SIGEL AND BANKS.
From tho New Nation, June 4.

From tho New Nation, June 4.
The same mystery continues regarding
Sigel. An officer attacked to Sigel's army
has written US letter containing state
mepts of so graves character that We are not
inclined to publish it. tits General Si-
gel'sduty to state the truth, and not allow
himself to be sacrificed. There are cases
in which silence and self-denial exceed
the limits of patriotism. p ot .ut
Banks, we learn, has made his escape
from Alexandria and returned to New
Orleans, where he will continue his impor.
tant duties. Lincoln aud Seward have need
of him in the coming election. The re
membrance of his services in the matters
of reconstruction and serfage outweigh the
disasters caused by him and through which
the nation alone suffers. Candy is simply
a bone cast to the people to appease them
In reality, nothing has beon changed in the
Cult Department, except the strength Of
the army, which numbered thirty-four
thousand men when Banks marched it from
Alexandria to Pleasant Hill We would
call the attention of our German citizens
in especial to the difference in the course
pursued by the Government with regard to
Banks and its conduct toward Sigel. The
former has invariably been beaten, but he
is an American and supporter of the Ad-
ministration. The latter saved our army
both at Pea Ridge and during Pope's re-
treat, by his bravery and skill but he is a
German and opposed to the Administra
ton, hence the whole pack Of cowardly
ours, with Haleck at their head, have set
upon him and torn his glorious reputation
to pieces, charging him with cowardice,
but at a safe distance, for despite his great
good nature they know that the little man
is able to chastiss them according to their
deserts 1t is time that such scandalous
injustice should cease; it is time that the
Know Nothing spirit (the sublimely true
expression of the intellect allotted to q
most appositcly named party should be
made nolens 0oleas to respect all foreigners
who have devoted their intelligence, their
energy, aud their military knowledge to the
service of the country.
In sense and justice, what is an Ameri"
can what is American nationality z The
last vestige Of native Americans are to be
found far in the West among the remnants
of Indian tribes, which our ancestors drove
back year after year to make room for the
invading food of emigrants from Europe.
The Richmond Examiner Of late date,
says" Considering the whole facts, we
think the time has come when confederates
may exchange congratulations. No reflect
ing man can doubt that the general situation
is rery much Improved since the day 'oten
Grant crossed The Rapidan and Butler landed
at Bermuda Hundred" :"
At the risk Of being set down as copper
heads and rebels, we would state that our
convictions correspond precisely to the
above. sF.

"A short time ago Major q. w. Murphy,
of the 9Th Missouri Cavalry, took the spotr
ted fever at Yellville, Arkansas, and giving
no signs of life for several days, the sur
geon pronounced him dead. Major Plum,
commander Of the regiment, in the absence

nouncing the demise of Major Murphy, and
speaking of him in very complimentary
terms. A brother of Major Murphy, living
in North Missouri, hearing of his death,
wentto Yeliville to have the body embalmed
and conveyed to his friends The brother
received the body, placed it in coffin, aud
started home with it. After he had pro-
ceeded some distance on the road, Msjor
Murphy revived and asked the meaning of
the strange proceeding. His brother in-
formed him that he was being taken home
for burial, aud showed him the order of Ma
