The same correspondent also mentions that
highly derogatory reports are in circulation
in Paris, in reference 10 Gen. Prince Bona-
parte who is returning from the Crimea,
though they do not much harm his re-
putation. These reports indicate that the
military career Of the Prince does not pre-.
sent striking resemblance inheroism to that
Of the irst General Bonaparte. The allies, It
Is believed, can take Sebastopol without the
aid Of the Prince. But the correspondent re-
iterates bis incredulity of these disparaging
rumors. He says that he has .sfelt sure from
the beginning, and has more than once said
80 in his letters, that Napoleon III. would al
low no Bonaparte to gain military distinc-
ton Especially would serious military ca
reer be closed to the Prince Napoleon Bona
parte, who bears personally so striking re-
semblance to his uncle Napoleon l. If al
lowed to establish for himself substantive
reputation as general, why, with his name,
Napoleon Bonsparte, and his strong resem-
blance in feature to the true Napoleon, he
would only have to put on the famous cooked
bat, with the historical paletot girls, and ride
along the lines and carry every regiment of
the French army by reclamation to the cry
of Vire rEmpereur I Napoleon III. would
hold his throne by a very insecure tenure in
presence of General Bonaparte of reputa-
ton and real ability"
There can be no doubt that any real hero,
who can reap laurels in such a barren field as
the Russian war presents, whether he bore
the rame of a Bonaparte or not, would give
Louis Napoleon great uneasiness. Hence ne
will make peace as soon as possible, and we
shall be greatly surprised if the Emperor
Nicholas, who knows something of men and
things, submits to any sacrifice of territory or
honor in the negotiations now'in progress at
Vienna. BUTT appears the height of alb
surdity that q sensible man like Louis Napo-
| leon should trouble himself about the success
sion to the throne. If he can hold on to it
himself till the end of his natural life, he will
| be lucky man, and more fortunate than the
greatest Of the Bonapartes. There is no
earthly chance for any successor of the name.

THE KALEIDoscopE.-We know not when
we have seen literary journal which we
| could more cordially recommend to our read
| ers than the Kaleidoscope, edited by Mrs H.
| B. Hicks of Petersburg 1t is decidedly one
of the best family journals we ever saw. 1t
| ought to be in the hands Of every family in
Virginia which makes the slightest preten-
sions to literary taste, and has the faintest
desire to dsvelope the literature of Virginia.
The selections display admirable judgment
and the editorials are written with free
graceful and sparkling pen and are brimfull
Of thought, feeling and energy. How can
the people of Virginia subscribe to the huge
| mammoth sheets of the North, which, set
ting aside their abolition tendencies, their
stale jokes, and wishy- washy literature, are
mostly filled with matter of degrading and
polluting moral influence whilst, at their own
| doors, pure, fresh original fountains of wit,
humor and sentiment bubble up and run over
unheeded
Let the people of Virginia, if they value
their own interests, and the welfare and hap
piness of their households, Danish the maya
zines and m mammoth sheets of the North from
their dwellings, and encourage such periodi-
| Gals as the Southern Literary Messenger, and
| such family journals as the Petersburg Ka-
| leidoscope.
JULIEN's CoNCERT.--The Concert of Paul
Julien, tonight, we are sure will draw
crowded house. The Juuenale Prince of the
Vaolin is fresh from some of his greatest tri-
umphs in the Northern cities, and commences
his Southern tour with very bright prospects.
He loses little Adelina Patti, who took Of
fence, it is said, because her name was not
properly placed on the bills. AS her name
was put next to Julien's, it is inferred that she
was not satisfied because she was not placed
as the greatest star of this musical combina-
ton! Smart and we'll tutored as she I'M
doubtedly is, it would be absurd to consider
her as an infant prodigy. ahead of that most
| marvellous and matchless little fellow, Julien
AAC AttlC L htaA sAo"S hot oAAiy a AUCfa dp-
probation of her own talents, but makes
quite precocious display of her spirit in de-
fence of"woman's rights" But Julien has in
lieu of her treble pipes, signor Cuturi, vo.
caiist of distinction. He has besides, Signora
d Ormy and August Cooke, the distinguished
Pianist. He offers rich bill, and assisted
ably as he is, we do not doubt that his concert
will be admirable.
Julien is the most wonderful boy we ever
met with. He can exert more influence upon
an audience to-day, than any instrumental
musician in this country. His music is not
merely to be considered with reference to
the youth of the being so wonderfully en-
lowed by his Creator; but irrespective of age.
it cannot be equalled in all respects by any
master ofthe violin at this time, in the Union
None can resist the delicious strains of hi. in.
strument, while he stands himself the bean
ideal of youthful genius-bright, gentle and
unassuming.
PUB. Doc.-We acknowledge the courtesy
of Senators Mason and Hunter, and our rem.
resentative in Congress, Mr.. Caskie, in send.
