FOURTH PAGll.—Dir. Russell's Letter from Cairo;
Omni Nowa.
Tux commit, sysrxii of Washington ,cor
respondence, as represented in the New York
newspapers, is one of our greatest social evils.
Nearly all the New York reporters in Wash
ington, with a few honorable exceptions, use
their proprietors for the ventilation of their
private griefs against public men. This has
done much to poison and divide public senti
ment in the free States; and in dividing it
they weaken the patriotism of the nation, and
bring discredit upon the owners of the jour
nals who permit this abuse of their columns.
Mr. limns., of the Herald, is sold out con
tinually, and is frequently rendered unpopular
by the'ealumny of a correspondent, who vents
his grief upon some public man in 'Washing
ton, or by the very frequent praise of men
who are odious to the community. Mr.
GRINCLET, of the Tribune, and Mr. RA.7ICOND,
of the Times, often find themselves in em
barrmaing and conflicting positions, by reason
of the mendacity of those who represent them
in Washington city. This practice, indeed,
has become so frequent, that many men in
Washington are pretreated from holding any
intercourse Whatever with most of the cor
respondents of Northern and New York
journals, resident in that city.
We are led to these remarks by noticing a
paragraph in the Washington correspondence
of the New 'York Tintes, as follows :
6, Harry hiagraw, it is said, is , kept a prisoner. If
the rebels' will only bold on to him it will be a
saving, to the United States. fie is one of the
Penesylvarrio soldiers of fortune who Ong - Insured
the swindling beef mmtraat, and who has had more
fobs worked through than any other man, although
a political opponent of the Administration."
Mr. RAYMOND'S confidence has bean imposed
upon by some correspondent. He is too much
of a man to endorse a calumny so fearful in
its character, and so eminently unjust to an
absent and defenceless citizen. Mr. Maartaw
is now a prisoner In the Confederate armies.
He found General CAMERON plunged into deep
grief from the logs of his brother, and offered
his services to obtain the body. The Secretary
called on General Scorr to seek his advice as
to the propriety of sending a letter by Mr.
MAORAW to the commander of the traitors, in
furtherance of this mission. General Scorr
replied that it was impossible for the Govern
ment to ask a favor of the rebels without re
cognizing them as a de facto Government ,
whereupon tho Secretary replied t' My
brother, then, must be buried where ho
died." Mr. AlLoaAw at once volunteered to
go forth to Manassas, in company with two
friends, on a pass from General Ms.asrizzn.
They determined to trust themselves inside
the traitors' lines, in the belief that their er
rand being one of pure mercy, they would not
be detained. Colonel CAMERON was a native
of Lancaster county, where Mr. MAGRAW had
studied law. As a friend and townsman of the
lamented deceased, he felt a strong and natural
attachment towards him. - His family are still
living in Lancaster, and are in great agony
because of his detention by DAVIS and BEAU
/LEG/OM The whole community sincerely
sympathize with them on account of the
disaster which befel Mr. Kaoasw In his efforts
to serve Secretary CAMERON.
In view of this statement, therefore, we
wonder whit air. litaxmoitn thinks of the sug
gestion cc that, if the rebels will only hold on
to Mr. Maolaw_ it. will be_ a aaving_tn
Unitod States." The statement relative to
the beet contract is a lie—deliberate and fore
known. The truth is Mr. MAORAIr refused an
interest in this contract when it was off.,red to
him by those who had been invited to take it
by Captain BECUATEI, of the commissary de
partment, because he believed that under the
circumstances, when no prospect existed of
communications being opened between Balti
more and Washington, the contract would ruin
all parties connected with it.
A more gallant [gentleman, upright citizen,
and devoted patriot than assay S. AiAOII.A.II

however lung he may be absent, or wbaterur

Imperial Toliriata.
Prince NAPOLEON, son of the late Jaitome
BONAPAETZ, by the second marriage with a
Princess of Wartemberg, arrived at New
York on Saturday, accompanied by the Prin
cess Cr.ornums, his wile, and, with great
good sense, has hitherto succeeded in pro
b.:lrvin his incognito. No doubt the New
York Aldermen would rejoice in the chance
of wearing =accustomed white kid gloves
and living luxuriously, as they did during the
Japanese visit, at the public expense. No
doubt, bad as the times are, the New York
(‘ aristocracy " would exult is bnteitaining
the Prince and Princess, and of overpowering
them with favors of ." hospitality "—which
are not needed, expected, nor desired.
These people have come hither to see this
country at a most important and interesting
crisis, and their wish is to bo allowed to do so,
as private persons, in the qiumegt and least
ostentatious manner. it is snobbery, and
felt-hunting, and tostlyiina to annoy them with
proffers of "hospitality" which they care
fully eschew ; and it is to be hoped that when
they come to Philadelphia, our city and the
wealthier portion of its inhabitants will show
their good breeding--by letting them alone.
Prince NaPotkow, born in 1822, is fourteen
years younger -than his cousin, the Emperor
Naporaex 111., and, in the event of the
Prince Imperial's • death, stands next the
throne in the direct line of succession, as it was
fixed on the re. establishment of the Empire at
the close of 1862. Ho is not popular, and has
especially lost favor with the ultra Liberal
party, whom he headed 'during the Republic,
by deserting them to assume the rank and
appanage of an Imperial Prince. He is not
p opular with the army; because he achieved
nothing in the Crimean war. He is master of
several languages—but that le certainly one
of the smallest performances of the human
intellect, and nearly every prince in Europe
is equal . to him in this respect. Ho showed
scanty ability during the short time of hie
embassy to Spain. He lately delivered a
forcible speech on the Italian question In the
French Senate. In 1866 he exhibited great
practical and administrative power as p re m.
dent of the Commission of the World's Fair,
held In Paris. In a word, Prince NAPOLEON
is a gentleman of average knowledge and
ability. He is fond of foreign travel, having
visited America some years ago, and having
made a voyage to the Arctic regions not
long ago.
In one respect Prince NAPOLEON is what
may be called a personal curiosity—from his
remarkable likeness, in feature and form, to
his uncle, the first NAPOLEON. This resem
blance is positively so startling that, at first
sight, every looker-on cannot help perceiv
ing it.

Tits Lessons of the Late Battle.
An easy victory at the outset of a great
campaign sometimes proves more disastrOns
than a defeat, especially if it leads Mote who
acquire it to repose overweening confidence
in their own strength, awl* underrate the
powers of their onomigui.''However much we
may regret tho, th Lesilt of the battle at Bull
Run, it is dahrheooming more and more
evident tbrt him furnished to ns admonitions
hi
wch.wil have a great effect in the future
management of our military operations, and
aid ns materially in acquiring hereafter the
success which was denied us on the 218 t inst.
It was the general opinion among all par
ties in the North when hostilities first com
menced that, on account of the careful pre.
para Hoes which had for a long period been
m oo by the insurgents to overthrow the
Government, while the loyal citizens of our
country were profoundly immersed in peaceful
pursuits, it
. was probable that in the first
general engagement our forces would be de
feated. Bat when the traitors retreated at the
approach of our brave army at almost every
point we menaced, this preconceived opinion
was changed or forgotten, and the nation was
surprised that our volunteers were unable to
drive the enemy from an entrenched and
strongly-fortifled camp, in which, considering
his superior numbers and superior position,
the odds were at leaat five to one against us.
That we came near succeeding in what was an
almost impossible and hopeless task redounds
rather -to the credit than the disgrace of our
troops, particularly when we consider that,
by the moat authentic accounts we haie re
ceived of the casualties of the day, it is evi
dent that the losses of BEAIIREOARD 7 B army
exceed those of our own. The worst feature
on our side was the disorderly retreat of a
portion of our forces, and while the enemy
were fortunately not aware of this in time to
reap the substantial advantages they might
have derived from it, they had suffered so
severely in the engagement that, mot until our
exaggerated accounts of the flight of the panic
stricken portion of our men reached them, did
they imagine that they had any cause for
boasting over the result of the battle.
Bat our attempt to dislodge them from their
strong position, though it proved a failure, has
taught us practical lessons of great import
ance. We have gained much information of
the numerical strength of the enemy, as well
as their system of warfare, and there is no
longer room to doubt that they have from
180,000 to 200,000 men, including drilled vv.
lunteers and drafted militia, under arms in
Virginia. litany agreeable but dangerous de
lusions have been dispelled. We have been
taught that, however desirable it. may be to
march of on to Richmond," it is vain to attempt
to do so until our preparations are perfected,
and an army larger than we have yet consoli
dated is fully equipped and prepared for
vigorous action. We have learned how nn.
wise and dangerous it is for public clamor to
attempt to influence the judgment of skilful
officers, and to precipitate battles at inoppor
tune moments.
In this matter we might hive taken a hint
from our enemies. The war-cry throughout
the whole South was, ct On to Washington!"..
and three-fourths of the insurgent troops who
entered Virginia from other States did so in
the expectation that they would be gratified
with a ((dash upon the capital." But when
their generals learned the character of the
fortifications by which it was defended, they
wisely restrained the ardor of their troops,
and, regardless of the suggestions of their
newspapers and politicians, commenced en
trenching their own camp in such a complete
and careful manner that it is doubtful whether,
in tho whole range of battles, there was any
ono field on which (in the absence of regular
fortifications) an army possessed as many ad
vantages as the insurgents at Manassas.
We have learned more of the defects of
our military organization by actual expert.
moat, in an hour of fearful trial, than would
have been exposed in months of peaceful in
activity, or in easy victories. And ao strongly
has a sense of tho necessity of marked im
provement been impressed upon us, that,
white all feel and recognize it, the Adminis
tration has, with commendable promptness,
indicated its anxiety to comply with the pub.
lie expectations. There were many brave
and skilful officers on the field at Manassas,
bat some who were sadly deficient in both
courage and knowledge, and whose retention
in the service would greatly impair its effi
eignev,_lt_le_evident_th=6-41.—bone
worthiness was clearly manifested will be de.
prived of future opportunities to disgrace
themselves and to dishonor a glorious cause.
The main body of our army has been en
trusted to the command of the gifted Mc-
CLxLLAN, in whose fidelity, courage, and
genius universal confidence is felt, and whose
remarkable combination of the energies of
youth with great experience in military and
civil life, as well as the prestige of his late
victories, render him peculiarly worthy of the
honors he has received.
It la now also understood that in new regi-,
ments which are formed the volunteers will be
protected from the consequences of their own
rashness, in selecting ineompetent officers, by
the War Department, under whose direction
a Board of Examination will ascertain the ca
pacity of all aspirants for military honors who,
when they fall below a fair standard of ac
quirement, will be rejected. Besides, it will
be seen that the Congressional delegations of
the loyal States have been repeated by the
President to present to him the names of such
persons in their respective States as they
deem competent to act as efficient command
ers of brigades, and, with a fall knowledge of
the responsibility devolving upon them, they
will doubtless recommend the very best men
they can select.
Palmerston Shows his awed. •
There is a Lordship of the British Treasury
vacant by the resignation of Mr.lisowsia, an
Irish member, who resigned because he was
dissatisfied with the conduct of the Palmer
ston Cabinet in nullifying the postal contract
with the Galway and America steamboat
company. To whom, of all men in the House
of Commons, has Lord P
ALKERSTON offered
this office, worth $6,000 a year 1 To none but
Mr. GREGORY, the Parliamentary champion
and mouthpiece of et the no -called Southern
Confederacy." Mr. Gulaour has refused the
office, probably from a conviction that the
county of Galway would not re-elect him.
Bat Lord PALMERBTONN having offered to
make this person a member of the British
Government exposes his own Southern pro
clivities, if it does nothing else. Hl5 conduct

orderly and exolted appearance which has been
noticeable for the past fortnight. tioldibrs have
been taken back to their camps; °fibers, who
seemed to think their duty consisted In sauntering
thrbrigh the hotel oorridora, and exhibiting their
blue and gold to the admiring crowd of interesting
young ladies who throng the Avenue, have been
directed to report themselves Immediately at their
quarters. The pass system hoc been znvieed, and
the fearful aboses viata'h it engenders will be our
rooted. It Is generally thought that the constant
treasonable correspondence maintained between
()Weans of this city and Ilenuregard, has been pro
tected by the very pauses issued for the convenienne
of our loyal people and the omeers of the Gotern ,
meat. Their indiscriminate i6BlllO has red to Many
abuses, and I am glad to know that illotlellan haa
terminated it.
I have great /wpm in our , young commander;
and yot, when I think of the poeition be wimples,
of the infinenoes which 'surround him, of the clan-,
gars which menace and the temptations which may

misgiving. There is nothing knitire fetal than the
intoxication of dattiliy, and no man to-day has
more flatterers than daorge B. McClellan, No man
can mount so high and not feel that he walks on
the brink et a precipice. If be fall from lila em

own hands, and his destiny' eeezne to be that of one
oonntry. Hie course, thee far, gives no every roe
son to:think that it will be a noble one and that
hie military career in Virginia will lead to the re
alisation of every hope we may have entertained.
That snob hopes will be realited Is zn7 moat ear
nest ancloonstrect prayer.
I trust you 'will pardon me for again alluding to
the overwhelming inaportanoe of standing by the
Union men in Virginia, Missouri, Maryland; Ken
tucky, Tennessee, and other States of the: South.
If the honor of our Government is pledged to any
one thing, it Is the duty of taking care of these
men. They give ne their allegiance, and we give
them a government, and the proteotdon of a go
vernment. It la a oontraot mutually agreed upon,
and the honor of each party is infolied in its ob
servance. The Union mon of the South have stood
ap bravely against infiIIIMOCS of the most fearful
nature. The
,gibbet has been :brought to their
doore--the toroh to their homeg--sind the dooms of
banishment bee eclat them away from all they
love, into strums and indifferent communities,
and still they remain true to the flag of their ,
fathers and the country of their birth. Can .we
neglect these men, end- still expect them to be
true? Can we reocive their alloglanee, and not
give them protection ? or clan we wonder that they
answer our indifference by abandoning our Go
vernment for one which, however wicked it may
be, yet still furnishes them with'a temporary pro
tee gen ?
— renCeottident that the Administration enter
tains the most friendly feeling' towards the Union
men of the Southern States. Illinois is bound to
Kentucky by ties of sympathy, relationship, own
meroial interest and geographical violnage. There
are few families in Northern Kentucky not repre
sented in Illinois, and few families in Southern Il
linois not represented in Kentucky. There is a
mutual sympathy between the people of these
States, whioh is very natural and at thosametime
very pleasing. Mr. Lincoln is a Kentuckian, and
has the warmest attachment for hie native State.
His estimable lady, the accomplished mistress of
the White House, le a native of Kentucky, end le
said to share largely in her husband's sympathies.
Senator Browning, of
.Illinois, the successor of
Douglas, is a Kentuokian, and feels for his State a
peculiar fondness. Thus you see the President and
those who immediately earround the President, to
gether with the members of his Administration,
feel the deepest interest in the work of relieving
and sustaining the Union people of the Southern
States. I trust that this relief may be adminis
tered in the speediest and most effectual manner.
I have jest been looking'over the names of the
°Moors who are to command the Moon reserve
regiments of Pennsylvania. Some will do honor
to the service, but there ere others I am ashamed
to see ;laming from my native State. Perhaps I
am doing injustice to then gentlemen, and, if so,
yea dealt have my apology; but I must say,
judging from what I know of their antecedents,
that they are no more capable of leading a regi
ment, or even a company, into the field, than I am
of translating Shakapeere Into the Saruierit. There

If the way of our entrenohments across the river,

i such a case, be more effectually rented from our

hortursgard, Lea, or any other of the Confederate
ommanders would, commit so gross a blunder.
The present Position of our lines across the river

lie said he had been one of those who conaidered
it important to preserve the Union In its Integrity,
and this was very important to the State of Mary
land, both from its geographioal position, and its
intereat,.evon if there were no patriotism there,
and that was the feeling in that State to day. Yet
he thought the State had bean subjected to a , poet

He referred to and spoke at some length on the
sanotity
of the right of the writ of habeas corpus,
and of the 'struggles of Sagland to secure that
right. Many persons had been arrested in his
State with no warrant of law but on the intimation
of base, unprincipled Scoundrels to gratify private
malignity on loyal, respectable individuals. The
provision of the writ of habeas corpus was pat In
the Constitution as a spaniel guard against tyranny.
De contended that the President had n 6 authority
to suspend the Writ of habeas corpus. That power
was confined to Congress,
If the plea of neoesaity Is inflialent in this ease,
the tame plea would be made in other ante, of vlo

was suffloient to put down even this great rebel
lion. He admitted that the President bad been
compelled to do things in order to save the Go

excuse, but he instilled the President, on the plea
of necessity. Bat, now that Congress had as

the Constitution warranted everything contained

minister the oath of allegiance to them. On their
refusal to take such oath be may detain them se
prisoners. Mr C. said that this was giving great
power to a commander, which might do °onside

this effort to overthrow the Government pay no at
tention to an oath. He *al tree to say that if he
was so unfortunate as to be taken as prisoner by

In regard to the making of arrests, he said there

Mr BRZCIEINDIDGE, of Kentucky, thought that
