Of the war made 4 lengthy report re-
garling he treatment by the rebels At
Manassas at the remains OF officers and

The Genius of Efgel.

Among the few prominent American mil
itary men who have won distinguished hon
ers by their skill and bravery in the pres
ent war against rebellion, the name that
stands above them all peerless star whose
lustor will be immortal in our annals, is
General Franz Sigel The battles in which
he has been engaged amid circumstances
varying and peculiar, the large preronder-
ance of numbers aganit him, the long and
rapid marches he has made, his mastery
retreats at Carthage and Pea Ridge each
ending with victory against three fold num-
bers, the wonderful GOODNESS and daring
with which he inspires his soldiers, the
precision and celebrity of his movements
amid furious storms of rifle and cannon
balls to win sure victory from the grasp of
defeat where most commanders would have
regarded farther effort hopeless, furnish an
aggregate of data from which it is most
conclusively evident that he possesses the
bravery, military genius and accomplish
meDts and executive force which makes
the great commander. 1t is often that
general gains single battle by the aid of
faVoring circumstances which gives him
temporary reputation Of a high character
when after trials and results proves him to
possess no more than ordinrry capacity
But Sigel has been tried in so many ways,
meeting perils and difficulties in numerous
and varying forms, that the certainty of
his ability has been demonstrated beyond
controversy. His actions and achievements
read like stirring pages of heroic romance.

Sunset and Death.

If We regard the world of nature as

gles-an exponent and Interpreters of the
world OF spirits-no symbol surely is more
striking and appropriate than SUNSET

goes down, we have a permanent type and
enduring parable of the close of lie, as

Few can have beheld gorgeous SUM-
set without the same suggestive associa-

the writer ever witnessed in nature was

capaclous shades of light and shadog-at

masses obscuring its giant form. AS eve

now became mass of delicately flushed
crimson. Anon. the shadows Of NIGHT
cropt up the valley, until nothing but the
summit OF the mountain retains the hectic
glow of expireing life-a coronal of evan.
eseent glory. This, too, in its turn, slow.
ly and impressively passed away. The
flaming sun of that afternoon sank behind
the opposite range of Alps, and the col
lossal mass in trent, which few minutes
before had lapsed into cold grey, as if
it had assumed robes of sackclotk and
ashes in brightness of life. The fellow
