CAMP SIGEL BURNED.
The 27th Regiment has
been dislodged by fire. Their barracks, at North Point, Milwaukee, burned
down on the night of the first, destroying a large amount of commissary
stores, a considerable quantity of the soldiers clothing, and, what is
more terrible than all, two of the soldiers lost their lives. One statement
says the fire originated in the quarters occupied by Capt. Marschner's
company, and another affirms that it originated in an unoccupied room of
the barracks. The Regiment has removed to Camp Washburne.

GEN. SIGEL. -
The N. Y. Tribune has
the following: "Gen. Franz Sigel returned to this city yesterday, after
an ineffectual visit to Washington, which was made in the hope to serve
the Republic again in the field. We suppose it would hardly be doubted
that Gen. Sigel has some military talent and experience which might be
made available against the enemy. Yet he has in vain offered and asked
to be assigned to any duty, provided he might be thought competent, even
if he were no more than that of an aid on the staff of the General commanding
the army of the Potomac. How long will the military authorities at Washington
continue to think they can afford to dispense with the services of loyal,
earnest, devoted, capable men, who are willing to be put anywhere they
can be useful? When they have ceased to cherish and act on such opinions
this war will be considerable nearer its end than it is now."
