Generals Sigel and Mcdowell.

The Washington National Republican
has the following curious item in regard to
SATURDAYS battle, which, taken in connec-
ton with an article from the New York
Democrat, gives coloring of truth to the
rumor of General Sigels shooting General
Mcdowell on the battlefield.
The battle, it is said, was planned and
commanded on our part, for the greater
portion of the time, by General Sigel, who
gave orders to our forces to hold their posi-
ton and await an attack by the enemy,
supposed to be jackson; instead Of his,
General INcDopeU, who holds the extreme
left, advanced and attacked Longstreefs
d;rision ON the enemy's right. He was met
bv terrible fire from the rebels, during
which General Slocum's brigade was teri
bly, cut up, and Mcdowell was forced to
olive vay. He was reinforced by portion
Of Fitz John Porter's division, and another
attack was made on the assailants, when
thew we're in turn driven back to their orr
ginal position.
The New York Democrat says Yester-
day a gentleman, just arrived from the
battlefield, gave us the following e.piana-
ton of the rumor of a shooting affray be-
tween Generals Sigel and Mcdowell:
"Sigel had taken numerous prisoners
and commanded them to be sent to the rear
of the army, to be transported to Washing
ton. The way led through MeDowelrs
camp, 'cho refused to let the prisoners and
their escort pass. Gen. Sigel thereupon
instructed the Colonel of the escort to shoot
Mcdowell, if the latter refused him passage
through his camp again. Mcdowell did

so, but submitted when the Colonel told
him what he had been Instructed to do by
General Sigel. But in the marching back
wards aad forwards @ost ef the prisoners
seem to have escaped"
We give this explanation as We have
received it. aad do aot consider the facts at
all impossible. We have repeatedly said
that jealousy was the greatest drawback to
the harn onious cooperation Of our Gen
erals. 1t is very evident that Sigel is re-
garded With particular Jealousy. The cam
paign is evidently not carried on according to
his views, and as he does not Disguise it, be
is persecated with particular enmity. s

The Rebels Cross the Potomac.

From one of the Times correspondents
who has just returned from Poolsville, we
learn that on Tuesday night the rebels
commenced to cross with cavalry at or near
the mouth of the Monocacy. They brought
over two regiments of cavalry and threw
across pontcon bridge, and crossed with
artillery and threw out pickets in the
direction Of Poolsville. On Friday, about
l o'clock, column of infantry and artil-
lery commenced to cross. They were cross
ing in three places besides the bridge the
water being up to mans waist. No
resistance was offered to their crossing.
Some cavalry who were watching them were
attacked and chased to Poolsyille.
There the houses were closed and the
streets blockaded by the citizens The
farmers fred upon our flying cavalry as
they passed. About dusk Gen. Lee rode
into Poolsville at the head of four regiments
Of infantry, guided by farmer who bad
professedly been Union man. Their
infantry went off to the left toward Fred
erick. Gems. Lee, hide, Stuart and Fitz-
hugh Lee are with the men, Their wagon
trains were crossing on Saturday and Sun
day morning. The farmers are bringing
in hay, and provisions of all kinds and
giving them away. There is not loyal
man with one or two exceptions there.
Women received them with flags and tokens
of joy.
SUNDAY, P. M.-The following account
has just been received from the Upper
Potomac: The rebel forces in the neighbor-
hood Of Jamestown and Clarksburg are
estimated at 5000, and composed entirely
of cavalry. A body of about 1900 crossed
the river last night at Whites Ferry, and
are supposed to be en- route to Frederick
Our forces hold the bridge across Senaca
creek, which was not injured by the rebels
in their recent dash on Jamestown. It has
been ascertained that jackson crossed the
Potomac opposite the north mouth of the
Monocacy, and passed along the bank of
the stream to Frederick.

the South showed her sense offorbearauce
and humanity BY initiating her perfidious
friends in Great Britain, aud letting loose
nEainst us the fierce Indians of the Western
wilds.
And all this was done of malice afore-
thought. Thirty years ago she resolved on
what she is now doing, and prepared for 1t
by stealing our cannon and munitions of
war, and storing them within her own ter
titory, by the hands of her peEjured Secre-
taries, whom the NOrtherners unsuspect-
ingly trusted.
But why did we not let them keep what
they had stolen, and go their way in peace?
Precisely because such n course would
bring no peace. 1t would not save the Un.
ion which made us happy at home and hon
ed, or feared, abroad. It would lead to
iuterminable border warfare. II would set
up precedents which State after State,
North as well as South, and perhaps por-
tions of States, would initiate, and thus
would, on all sides, the "treason against
human hope be cOnsummated."
"But if you do this, you will have civil
war; We know it; be the guilt on their
heads who commenced it, History attests
that the price of a nations exemption from
tyranny, of her greatness, OF her ransom of
national and individual sins, and immuni.
" from future suffering ana DANGER IS
blood. "Without the shedding of blood
there is no remission" 1t is terrible
law, or terrible fact, but such it is, and
we must, as other nations, who would not
be enslaved, have done, accept it. The
moment has come to test mems SOULS
Fortitude, not poltroony, and cowardice, is
virtue. Our revolutionary fathers show
ed us how to suffer and to bleed to conquer
the liberty which they bequeathed US, and
which we have enjoyed as never nation en-
joyed before for four score years. Let
those who come after us have cause to
bless our memories as we bless the mem
ory of those who have preceded us.
