Gen. Sigel on the War.

The brave General Sigel addressed Q
large Union meeting in Philadelphia on
Wednesday evening. In the course OF
his remarks he said:
There is party at the North who view
the war with Indifference. They insist
thst the North brought on the war, and,
forgetting the allegiance they owe to the
country, they would call on Louis Napo-
leon and England TO stay the struggle by
foreign intervention. Where is the line
Of division between the two sections that
these men would create by their peace
schemes? Is it the Cumberland valley?
Rosecrans crossed that. Is it the Alle-
ghanies? The mountain SUBMITS offer no
geographical boundary. Can il be by ar
ti6cia. breastworks, far reaching along the
border of the sections? No, these bound.
aries will not do. They are all worthless.
The only boundaries this country can re-
cognize are the two oceans and the Gulf
Of Mexico, and between these lines the
Union mus, be one and undivided.

does all il can to weaken the Administra-
ton, that party is not loyal. If demoral.
ization is infused into the ranks OF an ar
my, that nrmy's efficiency is ruined. and
if the hearts of the people are drawn away
from the Government, it is open treason.
The true war.cry Of the people should be

it should be--6iIed with volunteers, and
all the people who suppor. the authority

and present very different aspect OF mat
ters from that usually given:
Il have seen President Juarez and his sur.
rouDdngs at San Luis Potosi, tho present
seat of the Government of the Republic.
The President and his officials act in har.
mony. They are full of courage aud hopo
and erertiug themselves with great energy
and wisdom ia organizing a force to resist
the Fronch.
1T is u great mistake to believe that even
a fractional part of tho Mexican people, out
side the city OF Mexico, hold any sympathy
with the French, or feel disposition to tol.
crate them in the country under any cir
cumstances. On the contrary, there is a
deep and deadly hatred felt toward the 10
vaders, in all The outlying States. 1t may
be smothered for the moment but it smoui-
ders in one etornal, universal glow, and it
will burst forth here, there, everywhere, with
time and opportunity.
1T is also great mistake to suppose that
tho Mcxcans are not able and do not in.
tend to Oter any effectual resistance to the
French.
AS have stated, tho Juarez Government
at San Luis Potosi is actively engaged in
organizing its forces, with the full dotermi-

A POPULAR DANISH SvoRY.-In the vii
lage Of Edderup, iu Fuen, there lived A
very wealthy farmer. who had to go one
day 10 Assens with load Of barley; SC
one Of his neighbors, a co,tager, asked
leave TO 60 along with him for the sake ol
fetching home some goods in the empty
cart. The farmer had no objection, SO
the cottager followed the cart on foot, and
as it was very hot day. he pulled off
his worsted stockings and wooden shoes
and stuffed them under the barley in the
back part OF the cart. 1t happened to be
Sunday, and they had 10 pass close BY a
church on the roadside. The man had
got little way behind the cart, so he
could hear that the minister was in the
pulp;l. 1t struck him that as the farmer
was driving very slow, he might as well
turn in and hear bit OF the sermon, he
could soon make up TO the cart again.
He did no. like 10 go SO far into the
church that the minister could see him,
SO he stood inside the door. The Cos
pei for that day was about the rich man
and the beggar. Just as the traveller en-.
tered the church the minister shouted
out, "But what became Of the rich mani"
The Edderup man thought the minister
was speaking to him, SO be stepped for
ward and said. "He drove on to Assens
with load Of barley" MOI" Numbered
the minister, she went to hell.'' "Mercy
on us!" cried the other, running out Of
the church, "then must look after my
shoes and stockings!"
