SIGBL ONE OF ARMY'S
BRILLIANT SOLDIERS
Tribute by Maj, Slime, Histo-
rian Of Army of Potomac.

According 10 Major J. II. Slime, his
I torian Of the army Of the Potomac. the
death of Gen Franz SigeI during tia
past week removed che OF the most
brilliant soldiers Of the American army
Major Slime, in talking Of the life OF
the dead soldier, said last evening:
Gen. Franz Sigel was one Of the
most remarkable men of his day and
time. Like Franklin, two worlds lay
claim to him, and the sorrow in Europe
viii be almost as intense as here over
,he demise Of that pure citizen, ripe
scholar, and great military genius.
Although a native of Baden, recefv-
ing his whole education in a monarehi-
cal government, he soon exhibited his
choice for a republican form of govern
1aeIt. HIS fight from Germany was
Americas great gain, for the Germans
followed Kim in battle with a zeal and
enthusiasm that knew no bounds. His
first act in the beginning Of the civil
war-swinging Missouri TO the Union
was enough to endear him to the people
OF this country
He was a natural military genius.
he vas quick TO take in the value Of
situation, and prompt to act. I saw
him after the battle Of Cedar Noun
tain Pope and several generals were
sitting on their horses. as Pope's army
was ready 10 move in the direction of
Richmond 10 form the right wing OF
McClellans army. / heard Pope say
that IN twenty-six miles We would be
with Mcclellan Just then an aide rode
up and said Lees army was only a few
miles OF, and pressing rapidly IN our
direction. Pope doubted his statement
Sigel was present He quietly listened
TO what was said. He turned his horse
and, addressing Pope, said:
I viii go 10 the front and inyesti-
gate.
1t was not long until he returned and
said &c Pope.
General, march at once for the
RapVahan1ock
Lee was in hopes TO follow Pope's
small army and destroy il; then. turn
ing on McCIelIan's- defeat that: quickly
march on Washington, take that: and
have several OF the leading powers OF
Europe recognize the Southern Con
federacy- But SigeI's quick military in
sight took in the desperate situation
and We Eew TO the Rappahannock, and
held that as q barrier 10 their advance
until the Army o. the Potomac could
come 20 our assistance mus Slgel had
rendered another valuable service to his
adopted country. The Germans followed
him with Z rare devotion, and the
wa=chwor1 among them IN every army
was I fight with Sigel' He was TO the
Eleventh Corps what Doubleday was 10
the First, Hancock to the Second.
SiCkIes &c the Third. Burnside 10 the
Ninth, Slocum to the Twelfth, and
PIesant0n 10 the cavalry.
General Grant was Sigels warm
friend, which fixes the Baden general
IN the military history of shat great
war, and endears him 10 the American
people forever for his great work
Place his statue by the side of Lafay-
ette-the latter &c represent the Yalor
OF the French in the Revolution; the
former as recognition Of the heroism
OF the Germans in the civil war.

In speaking of the purposes of the
education board, the Worlds Work
SAYS:
The aim of the board is not a
missionary aim. 1t is broadly patri-
otto. 1t will do its work in a prac-
teal way-its personnel is a guaran-
toe of that-without fads or theories,
without sectional feeling, race preju-
dice or any aim except the building
up of the neglected masses of our
population. II is organized ON a
broader basis than any body was ever
b fore organized for such a purpose;
and It's personnel includes men Of
northern birth and men of southern
birth. 1t is not unlikely that this
board may exert the strongest force
in aid of popular edtcation that has
ever been brought to bear on public
opinion. 1t ought &c receive u larger
fund than amy board has ever had to
administer: for it has machinery, ex-
Derience. sohrces of definite. first
hand information, and practical abil-
ity such as has perhaps never been
bought to such an undertaking.

A SPIRIT OF COOPERATION
Development Of the Public schools,
Especially These In the Ru-
raj Communities.

In all the states in the south in
which the education board has under
taken active work, the Organization
has had the emphatic Endorsement,
not only of the chief executive but
of the people, says the Montgomery
(Ala.) Advertiser. This has been due
to the wise and generous fidelity with
which the board has served the inter-
ests of the south. It has won conf
dencc by deserving it. 1t has Won
appreciation, not only by its profess
sions. but by its actions. 1t has not
attempted the realization Of alien and
unsympathetic theories. Placing its
work in the hands Of southern men
men of common earnestness in their
devotion to the south-it has worked
everywhere in sincere and cordial
conformity with the southern inter
est and southern ideals.
Its chief interest is in the develop
ment of our public schools special
ly the public schools of ourrural com
munities Its policy is not interior
ence. but cooperation. The board
is free from all entanglements,
whether eccles iastica or political. The
motive of its work in this state, ac-
cording to rhe standpoint of the read
er, may be called patriotic or educa-
tional or religious, but we believe this
motive may be described very COM
prehensively and very briefly in one
simply phrase-"The Children of Ala
bama."
