GEN. SIGEL SPEAKs.-This gallant officer in a
letter to New York committee, and dated Oct.
22d says:


"This Republic is in danger, and cannot be
saved by those who sympathize with the rebellion,
who contemplate dsgraceiul compromises, or
who aim at the establishment of slave empire.
Peace cannot exist while two antagonistic prin-
ciples govern in this land. Therefore, every
Republican aud patriot should stand to the oolors
which honor and protect him, aud should vote for
those candidates only who are tried like WadS-
worth who are the most earnestly devoted to the
vigorous prosecution OF the war; aud are in favor
of such means as will permanently introduce
liberty into the South"

they have no excuse for running of and
leaving important business unfinished
Those who are candidates for reelection
can do much more to propitiate their con-
stitucnts by remaining at their posts until
their work is completed. They are not
wanted at home; they will be thrice as
welcome two months hence. The truth is.
Congress ought to remain in permanent
session until the end Of the war. Let the
Senate exhibit its wisdom and patriotism
by telling the impatient House that busl-
ness is before pleasure; that great national
concerns must first be attended to; that
these are extraordinary times when mere
personal conveniences must give way to
the demands ofcountry and public good

A DARING ADvESIURE. - A few nights
before the Connecticut left Ship Island, infor-
nation came to our feet that tho rebel vessel
Fiorida-one Of those smart little steam craft
which are SO fond Of running the blockade
was up the Appalachicula river, ready to sail
out the next day. The captain of the sailing
bark Pursuit was dispatched to capture her,
and went by night little distance up the
river. All was still and dark There were
no lights on the shore, and the rebels, II a
round, were too fast asleep TO hear the cast
ing OF the anchor of the sloop, and the em-
barking Of her crew in small boats. With
muiiled oars they proceeded swiftly up the
stream. until after running some two miles,
they came IN sight Of the little town Of APP
palachicola, and the dark black hull Of the
steamer lying near the wharf. Every thing
was quiet. Swiftly and surel , and so still
that they could hear the night insects
chirruping on the shore, the Union sailors
in their little boats neared the steamer
A moment more, and they were on her deck
The vessel in its iancied security was almost
deserted, though laden with cotton and ex-
pectng to run the blockade in a day or two.
Only the engineers were on board, and they
were asleep till walked up by our men. Deem
ing u oest 70 make tue most Dl the new dHaltS'
these gallant engineers consented, for a con
sideration Of S2O0--federal, not confederate
money-to sail the steamer out to the Union
fleet. She arrived out in safety with the P,E-
sut, and was sent to Key West as Union
prize. There is reason TO believe that the
good cotton shippers of Appalachicola were
both surprised and disgusted to find that their
vessel and cargo had disappeared in a single
night. as mysieriously as Aladdin's palace
The Florida was new merchant steamer,
built recently at Mystic, Ct, for the company
OF the parish of Atchafalaya.

1t is not our desire to give prominence at
the present time TO the discussion Of the Sen
atorial question. The unanimity with which
Mr.. Foot, the present incumbent has been
recommended for reelection by the Press
throughout the State, may be said to virtual
ly put the question at rest, and to render any
further discussion unnecessary.


We allude TO the subject at tho present
time, merely for the reason that a corTespon-
dent Of lPaloH's Daily Journal has seen ct
TO oppose the recollection of Senator Foot,
upon the ground that he has held the Office
long enough, and TO recommend Hon. 10y
all c. Kellogg Of this town as his successor
Under ordinary circumstances, and in ordina-
ry tmos,-(in other words, we're there no
peculiar reasons existing why the State should
return Mr.. Foot to the Senate, the sugges-
ton Of the name Of Judge Kellogg in con-
nection with that honorable and dignifod
position would give us the greatest sausfac-
ton, and command our heartiest support.
He is man every way ft TO wear the robes
and to bear the dignities Of the Senatorial
position. Judge Kellogg is in the vigor Of
mature manhood lis endowed with rare in
tellectual qualities, and possesses judgment
that scarcely ever fails, in any emergency, TO
conduct to correct conclusions. With man
ners simple and artless, and habits as pure
as those Of childhood itself, integrity
that is unblemished even by the supicion Of
a stain, and possessing comprehensive views,
(the result of political study and wide inter-
course with public men, which eminently
beft the solid statesman, he would reflect
credit upon Vermont in the United States
Senate or in any other position to which he
might be elevated.


But we have the best Of authority for say
ing that Judge Kellogg has heard his name
mentioned in connection with the Senatorship
with much regret He would be exceedingly
panied to believe that any one could think he
is engaged in any intrigue for the office, or
that he has any personal desire for it. He
does not desire to be considered a candidate.
We have no authority for announcing in
whose favor his preference runs, for in his po-
sition it would not be expected that he would
be otherwise than reticent. If we were al
lowed to express an opinion, we should say
that Judge Kellogg in common with the great
mass of the people of the State, expects and
desires the re election of Senator Foot. But
in stating this we speak wholly from conjec-
ture. In regard to the use of his name in
connection with the office of Senator, we do
feel authorized to say that it has been done
without his knowledge. He belongs to that
worthy class of eminent men who do not
seek office, and who accept it when bestowed
with an honest and sincere distrust, but with
an equally honest and sincere purpose to per-
form with fidelity the duties which it imposes.
