Prince NaDoIcop.

We copy from the New York Herald the
following interesting items in regard to Prince
Napoleon and the Princess ClOtilde, recently
arrived at New York.
HPrince Napoleon, irst cousin of the French
Emperor, and the Princess Olotilde, daughter
Of the Golanf nome Victor Emanuel, King Of
Italy-those are such arrivals as it does not
fan TO our lot to chronicle every day; and
the event has no political significance
being mainly for the benefit of the Princess
healih-it is yet one that in ordinary times
weuld have made great sensation in the
city.
;'Prince Napoleon, (sPlon' 'Plon, as
everybody knows, is son of Jerome Ma
pOieon by his second wife, and stands, next
afler the Prince Imperial, heir to the throne
Of the Eapoleons. he is about forty years
Of age-stOutisb, about Eve feet eight, not
particularly Napoleonie in physiognomy,
and as we saw him yesterday afternoon on
| Broadway in a summer suit of linen and
straw hat looked like any ordinary bourgeois
| gendlhomme.
"His Princess OIotilde Marie Therese
Louise Clotilde, to write the name ia full, J
! IS a daughter of Victor Emanuel, and it viii
be remembered that the union, a couple OF
years ago, was looked upon as q political
marriage The alliance was determined
upon by an intimate understanding between
the two Soyereigns, and the reciprocal in.
terests of France and Piedmont and th'
i negotiations to briRg It about were delayeC
more than year. She WA born in ls43,
and is consequently at present in her nine
teenth year, and is petite, of ItalIan complex
ion and features, and very progressing anC
unassnming in manners. With the Princess
as her first maid of honor, is the Duchess
| d'Abrante3 also quite young and very pretty

Close Of tho CampaIan in weateru virginia,

- @---~~
Our special dispatches Of last night an
nOunce that General Cox has driven Gen.
Wise aud his rebel band from Western Vir-
ginia, our troops holding Gauley Bridge
This bridge lie within Eve miles OF Staunton,
which is connected with Richmond by th
Virginia Central Railroad, the distance being
about on hundred and twenty-five miles.
This ends the campaign in Western Virginia,
unless Wise should return with reinforce
ments from Richmond, in which event he
would meet warm reception, as Gen. Cox
will, OF course, fortity his position, which is
known to be a very strong one. 1t is
barely possible that Wise is trying to en-
trap our forces BY leading them beyond Gau-
ley, where they will be in the enemy's coun-
try, when Wise will fall upon them with a
recruited army. There is little danger, how
ever, of Gen. Cox going "lorward to Rich
mond, or so nigh to it's to be overpowered.
Nor does the precipitste retreat of the rebels,
leaving hah'7d them one thousend muskets
and other sccoutTemsnts, look very much like
strategical move, but rather a flight for
safety.
Thus have the oppressors been forced from
the truly ''sacred soil" of loyal Western
Virginia. But a few weeks have elapsed
since their armed hosts marched forth for the
avOwed purpose of inAicting penalties upon
their brethren because they remained true to
their country and to themselves, and now
SSe last miserable remnant of their defeated
and demOralized army barely escapes our
brave troops, who have killed their great
leader, captured hundreds of their number,
and secured a great portion of their arms
and munitions Of war.
All this has been accomplished under the
skillful direction of the young hero of the
West, Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan, aided by the
brave troops of Ohio and Indiana. What
other States can show such record of the
campaign? Let those who have Knocked at
the misfortunes and embarrsssments of Ohio
such as are naturally incident to the sudden
organization of large military force in q
peaceful community-ask themselves this
question.

Who Caused the Advance 3

This Is question which, amid the con-
ficting statements Of newspapers and
letter writes, it has been difficult to an-
sSer satisfactorily. Some have asserted
that the President dictated to General
Scott, others that the Cabinet influenced
the President, and still another class that
the military authorities we're alone respOn-
sible. This latter view has seemed to US
the most plausible one, SO far as direct in
reference was concerned, but we have
been, and are still, disposed to hold certain
influential journals and an impatient pub
lie accountable for whatever was done that
was premature. We have never been will
ling to believe that the Administration had
interfered with the Lieutenant General in
any manner, except so far as to perform
duty which legitimately devOlved upon it,
viz: the general direction as to what was
to be accomplished, leaving the military
department 10 perform its part in its own
manner aud at its own time. This view
we find sustained by the Washington Re-
publican, paper which sustains mere init
mate relations with the Administration
than any other in the nation. Upon this
subject, that paper makes the following
statement;
"Ths confusion Of statements on this
point, has resulted from confounding two
things entirely distinct viz: the advance
upon Richmond, and the fighting Of this
particular battle Of July 21st.
=" "0eneral Scott was notoriously opposed
to the advance upon Richmond and in that
particular be had been overruled by the
President Butthe advance being ordered,
is conduct VOas intrsIsted 10 the management of
General Scot, and he tD0s NOT TestTGiaed By
superior authority, either as to attacking Bull
Run at all, or as to the time of attacking t.
"It is thus by separating things improp-
erly confounded, that the country will ar
rive at a correct idea Of the history Of
events, and Of the proper responsibility Of
official persons.
"That for the intended advance upon
Richmond, rests upon the President and the
political Administration.
9That for the battle of July 21st, rests
upsn the military authorities, who took
their own time and manner, and were not
interfered with, in any way or degree what
ever, either by restraint, or precipitation"
Cleveland tri-weekly leader. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1854-1885, 1861-08-03

Commodore Craven, of the Potomac Flo
tilla, made reconnaissance in the vicinity
Of Aqua Creek on the SOth ultimO, as
thus reports to the Navy Department:
"At about 10 clock, as / was passing
Potomac Greek, discovered an enoamp-
ment Of the rebels upon Marlborough Point
and at the same time battery of about five
heavy guns on the southern bank of the
creek. With view of ascertaining if the
rebels we're there in force, accompanied by
the steamer Reliance opened FIRE upon the
encampment, which was promptly returned
by 3 concealed battery on Marlborough
Point the first shot from q rifled cannon
taking effest upon our port wheel house,
but not doing any material damage. The
little Reliance gallantly tried her best to
reach the rebels. Having accomplished the
object Of my visit, and found out that cur
guns had not sufficient range TO be effect
i've, pursued my course. At Marlborough
Point at least one regiment of men is en-
csmpel. They have mounted at least i've
riHed cannon, y addition TO the FIVE on the
south side of the creek. Several officers
Of my vessel and of the Reliance thought
that they saw signs of the rebels having
been at work throwing up batteries of
eArthWorks."
