Speech Of Gen. Sigel.

Frans Sigel made speech, Of Which The fol
lowing is summary.
He alluded, in commencing, to the reason
which brought him ,h,re to speak in favor .
the great cause for which all should fight, ant
which all should defend. Tho lime has como
when all must stand up in defence Of the ole
flag of the country. When the Rebellion broke
out the whole Of the region west of the Miss
ssippi and south Of the northern boundary Of
Missouri was 10 favor OF the South. But the
brave Lyon showed the Secessionsts his teeth,
and they succumcd. Tho same state of affairs
was presented east of the Father of Waters
/ Kentucky and Tennessee were ruled by the
Shareholders. 81. Louis and Washington formed
the centcrs Of the Rebels
The dark times have changed, Tho Miss.
ourians have witnessed the clearing out ol
Price, who fed to the Red River for safety
Kentucky and Tcnness o are free from the
touch of the Rebels. Washington, Baltimore
and st. Louis are all free cities. The whole
Mississippi is open, and there will soon be
freedom in Charleston. The rebellion must
yield, because the force opposed to is too great
aud powerful for the South to contend with il
The men who fought at Gettysburg and
Chattanooga will fight yet as nobly, and
drive rack the Rebels from the front Of the
present Rebel lines, with Gill,nore's men will
soon enter Charleston, and liberatc the great
besieging army which now is in front of that
city, and the death blow will be given to dis.
union in South Carolina.
There is party at the North who view the
war with indltf,r nee. They insist that the
] hrou he MI
allegiance thew owe 10 the country, they would
call on Louis Napoleon aHd Englsnd TO stay
the Struggle 10y foreign inttveption. Where
is the line Of division between the two sections
that these men would create by their peace
schemes? l. il the Cumberland Valley Rose.
