General Curtis Oh the War.

General Curtis, in a letter to his friends
in KeOkuk, Iowa, says:
Break down the rebel armies, confiscate
the property of their supporters, deprive
the rebels of their stores and their sub
stance, PROSTATE foes and elevate friends !;
and the Union men in thousands, who now
tremble in the presence of the apprehen-
sion of its return, will proclaim their devo-
ton to our government and unite with US
heartily in restoring peace and prosperity
to our once happy country.
l have campaigned through three of the
so-called Confederate States, and express
to you my observations and convictions.
The republic cannot be severed. There is
no geographical, moral Or political line on
which to divide No foreign power could
prescribe one that would satisfy either
party.
We have embarked in death struggle,
and have no alternative but to steadfastly
press forward the engines Of war and all
honorable disturbing elements till rebel
lion, weary and worn out and overpowered,
abandons its wicked designs and yields to
the constitution and the laws.
Bands of robbers, such as we see in Mis-
souri, and elsewhere, will survive the war,
and society will for long time be pestered
with thieves and Migrants who only carry
on their raids for plumber but local organ
izations will ultimately stife such elements
and peace and security will gradually re-
turn

The SigeI Canard.

AS we had supposed, the story about
Gen. Sigel having requested to be relieved
of his command, is falsehOod gotten up
by some INSCRIPTIONS scamp, who ought to
be in Fort Lafayette. Gen. Sigel, we learn,
has got, or is getting, all the troops he is
entitled to, and there has neither been a
disposition on the part of Gen. Halleck to
snub him, nor does Gen. Sigel feel himself
sorely aggrieved, as alleged, and even if he
did feel SO, he is too faithful soldier to go
about among the newspaper reporters to get
them to ventilate his grievances.
The coinage of this Sigel story is but
part and parcel of the tricks and intrigues
of certain political and newspaper mounte-
banks, who are just now engaged in the
patriotic and manful business of sowing the
seeds of jealousy and division in the army
of the Union. They selected Sigel to make
an imaginary martyr of, in order to intiu-
ence the Germans of the North into an
opposition to the Administration, and to
make political capital for seditious fac
ton; but the contemplate trick will fail.

Suspected Rebel Movement.

The Pittsburg Pa.) Gazette Of Friday,
has an article indicating that the people in
that quarter really deem themselves in
danger of formidable rebel invasion. 1t
says:
We have it from authority perfectly in
dubitable, that the rebel forces on the Kan
awha confidently expected, some ten days
ago, to be in possession of Wheeling in a
short time. So sure were they of this,
that arrangements were made for meetings
between the rebel officers and their fami-
lies at Wheeling hotels, when that event
should take place. We were shown a let
ter this morning to this effect.
The danger is more imminent than most
people imagine. Large rebel forces are
now in Southwestern Virginia, which,
from all we can gather, are concentrating
and moving northward. Lee and Jackson
are somewhere along the POtouIac, or in
the valley west of Winchester-for it is
said they are not fortifying that town.
Bragg, in Kentucky, slipped past Buell.,
and is pushing eastward. All these things
indicate a concentration Of rebel forces
somewhere.
We are not inclined to be alarmists but
it is possible that storm may be gather
ing in our near southwest horizon, the
bursting Of which may cause us to see
some of the alarms of war We ought to
be ready.

GEN.ELEE'S ARMY RETREATKNG.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5-It is confidently
ascribed that Lee and his army are in full
retreat
The reports that the sick and wounded,
together with their cannon and stores,
have been sent up the valley are confirm
ed by SO many sources that there can be
little doubt but they are correct.
The general report is that the rebels will
fall back on Gordonsville and the line of
the Rapidan River, where they can be in
full communication with Richmond.
From the Washington Star Oct 1.
Our information from General McClel
lan's army is up to yesterday afternoon,
when he was busy as ever since his late en-
gagements, in getting his new troops into
proper conditional work of some time,
as experience has invariably proved. Ne
vertheless he is accomplishing it satisfacto-
rily and with dispatch.
Since his retreat into Virginia, Lee has
undoubtedly received reinforcements to the
extent of between thirty and forty thous-
and men, all conscripts, with very few ex-
ceptions. Yet his army, we believe, is not
stronger to-day than it was Immediately
after the battle of Antietam, owing to its
large number of deserters from among the
conscripts, who go off daily in bodies OF
twenty, fifty, or hundred, and wander
over the country in the rear.
Lee is still conscripting in the country
around him with remorseless energy, seiz-
ing all under forty-fve who fall within his
reach, and taking even citizens walking in
the streets accompanied by their wives and
children. The presence Of troops so OBJ
tanned in his ranks, in so much larger num-
bers than before, can hardly fail to weaken
the efficiency of his veteran and willing
men greatly in the next series of engage
ments, which, it is believed in our army,
can hardly be postponed more than ten
days longer, unless Lees army dissolves OF
its own accord before that time, through
assertions, lack of clothing, scarcity OF
provisions, &C.. the country within reach
of his commissaries and quartermasters
having already been cleaned almost as bare
as the palm Of ones hand to clothe and
feed his army.
