A Letter from Comte de Paris to General


.Sickels.


CLAREMoNT, Sept. II, 1862


My DEAR GENERAL have Just read the let
ter you wrote to the New York Times, in answer
to the misrepresentation circulated about our de-
parture from America, and hasten to thank you
for having taken up the pen under those circum-
stances.


Although we are accustomed to calumny, and
despise it, nevertheless it it is very gratifying to
the facts put in their true light, and our stu
alton so well understood and so clearly explained
especially by member of the army with whose
destinies we were associated during nearly a
year.


We shall always remember that campaign with
the Army of the Potomac, as one of the most in
teresting epochs of youth. 1t is with regret that
we left our companions in arms, and nothing can
be more valuable to than such testimonies of re-
membrance and esteem. need not add that our
hearty wishes still accompany them; that the
distance has only strengthened the interest we
take in the success of the great cause for which
we fought together.


Depend upon it, however ignorant and preju-
diced may be the public at large, there are still on
this side of the Atlantic some hearts who follow
with emotion the struggle of great and free ma
ton 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 stall be odious so dangerous and
precarious an institutions as that of slavery.


Before ending this letter Qor the bad English
of which I must apologize,) let me still tell yo1
my dear General, how glad 1 should be to shake
hands again with you, and talk once more with
you of your Winter quarters in that wild corner
of Maryland, or of Summer days when your tent
was pitched on tie field of battle of Fair Oaks


beg you, my dear General to believe me al
ways very truly yours,


LOUIS Phillip D'ORLEANS,
Comte de Paris.
