AN AMERICAN EDITOR AND AN ENGLISH
PRINcE.-The editor of the Utica Herald,
who is travelling in Africa, recently visited
the ruins of Carthage, and in letter to his
paper, dated Tunis, January 6, relates the
following: st
"While was examining these vast rel
les of the past, my meditations were dis
turbed by the arrival of the young Prince
Alfred of England, and Il lot of rolicking
lieutenantS and midshipmen, whose ship
waslying at anchor i'll the Bay of Tunis.
Travel is great leveller, and | sublimely
condescended to treat this beardless sprig OF
ropalty with just as much respect as if he
hadn't been mere second son of a Queen,
or | an honorary member of John Brown S
Tract Fishing Association. Ash happened
to know good deal more about the ruins
of Carthage than either his Royal Highness
or any of his companions, played the part
of cicerone for the party. AS | may not
have occasion to refer to him or his again,
| may state that Prince Alfred is quite a
pretty boy; small and frail for his age,
which is fifteen, and apparently modest and
intelligent He had lots of questions to ask
about America, and said he would like
hugely to visit it. Whereupon | appointed
myself committee of one on a Reception OF
Distinguished strangers, and pledged him
a salute of thirty guns fiom the gallant
'Forty-ffth, besides an enrolment in the
ranks of the Walton Fishing Club. should

officers that he is really popular among his
shipmates, and is not disposed to take adj
vantage of his station. The other day be
called one of the mates IAN old fool for
which piece of impudence he got a box on
the ear that sent him Keeling and blubber-
ing to his cabin. He complained to his ser

the business men of the towns along the line
Of canal from Terre Haute to Toledo, have
furnished means to open the canal for the

Mr.. Williams, informing the office here,
that company of business men along the

s@ The city of Racine, Wisconsin, one
of the most beautiful on Lake Michigan, has
repudiated its honest debts. The city au-
thorities made arrangements for paying the
interest on their bonds by levying the pro-
per tax, but some of the citizens sued out
an injunction to arrest collection-which
injunction has been granted by the. Court
of the State. Steps have been taken by the
bondholders to enforce payment.

The above exhibits the disposition and
the condition of all the assets of the road
which have been under the control of W.
Carpenter & Co., or Willard Carpenter.
Out of these assets, Carpenter & Co. have
received, in available means, the following,
viz
Cash from the company S25OOO
Sl33, 900 of bonds disposed at an average OF
20 cents the dollar. S6,450
Notes and cash for lands ................. $4,000
si26, 45O
The total amount of actual means the firm
of Willard Carpenter & Co. have derived
from the assets of the railroad company,
sold and transferred by them, is as above
stated-$l26, $50. The other assets have
been used as above stated. A portion of
the bonds pledged as collectual for the notes
of the contractors, have been sold by the
holders and sacrificed for ten and fifteen
cents on the dollar. The bonds of the city
being virtually repudiated, and the title to
lands on which the real estate bonds were
predicated, being in dispute, the sacrifice of
these assets was inevitable.
While realizing only the small sum of
$4,000 from the assets of the company
the coutractors-W. Carpenter & Co.-have
gone on and completed, according to the re-
port of the engineers, nine-tenths of the
work on 55 miles of the first division of the
road. The expenditures on this work-as
every practical engineer who has been over
the road will declare--could not have been
less, under the most favorable circumstances,
than $3.50, 900. The difference between the
amount received from the assets of the COM
pany, and the cost of the work-nearly all
of which has been paid to the men who
did it--has been raised upon the private
credit of the contractors, and by the indivi-
dual contributions of Willard Carpenter, de-
rived from his privateresources and borrow
ed by him on his private notes from his
friends. His individual advances exceed
$lO3, 900 and there is mortgage besides
upon his property for $4,000 to secure
liabilities incurred by other parties for the
railroad. Besides these sums there are out
standing about Sl7o, 900 of Willard Carpen-
ter l. Co.'S paper, for which he is sued and
will be obliged to pay as far as he can. No
other person beside himself has yet advanc-
edone dollar to the road except as a stock
holder; his partners did not advance. No one
but himself, as far as he is aware, has per-
formed days labor for the road, that has
not been paid for. HIS has devoted near
four years severe and incessant labor to the
road, to the great neglect and injury of his
private business, for which he has not re-
ceived enough to pay his travelling expenses
on journeys made for the road.
1t is a cause of deep regret to him that 81
many of his fellow -citzens-some of whom
have suffered severely from the loss-shoul'
have made so unfortunate an investment
But his own sacrifices are convincing proof
that he was sincere in his assurances c
the ultimate success of the work HI
originally took nearly S6e,0e0 in it
stock; as contractor he has advanced an
