THE ENGLISH CAPITALISTS.

Tho above caption has headed SO many
newspaper articles and paragraphs during
several weeks past that there Is danger the
thOugbtless reader will fall into the error of
supposing there are no capitalists except "the
English capitalists. The efforts made to
induce English capitalists to invest in our
railroad stocks are, within certain limits,
very laudable, no doubt, but there is no
danger that in the future we shall not have
quite as much foreign capital mixed up in
our stocks as will be wholesome for the coun
try. And while we welcome Sir MORTON
PEro and his friends most cordially, ard
make no doubt of reaping substantial bene-
fits from their examination of this country
and its railroad business, we would not have
our people carried away with the idea that
We are dependent upon foreign capital, or
that the obligations are all on the side Of
those gentlemen abroad who patronize our
stocks and securities.
The capitalists invest their money where
they think they can make most money by
it, and while our country was much indebted
during the rebellion to the German capital.
lists who invested SO largely in American
bonds il is patent fact that they reaped an
immense harvest of profits by the operation
Their investments made when gold was high
est yielded them one hundred per cent, or
more, and although we honor them for their
sagncity in believing that our government
would succeed in crushing the rebellion and
would redeem its bonds, we cannot forget
that we have been filling their pockets, The
German capitalists beat tho English capital
lists hollow in making money out of United
States bonds and avoiding losses in the rebel
bonds, and we consequently feel more CRATE
full to Germany than to Great Britain in this
matter.
Now that the war is over and the integrity
of our Government vindicated before the
world, there will be no lack of foreign capital
seeking investment here, because our rapid
ly developing resources offer the fairest op.
portunities for making money. There will
soon be no necessity for going a-begging for
patronage; it will Aow towards our rivers and
praires and mines as surely as water runs
down hill. From England and the continent
they will come seeking American investments
quite largely enough, for it would not be well
to have any of our great interests too much
under the control Of foreign capital.

NORTH CAROLINA.

II seems that the dispatch sent by the
President to the Governor Of North Carolina
published in the Republican on Friday last,
caused much CONSERVATION in Raleigh. The
President-who is one Of those mon who
have not, according to the New York Times,
common sense enough to know, as the Times
does, that nobody can ever be foolish enough
to expect the general government to permit
any portion of the loyal people to be saddlod
with any portion Of the rebel debt-writes
to Gov. Holde J Bthat the Convention must
establish q constitutional provision which
shall effectually squolch all efforts TO that end.
Mr.. Worth, the present State Treasurer, who
has q record as a Union man which will serve
him we'll in future whose course in 1850 and
1861 was quite different from that Of Mr..
Holden-it had been urged should be run
for Governor. The Unionists were to go
for him because of bygones, and the rebels
were to support him because he was pledged
to support the cause Of the assumptionists,
as those gentlemen who were in favor of i'm
posing the rebel war debt of the State upon
the people of North Carolina are pleased, in
mild language, to torn themselves, and
this whole matter of the rebel debt was to
be left to the legislature which was to be Sc
lected under this worthy and patriotics
scheme.
This was the course which had been agreed
upon in convention-and that remarkable
and inestimable body was ut the moment
about adjourning-when the messenger an
nounced q communication from the Cover
nor, and the dispatch of the President was
read. We refrain from reporting the details
of the scene which followed, out of regard for
the feelings of the people of North Carolina,
and therefore give only general account of
the proceedings. Tho whole body Of the
rebel force, together with some Unionists
who still retain the prejudices of the old
State rights democracy, denounced the mes
sage in the fercest terms. One gentleman
lighted his fellows with the sound Of his
cheering voice, forthwith moved that the
telegram be adopted, and expressed his
opinion of the rebel debt in much the same
terms that Mr.. PIERPoIST is wont to
adopt in speaking of national concerns.
He was speedily consigned to the Gala
boose, and finally, after much debate, ex-
tending through three sessions Of the conven-
tion, the ordinance prohibiting the assump-
tion of the rebel debt by any future General
Assembly was adopted, and the nicely laid
scheme Of the old-timo; secessionsts for the
election of Mr.. Worm, was defeated. The
people Of North Carolina, as well as the
Democrats of New York, feel that they are
considerably enlightened as to the policy of
the President.

Freedmen's Afrairs In Alexandria.

At Alexandria, Virginia, in 1858, the Pro-
vost Marshal, during time when smallpox
was raging in that city, impressed large
number of colored persons and set them to
work cleaning the city, &C.; but owing to the
negligence Of the person in charge no means
we're ever taken to pay them. Tho Freed
mems Bureau has now made up rolls for the
time those persons labored, and the Score
tary of War will probably order payment on
them. The amount thus due to freed people
in Alexandria is from 50, 500 to 1000.

well known as an Iowa editor of much abili.
ty, now Librarian of the Department of the
Interior at Washington, is rapidly approach
ing completion and will soon be given to the
public.
Mr.. Ingersoll entered on his important
work soon after the capture of Fort DOnel-
son, being melted thereto by the glory there
achieved by our Iowa heroes as the "bravest
among the brave" From that period to the
present he has devoted his entire energies,
when not employed in official duty, to the
collection of materials and collating of data
and facts from which to give history
worthy of our noble State and the proud
part it has borne in the contest for Union
and Liberty. We learn that the me-
terials from which this history is COM
posed embrace the official reports of every
campaign and battle in which Iowa troops
have been engaged; all the obtainable ac-
counts Of such campaigns and battles given
by correspondents Of the Iowa and other
newspapers; all the regimental histories and
biographies thus far published; narratives of
officers and soldiers especially furnished for
this history, and large collection Of maps,
&c, giving particular location of every skir-
mish, and route of each march.
There can be little doubt that the indus
triOus historian will succeed in producing a
work which will be an honor to our State
a nd such as every Iowa citizen will wish to
own.-DaUempOrt Gazette.

MY DEAR SIR: was so much impressed with
our conversation Of last Tuesday, that returned
Immediately to my room and wrote down such
Of the points made as could remember, and
having pondered them all the way home, am to-
day, more than ever, convinced that, II corrected
by you and returned to me for either public or
private use, II will go far to promote good uu-
derstanding between you and our leading men.
II will also unite the public mind In favor Of
your plan, so far at least as you would carry 1t
out without modification.
You are aware that do not associate much
with men in political life, but rather with those
who, representing the advanced moral sense Of
the country, earnestly labor for the good Of our
people, without hope Of, or even desire for office
or other immediate reward The latter class
desire earnestly to understand your plans, and,
" possible, support your administration.
think the publication ofyour process Of re-
construction, with the reasons for your faith In
II, will commend itselfto their candid Judgment,
and, as told you, inspire our whole Northern
people with confidence In your administration.
The report is meagre and unsatisfactory, but
think It conveys, for the most part, the spirit OF
our conversation. Therefore, although the whole
tenor Of your words led me to believe II was not
intended to be kept private, have refrained from
answering the specific inquiries Of anxious
friends, yahom met on my way home, lest |
might, fS some way, leave a wrong impression
on their minds. Truly your friend,

TIE CONDITION OF WIRz.-0n Saturday an
examination was made as to the physical condi-
ton Of wrz. DR.. Ford, physician at the Old
Capitol, testified that he had attended the pris-
oner since June last, and frequently examined
his right arm, which was much swollen and in
famed, and liberated In three places. The arm
appeared to have been broken, and portion Of
the bones were dead. He did not Know how
tion was such that he could not knock a man
down or lift heavy instrument with his right
arm without innicting injury upon himself, the
bones being diseased, (necrosis,) and his arm
being so seriously liberated.
DR.. Ford also examined the prisoners left
shoulder, and found there q large scar, and one
half Of the main muscle Of the shoulder gone
only the front portion being left. The effect OF
this was 10 prevent perfect elevation Of the arm
above the head, but had no material effect in the
infection Of the arm in other directions as, for
instance, he could move 1t from the elbow, and
was capable Of striking out with some force from
that point. Two fingers Of the right hand are
slightly contracted, the result Of Injury to the
nervous system. Both legs Of the prisoner are
covered with dark brown sores, as though they
had been at one time liberated. There were also
traces Of scurvy in his system. He was much
prostrated, and in his present condition could
not do much violence to any one. He was scor-
butte, and had been so for some time. He might
push person down, bnt could do no greater act
Of violence without iuaieting great injury on
himself
witness only spoke OF his present condition,
and did not know how he was year ago.
The prisoner, by permission Of the Court, made
the following statement;
In 1863, his health beginning to fail, he asked
and received a furlough, and went to Europe,
and after an examination by several surgeons he
had his arm operated upon at Paris, aud the doc
tor there told him that all the dead bone had
come out. He afterwards went to England and
shipped for this country; and while on ship
board, his wound broke out afresh, as 1t was
now.
DR.. Bates, who was examined, said he con-
CURED entirely in DIR. Ford's opinion. He had
seen the prisoner several times at Andersonville,
but had never examined him there. He had,
however, noticed that Captain wirI was deficient
In the use Of his right arm, but did not know the
cause Of Il.
