The Old Capitol Prison.
A late Washington letter says

w
This prison which has played so important
a part during the war, is rapidly being yaca-
ted, and at present there are but Sixty-six
prisoners confined within its walls, all of
whom have been tried. hey are mostly en-
listed men, some Of whom have been in con-
hnement over q year. About dozen Of
them are under sentence to be executed or
shot, but the execution has been deferred
from time to time. few citizens, some of
them from Fairfax county, Virginia, for deal
ing in stolen horses, are also confined here.
The most noted prisoners are Captain K. r..
Winder, Of the AniersOnville officers, and
CAPTAIN Henry u irz, the former comman-
dant of the prison al that place, who is now
being tried.
There are al present fifteen prisoners in
the hospital, among them Winder, who has
been i'll for the past week with bilious fever,
but is now recovering.
The wife OF WirZ has now pass from the
War Department to visit her husband, and
has two interviews per week with him, al
WAYS in the presence Of General Baker, last
ing half an hour. She paid the first Of these
visits on Thursday afternoon last. The splr-
itual advisers he asked to see him, Reverend
Fathers Hamilton and helan, have not yet
called on him. Wirz is fixed very comiorta-
bic; has q room 10 himself, and until recent
" partook of the prison fare, which is much
the same as the army ration, with the eXcep-
ton that plenty of vegetables are added but
at present he is on hospital diet. He is to-
day somewhat better than yesterday. he,
however, eats but little, and is necessarily
occupied with his case, frequently being en-
gagged in writing until past midnight.

A RIVAL OF MIR. PEABoDY.-Mr. Johus
Hopkins, IA citizen of Baltimore, worth
twenty millions OF dollars, has made a
gift, endowing the Johns Hopkins Hos
pital, for poor white aud cOlored per-
sons, and the Johns Hopkins Institute,
for educational purposes, embracing
also poor white and colored children,
to have separate apartments. Mr..
Hopkins is still living, and deter
mined, like George Peabody, to see,
whilst living. the good effects of his
benevolent charities. Mr.. Hopkins Is
bachelor, member of the Society of
Friends, and about Mr.. Peabody's age.
1t is expected he will make many more
large charitable beguests whilst alive,
that he may realize the good his vast
means may do. The belief is that he
will eventually donate his magnificent
country place for public purposes, and
still project other grand charities. His
present income is nearly or quite three
hundred thousand dollars per annum.
Whilst he has many relatives whom he
will leave independent, yet q vast
amount will be appropriated to benev-
Olent purposes. He Is still an active
business man, and one of our most
useful citizens, having been instru-
mental in greatly improving the city
Of Baltimore.

Hon. C. NJ. Harris, his son-in-law, some
time since. Mr.. Jack owned a quarter
of land, great many years ago, and
he sold il to a person for few hundred
dollars, contrary to the wish of his wife;
she declined TO sign the deed, and never
did. The best part of Chicago stands
ON that land. Mrs. Jack, therefore, is
now the owner of a dover interest in
one hundred and sixty acresin the very
heart of Chicago" IL also says the in
come for the rent of this land, during
the lifetime of Mrs. Jack. must be large
that her right of dover, during her nut
ural life, is undisputed, and that, after
her death, her heirs have no claim and
that, already, several parties from Chi
cago have made overtures for the pur-
chase of her claim.

The COnsplrafOrs Mt the Dry TOrtuERs.
The Washington Star publishes the
following extracts from private letter
dated at Fort Jefferson, Florida, Au-
gust IS: ..
"Ihere are but few prisoners here
now, forty-tive in all, and two-thlrds of
them, If not more, are United States
soldiers, who have been sent here for
various crimes, principally desertion.
The conspirators are lodged like the
other prisoners in the second tier OF
classmates. Their quarters are cool, dry
and airy, and command quite as pleas
ant view as there is. They manage
to live pretty well, with their govern
ment rations aud what their friends
send them. Arnold is employed as a
clerk, and seems satisfied. SpangleF
and O'LRughlin work at their trades as
carpenters. Mudd works now in the
carpenter shop, and is getting quite
handy with the tools. They all are In
excellent health, but are a little thinner
than is natural for them. They have
the benefit of the library, and Mudd
and Arnold read some. On the whole
they are much better of than they
would be anywhere else, L believe GER
tainly they are better OF than any
prisoners i ever saw. A reporter visit
ed the post this morning, and Mudd
expressed some fears that he would
publish something concerning them,
and said that they would much rather
be left alone, as they already suffered
good deal from newspaper accounts"

APRoPos ofthe recent Cabinet excite
ments, good story is told how little
mistake produced n great, not TO say n
ludicrous, conlmotiOn i'll the minds Of
certain prominent "plRce hunters" 1t
seems Mr.. Seward wished to see Mr..
Blacque, the Turkish Minister, and
sent for him. By some mistake the
message found its way to the Office of
Hon. Jerry Black, chief among the eX-
pectants OF Cabinet portfolios. He was
ont of town, and the message was
opened by his son. As Mr.. Seward
does not write very legible hand, the
conclusion was arrived at that break
up in the Cabinet was imminent, and
that Mr.. Black was wanted for consul
tation. So he was telegraphed for in
stnnter. He received the message all
right and got here next morning, took
carriage with Marshal Lamon, and
rode to the State Department and found
ing, who said, "Walk in, gentlemen,
ri be back SOON" The visitors waited
three hours and Mr.. Seward didn't
come. They thought it curious, but
called again next day. "Wel, Mr..
Black, what can do for you said the
bland Secretary. 81 came in response
to your dispatch" said Mr.. Black.
''Dlspatch," )" "dispatch, - said Mr.. Sew
ard; 1T sent you no dispatch" And
tinkling his little bell, he caused inqul-
ry to be made, when the error was dis
covered. An explosion followed, and
Mr.. Black disappeared. This was the
foundation for the report that Mr..
Seward had telegraphed to jerry Black
to come and fix up the broken Cabinet.

EUROPEAN CRoPs.-Mr. Orange Judd, /,
of the American A0rieuIturfSt, writes
from Amsterdam discouragingly about
crops in Europe. He says:
This year was in Great Britain a
month and saw but two slight showers,
one of them in London. l was in Paris
twenty-ons days; on the 10th of April
we had more or less rain, and 1 have
seen but one fair day Eince leaving
there, that is to say, it has rained at
least twenty-four days out of the last
twenty-six, and / hear that it has rain
ed almost constantly in England dur
Ing the same time. In the ride OF two
hundred miles from Paris to Brussels i
saw fine crops, but most ofthe growing
grain was prostrated by the driving
storms, and the large amount of cut but
ungathered, bleached hay. showed how
severe and long-continued had been the
wet weather. The same state OF things
noticed all the way from Brussels to
this point / judge from what have
seen and heard, that the damage toithe
present years harvest will prove very
great. It can hardly be otherwise than
that this great disaster to the crops in
Europe Will materially Increase the de-
mand for onr own breadstnffs, which i
Judge TO be unusually promising from
the few extracts from home Journals
and occasional kilograms see.

Rneet OF the PPesIdeut,s Course.

The Springfield, Mass, Republican,
OF August goth, says: "Nobody has
been able to account satisfactorily for
the strange course of the President.
We suspect that he has been secretly
bought up by the Republican National
Committee, to help in the fall elections.
His "swinging round the circle" last
year secured splendid triumphs for the
Republicans. This year they were
somewhat anxious about the tall cleo
dons until the President came to their
aid. His conflict with Gen. Grant and
the Department Commanders has now
made everything secure. There is fresh
talk about impeachment, but the truth
is we cannot spare the President from
the arena just yet; there would be 8
fearful state of political indifference if
he did not "come down" to disturb the
waters occasionally. Keep him In the
White House another year, and the
Republicans will be sure of the next
Presidency, whoever is their candidate.
