Let me set this matter night.
The visit of the Government detectives TO Fal fax
Court House was owing 10 dispatches sent from
Gen. Sigels headquarters, stating that work had
been found for them 10 do by the officers Of The cors
having such matters In charge aud whose other
duties prevented their giving the sars that atien-
ton which was required 10 insure success New
wsa not a sutcr ~ Ces. Sigels headquarters. The
Generals headquarters were In the town Of Fairfax,
where in common with dozen suffers connected
with yarious regiments, New had eN posed bic wares
for safe. Gen. Sil els cook, ho il not negro, was
simply made a tool of by bus frlen Of tie Hebrew
faith. Neither the General nor bis staff knew any
thing about the latter, and al were surprised at the
discovery that their cook wac inplicA ed. lie was
promptly handed over 10 the officers 10 be dealt with
according 10 law. The assertion that the cook had
" goods OF all descriptions consigned 10 him from
New-York, which goods be "helped through our
lines 10 the Rebels" is simply untrue. The fact that,
after the arrest Of the jews he found trying 10
smugele portion Of the goods 10 Wasbngion-not
TO Misunderstanding been thus twisted by tie
builder of the above paragraph. Instead OF "a
swords being found there were but u.
Gen. Sigel and all members Of his staH are prop
ery and even unusually scrupulour as to any trans-
actions Of doubtful proprety, nor is there any
corps where more rigid justice would be meted ont
aQainst all offenders TIE connection which seemed
10 be implied, between Gen. Sgeln headquarters
and a group Of thieves, though the implication was
unintentiona no doubt, on the part Of the writer,
might De niscODstrued by some and the positive
assertion tba, nothing could be further from the
truth, though unnecessary for the many, may reas-
sure the few.
To-day mail brought FIVE official envelopes, ad-
dressed 10 staff officers OF Gen. bige by titles new
TO them. The dispatches contained appointments as
follows:
Ms t. ncysenbOrs Assistant Adjutant General. to be
Capt w Assmussen Chief Of staff to be Assistant In
General Of Volunteers with the rank Of LieuteDsn
CAPT Salisbury, Chief commissay, to be Lieutenant.
Capt Geo. o. Lyon, to be Major and A. d. C.
The fifth appointment Mr. Arnold Duon OF NewYork
TO be Captain and A. ID. Z.
CAPT Mm. g. lie Due formerly OF DsnEs Brigade, has
BE- en- assigned Gen Sgeps corps Chief QusIteInaser
Capt. 10 Due ranks a. Lieutenant Colonel
The promotions all well deserved, but il should
be added in reference to Col MeyseDburg's, that bis
faithful and efficient service under Gen. Sgel, both
al the West and in Virginia long since entitled him
TO the Official recognition OF his merits which is only
juet given.
