Return of the Bourbon Princes

Ftem the National Intelligencer.
It is known to our readers that the Prince
de Joinvllle the Duke de Chartress, and the
Comte de Paris, of whom the two last
named were lately connected with the STAFF
of General Nc Clellan, have withdrawn from
the scene of the pending military operations
in Virginia, and are about to embark for
Europe.
As the announcement of this fac. has
been accompanied in certaiu quarters with
"explanations" of the most suppostitious
character, it may be proper to state, as we
are able to do in the most positive terms,
that this return to Europe Of these distin.
guished guests, who have until lately formed
q part of General McClellan's military
family, is in pursuance of a purpose formed
several weeks ego, and postponed at much
inconvenience only from their anxiety to
"assist" at the impending battles before
Richmond. All representations which
allege that they have Withdrawn from the
United States contrary to their original
intentions, under apprehensious of foreign
intervention, or, as Others have feigned, in
disgust at the imputed "ineficiency" OF
General Mcclellan, ere wholly without
foundation. On their return to this city
from the army of General Mcclellan, they
expressed in the warmest terms their admit
ration OF that officers military conduct, ard
of the heroic bearing of bis devoted troops.
They found nothing to deplore in the cam.
paign on the Peninsula except that General
Mcclellan should have been left without the
reinlorcements which were seen to be neces.
sary in view of the forces massed against
him from all ports of the South.

Fort Darling.
From the Albany Journal, 9th.

from Inc Albany JOURNAL ssh
A letter from engineer James Perry, of
the sloop~of-war Dacotah, states that bis
vessel and another has been engaged in the
work of dismantlipg the forts on the James
River and removing distractions therefrom.
Mr.. Perry speaks Of the arrival of gunboats
specially adapted to the work of engaging
Fort Darling successfully and it is probable
we soon shall hear of its fall. At one of the
forts which he assisted in dismantling, the
rebels left eleven heavy siege guns all Of
which they blew up and destroyed. One
Of them lOO>pounder rifled gun, was so
heavy as to resist all attempts to burst it;
as last resort 3O-pounder discharged its
contents into its mouth and succeeded in
effecting its destruction.

"MARRY OR DIE"-A scamp from the
East lately succeeded in winning the affec
tons of a young lady in the rural districts
to such an extent that he finally persuaded
her to elope with him to this city. They
put up in fire style at one of our hotels as
a newly married couple Oh their bridal tour.
Yesterday morning brother of the maiden
came into their room with one of Colts best,
and coolly informed the gay deceiver that if
he was not married man in less than two
hours be would be dead one. At the
expiration OF the two hours the twain were
made one.-Muscatine (loaoa) Journal.
