THERE was An instance Of just reiribntiOn
for treason at Rich Mountain. Hon. John
Hughes, of Beverly, member Of the Viz
ginia Secession Convention Ut Richmond,
heard, by some means. that onr troops were
endeavoring 10 turn the flank Of the rebels.
He mounted q horse and sped up the hill
rapidly, to convey the Information to Col.
Pegram. When near the summit. be was
suddenly hailed by pickets. Supposing they
were Federal pckcts, be cried out, hold. |

fell into the road u corpse, riddled by thirty
balls. He had lied, and his own friends,

lieving they were killing an enemy, put an

MORE or Col. SIGEI.-Col. Sigel is ma
tive of Baden-Baden. During the revolu-
tionary GermaniC wars of l848, he at one
time commanded $4,000 men against an op-
posing force OF 40 900, and managed, by
extraordinary strategic skill, to divide aud
defeat his enemy several times aud long
kept them at bay. He served also in the
Crimean war, entering French corps az a
SGns Lieutenant, and was promoted before
its close to the rank of captain. The Hon.
John M. Richardson, formerly Secretary of
State and now strong Union man, was
present at the battle Of Carthage. lie
writes confirming the accounts of the bat
tle given by Lieut.. TOsk, and says that
Sigel's courage, GOODNESS and skill were
never exceeded on battle field. He told
his soldiers they we're fighting not only for
their own preservation but that of all the
Federal forces In the Southwest, who, scat.
tered 81 they were in batallions and regi-
ments over an extended range Of country,
would be attacked by the rebels one after
another with overwhelming forces aud cut
OF. He often repeated this exhortation du-
ring the day, telling them If they would
save themselves by steadiness. discipline
and courage, they would also save 5000
comrades who would be imperilled by their
defeat. The wisdom Of these predictions
has since been verified. The rebels lost 40
heavily they were unable to continue the
pursuit beyond Carthage, and the Federal
forces all concentrated at Springfield where
Lyon and Sturgis have arrived, and they
can now assume the offensive with new
plan Of campaign.

marshal street procession at nigit, or
pack primary in their ward or township
Ut home, but who understand military sci-
ence about as much as q horse does the ru'
dimenis of music. One case recently pre-
eented itself in q striking light. A yOung
man from BrO0klyn-a CT deUGnt clerk from
o hOurishing dry goods esLabIi shment in
the City of Chnrches-vIsited the quar-
ters of the list, immensely inflated with .
lst Lieutenant's commission that day OBJ
tanned through the red tape department.
In the course OF conversation with some
of his acquainta0ces, be naively remarked
that IL he did not know anything about
military tactics, be knew las much as the
captain, who was as green as he was"
Heaven help the men who may be led into
battle BY such officers. who, though they
may have the requisite courage, cannot
cope with troops the majority of whom
are conceded TO be men OF thorough mill
tary education. Another individual from
Boston was created captain, although be
did not know the manual OF arms. There
are many who have enlisted as recruits,
and are not yet three months in military SER
vice, that are said to have obtained COM
missions solely through political influence.
The recipients of such favOrs, of course,
are not to blame. Who is? Others have
been taken from certain regiments to be
made officers of in other regiments-On
the principle. probably, that one cannot
be 9 prophet in bis own country. AnOth-
er case Of this kind. is that of a yOungster
OF 20 years-an unsophisticated youth, who
could not carry mnsket properly IN the
ranks TO save bis life-who IN one day has
vaulted from out Of the awkward squad
into lieutenanant's uniform, and left bis
company with flying cOl0rs to go home and
join some new regiment. Probably by this
time lie Is o major or colonel /; and If his
friends are In favor at Court, he may pos
sibly be brigadier general before be flesh
es his maiden sword.
There is every reason to believe that the
Commander in.Chief IL opposed to this kind
of nepOGsm, as are all OfOur most expericn-
ced military men. The system is one that
must inevitably tend to demOralize the
Federal army, for under leaders, who in
many instances know less than the men
they are TO lead. how can anything but dis
aster be expected? The press, here and
there, we are glad to see, are placing this
matter 10 its true light-and 1t is to be
hoped that there will be no relaxation Of
that criticism--until the abuses complained
of are reformed. The lives of the gallant
man who have aocked to the standard Of
their country, ct the call of duty, are too
valuable to be thrown away, in order to
Obllge this or that political favori1e, who
may be anxious to have bis cousin, or bis
son, or bis brother wear gold lace. or
