The Daily Dispatch: May 24, 1862., [Electronic resource], Progress of the War. (search)
l men in St. Louis, (Germans excepted,) are Secessionists; but they were kept at bay by the Germans under the old flag. And through hard trials these patriots have gone. Three times were the Home Guards of St. Louis attacked by the mob, but stood their ground well.--For a time no soldier in uniform could go single through the streets of the city without danger of assassination. One by one did the first volunteers go to the Arsenal, to fill the regiment that were recruited there by Slegal, Blair, Boernstein, Osterhans, and others, under our lamented Lyon. Nobly have they done their duty everywhere. Hardly an engagement but the Germans have had their representatives there. Do you remember Carthage — how Gen. Stegel, with 1,500 Germans, whipped 8,000 rebels Have you forgotten Max Weber at Hatteras Inlet, Willich at Rowlett's Station, or the Ninth Ohio at Mill Spring, or Blenker's Division at Bull Run, and the crowning victory at Pea Ridge which was so largely due to our own Siegel?
