Extent Of Gcn. Twigg's Trea-
son.

The severest blow which the United
States government bas received since the
commencement Of our troubles was that
given by the treason of Gen. Twiggs in
Texas. Its importance has hardly been
estimated 10 the North. 1t was sur
render of 5000 splendid regular soldiers.
Of thirteen forts, of $4,000 stand of
arms, Of so pieces of ordinance, Of $55-,
600 iu money of horses for a regiment Of
cavalry, mules wagons, tents, provisions,
ammunition and munitions Of war, to the
estimated value of from 81, 100000 to
$S 100000! Had it not been for Twiggs
and FLOYD, the rebels would have but
few arms or few fortified places in their
possession. They gave them, from their
position, more material assistance than all
the world besides.-La Crosse Repub-
