baggage and
stores behind 10 their fight, also large num-
berof tents. They fell back towards Mauas-
sas, upon their reserve and battle was looked
for. Geo. johnson it is said has succeeded in
escaping Gen. Patterson aud fallen back upon
Beauregnrds force. If so the latter has not
less than 10000 and probably 10000 men al
command.
Our troops at night extended three miles be.
yond Fairfax.
A dispatch from Gen. Mcdowell says that
he intended to press on ipme liately, but the
enemy has so obstructed the road with fallen
trees, barbados &C., that the march was q very
fatiguiug one, They will take a short rest, and
then push forward.
The two Ohio regiments are in the advance
and near the van Of the army. They will have
the taste Of war for which they have been sigh
lug.
There is the most feverish anxiety to catch
the latest reports.

WISE AND HIS FATE.-The report of the
woundiOg of Gov. WISE, which produced such
glow of satisfaction in almost every loyal
heart has been somewhat undermined and sha-
ken, and given place in measure to disappoint-
ment, because Of the failure of ready confir-
nation. After some little delay however, we
get through the Wheeling IateiLigeAcer q cir.
cumstantial account Of the manner Of the
wounding, which looks sufficiently probable to
re-assure US that this arch-apostate has been at
last oyertaken with a reward measurably suited
to his deserts. The account runs as follows :
A gentleman from Mason county brings the in
formation, that it is reliably ascertained that
Henry A. Wise, If not actually dead, is so bad.
ly wounded that there is no danger of his re.
coyery. Wise and his body guard, as before
stated, were going to fill an appointment at Sis
sonve. Some forty Union men, who not feel
ing safe at their homes, had been spending most
OF their time 10 the woods, armed with ordinary
rifles, heard Of Wse's coming, and secreted
themselves-ambuscaded iu the regular way
and upon their approach, each man fred at his
man, when the aSsaultiug party retreated to the
top OF a high hill Wise and Patton, togeth.
er with about thirty or forty others were seen
to fall. The Union men, after reaching the top
OF the bill, saw those who escaped carrying off
the dead and wounded.
Several persons recently arrived from Charles
town, say that there is no mistake about Wise
being wounded, and as he has been suffering
from disease, it is supposed he cannot recover
An account, apparently later than the fore
going, takes all the veracity out of this.
