Gen. SigeI and Our LegisIature.-Mr.
Jussen, in the Assembly, on Wednesday of last
week, introduced the following Resolutions which
he supported in an able and eloquent speech of
some length:
Resolced, by the assembly. the Senate Concur
rang, That the people of the State of Wisconsin
nave received the intelligence of the resignation of
Brigadier General Franz Sigel with unfeigned Dr.
row and regret.
ResOlued, That whom Missouri was bleeding un.
der the lash of infatuated traitors when armed reb
els threatened TO monopoliZe it's soil when many of
its citizens knew other mode to avenge the fall
Of Sumpter, no other remedy to preserve this I'm
ion than armed neutrality, Franz Sigel was found
foremost in the bloody strife for human liberty and
National existence, and his name as if by magic,
gathered the patriotic Germans Of Missouri around
their cOuntry's standard.
Resolred, That at the memorable battle of Car
thage, by retreat, mastery in design, and une-
qualled as to the success of its execution, General
Slgel gained brighter military tame than mere
bloodless victory could have achieved
ReSOlced, That his strict and exclusive attention
to military duties, and the entire omission on his
rart, to issue political procldmations are g. j.
dence of peculiar mOdesty and unusual good sense.
ReSoIved That the withdrawal of the German
Regiments originally assigned to the command of
General Sigel, and the consequent gradual reduc-
tIon OF his forces, are a singular and unparalleled
appreciation and reward of a soldiers meritorious
conduct; and that the reported intrigues which &C
1omplshed the resignation of so gallant and tai
ented general, are disgrace to the men who
made use of them for SO base purpose.
R9S0t0ed, That the people of the State of Wis
cousin would hail the intelligence of the non ac.
ceptance of Gen. Sigels resignation with 10Y and
abstraction, and would consider it but Just trib-
ute to his merit as an officer if he should beas-
signed more important command!than he has vet
held in the service of his country.
ReSotced, That the Governor be requested to for
zy.4r1 AFF 6n
p esident of the United States to each of our Sen
ators and Representatives in Congress, and to
Franz Sigel, the hero of Carthage.
After pretty full discussion, which was parta
ken in by Messrs Jussen, Hoehinger and others
in favor of, and Messrs. Palmer, CT Milwaukee
Mills, Stowel and others, against the resolutions
they were finally adopted with some slight amend
ments The Fifth Resolution was SO amended as
to read that if Gen Sigels resignation was effected
byintrigue then such intrigue is a disgrace tC
those who prectised it,
Mr.. Palmer, of Milwaukee, the Democratic can
ddate for Speaker. was the principal opponent O
these resolutions, which we look upon in the ligh
of only AUST and merited recognition Of the really
mendation that he be re-instated in his command
vi prohioteu 10 d MAJOR Generalsnlp we know
that ever since this wicked Rebellion broke out
Gen. Sigel has been found in the front rank of oul
army in Missouri, fighting the Rebels and Seces
sionists of that State, with uniform success thai
has characterized no other officer. He has shown
superior military abilities in many instances, while
his courage and loyalty to tie Union have never
been doubted.
af he of 20 ina
would be hailed by the whole people of the North
west, as proper acknowledgement of his nserto
rious services, and as giving whatever arm of the
service he was attached to, q skillful, energetic
and successful commander
