will cause gladness everywhere. The
story Of bis murder is at last dis
proved, and his return to civilization is
expected to occur at an early,day. For
several years he has been prsctically
translated to those early periods of the
world which marked mans widest de-
parture from his 6rst estate. Far in
the interior of Africa lie has explored
at last the true sources of that wonder

country which in its elevation, climat-

equal of North American, and people
who are fair Completed, peaceable and
even kind to strangers from our shores

The Board Of Directors of this institution
have recently made a report, which contains
much Inter, sting information. The num-
Der Of prisoners is now greater than at any
former period, and ali of the cells are packed
to their utmost capacity. ~
By way Of shown Z the steady Increase of
prisoners for the paA four years, we give
the numbe- at tho beginning Of each year,
as follows:
Number of prisoners, January ]. 1865 -
White men, 100; colored men, 10; colored
women. Q. Total, l79.
Number Of prisoners, January I, 1867
White men, 1909; colored men, 81 colored
women, II. Total, 443.
Number of prisoners, ia luary l, 1867
White men, li9; colored men, 375 = eoiored
women, 33. Total, 527. or the total, lSs
were employed on public works, and 80 Ia

Number ofprjsoners, September 7, 1867
White men, l25 colored men, 436; coloreC
women, SO, Total, 697. OF this total, 81
were on public works, and 63l in prison.
There are also in the penitentiary Ave col
ored children, from one to three years Of age
nree Of whom were received with thsir
mothers, and two were born in prison.
A large number of the convicts are ua

workshops to their employment. The Board
therefore, in order to find employment 10
all the inmates, recommend the building o

facture of tobacco, and the making an'
burning Of brick on State account,

Of land on some navigable stream, the cana
