The Federal congressman in limbo.

We ind the following notice OF the Federal
congressional prisoner Of war at Richmond in
the Enquirer of the lst
Poor ELY.-Prison life agrees with the Hon
orable Alfred Ely, NJ. c. Of New York. Three
weeks ago we saw the living portrait of the cap
tive Congressman in a framework Of prison bars,
and We thought OF him as the man in the play "
Thought Of Richard ye Thrd that he " had not
that cheer and alacrity of mind which he was
wont TO have" The honorable didn't then ap-
pear to have been in good condition either; he
was quite wau and as thin as Yankee. We
looked upon the same picture, with its former
surroundings day or two ago, and feel com
PEELED, by the Importance Gf the information, TO
chronicle the fact, that the luckless Representa-
tive Of Rochester, has considerably Improved in
health, looks, and spirits He has actually
grown fat, and was as merry on tho occasion of
our visit as a cricket, Whisl is, we believe the
highest recognized type Of mbonnded merri-
ment
Congressman Ely is not, however, entirely con-
tented. His chief and frequent complaint is Of
AN unwhOesome odor, which he has detected in
the prison, tlom which we infer that, despite the
great vigilance aud watchfll care of the prison
officers, the captive Yankees are sometimes neg
lectful OF their compulsory habits of personal
cleanliness. The Hon NJ. G. has another lectic
source of discomfort He doesn't think he has
been fairly treated by the United States, and be
does think republics are ungratefnl. He is in
clined to regard it as especially, and peculiarly
hard, that Abe Lincoln should permit one 10 lin
ger in captivity who voted, without so much as a
moments hesitation, for every measure proposed
by the administration 10 "eTtIsh ont the rebel-
lion" while his release could be obtained by sim
ply recognizing" the Southern Confederacy, or
hy admitting that they are beligerents His ease
is certainly one of great hardship. Poor Ely

Lord Lyons ON thc United States PasspOi


From the London Official Gazette, Sept. l3l
Extract of a dispatch from Lord Lyons to Earl
Russell:
WASHINGTON, August 81 have the honor
to transmit to your lordship herewith copy OF a
notice from the State Department, which has
appeared in the newspapers this morning II
declares that no person viii be allowed to 20
abroad from any port in the United States with
out a passport from the Stale Department, or a
passport countersgned by the Secretary of state /;
and that no person win I've allowed to land in the
United States without Il passport from minister
or consul Of the United States, or (if a foreign
er) from his own government, countersigned by
the United States minister or consul. This no
tice has been issued without any previous COM
mUnication on the part Of the Secretary of State
either with me, or so far as know, with any of
my colleagues, nor has it yet been officially an
nouncedto to me.
The London Post remarks upon this that it
is a most uucivil and dsTespecliul act, and We
infer that this is to be attributed 70 the extremely
hostile views which Mr. Seward has always en-
teriained toward England-feeling, that are not
likely 10 be- modified by the freedom of speech
which prevails in this country, and which may
have some influence even in the Northern States,
unless Mr.. Seward should follow mp his passport
system by prohibiting Ile importation of English

Later from lIcxicO---Pronunciam in
lIntRmoras.

The Fort Brown, brownsville, Iexas,) Flag
of the 18th ult, has the following:
An election was held for governor Of the State
Of Tamaulpas IN June, which did not result
satisfactorily, and a new one was ordered to take
place on the 27th Of The same month. Messrs
SeTna and Guerrero were the contestants, the
first being the candidate of Gen. Caryaial, the
Messrs Trcvino and OF the Roio parry, who were
out Of ofice. Mr.. GperT,ro was supported bv
Gov. Cara, Gen, Garcia, aud the Crinolinos,
" h0 were in Ofhce. Mr. Sarna won the second
race. and was daily declared TO BE- elected by the
Legislature ia session IN Victoria
On the 5th instant, OF thoIeabonls, the defeated
narfv came to the conclusion that fraudulent
votes had been poIled by Gen. Csrvaial. and that
Il was not n fir election, and they decided that
they would not submit to the vcrdict Of the bal
lot-box. An appeal has consequently been taken
10 the eartridaa-bDX and the baYOnet Mata-
rnoras is being fortified and placed IN condition
70 defend Itself against any and al enemies.
The main argument in the matter, as fur as we
have been able 10 gather it, depends upon
charge made against Gen. Carvajal that he is a
traitor because he sought TO sell bis country to
the Americans il 1851, and fhathe is stil friendly
with the Texans "The ashes Of the DESTROYED
building and the cries Of the widows and or
nbans that were made IN the CarYajal war, still
cry aloud against Carvajal, and demand bis head
as an atoning sacrifice" says the Progessisia,

The ,vinan~ soup IEoase in Isal,in,ore.


A correspondent of the ST. Louis Republican
furnishes tine following interesting description of
this munifcent private charity, lately suppressed
by the Federal authorities:
This Winans soup house is, beyond doubi,
the greatest private charity on record; fully
eight thousand persons, and sometimes ten thou
sand are fed with good wholesome soup and a
quarter loaf of bread every day. There are
eleven large boilers of nearly one hundred gal
Ions each of soup made up, and it is distributed
in quantities from two pints to two quarts, to
each family, according to the number of mein-
bers. The distribution commences al 9 o'clock,
and for one hour only the families holding green
tickets are admitted. This is a delicate arrange
ment by which the holders OF those tickets, Who
are Of the better class of paupers-rcduced from
comparative affiuence-are not thrown among
the comm0ner class of mcndicants--whieh latter
hold red aud blue tickets, and come respectively
between ten and eleven and eleven aud twelve
o'clock
The colored people go in the basement The
soup is distributed by the two sisters Of the late
Mrs. Winans, with number of assistants, and
they make this their pious duty every day on
their feet three consecutive hours The building
was a church opposite Mr.. Winans mansion, on
West Baltimore street The soup is made in
shed adjoining, aud is conveyed by tubes to
large receiver in the basement where it is dipped
up into half gallon cans, which are carried by q
dumb waiter to the upper floor, where the distri-
button is made | am told the cost is estimated
at $500 to $1,000 per month, being the interest
on 100000 10 $800,O00
Mr.. Wnans has engaged nearly all the shins
and rough meat adapted for soup that the butch
ers can furnish daily, and with the vegetables
and other condiments, makes soup good enough
for any table.
But this is a more lengthy account than had
intended to give you Of this charity, commenced
in an unpretcnding way by his late wife, and now
80 literally enlarged by him in compliance with
the promise be made her ON her death-hed, not to
let it languish. Mr.. Winans is the individual
who made q handsome fortune by his contracts
with the Russian government some years since.
His wife was a Russian lady, who, while resi-
dent of Baltimore, annually expended from $780,
600 10 S5900B in charities, without any parade.
Hen funeral from the Catholic cathedral was at
tended by thousands Of the poor, who truly felt
they had lost a mother.
