From Washington
TO the Milwaukee Sentinel.


WASHINGTON, August s.
Prince Napoleon has gone to Manassas
and Richmond, with his suite. He was e.
corted through our lines by Mcdowell and
two companies of cavalry.
There is some excitement in consequence
as all the members of his suite are we'll
posted respecting the defenses at Washing
ton. n
McDowell's official report of the battle
at Bull Run, fills l40 pages. 1t gives our
loss at 500 killed and LOO wounded. No
positive statement of the missing.
He says that if the under officers had
conformed to bis orders, would have been

Railroad above the Junction in time to have
destroyed it.

LOUISVILLE, August Z.
A despatch from Little Rock, Arkansas,
August 9Th, to the Memphis Avalanche,
says Confederate scouting party encount
cred 100 Federals in Northwestern Arkan-
sas, and killed twenty five. The Coincide
rate loss was two.
The Portsmouth (Va.) Transcript of the
9Th, says the Federals have evacuated
Hampton and Newport News.
The Winchester Republican of the 9Th,
says Gen. Banks army is almost entirely
disbanded-only four regiments remaining.
The Richmond Congress has been discuss.
ing financial schemes, the probable result of
which will be to advance treasury notes on
subscribed cotton when the market opens,
the cotton to be sold at existing prices for
the benefit of planters.
The Lynchburg Republican learns, in adj
dition to the hand cuffs brought by the in.
vading army, there was large numbers of
halters for hanging Southern traitors. 1t
says in all probability the New World
never witnessed such scenes of horror as
would have witnessed the triumphant en-,
trance of the invading army into Richmond.
The Charleston Mercury Of the Sd says,
they have been provoked beyond endurance
by reading in certain Virginia papers the
most complacent comments on the charm
ing charity and benevolence of certain citi-
zens of Virginia towards the invaders of
their soil, plunderers of their estates, de-
stroyers of their homes, and fends and pol.
luters of their women. 1t demands every
prisoner in Richmond to be incarcerated
and put in irons. Justice, humanity, and
civilization alike cry aloud for stern exc
cutiOn of retributiOn.
Lieut.. Lamar, of the Confederate army,
is still confined in Richmond. The whole
of one side of his body is seriously para
lyzed.
Mr. Richie, of the Richmond Enquirer,
has just returned from Paris. He says the
cause of the Southern Confederacy is look
ing up in France, and he entertains no
doubt of their ultimate recognition.
1t is reliably stated in Richmond, on the
most undoubted evidence, that when the
news of the capture of Sherman's Battery
was received at Washington, that Scott
privately ordered six cannon to be taken
from the Navy Yard and sent to Washings
ton, with the announcement, in order it
might be said, that Sherman's Battery had
arrived safe.

terview at his quarters Thursday night he
made his entrance among the gathering OF
newspaper men, and was proceeding in quiet
conversational tones to unfold his views
upon the subject matter of the meeting,
quite unrecognized by the majority present.
LII fact, bis five feet five proportions were
completely lost in the group, and widen
ing of the ring was instantly proposed by
the outsiders-ostensibly that they might
better hear what he was saying, but quite
apparently that they might get fair look
at "the coming man." He is of almost boy
ish appearance, looking twenty five, but
probably ten years older is of Napoleonic

waistband, has good head firmly planted

forehead at a sufficient angle to indicate
character, clean cut chin, and mouth, the
lines of which indicate good humor aud
frmness in about equal proportions.
In dress he might readily pass for pri-

Sunday morning, Gen. Sigel, fearing the
enemy might recover and attempt to cut
his command off from Springfield, fell back
upon that city, where the Home Guards
were stationed. On reaching Springfield,
fearing the great number of the enemy
might induce them to get between him and
Rolla, Gen. Sigel concluded to fall back
upon Rolla with his provision trains, and
meet the reinforcements which were on their
way to him. 5ae 1a.a
At the latest movement of the departure
OF the messenger the enemy had not been
seen, and it is probable General Sigel has
not been disturbed in his march. Ninety
of the rebels were captured, among them
colonel of distinction--the messenger not
remembering his name. The sword and
horse OF McCullOch were among the trO.

from Rolla, and General Sigel and his army
may be considered sale.
