The ubiquitous Charles Theodore, Prince of Clarendon, Major Heintzelman, et al., has again turned up; this time in the goodly city of Gotham. He appeared among the Germans there as Major Cameron, attached to Gen. Sigel’s staff. He had fought “mit Sigel” and that was enough to arouse the German’s patriotism and they shelled out to the amount of six hundred dollars. The poor knave was not content with his success, so purloined a suit of clothes valued at $44, was detected and sent to the Tombs. As that is a pretty secure retreat and one not so easy to escape from, we hope not soon to be obliged to refer to the misdeeds of this erratic young man.
