The Prince Is Joirvile, it will be re
mernbered, hhl history of the Peuinsular
Campaign (PbIished In the Free Trader a
month go)k,entioned with others, two
particular inst,ces in which Mcclellan was
foiied IN taki"Richmond, by interference
from "ashingtt These were, first, when
the enemy wertdriven from Yorktown
McC!eiians arra,e mcnt was, that Nc
Dowell should adsnc. from Frederick .
burg and cut of the retreat TO Richmond
This was preventetby q counter orGier
frem Washington, anthe rsbels esca ped.
Secondly, when MCCLELLAN was prepar,
to make bis assault on Richmond, he had
arranged, to insure s.cess, that Nc
Dowell should appear onllis right. This
also was prevented by order from
Washington.
The statement Of the Prin. de Joinyi!ls
is borne out to the letter by to testimony
of Gen. Mcclellan in the Mcl,we,l cour,
of inquiry, and the letters an, orders O,
the President and Secretary ofWar pro
| duced BY Gen. Mcdowell ia Connection
Herewith
1t had been perfectly arranged. a.d Gen
Mcclellan set out for the Peninsula on Tn,
distinct understanding. tina. he shouN hay,
the corps of Gen. Mcdowell in the asau!
upon Richmond, and in his testi,non, h,
says: | have no doubt-for il has eye
been my opinioD-that the Army Of III,
Potomac would have taken Richmond hat
not the CORPS Of General Mcdowell bee,
separated from it ii is also nv opinion
that had the command Of Gen. Mcdowell
Joined the Army Of the Potomac in tn
month of MAY by way of Hanover Cour
House, from Fredericksburg, We woul,
have had Richmond in a week after tn
Junction. i was on the 9th of Nav tina
zen. Mcdowell received the order of tn
secretary Of war directing him 10 co-oper raj,
with Gen. Fremont and not with Genera
Mcclellan. and his reply 10 Il was TIL,
Presidents order has been received and l.
IN process Of execution. THIS IS c.UsHIx,
BLOW TO Us.
The President and Secretary wal hae
taken the conduct ef the war in Nirrinj:
out OF Gen. Mcclellan hands and assumed
IT themselves. The immediate conseouen
ces were. the disasters the Peninsula
Pope disaster in from. of Washington a.
rebel invasion of Maryland, the loss of ten:
thousands Of lives. tho sacrifice of untold
treasure, and indefinite proloHgaiion o.
the war
The charitable opinion is that the PresI
dent was the mere passive instu ent o.
the Secretary ofwar and his associate mar
plots and conspirators to deprive Mcclellan
of the honor taking Richmond. as he ha:
since been their passive instrument in the
removal Mcclellan from the command Of
the Army OF the Potomac.
And thus 1t is that all the stupendous
interests of this vast country, and the great
experiment Of republican government, are
made the sport of abolition consprators in
and about the administration at Wash
inyton.

Except a cash on Franklin, by Gen.
wynkoop and few other light ski'mishes,
everything has been quiet in Tennessee
since the affair at Huntsville The rebels
are concentrated chiefly at Murfreesboro,
and evidently mean to fight there. JEFF
Davis paid them visit last week, and
promised to reinforce them from the east
Their strength is from 10000 to 10000
Rosecrans has army enough to thrash
them, but is said not to have provisions
enough to justify him in moving. The
Cumberland is still too low to get provis.
ions by the river, and the Railroad is in
such danger of being cut off that but
small trains at a :ime are ventured upon
that route. Morgan is known to have
gone north of Nashville, and may fal! npon
the railroad aay day.

Western Virginia.

The bill mentioned in our last as having
passed both houses of Congress for tho
admission of Western Virginia into the
Union as a state, still awaits the signature
of the President, and unless signed within
few days, must sleep It's death in the
Presidents pocket The destrucsives'
are growing exceedingly uneasy, and have
already commenced in dead earnest to
apply the pressure" to which the PresI-
dent has hitherto always been found to
knuckle down in the end.
That the bill is palpably unconstitutional
no one presumes to deny. The Constitu-
ton SAYS mo new State shall be formed
or erected within the jurisdiction Of any
other State, nor any State be formed by
the Junction of two or more States, or parts
OF States, without the consent of the le-
gisla,ures of the States concerned, as we'll
as of the Congress" The Wheeling legis-
Ia,ure never pretended that it represented
the whole of Virginia, and if it did, its
claim would be absurd that it can also
represent part of the state. Seward and
Judge Bates are committed on paper
against this bill, and the President by I'M
plication in a hundred ways. Its approval
by the President will be equivalent to =
proclamation that there is no purpose to
restore the Union, Tor that with Virginia
thus divided j. isnsossitle- and that the
war is waged 10 otii.erate state lines. grasp

NORTH CARoIISA.-It has been alleged
that the new Governor of North Carolina
is possessed of decided Union tendencies.
His recent Message. shows quite the con
trary, though he is evidently not among
the most loyal of jeff DAVIS adherents
inasmuch as he is so bold as to deny the
right of the rebel Congress to impose su-
preme dictatorial powers upon that arch
traitor.
According to this Message Of Gov Vance,
a condition of lawlessness and anarchy
prevails in North Carolina that surpasses
all our former ideas; and it is also stated
that popular demonstrations for the Union
and Free Labor are Increasing, and the
universal cry is for peace.
