The French Prfncess-.-A Letter from
1.-The COmte de Paris to Gen. Sfckles.
CLAREMoST Sept. II, 1862.

CI-AREMoST Sept. II, 1862.
My DEAR GENERAL: have just read the
letter you wrote to the New York Times,
in answer to the Misrepresentation circu-
lated about our departure from America,
and hasten to thank you for having taken
up the pen under these circumstances.
Although we are accustomed to calum-
ny, and despise it, nevertheless it is very
gratifying to see the facts put in their true
light, and our situation so well understood
and so clearly explained; especially by a
member of the army with whose destinies
we were associated during nearly year
We shall always remember that CAM
paign with the army of the Potomac. as
one of the best and most interesting
epochs of our youth. 1t is with regret
nothing can be more valuable to us than
such testimonials of remembrance and es-
TEEN. | need not add that our hearty
wishes still accompany them; that the dis
tance has only strengthened the interest
that we take in the success of the great
cause for which we fought together.
Depend upon it, however ignorant and
preiudicial may be the public at large,
there are still on this side of the Atlantic
some hearts who follow with emotion the
struggle of a great and free nation for her
institutions, and who cannot believe in the
ultimate success of the efforts of deluded
minority to establish a new community
whose corner stone shall be 80 odious, so
dangerous, and so precarious an institution
as that of slavery.
Before ending this letter.. (for the bad
English of which must apologize } let me
still tell you, my dear General, how glad l
should be to shake hands again with you,
and to talk once more with you of your
winter quarters in that wild corner of Ma
ryland, or of the summer days when your
tent was pitched on the field of battle OF
Fair Oaks
beg you, my dear General to believe
me always, very truly yours.

Another Great Fraud.

The staple OF English and colonial local
news nowadays is the record of remarka-
bic crimes. The Roupell case now gives
way to another case of fraud, of which the
following account is given, the culprit be-
ing the British consul at the Dardanelles :
A most extraordinary but deep-laid
scheme has recently been disclosed, in
which suspicion attaches to no less per-
son than Mr.. Calvert, her Majesty's Consul
to the Dardanelles, and sub-agent to
LlOyd's (whO has since absconded). The
accusation is, that in the early part of last
year Mr.. Calvert wrote to Mr.. W. Abbott,
carrying on business in London, and rel
ative by marriage, to effect an insurance
at Lloyd's for friend of his (Mr. Calvert
at Constantinople, whom he named Hes
sein Aga, for E12 900, on Turkish ship,
the POssidhon, lying in Turkish waters,
loading with oil for Falmouth or Cork, and
directing him to raise money (2,5OOD on
the bills of lading to be remitted to him,
and afterwards further advance of 2,OOOI
ON another bill of lading for the remainder
of the cargo and that afterwards he, act
ing in the capacity of sub-agent to uoyd's,
telegraphed to Loyd's that large ship
had been seen in flames off the coast of
Lemnos. The Possidhon, not afterwards
being heard of, he made representation
that it must have been the Possidhon that
was seen in flames, and sent the necessary
documents and certificates, with the Off
cial seals of the Consul, to establish the
claim against the underwriters for the to-
tai loss of the Possidhon Circumstances
occurring of a suspicious character induced
the salvage committee connected with
Lloyd's to make inquiries at Constantine
pie, and the result proved that neither
Possidhon nor cargo ever existed that
there was no such person as Hessein Aga;
and that the bills of lading, clearance of
papers, certificates and documents were
all fictitious. The affair has been brought
before the government by the salvage
committee, and Earl Russell has dismissed
the Consul, and another gentleman has
been appointed to the office

Breakfast was just over at the Parson-
age, the table was cleared away, the chairs
set back and Mrs. Ashton in o neat morn
ing dress, with pretty little cap On her
pretty little head was standing with her
arm over her tall husbands shoulder, look
ing at the morning Paper. And as fine a
looking pair they were as you are likely to
see on summers day. The Rev. Clem-
ent Ashton was indeed regarded the hand
soonest man in the parish, and that with
good reason. Whether he ever had an idea
of his own upon the subject, was entirely
his own affair
Mrs. Ashton, as she was styled by the
parish-Christiana as her godfather and
godmother named her-Orissy as her bro
theirs and husband called her-was not un-
usually regarded as remarkably handsome
Her features were not very regular, and
she was not very fair, but her eyes were
70 bright and clear, and her figure 80 elias
tic and trim, her abundant hair, and above
all, her frank easy manners and the ex-
preston of sunny good temper and perfect
Openness lighting up her face, made most
people consider her very attractive wo-
man. Every one in the parish liked her,
from the two old people who sat near the
stove in church and always came round to
get their dinner at the parsonage on Sun
day, to Mrs. DR.. Rush, who was by far the
grandest lady in the parish.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ashton had been married
about six months, after an engagement of
almost three years, during which time they
had corresponded vigorously, but had seen

was in an overgrown parish in one of our
larger cities, and could seldom be spared:
and Chrissy was in another great CITY.
where she supported herself and helped BY
her labOrs to educate one Of her brothers
for the ministry. 1t was not until this
brother had finishedhis studies, and was on
an Independent footing, that she had con-
sented to be married.
"George cannot support himself entire

of her lover; che is not strong enough to

Marvellous Escape from Death II
Battle.

The London Ecomiue1', in correcting a
misstatement in regard to Major General
Ponsonby, relates the following story of
another Ponsonby, who was also at Wa
terlOO:
Colonel Ponsonby of the Twelfth ORA
goons, was stretched wounded on the
ground, and Polish Lancer, seeing some
life in him, said, using a filthy expression,
e., you are not yet dead, ;" and delib-
erately ran his lance into the disabled man 8
body more than once. Some French rifle
men then took possession of the ground
where Ponsonby lay, and they made heap
Of the bodies which they found on the spot
to serve as sort of parapet, from behind
which they fred kneeling. Ponsonby had
the luck of being placed at the top Of the
pile, and the rifeman who was using his
body both as shield and a rest, observing
some signs of life in him, instead of act
ing as the savage, dastardly lancer had
done, gave him drink of brandy out of his
flask. As the day wore on, Ponsonby's
sufferings became so intolerable that he
implored the friendly foe to put his rifle to
his head and dispatch him, but the gallant
fellow, said, mo, cheer up, the day 3 your
own, we are in full retreat, farewell, must
be Off" We are afraid to say how many
wounds Ponsonby had, we believe they
were not under dozen, and his survival
was attributed to his remaining on the
ground exposed to the cold for cold it was,
though midsummer) for nearly forty eight
hours, which kept down fever that would
otherwise have supervened. He recovered
to tell the story we have repeated, and few
finer looking men could be seen than he
was, after having been riddled and pierced
with dozen wounds. But mark what
death was in store for a man who had sur
vived what We have family described. E'c-
itus ergo quis est? Heu gloria! The hero
died Of the merry-thought of chicken.
He was choked by chicken bone at Mar
raj Green on his way to Southampton,
twenty-five years after his escape Of all the
horrors of the field of Waterloo.

Col. SibIey's Council with the Friend
Iy Indians.

From a letter of our correspondent at
Red Iron Village, where Col SIBLEY was
encamped at the time it was written, we
extract the following account ofthe speech
es at the council, which resulted in the de-
livery of the captives. COL SIBLEY spoke
as follows, Gin substance) through his in
terpreter, Rev. Mr.. RIGGS:
He wished to say to the Indians, that
he had come here with the large force
which they saw to capture and punish
those bad Indians, who had been engaged
in the murder of white men, women and
children; that he was glad to hear that
none of those present had been partici-
pants in the affair, and that they should
not be harmed; that many of the older
ones had known him personally when a
few years ago, he had control of the Indi-
an trade in this part of the State, the 9TH
ers knew him by reputation, and must be
satisfied, that he would not tell them one
thing, when in his heart he meant another;
that he had full power from their Great
Father to speak in his name, and that those
who had been engaged in taking the pris-
Oners from their captors should be remem-
bered and rewarded; that as to the mur-
derers, he should pursue as fast as he was
able, and that if he did not succeed in over
taking them, they could not escape, as
their Great Father had sent out large
forces in another direction to capture
them; that besides, he would be Joined by
about 1000 cavalry before long; they the
Indians might look upon the bad Indians
who had committed the murders as dead
men that he had now to request that
they would deliver over the prisoners they
had in their possession, which was now his
principal business with them, and that he
would hereafter hold further council with
them to discuss matters, that he was now
ready to hear any thing they had to say.
After Col. SrBrEY had concluded. Wa
bashaw and Mazakutamanee, (whose name
in English is ''4An Iron that Shoots Walk
ing, , responded in substance as follows:
They both denied having anything to do
with the raid; that it was commenced by
the Lower Indians; that we were found in
their midst, was true, but they had been
compelled at the muzzle of the gun, to
either go with them or die; their conduct
and acquiescence to the lower Indians was
with the view of saving the whites; they,
the other Indians had left them;. they had
neither blood on their hands or blood in
their hearts, or they could not shake hands
with their Great Father or look him in the
face, but now they had saved our white
folks they would deliver them up
WABAsHAw said his feelings of friendship
for the white man, encircled everything;
that his heart reached to the clouds; 'syes,
it reaches clear to the stars, and as far and
as high as the sum-" and that his feelings
for his Great Father were the same as

East Tennessee.

General Morgan has apparently done a
skillful and gallant deed in making his way
to the Ohio river with his noble band of
men, amid such overwhelming difficulties.
This retreat successfully accomplished un
der such circumstances, is one of the most
memorable events of the war. It must
move every heart, however, to reflect up
on the despair which must now once more
settle down over the heroic spirits of East
Tennessee.
Upon this point We find the following
passage in speech delivered in New York
on Saturday evening by Rev. Mr.. Carter,
refugee from East Tennessee
There she stands to-day, unchanged, as
immovable as her everlasting hills. Just
before l left Cumberland Gap, had part
in sending a man to the railroad, about 70
miles distant. He had to 20 through a
body of rebel troops, which Gen. Morgan
was afraid to attack with 10000 good
troops, and yet in four days that man rails

Major General MCCLELLAN, Commanding, &C.:
GENERAL-Your report of yesterday,
giving the results of the battles Of South
Mountain and Antietam, has been received
and submitted to the President. They
were not only hard-fought battles, but we'll
earned and decided victories.
The valor and endurance of your armies
in several conflicts which terminated in
the expulsion of the enemy from the loyal
State of Maryland, are creditable alike to
