The Prince Napoleon, of France,
now on visit to this country as a
private gentleman, called upon the
President of the United States on Sat-
urday last, Sd inst, at IL o'clock. ac-
companied by the French minister,
and was received with great cordiali-
ty. Secretary Seward and the other
members of the Cabinet were present,
with the exception of Mr.. Cameron,
who is out of the city. After visit
to the two Houses of Congress, where
he spent some time in viewing the
Capitol, and in friendly intercourse
with members, the Prince dined with
the President and Cabinet and other
persons of note. 1t is understood that
he will extend his tour Of observation
through the North and West, where
he will doubtless find many objects of
Unconstitutional Inteiiigencsr.
Gen. Mcclellan and Gen. Scott, with
the Cabinet and Lord Lyons, were of
the dinner party to Prince Napoleon
at the White House on the Sd inst.
On Monday pleasure trip was made
to Mt. Vernon on board one of the
Government steamers. The Prince
was accompanied by Secretary Sew
ard and a large party of Diplomats
and others. They were gone all day
and returned safely in the evening.
They were much delighted with the
trip. No rebel soldiers were seen.

For the st Charles City InteiIigeneer
The Township Question.

EDITOR lNTELMGENCER Allow me
to call the attention of the citizens of
Floyd county to the Importance of
circulating Petitions or taking some
proper course at once to express to the
Board of Supervisors, at their next
meeting, the opposition of the people to
the recent action of the Board in divid-
ing the county into t,celre Townships,
instead of nine, as at present.
The people not only never asked
fos an increase in the number of
Townships,-thereby largely increas-
ing but it is believed that
a very large majority of the legal
voters of the county never heard or
even dreamed of such township alter
atoms, and those who have reflected
carefully upon the subject, are decid-
eddy opposed to it.
If the Supervisors are the servants
of the people-as they have professed
to be and as we have supposed-they
will respect the will of the people,
and not attempt worse system Of
arbitrary dictation than the worst
of County Judges ever dreamed of.
By the recent action of a small major
ity-doubtlcss from pam of proper
consideration-thc rights and inter-
ests of the people have been trifled
with and tramplcd upon, and shall we
submit quietly to such things J? Our
votes elected the present incumbents,
and our voice should not be silent at
this time.
To misjudge the wishes and even
motives of others is human, and if the
recent action of the Supervisors, is
not in accordance with the honest
convictions of the majority of the
legal voters of the county, it will
be pleasure to the Board to
place the Township boundaries as
they found them-as the people had
previously desired to have the same
established for their accommodation,
with such trifling alterations, in par
ticular localities, as the interests of
the people shall lead them to ask for.
The adoption of the Supervisor
system, was hailed in Northern Iowa
as a triumph of democratic principles
over the former one man power and
for the success of the system it is to
be hoped that it will not be abused
and thus rendered unpopular in its
infancy. If prostitutcd to the ad-
of personal and party ends, |
it will become unpopular, and the law
doubtless will be repealed. Upon
the several Boards of Supervisors
throughout the State, rests the re-
sponsibility, and the people will hold
them and their actions to a strict &C
count for since the days of the coun.
ty Judge system, we have hoped, and
still believe, that there is not and
shall not be any power higher than
that of the people.

TELEGRApHIC PLUcK-Mr. William C.
Hall, Of the army telegraphic corps,
was stationed at Centrevilc during
the late great battle, and kept up a
constant communication with the War
Department at Washington. He re-
manned at his post after the fight COM
menced and danger became imminent;
and only left it when ordered to do so
by Gen. Scott. He had everything in
readiness to start, and when the order
came detached his instrument by cut
ting the wires, and slid," taking his
instrument with him, which he carried
over twenty miles. On reaching
Washington he was summoned to the
War Department, and was compliment
ted by Gen. Scott with the remark,
that if the officers in command had
shown his pluck, the result of the bat
tie would have been very different.
Mr.. II. is now stationed at Arlington
flights, in the drawingroom Of the
rebel General Lees house.

From the Keokuk Gate City, August 9th.
Battle at Athens, Mo.

another Fight on The Des Moines Rircr
On Sunday night, about o'clock,
messengers come in from Croton by
hand car and reported that large
body of rebels had been seen on Sun
day moving towards Athens, evident
" with the intention of attacking the
Union camp at that place.
Immediately the City Rifles and the
keokuk Rangers we're summoned, and
soon after 8 o'clock, P. NJ, about IS
of each company, armed and equip
ped with United States rifles and mus
kets, took special train for Croton,
arriving there about IL o'clock, p. NJ.
As there was large quantity of army
supplies in the Croton depot, our men
guarded it during the night and We're
not disturbed.
Soon after daylight, while number
OF the keokuk men were over in Ath-
ems at breakfast, an attack was made
on the Union camp by firing q small
cannon. The Union men sprang to
their arms and found that the rebels
were coming up in three divisions,
evidently intending by flank move
ments to surround the Union camp.
About Is of the City Rifles and few
others engaged the cncmy's right
wing which was covered by corn
field. Not expecting an attack so
early, the Rifles had but few rounds
OF ammunition, and when that was
gone they retired across the river to
Croton. In Crossing the river Mr..
Dickey of Pennington was badly
wounded, constable Hendrickson got
a buck shot in his leg, John Bruce
and J. w. Noble were slightly graz
ed The Keokuk boys continued the
fire from the Croton bank, driving the
rebels from Gray's house into an ad-
joining corn field. The Rangers and
Rifles then crossed over the river, and
routed the rebels, killing and wound
ing several.
During this time, say an hour and
a half, Col Moore, with 400 men, was
engaged with the enemy's centre and
left wing, and gai!antly repulsed and
routed them. When their right wing
fell back the fight became general and
Col. Moore pursued them five miles,
capturing 60 horses. The Missouri
Union men gave the Kcokuk boys
great praise for their gallantry and
timely service in driving back the
800 rebels on the right wing
We have heard q thousand rumors
about the battle, and found it difficult
to obtain accurate details. 1t is clear
however that 1900 rebels were re-
pulsed and driven of by 500 Union
men.

Iowa STATE Some un-
known friend has favored US with the
catalogue of the State University for
1861. The printing is miserably exc
cnted-indeed it is a disgrace, not
only to the art of printing, but to the
college itself, to send out a catalogue
looking so meanly as the one before
us. 1t appears that the higher depart
ments of the University have but few
students. The Preparatory and Nor
NAL Department have Isl Of the l72

Kentucky Election.

The election in this State on the 9Th
inst. was for members Of the Lcgisla-
ture, and resulted in an overwhelming
Union victory. The Union majority
Of the State will exceed $4,000 In
the Legi stature it is said there will
not be more than dozen rebel mem
bcrs all told.
The good news from Kentucky
aroused the widest enthusiasm in
Washington, when it was received in
the House of Representatives before
its adjournment, by the vcritable Ex-
Governor, Mr.. Wickliffc, with the
declaration that Kentucky was the
first to adopt the Constitution and
would be the last to desert it. The
thunder of applause from the floor and
galleries shook even the solid walls,
it was an outburst of patriotic feel
ing. This great victory will be follow
ed by physical one not less magnif-
cent.
There are now at this moment
10000 organized Union men in Ken
lucky only waiting the accomplish
ment of this victory at the ballot box
to take the field and drive the rebel
forces out of Kentucky and Tcnncs-
see the Kentucky legion is ready to
be mustered into the service and the
men are burning with a desire to aid
their Union neighbors in Tennessee,
to free themselves from the despotsm
Of the Davis mobocracy.

Our Capt. Smith returned from a
visit to Cedar Falls last evening, and
brought presents from the citizens of
that place, of various descriptions,
which were distributed this morning
amid many hearty cheers for the
friends at home. We were returning
from dress parade when Capt. Smith
came into camp, and we broke ranks
as soon as possible. Lieut.. Sessions
proposed three cheers for the Captain,
which we gave and tiger" to the
best of our ability. The boys were
all overjoyed at the Captains return.
Lieut. Sessions has been appointed
Adjutant, and r. w. Montague, Ser
geant Major. Sessions has gone to
ST. Louis after our equipments.
A scouting party Of So men and
2 officers went out few nights ago
and returned next day 4 p. NJ,
bringing in 20 guns and some ammu-
milton. Some of the guns were load
cd with buck shot. The scouts search
ed every house along the road be-
tween here and Springfield, distance
of twelve miles. They met with q
few Union men who gave them break
fast and showed them into their orch
ards, with the direction to help them
selves, which by their story l think
they did, the fruit being ripe and de-
licious.
We are throwing up entertainments
around large hotel here, the ditch
being five feet deep. Rumors are in
camp that Gen. Harris is advancing
against us with some 1000 men; but
the boys say let him come on if he
wants to find out what the Iowa boys
arc made Of" l think they are too
great towards to attack us.
Thus far not one of the Sd Rcgi-
ment has been taken prisoner, or been
shot by the rebels. Two have been
shot accidentally-one last week was
shot and only lived twenty minutes.
He had an aged mother and brother
in Knoxville, Iowa. His body was
packed in ice and sent home. The
soldier that left the cap on the gun
was sentenced to seven days extra
guard duty for his carelessness, and
is now serving out his time.
Our company are all well except
one or two. We have been in camp
two weeks now, and the boys begin
to want fight, or something else
care not what. They can't stand the
do-nothing policy long at time. Let
Harris come on!

ANOTHER DEMocRArIc STATE CONVEX
TIoN.-A portion of the members of
the old Democratic State Committee
have issued call for State Conven-
tion to be held at Des Moines on the
Goth of August, the day after the ad.
.journed Fusion Convention. The sub
scribers to the call totally ignore the
late Democratic State Convention and
evidently contemplate an arrangement
whereby they will endorse a part il
not the whole Of the Fusion ticket.
We will venture the prediction that
the candidates Of one or both of these
conventions will be, John Edwards
for Governor, Maturin L. Fisher for
LIEUT.. Governor, and G. G. Cole for
Supreme Judge.

The steamers Ben De Ford and S.
G. Spaulding, from Fortress Monroe,
passed New York on the 9th inst.
en- route for New Haven, having on
board the LIST Vermont Regiment of
Voluntcers--their term of service
(three months) having expired. At
New Haven the soldiers took the cars
for Brattleboro', where they went into
camp for two days and were paid of
by the Government. They then dis
persed to their several homes. 1t is
said that large portion of this regi'
ment will re-enlist for the war.
Assistant Quarter-Master Whiting,
of Woodstock, was the only one who
has been killed from this regiment.
A dozen have been slightly wounded.

Rebel Vandalism.

A despatch from Fortress Monroe
of the 9th inst. gives particulars of
the burning and destruction Of the
village of Hampton, near that place,
by the rebels under Gen. Magruder.
1t appears that Magruder left York
town with force of 1000 men, inclu-
ding $500 cavalry and eight pieces Of
artillery. On Monday night they ell
camped at Great Bethel, which was
completely desolated. On Tuesday
they advanced toward Hampton, and
at noon took up their position three
miles from the town. The object of
the expedition was to draw out our
forces, attack Camp Hamilton or New
port News, if practicable, and at least
destroy Hampton SO as to prevent
our troops using it for military quar-
tiers. At midnight, Magruder, with
500 men entered the town and immedi.
ately fired the greater part of the five
hundred houses, which were built of
wood and produced a terrible conAa-
grafton. The fire ragged all night, and
the next day but seven or eight build
ings were left standing. The destruc-
ton of the town was wanton act of
cruelty, for the residents and owners,
and entirely useless, as Gen Butler in.
tends to winter his army many miles
from Hampton. The rebels are re.
porting that Hampton was burned by
General Butler.
