The Prince Imperial and his Imperial
Towels.

L.
The Emperor's little boy, eight years old,
has been i'll for SONS days. and Ms in such
cases s-eGIlei03-3saERals-n . -neRer tel the truth,
there has naturally been much anxious con-
lecture about the nature and gravity CT his
illness. This much is certain, that it was
serious enough to pos pone the Emperor's
departure for Plom6ieTes, which was fixed
for Saturday last, and that of the Empress
for Fontsineblesu, where she with her son,
was TO remain during the Emperor's sb-
sence. First of sll, it WAS given out that
the imperial Princes 'tslight iodisposition"
had delayed the removal Of the Court one
or two days. On Sunday we were told
that the Emperor would certsinly go swsy
or Monday and the Empress on Tuesday.
But the Moniteur yesterday, while speaking
of the child's indisposition as "slight," said
that, on account of it the departure Of their
Msjssties WAS postponed for 'some days
in other words, indefinitely. That an
nouncement had bad effect upon the
Bourse.
This morning the semi official Coaastit1-
tiOnHeL said that the health of the Prince
was completely "re-estAblished, but the
official Moniteur only went so far as to say
thet it was "almost" so. This evening
the MomiteaIr du Soir, wishing, no doubt,
to Put stop to the commentaries Of the
public, occasioned by the discrepancy,
brings itself to adopt the Constitutional
expression, that the heir to the throne is
completely cured" 1t does not, however,
say when their Msjesties are going to the
country. And, although the Pays says
they will "probsbly" go tomorrow, such
an announcement is no authority. Il is
quite plain to me that the lad must have
been much worse than is admitted. Nc
thing can be more obvious than that if he
were only slightly indisposed, it would
have besn far better TO have transported
him to the velvet lawns and cool shades Of
Fontsineblesu than to have kept him swell
tering in the Tuileries ell these hot days.
A boy of eight, who cannot take an hours
journey in a carriage and four, snd sn ex-
press train on summers evening, must
be in very bad way. l have seen let
ter, in the handwriting of q well known
editor of a government paper, which says
the little prince has been "tormented for
some days by violent pain in the bowels"
Ifhe were to die g Tremendous shock to
confidence would be given here.

The steamer Mariposa brings New Or
leans dates to the 29th.
The Nstamorss Monitor of Frontiers of
the 22d contains the details of the defeat
of Cortinas by Lopez. 1t appears Lopez
was in guard Of 8 convoy, and Cortinss,
surmising that the convoy contained q
large amount of specie, determined on an
attack. After skirmishing awhile, Corti-
mass whole force, numbering 600, attacked
and we're repulsed. Another attack was
made and sgain failed. Cortinas' men
then became terrified and fed in every d.
rection. OorLinas lost not less than 100
men. Those taken prisoners by the I'M
perislists were instantly shot. The I'm
perialsts had only five or six slightly
wounded. One of their Lieutensnts was
captured and killed. The convoy then
proceeded to Monterey in charge of por-
tion of Lopez force, and the remainder re-
turned 80 MstsmorAs.
The Matamoras RaDchero of the 2Si
says that among the rebel leaders steering
for the City of Mexico are Generals Kir-
by Smith, Price, Wilcox, Magruder,
Walker, King, Preston and Lesdbetter,
Colonels Flournoy and Bsnnon, Governor
Allen and Governor Moore. There were
still at Monterey Generals Shelby and
Hindman, Colonies Sscket, Broadwell and
Ridley, Governor Reynolds, Clark and
Murray, the latter very i'll.
There is a great deal of sickness among
cur troops and General Steele and three of
his officers are down with breskbone fever.

NEW YORK, August Z.
The Herald says that South Carolina
movements indicate that it is the intention
OF the National Government to keen a
wholesome check for season yet on the
natural secession and rebelliols efferves-
eenee of the chiYslry Of that State. Gar
risons have been placed in all the princi-
pal interior towns, much to the disgust of
The Palmetto inhabitants.
The troops used as gsrrisons are chiefly
colored troops.
1t will be remembered that previous TO
the capture of Richmond propositions we're
made that considerable amount of money
should be raise1 and deposited with Gem
eral Grant for presentation to the national
soldiers who should first replace the glo-
rlous old ensign Of the republic over that
city, In the then contemp plated assault on
1t. The matter, however, was not proseeu-
ted to the extent designed, and only $500
were raised. Besides, Richmond was not
taken by assault, but by forced eVacution
OF the rebels. In consideration CT this fact.
General Grant decided to divide themOney
among the three soldiers most conspicuous
for gsllsntry in the first assault on Peters
burg, which was in effect an assault on
Richmond; and on the recommendation
OF their corps commanders he has awarded
it to the following brave men and ad-
dressed esch OF them an autograph letter
to that effect: Sergeant David w. Young,
Of the l39th Pennsylvsnis Infantry, 9th

What wade Hampton Thinks.

The telegraph this morning gives an
abstract of letter from Wade Hampton
70 South Carolina friends, in reference TO
reconstruction. It will be seen that this
doughty fire eater, the very incarnation Of
the chivalry who we're bound to die in the
last ditch, is SO delighted at reconstruction
under President johnson and Governor
Perry, and 80 pleased al the full power
which the terms of these gentlemen give
to the rebels, that he is fsrvent advocate
of reorganization, evidently believing that
the objects of rebellion can practically be
secured under the Union. he coclly advises
his friends TO return to their allegiance,
and in the coming election to select no
Unionists but strsight-out rebels-not
merely men who have talked, but men
who nave fought and bled for rebellion.
This advice has been followed to the let
ler, in advance of its reception, throughout
the south-in the Richmond election, in

The papers from st. Salvador mention a
remarkable incident at the defeat of the
followers of Barrios. Csbsnas, finding
himself completely defeated, wished TO
initiate Melgsrejo, in Bolivis, against Bel
"a He mixed among our troops with
boldness and asked for Gen. Xatouch.
Having found the latter, he fred pistol
quite close TO him, but his aim failed, and
Xatouch then fred his revolver with bet
ter success, for he wounded his enemy in
the breast. A Colonel and two aids also
fred at Cabanss wounding him in the
breast and arm. Hitherto all was NOR
tai light, but now comes q marvellous in
cident. We are gravely told, and that
without the narrator taking the trouble
even to express surprise, that at this crit
icsl time, Csbanss disappeared. This is
like the Homeric heroes, who were
snstched away by Venus or Minerva when
in danger. "Let not q god intervene if
possible" Is the advice Of Horace TO the
epic poet, and if the writer had borne this
in mind, and explained that even fin the
ranks of his foes Cabanss had many friends
to make confusion and carry him of all
suspicion of glamour, ss the Highlander
says, would nave been removed. However,
the defestsd and dying leader is next heard
of on United States ship of war, which
was stationed at the port. The officer who
brought the dipstches of Gen. Gozslez is
positive that he saw the dead body of
O4banas, for having died on board the

John surrntl 1n Canada.

The telegraph infJrms us that John Sur.
rat is harbored in Canada by secesEionistf
whoareindignSnta at the death of his mother.
! This excuse is evidently offered by Montreal
special pleaders, to cevsr up the sympathy
felt by secessionists there for murder and
murderers. Let US zee how valid it is.
President Lincoln was foully sssassinsted
on April l4th. John Surratt was then, 0 T
within forty eight hours thereafter, in Can
ada. Mrs. Surratt was justly hung for
completely in the murder, on July 7th,
three months after, and scarcely thirty day
ago. And yet, all this while, John Surrstt
has been 'secreted in Canada by secession
ists indignant at his mothers exc
cutiOn." One would say that that
phetic. One would wonder, too, that it
was not manifested sgsinst-insteAd of in
behalf of-the unnatural son, who, if his
mother was innocent had the power to
prove if, but who permitted her to die
while word from his lips would have
saved her.
The truth is that these Canadian seces-
siOnists we've in league with Surratt before
The murder, and knew that the murder
was contemplated. Surrstt fed to them, as
10 an assured place of refuge, and they pro-
tect him, and raise clsmor about his mo
theirs innocence, simply because they we're
accomplices in the murder, and feel bound
to back up the murderers.
