sion -
Your letters to the Hon. A. Conkng and to the other
honorable members Of Congress had the desired effect in
securing for most cordial and friendly welcome. To
day we honored through the introduction Of F. A.

You would confer great obligation upon us, and, no
Doubt upon every patriot OF German birth in New
York. by handing the following report to the various
daily papers.
with sentiments Of profound esteem,
FREDERICK KAPP
WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1862
The undersigned committee, appointed by the sgel
meetings held the 10th and 18th instant in New
York and Brooklyn in order to present the unanimously
accepted resolutions to his Excelency the President
Abraham Lincoln, hereby respectfully report-lhat his
Exceency the President has honored this morning by
audience and after the reading and of the
resolutions we have received the following reply
Neither the original resignation OF General Sigel,
any official despatch in regard 10 it, has yet been
ceived by President from the Commander Chief Of
the army in Missouri, and all the information the Pres
dent so far in possession Of has been the
daily journals However, being dcsirous to retain
in the service of the United States eminent officer
as General Sge whom none could esteem higher than
his Excelency did, he, the President, had already be-
fore being informed OF the petitions and resolutions OF
the adopted citizens of German brih instituted inquiries
with the view to redress any wrong which may have
been done to General Sigel; at the time his Excel
lency the President reassured US of his determination
that while he should decline the acceptance Of General
Sgels resignation he intended to give him a command
in out of Missouri in accordance with his established
abilities The interest If the service did not demand at
present addition 10 the number Of major generals of
the army but as soon such necessity should exist
that tho claims of General Sge should be considered
among the first in order.
The President further remakcd that Franz Sgel
had been appointed Brigadicr General nothing had
transped to diminish his Exceencys exalted opinion Of
the eminent talents and capabilities of Gen. Sigel but
On the contrary all ascertained facts had combined TO
confirm the same in every manner possible.
His Excelency the President took further occasion to
express his sincere satisfaction with the patriotism
shown by the adopted citizens Of German BIRTH during
this unholy rebellion, and particularly acknowledged the
well known and mertorous of General Franz
Sigei. FRIEDRICH KAPP,

MOVEMENTS OF CAssIUs NJ. CLAY.-There
will be shade Of disappointment felt by those
who hoped that the return of Cassius NJ Clay
would add to our army live, fighting general,
when they learn that, instead of entering the
military service, he is about to resume his
position as minister to the court of st. Peters
burg. Probably Mr.. Clay, whose opinions on
the subject of emancipation are so well known
is convinced that the recent decision of presi-
dent Lincoln and the present policy Of the
government would debar him from carrying
out his own views, and would render his mill
tary system as obnoxious to the government
as was that of Fremont. He is personally
popular with the Gar Alexander, and at the
court of Russia can, under present circum-
stances, do better service to his country than
in the field.
Mr.. Clay will return to Russia about the
first of October. He has been earnestly in
vietd to give public expression OF his views
on the present crisis, and will speak in this
city on Thursday or Friday of this week.
Mr. Cameron has already notified the govern
ment of his desire to leave Russia, and, in
deed, it is well known that he only intended
to fill the position of United States minister
OF ST. Petersburg for a few months, the APP
pointment having been offered and accepted
as a slave for the pain of his removal from
the cabinet.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE quota of this
state under draft is SO, 705 men, of whom 49,
51S are to be raised in the city and 1924 in
Brooklyn. A similar number (59,7051 have
already been raised in the state by volunteer
ing under the July call.
BosToN, Aug. 1.-THE leading business
of Boston and Massachusetts the present
week is enlisting soldiers, and the prospect is
so highly encouraging that no resort to draft
will be necessary. Among the markedevents
to-day was the opening of the grounds of the
Old South Church, held especially sacred to
revolutionary memories. Thousands of peo-
pie gathered, and speeches were made by
mayor Wightman, Hon. S. H. Valley, and
others. Tents have been pitched in State,
Court, and other streets, as headquarters for
enlisting. Enthusiastic unanlmity and deter
mination pervade all classes to voluntarily fill
up the full quota of Massachusetts.
ALBANY, Aug. lit is understood that in
the orders for drafting the nine months men
there is no authority to accept volunteers, but
that the provisions of the draft must be car
ried out.

18th and there are indications of surplus

nrohablv one of the hardest contested fights in
Virginia, lasting until dark, when our forces
retired from the field, taking a new position
beyond the reach of the enemy's guns, which
were in an advantageous position upon the
heights.
Our infantry were badly cut up. We lost
two guns. The enemy's loss was certainly
greater than ours, as their dense columns
were frequently riddled by our artillerists.
We took many prisoners.

in attendance on the arrival of the trains, and
the sufferers were speedily removed, many of
them to the public houses.

consequently required to allow such carriers
to pass freely.
