To the Amer dean —lntending to leave the United States for hOlllO limo, I feel it any ditty, before 1 start, to fulfill part n profuse which, a few hours before Inns death, I &sae to my unfortunate client, Captain Wire, - Who was executed at INash• ington on the 10th day of November, 1505. Protesting up to the toot moment lila inno cence of those monstrous crimes with which he was charged, he received my word, that having failed to save him from a felon's dbom, I would, as long as I lived,do every thing in my power to clear his memory I doll that the wore retolily&ne 1 wee then alrekly perfectly convinced Thathe.eaffer- ed wrongfully. Since that time hialunfor- Aunnte children, both here anti in Europe, have constantly implored 010 to wipe out the terrible Maine which now cover the name of their father Though 'lines do not seem prOpttioue for obtaining full justice, yet, considering that men IX mortal, I will before entering upon a perilous voyage„ perform my duly to those innocent orphans and also to myself. .. I will now give a brief statement of the causes which led to the arrest and execu tion of CapLain . )Virx. In April,lB6s,Pres ' TdentVaniarasued a proclamation stating thitt, from evidenoe in the possession of the "Bureau of Military Justice, ' it ap peri7ed that Jefferson Davis was implicated ' •in ihr e assa - aination of Abraham Lincoln, and fur that rmson the President offered a reward of $lOO,OOO r the capettre of the then fugitive ex-Premt tof the Southern Confederacy. That tee ony . has since been found to be entirely lee and a more fabrication, and the suborner Conover is now iinder,sentence in the jail in this city, the two perjurers, whom he suborned, hay ing towed State evidence against, him, whilst the individual by whom Conover was - entwined has not yet been brought to jee r - i lice Certaimbigh and influential eneiniee of Jeffermin ltels, either then already aware of the character of the testimony of those witnesses, or not thinking their testimony quite siilllcient to hang Jell Dit• is, expect ml to finetehe wanting material to the ter rible mortality of Union prisoners at Ander sonville. Or,ders were issued accoLijitrgly to arrest a subaltern officer, Cpwr Win, -a. poor, friendless, end wounded prisoner of war, (lie being included in the st?sintler of General Johnston), and besides foreigner by birth. On the 7tln of Maybe was placed in the OltlCapitall's limn nt Washington,y fiat. that time the greater past. of lto Northern press was busily engaged in form ing the unfortunate nest la the eyes of the Net Morn people int...such a monster that it , became almost impossible for him to obtain omitted Even his countryman, the Swiss Consul General publicly refused to accept money to &fray the expenses of the trial Ile was doomed before he was heard—and oven the permission to be beard according to law was ibmied him To increase the erciteinent and give eclat to the prodeeding,' cunt to inflame still more the public mind, the trial look place under the very I , tne of the Capitol of the nation A milita com mission, presided over by one of ilk most arbitiary and despotic genetiale in the country, was formed, and the paroled pris oners of war, hie wound. still open, and so feehie'llita he hail to recline during the trial on a sofa, earfied before the same. flow that trial was conducted the whole world knows The enemies of generosity and lut mantty belieied it then la be n sure thing to get at Jeff. Davie Therefore the first charge was 'halo f con. "piracy between {Hirt, Jefferson Daris,Sed don, Howell Cobb, R. B. Winder and a num ber of oth*, to kill the Union prisoner.. The trial lasted for three nions, but un fortunately for the blood thirst instigator' mot a particle of evidence was pr .ced showing the existence o! such aeons iiracy; yet Captain Wirt was found guilty of that charge ' having thus failed another effort warmadii. On tho night before the execu tion of the prisoner a telegram was sent to the Northern press from this city, elating that Wirt hat made important disclosures to Oeuersl L. C. Baker, the *ell known de -10011,3, implicating Jeff Davis mid dhat the confession would probably be given to the public. On the same evening some par ties came to theconTe;sor of Wirt, Rev Father Boyle, and also to me, one of them informing me that a high Cabinetp U wished to assure Wire, that be wo d im plicate Jeffcrsen Davis with the atr'oeities committed at Andersonville, his Boerne° would be commuted. He, the meesenger,or whoever he wiss,_xenanato4L.ree to intend Wire of this. In presence of Father. Boyle I told Wirt next morning what had happen ed. The Oaptaia sinply and quietly re. plied: "Mr. &bade, you know that I him ninnys told you that I do not know any thing about Jefferson Davis. He had no connection with me as to what was gone at Andersen•ille if I knew anything of him I would not become a traitor against him or anybody else, even to save my life." lle likewise denied that be had modestly state ent :whatever to General Baker.

But who Is responsible for theinany lives that were lout at Anderson•llle, and m the Southern prisons t That question hoe not fully been settled, but history will toll, on whose heads the guilt for those sacrificed hecatombs of human benign is to be lanced. It was certainly not the fault or poor Cap lair.
