Probably no younger man ever served as general officer in any war, and while the revolution was not successful in overthrow- ing the government, it has never been held that this was due to the lack of bravery or determination on the part of those who di- rected the military campaign.
 Sigel was placed in command of part of the revolutionary troops at the begin ming of the war, and the revolutionists con- gratu'ated themselves that he was with them, for, despite his youth, he had the

 "I had 5000 men under me-" he said the other day, "when was hardly more than a boy. A year later I was put over an army corps of 20.000 men, being then com mander-in-chief and we fought as well as we knew how. But, as all the world knows, it was a hopeless contest from the start, for the government had at least four men to our one and that was enough to beat us, had there been no other reasons

 General Sgels publication is period- ioal entitled "The New York Monthly, printed partly in German and partly in English. It's chief feature just now is serial from the generals own pen, captien- ed "Ein Halbes Jahrhundert, in Engilsn, "A Half Century,"

The sec ond part dealing with the civil war, is Tn Enel'sh for those who do not read Ger man.
 General Sigel is intensely irte- ested in the present war, not only as loyal Amer- jean citizen and veteran soldier, but also because he percieves its fell sgnifica ce as a part of the irrepressible conflict be- tween government by irresponsible rulers who crush and grind the people and gov- ernment by the people themselves.

The Vicksburg Post of Monday last
says that ''U. S. engineer W. s. Brown
came up from Biggs levec this morn
ing and in his opinion the limited
amount of water now passing through
the openings iu the main line at Reid's
levee will do little or no damage to the
country in the rear. The different
openings are estimated TO be about
fifty feet in width and the water only
about foot in depth. The only loss
is estimated to the contractor at 1000
yards of earth and delay until the river
recedes, in completing the work. The
entire force of labor is now concentra-
ted on the Biggs levee.
