of General Sigel: Gen. Sigel still remains here, and will not leave until he has orders to that effect. His resignation caused much excitement, and his loss, if we must lose him, will be most deeply regretted. Since the outbreak of the rebellion he has shown more military talent than any of those officers who so bitterly oppose him. When he received orders from Gen. Lyon to march into the Southwest he was on the move in the shortest possible time. His movement from Springfield toward Neosho was pronounced one of the most rapid marches during the war, and the admirable skill displayed in his memorable fight at Carthage won for him a brilliant and lasting reputation among the enemy as well as among our loyal citizens. At the time Gen. Fremont started on his Southwest campaign it was a matter of common remark that Gen. Sigel outstripped all officers in celerity of evolution. On a certain day orders were issued to the five divisions of the army to march from the line of the r

f the river cribs filled with stone were built out to meet the barges, all of which was successfully accomplished, notwithstanding there was a current running of nine miles an hour, which threatened to sweep everything before it. It will take too much time to enter into the details of this truly wonderful work. Suffice it to say that the dam had nearly reached completion in eight days working time, and the water had risen sufficiently on the upper falls to allow the Fort Hindman, Osage, and Neosho to get down and be ready to pass the dam. In another day it would have been high enough to enable all the other vessels to pass the upper falls.--Unfortunately, on the morning of the 9th instant, the pressure of water became so great that it swept away two of the stone barges, which swung in below the dam on one side. Seeing this unfortunate accident, I jumped on to a horse and rode up to where there the upper vessels were anchored, and ordered the Lexington to pass the upper falls, if poss
