GENERAL SIGEL.-We wish to ex-
press our hearty appreciation of the
appointment of Geneal Sigel, by the
President, to the command of the De-
partment of West Virginia. Apart
from the consideration that General
Sigel has proved himslf a good sol
der in every position in which he has
been tried, and that there is thus a
fair probability of military affairs in
West Virginia being better managed
than they have been Of late, we rejoi-
ce that the President has at last as
serted his prerogative as Commander
-in-Chief of the Army by disregar-
ding the opposition of General Hal
leck s to the hero Of Carthage, Spring
field and Pea Ridge. To those who
are at all convcrsant with the inside
history of the war, it is well known
that the prime cause of this opposi-
tion has its root in some unfayorable
criticisms by Gen. Sigel upon Gen.
Hallcck's administratonof the De
partment of the West. This is the
reason why the brave and patriotic
Sigel has been kept for more than
year without command COM
mensurate with his rank and his
valuable services to the country
His appointment by the President,
over the head of General Hallcck,
to the command of an important
Department is therefore not only an
act of justice to true soldier, but it
is also significant of the President 5 in
tentionto make General IIallcck yield
his personal likes and dislikes in the
future to the good Of the cause in

ALLEGHENY CRY, PA. !
March 5. 1864. {

/ -1hi III N~~~' J
Mesws. Eds.-As your paper is fire.
quent as we'll as most welcome visitor to
our "Smoky Town." have chosen it pan
excellence, (Which trust by the way you
will consider complimentary to insert a
short article-descriptive to some extent,
of pleasant social party, had in ALE
gheny, on Thursday evening last. By
invitation of our clever, good-looking
friend, Captain Wilson, the whole Pro
'vost Marshal party, consisting of Captain
Kirker, Commissioner Copley, DIR. Perch
ment, and the entire body of clerks and
employees, together with several other
friends, partook of most..sumptuous sup
per, gotten up in such a'style as kreider
Blair knows how. The whole affair, was
what might be called military partaace,
complete success. "a feast of reason,
and flow of SOUL it was indeed, without
however, the usual whiskey flow, which
on the present occasion, / am glad to say,
was altogether dispensed with.
Father Copley presided with his usual
grace and dignity, cvincing at the same
time, by occasional cutes, that his spirit
was as youthful, and that he was as fond
of joke, as the rest Of us. By the ap-
pearancc of the dishes after supper, no
argument appeared necessary, to convince
any one that the 'vittles," especially the
oyster part, were fully appreciated, a
winding up, accompaniment in the way Of
some fine Havanas, was enjoyed. After
the boards was cleared, some of the party
were called upon and favored us with
quite a number of songs, both patriotic
and amusing A vote being called for
our next President, the Glthful "Abrana"
was nominated by acclamation. 1t is al
most needless for me to remark, that our
whole party, including quite number of
young andsn veterans were hearty in
their approval of the efforts being put
forth to squolch out the slavery rebellion.
anumber Of good jokes were cracked at
the expense of some would be loyalists--
whose acts of prudence have been some
what dubous-but who seem growing
pcnitent just at the present, and seem con
siderably scared about the draft, but like
the person in the Wolf story, they are more
scared than hurt The draft, we are glad
to say, has been postponed indefinitely.
But to conclude, our party broke up at
a reasonable orthodox hour every body
going away, well pleased with their even
ings entertainment, and your corrcspon-
dent will only further express here, the
wish, that when there is another such par
ty on hand, he may be there to see and
take notes. PnLANDER.

the Pennsylvania Reserves.

We have received from Col. J. P. Glass,
one of our representatives at Harrisburg,
a neatly-printed phamphlet of ten pages
defending the Pennsylvania Reserves from
the aspersions cast upon their soldiery
qualities in General McClellans report.
L comprises General McCal's reports of
the battles of Mechanicsville, Gains Mills
and New Market Cross Roads, together
with the Generals testimony before the
JUint Committee en- the Conduct of the
War, and the testimony of many of the
living division, brigade, line and company
officers Of the entire Reserve corps, inclu-
ding Gen. Meade. The united testimony
of Gen. Mccall and his subordinates is,
that the Reserves were not routed in the
battle of New Market Cross Roads, as
charged by Gen. Mcclellan. On the con-
trary, never did soldiers fight more hero
icly and against greater oddsthM did the
Reserves in the three battles we have
named. And it is already a part of his
tory that, if the. brave Reserves had been
properly supported in either of those en-
gagements, the enemy would not have
gained the victory over us they did when
they compelled Mcclellan to gather his
once proud and powerful army under the
protection of the gunboats in James river
1t was great gencroIship that was wanting
on the Pen nsuia-nct pluck and endu-
rance, neither of which soldiery qualities
was possessed in a greater degree by any
other division of the Army of the Poto-
mac than by the Pennsylvania Reserves

SCHoFIELD on DAwsoN.-On the
same day that John L. Dawson, de-
livered his set speech in Congress,
Judge Schofeld of this State, admin
istered to him a brief but pointed re-
buke in the following. words:
"Mr. Chairman, my colleague + Mr..
Dawson who addressed the House
this morning, informed Us that it was
just eight years since he had spoken
here before. Iknew that, not because
| have followed his personal history,
but | knewit by the tenor ofhis speech.
He must have turned down a leaf
just eight years ago, and begun to-day
where he left off then. The speech
might have been appropriately made
during the earlier years of the admin
istration of General Pierce. | wish
to remind him that the question in
volved in the struggle now furnishing
so many sad pages for history is a
question ofdivision: "Shall the great
Republic be divided into two small
oncs?' That is the question now be-
fore the country.
