General Franz Sigel.

In the hard Tough, battle Of Pea Ridge,
Ger. Sigel gave another exhibition OF that
signal ability which characterized his move
ents at Carthage and Springfield. The
part he performed in these three battles
Las demonstrated TO Us, that he is, when in
battle, tie best strategist in the United
States. Nor are his talents confined TO sue
cessful maneuveis when engaged with the
enemy, but he took part in the Revolution
in ls4S, in his own country, and proved his
capacity to command large bodies of men
with the hi. hes, advantage.
Gen. Sigel was born at Baden, Germany
and was educated at the Military School Of
! Carlsruhe.
In lS47, he held the rank Of Chief-Ad-
jutant, and was then considered the best ar.
tillerist in Germany, and one Of the best
officers in the whole army.
| AT the commencement of the Revolution
in 1913, he joined it, and as consequence,
lost his commission. The revolutionary
party gave him service, and he almost i'm
mediately, was put in chief command Of
their armies. He at one time, with thirty
thousand men, fought eighty thousand, and
brought from the battlefield every piece OF
artillery whice he used in the engagement.
Peace soon left him wilhou. an army, and
he shortly afterwards emigrated to the Uni
ted States. Here he entered the Academy
of Monsieur Dulon, whose daughter he
afterwards married.
A few years ago, he was chosen professor
in Callege at ST. Louis, and in connection
with the branches of education ordinarily
in such Institutions, he instructed his pupils
in the art of War.
When the rebellion commenced here, he
was one of the first to enter the service in
favor of the General Government. Since
which time he has rendered il most valu-
able aid. His retreat, in the battle of Car
thage, was executed with the most perfect
success, and evinced military genius of the
highest order. Also, his movement to form
a junction with the main body of the arm y
at Pea Ridge, when his forces were attack
ed in the rear by an overwhelming force Of
the enemy, proves him to be a general Of
uncommon ability.
Gen. Curtis, in this engagement, also
evinced military genius of the highest char
acter. History will, doubtless, record that
battle as the best fought of any during the
war, so far. The enemy was twice the
number of the Federal forces, had great
advantages of position, and withal, conf
dent of success, was overwhelmed with de-
feat, and his columns broken and scattered
in every direction.
The patriotism exhibited by Gen. Sigel
and his countrymen, in this conflict with the
enemies of Republican Government, will
not be forgotten. They know well that
ours is the country of the German and
Irishman as well as the American. Their |
calor and deeds of self-sacrifcing devotion |
TO common cause, will form conspicuous |
part Of the history of "The Great Rebel
lion."- Weekly Union.

"OLp CLirT."-One Of the associates
of Parson Brownlow of Tennessee, both in
religion and patriotism,i is called odd Chr
The Nashville correspondent of the New
York Tribune gives this account of him -
"One of the most eminent and interest
ing actors throughout the Union drama in
Tennessee is "Old Gift" a Methodist cler-
syman, living near Chattanooga, well known
for integrity and righteousness OF purpose
throughout the eastern and middle districts.
From the very outbreak Of secessionism he
opposed it with Jealous vigor and con-
stancy. AT the Union convention, held at
Knoxville last summer, he made violent
speech in favor o. separation of the loyal
from the rebellious cebelliou counties, and
the formation of new state. This move
men. having failed, he went home and
commenced active defiance of the rebel
authorities by organizing the Unionists OF
his vicinity into companies and regiments.
AS late as in the early part of September,
there was an encampment of several hun
bred under his command in the mountains
of Bradley county, over which the stars
and stripes foated with sword underneath.
1t was afterwards broken up, but he man
aged to keep up and extend secret organ
ization, Notwithstanding the constant efforts
of the rebels TO capture him, and being du-
ly notified of the intentions of the bridge
burners, he had nearly thousand men as
sembled under his standard in the middle
of November. Seeing no prospect of I'm
ion support he again disbanded his force
Upon the news of the fall of Fort Donel-
son, he immediately gathered band of
several hundred with whom he made his
way to Gen. Carriers command. He is now
at the head of newly organized regiment"

AGRICULTURAL.
Raise More Horses.

AT no time within the ten last years has
there been so many inducements for the
breeders of horses to double their efforts TO
produce animals Of this class as now. There
are many reasons which have led us to
this conclusion. For some four or five
years past horses have generally brought
less prices in the market than for four or
five years before; and especially is this
true of medium sized animals, and conse-
Nuently less number than usual has been
raised for two or three years. During the
last ten months almost the entire country
has been ransacked for horses for the army,
and there being a stagnation in most kind
of business, and not the usual demand for
horses for other purposes, those who had
such as were not absolutely needed, have
sold them for army use, and the country is
now pretty well drained of good animals.
They have gone to the war and TO hard
fate, which but few of them viii survive
and find their way back again at the end
ct the war, which we pray God may speedi-
ly come. Some will be killed in battle,
while many more will die from i'll treat
meIt, neglect and exposure incident TO the
carp While the war, continues there will
Es constant demand upon the country for
achievements of horse flesh, and at its con-
clusion revival of all kinds of business
will speedily follow, and these useful ami
mails viii be called for to engage in the
peaceful pursuits of liie.-in any event
there must be demand much greater than
can be supplied, which must inevitably oper-
ate TO raise the price of all classes Of horses
much higher than has been known for sever
al years, or we entirely mistake the indi-
cations of the times. Wa can think of no
branch of stock husbandry that promises to
pay SO well for the mex. few years as the
raising of good horses-and no man can at
any time afford to raise poor ones. 1t costs
just as much to raise mean, worthless
horse as il does to produce a good one. A
good horse win always sell much more
readily in the market than poor creature
that is hardly worth stable room. No
br eeder, who has a reputation as such, will
produce inferior animals for the market, for
he not only has pride in the matter but
he knows full well the difference in the pro-
1T between them.
Horses for all purposes will be in active
demand for a few years TO come, while the
supply, for the reason given above, must be
comparatively small; and the demand and
supply always regulate the price of horses.
cattle, sheep and other animals, as well as
every kind of merchandise. No man who |
reflects upon the subject will fail to see at
once that the present is most favorable !
time to extend his means of raising good |
horses as source of remunerative profits.
No breeder will sell promising colts or
young horses at the present low prices, if he
believes our.theory in this matter to be cor
rect, because they will be likely to pay
much better profits if they are kept until
fully matured.- Stock Journal

GALLANT CoNDUcT OF MAJ. JAS. NJ.
PoMERoY.-Col. Mitchells report of the
engagement at Little Sante Fe. published
in Kansas paper, states how a company
of federal soldiers of the Kansas Fourth
Regiment, under Major James M. Pome-
roy, well known in Boston as photograph
ic reporter, captured gang of ruffians I'M
der the noted Quantrell. We make few
extracts:
" left camp about 6aa o'clock p. NJ. Of
the 22d inst, reached Little Santa Fe about
10 o'clock that night, and sent Major Pom
eroy about three miles from the town with
instructions to arrest one David Tate, whom
had reason to believe was connected with
Quantrell. Maj. Pomeroy had with him a
detachment of Company ID and Company
j., under command of Capt. Moore ard
Lieut.. Slower
When Maj. Pomeroy reached the house
he demanded entrance, and gun was i'm
medately fired through the door; he then
called them to surrender, and to send out
their women and children if they had any
in the house. After waiting some time
while shots were fired from the house, he
ordered volley to be fred into the house
The cries Of women were then heard when
he ordered the men 10 cease firing. The
women and children then came out, when
firing was resumed on both sides. Five of
the men then came out of one of the win
dows and surrendered. They stated to
Maj. Pomeroy that Quantrell was in the
house with twenty-six men. Maj. Pome-
roy then threatened 10 fire the house, and
upon their continued refusal to surrender
he ordered the house to be fred, and an at
tempt was made 10 Ere il, but without sue
cess.
Maj Pomeroy and Private Willis Of Co
ID, were at this time shot Mai. Pomeroy
becoming disabled, Capt. Moore took com
mand, and sent back to me requesting re.
Inducements, so as not to allow any Of The

to the house, and they still refusing to d,
so, he ordered the house TO be again set OF
