When the late Prince Of Wales was twenty

S5co.coo as an outfit. and half that amount as

fused to pay up, protesting that it was little
enough to pay him for the expense of board
ing, lodging and educating his hopeful heir
from infancv to manhood.
The present Prince has been better treated,
His revenue has been carefully invested Orer

his lately purchased estate in Norfolk, The

neglect Of duty in the case Of Sergeant John
Pryor and private " i1liam Barrel, J I have the
honor to report, that on the 29th Of November,
Iproceeded to Corinth and visited the above
regiment. Col. Sweeney (now acting Briga-
dicr,) and Surgeon Winchester (noW Medical
Director at CoEinth,) received me very courte-
ously and offered me every facility in the dis
charge Of my unpleasant duty. After thor
ough investigation, found that there was no
such man In the regiment as John Miller.
Sergeant Pryor and VIM. Barrett had been sick,
but found them both Oh duty. Both gentle
men assured me that they had never seen the
time, and would not now, accept their dis
charge, They have no complaints to make
against the Surgeon OF any other officer in the
regiment; On the contrary said they had re-
cefyed every attention possible during their
Illness. They know no such man as John
Miller, and were very indignant that your ex-
celleney should hare been troubled with such
4 malicious letter. They desired me to express
mahy thanks for your kinapess and prompt
ness in redressfng the wrongs Of Illinois
soldiers.

troops at that post, and found the following.

Corinth in charge Of Dr. Gay is being broken

our troops at such posts as Corinth, jackson

into winter quarters, and the great want Of

The old regiments have learned the art Of
living in camp although no change In their
rations-their euisIne department, have great

more home-like. Gen. Dodge is in command
at Corinth. Col. Chet.ain 81 the 12th Illinois
commands the post. The force at Coriuth is
small, but composed Of veterans. The forti-
feations are very strong and admirably ar
ranged Co1;nth with ali its valuable historic
associations is safe in the hands Of its present
guard and commander.
Gen Sullivan commands the district Of
Jackson, and We sincerely hope that he nav

Of Jackson. We have here the 106th and 18th

Our Washington letter, printed here
with, explains in detail the late situation at
Fredericksburg, and the causes Of the
recent retrograde movement that Burnside
has been compelled to make. Lured over
the Rappahannock by mere show Of re-
sistance; invited to attack line of bate
ries not intended to be held--a line COM
n1anded by other batteries in the rear;
brought up by furious fire that was not
in lis anticfpatious, he found himself, st
the end Of the fight, hedged in by intreneh-
ments in front that he could not hope to
carry without n1erciless slaughter, and
BY intrenchments equally strong on
each flank, and with swift, rapidly
rising and treacbcrous stream in his rear.
We are sure that the country, as much as
it will criticise the. attack made with on1y
the imperfect information that be possess
ed, will warmly applaud the moral cour-
age and the care for his men which in-
PEELED him to retreat rather than renew an
Engagement, the result Of which was hardly
doubtful. 4 victory, which was within
the range Of probabilities, would have only
caused the enemy to fail back to ntw and
perhaps more secure position in the rear;
while defeat would have insured the
eal'ituiatiou Of tue army, and in oil human
probability, the 1oss Of the capital aud the
breaking up Of our Government. The risk
was too imminent; and the General re-
fused to accept it. He unquestionablg did
well.
It will be gratifying to our readers to
know that reinforcenents are Fastening
towards Washington with all possible
speed; that the camps Of instruction in the
Atlantic States have been broken MP; aud
that every available soldier of the Republic
is being sent forward to swell the numbers,
already great, Of the forces to whom Rich
mend will yet surrender. The Temporary
check seems to have provoked only more
strenuous exertion, the end Of which
will be, We doubt not, the pu1yerization Of
the rebel army. Meanwhile the money and
stock markets of the East show that capi-
tai feels little discouragement. The tenn
rorary excitement Of uncertainty over,
gold recedcd to its old figures solid
assurance that in the opinion Of the money

save in the loss Of men, that brief time viii
