Everybody wants peace. Nearly every one
has faith in the ability Of the Nation to put
down the Rebellion with its present mans

Every one can see that, if the Rebellion were

on the means thus contributed
Bear in mind that we have not our Noun'
teers to raise-they are nearly all In the hcia
already. We have bought cur Arms. made up
our Clothing, built our Vessels, purchased our
Horses, and made ready for fighting in every
wav. Within a few weeks, the terms Of SER
vice of the rebel soldiers generally expire. Ii
we cannot beat them before the sickly season
sets in at the South, the prospect OF our ever
doing it will be poor one. Let US put up
Two Hundred Millions in cash-half OF 1t to
pay Off the floating debt and the residue to be
used in straightforward, immediate fighting
and we can know to a certainty before tho LIST
of May whether the Rebellion is to be put
down or to triumph. And if it shall at any
time become clear that it is not to be put
down. every drop of blood shed in the pro-
longation of the contest thereafter will be
murder.
We firmly believe that our People, properly
appealed to, with every Postmaster made an
agent TO receive and forward subscriptions,
would Gil up a Patriotic Loan of Two Hundred
Millions wberewith to finish the war. And We
believe further that if such loan would not
enable our Generals to beat the rebels, there
would be no use in putting Five Hundred
Millions more on the back Of it. If we are

GEN. eaGEL's EEssGNATEoN.

At last we have the facts conceruiog the 70.
siguatiou of Gen. Sgel. We were first It'd
that be had resigned; since then We have been
clearly informed, through one source And an.
other, that be had not resigned, that be bad
recOnsidered bis determination, and tbat he wS
to be promoted to an important position. The
truth Is, no has resigned, aud he has not re.
considered his resignation.
Gen. Sigel was not DESTROYS Of lcayicg the
service, is not now DESTROYS of doing so. lie
feels that he has been forced out Of II BY
treatment which no one could submit TO. Ills
communications to headquarters we're fecei''d
with utter neglect; regiments which be en
pressly organized or caused 10 be organized
for service under him, were arbitrarily diverted
from him. and officers have been appointed d
such regiments without consulting bin a. all;
the command Of the forces at Rcila was given
to him, and when he was organizing and pre-
narinq his men for the field, he was suddenly
superseded by Gen. Curtis. He ut once sent 10
his resignation. Shortly after he told Gen.
Haeck that while his resignation Vas pending
he was willing to retain h!s position, Tor Tie
sake OF the Union cause. Gen. HallecA
replied that he was happy to learn ira. Zen.
Sige "yished to remain in command Of tho
(" Division" From that tho statement went
abroad that he had no intention OF leaving the
service. As soon as be heard this, ne corrected
the mistake, in letter ne sent to Gen. Hal
leck. This letter, the latter states ne never
received. Gen. Sigel, moreover, learned ut the
same time that Gen. Halleck had neglected to
forward TO Washington any Of tue papers in
the case. This singular neglect sufficiently ex
plains the remark of President Lincoln, that
be had no information on The matter eScep.
what he obtaired from the newspapers. Gen.
Sigel requested Gen. Halleck to send his resig.
nation at once to Washington; and then, on
the 9th, returned to his subordinate po'ito'
under Gen. Curtis, at Rolla, to await the &C.
ton of the War Department.
The reasons which have led to the treatment
of Gen. Sige as referred to above have lot
transpired. 1t is TO be hoped, for the credit
of humanity and of the service, Tat petty
vanity has not been at the bottom OF the aiiar
IL is clear that Gen. Sigel is an officer OF great
ability. possessing just such qualities as are
wanted in our army. lie has one marked Pc
cularity: when he moves against the enemy
he is apt to hurt somebody; when he strikes
he bits something, and does not beat the air
and then blow trumpets over bis own proves
The rebels dread him; the people who Know
him have unbounded confidence in hiIn, aad
his soldiers follow him with enthusiasm. Are
these valid reasons why be should be driven to
resign his command

FVyANCE-WAR,

Ia our Judgment, this Republic is not nearly
so deficient in pecuniary resources as in states
men-not so lacking in means as in faith, and
in that wherein faith may be safely reposed
If it were this day believed that u Napoleon
were welding the Military resources of The
Union mind, we do not say that there is not !,
and that his counsels were not marred by
treason, ali the money our Government wants
would be promptly supplied
What we need is a general conviction that
the War is near its end. We believe it is,
and are certain that it ought to be.
We have now not less than Half a Million
Men under arms. Mott Of them have been IN
camp for the last four to eight months. And
they have shown at Carthage Wilson's Creek,
Lexington. Belmont, Balls Bluff Port Royal,
Dranesyille, and Mill Spring, that they will not
only stand fire, but that most Of them will
fight like heroes.
When this struggle commenced, we needed
Arms, Munitions, Clothing, Gunboats-in fact,
everything. We now have them all. Ii is
hardly probable that our superiority in the
mG.erid of war will be greater in tho future
than it nOw is.
All The world is naturally anxious that we
should 60 into this war in earnest and make
an end of il. Our Volunteers are eager TO
tight it out, and be at liberty TO go home to
heir families and their business. And we be-
ieye our Government and our leaders are In
ent on speedy and decisive fighting.
But the Treasury is embarrassed, just when
{ should not be, and our Legislators are medi-
tating the desperate resort of making irredeeIn-
able paper q legal tender. II that must be, IL
must; thsre are worse things than depre.

Messrs. Bronson, Dodge, and Roosevelt
who have been appointed by the President Al
lotment Commissioners for the troops of thc
State of New-York, have visited some Cit
regiments, and have thus accomplished abou
half of their task. They have succeeded IN ob
tanning from the majority Of the soldiers yery
large allotments from their pay for tbs beneL'
OF their families at home; or, in case of me;
who have no families for deposit in some good
Savings Bank. These allotments, once agreed
upon by the men, are entered upon the reg
mental muster.rolls. and cannot be changes
afterward, except IN cases Of absolute nccs'
sity, to be certified to BY the Colonel sore
ten DAYS or more before payday. The moDej
thus allotted is forwarded by the soldiers them
selves in the form of draft on the Sao'
Treasury in this city, by mail, to the parry
for whom it is intended. No part OF it passes
through the hands of any banker, or muncipa'
or other agent.
This system appears to be at once sac
simple. economical, and efficient. We shcaA
add that the gentlemen who have undertake.
the duty of procuring these aliotments' y"
