He visited the camps on Staten Island on
Sunday last, and one of tho scntries not
knowing who he was refused him admittance
within the lines. The Prince, however, when
he found his rank Of no avail, tried another

A Baltimore letter in the Philadelphia IN
quirer has the following news from Richmond /:
81 am told on good authority, that a mer-
chant in this city has received a late letter
from his correspondent in Richmond which
significantly indicates that the people of that
city are heartily sick not only of secession
and its sorrowful fruits, but of the war. 1t
is also asserted if President Davis and his ar
my do not meet with greater success than they
did at Bull Run and Manassas, a counter feel

PooKET MONEY FOR CHILDREN. There is
no error more fatal than imagining that
p'nch'ng youth in his pocket money will
teach him frugality. On the contrary, il will
occasion his running into extravaganza with
so much more oagerness when he comes to
nave money in his own hands as pinching
him in the diet will make his appetite only
the more rapaeions. If you put into the
hands Of your child more money than ia suit
able to his age and discretion, you must ex.
pect to find that he has thrown it ava, upon
what is not only idle, but hurtlul. A GER
tain small, regular income any child above
six years Of age ought to have. When he
comes to be capable Of keeping on account,
he ought to be obliged to do it; no will
thereby acquire habit Of frugalty, attention
aud prudence that will be Of service TO him
through his whole life On the contrary. TO
give young person money to spend ut will,
without requiring any accoun: of it, is lead
ing, or rather forcing him upon extravaganza

WAR NOT A SPECTACLE.

WAX MOI a SPECTACLE.
One of the most repulsve features of the
late advance of our army into Virginia was the
large number of civilians who accompanied it,
We are told that not less than thousand
persons having no military employment went
from the city of Washington in the wake Of
the troops to witness the expected battle
Only few OF them, who were connected with
leading journals and correspondents, had any
business OF call to be there, and went purely
from motives of curiosity. Congressman,
clerks Of the government hotel visitors, and
il is said a multitude of secessionists among
them crowded the thorC aghiares, as they do
in England on Derby Day, or as in our coun-
try parts the rural people flock to a general
training"
The scene was disgraceful in the extreme
The sight of great battlefield is one Of the
most dreadful that is ever presented to human
eyes, and we cannot envy the sensibilities of
those who rushed to it as they would to a
spectacle in theatre. But apart from the
brutality of the incident, it appears to have
been a main cause of the serious disasters of
Sunday afternoon. Our noble soldiers had
already made themselves virtual masters of
the heaviest batteries--had silenced others,
and were prepared to advance upon the re-
when a senseless panic was produced among
the teamsters by charge of cavalry. This
was immediately communicate to the large
number Of civilians, who spread their terror
among the struggling soldiers wherever they
passed. They destroyed the confidence Of
the soldiers in our success, and turned what
would have been triumph, shortly, into
defeat.
The crowd Of secessionists who formed
part of the mob Of gentlemen" were not slow
IN percelving their opportunity; they added
TO The clamors they exaggerated the rumors
OF danger; aud they too brought the first in

morsllation and route Of our forces. trans

now seem that, in spite of the CONSERVATION
OF the Transfers and civilians. and in spite of
the enormous tales of 'he secession rabble.
our men behaved with wonderful GOODNESS.
and made their retreat in good order.
We hope, when the next grand movement
rs made, measures will be taken TO prevent
another occurrence Of this kind our senators
and representatives are better in their seats
than hanging about the camps and the idle
visitors TO the Washington hotels might east
