Though times. t)o not seem propitious for obtaining fulli.fis-, mice, yet, considering that. nian is niprtal, I will before entering upon aperycids voy age, perform. my duty; to those innocent orphans and'to - alio myself. I will now giveabrief statement of the causes which led to the arrest and execu tion of Captain Wirz.• 'ln April, 1865, President, Johnson issued-a proclamation stating that.-from evidence in the posss- FlOO of the: Bureau of Military Justice,' It appeared that Jeffel son Davis was im i plicatedia tho,as,sassination of Abraham Lincoln, and for that reason.thePresideetT offered a reward of $lOO,OOO on the cap ture of the then fugitivelik Piesident of the Southern Confederacy- That testi mony has since beep _found to be entirely false and a mere fabrication, -- and - the 'sob crier Conover is now under sentence in the jail of this ci'y, the two perjurers, whom - he suborned, having turned State evidence a g ainst him, whilst the individual, 'he whom Conover was suborned has not TeL been brought to justice. • Certain high and influential enemies of Jefferson Davie, either then already aware 4 the character of the testimony of those 'witnesqes, or not thinking iheir testimo r,v quite sufficient to' hang Jeff. Davis, ex-. peeted to find the wanting material in the terrible mortality of Union prisoners , at Andersonville. Orders were issued ac cordingly to arrest a sub.gtern officer, Cap tain Ware, a p oor _ friendless , and .wounded prisoner of w ar, (he'being included in the' surrender of General Johnston;). and •be cies a foreigner by birth. . On the 7th of Mlay, he was placed in the Old Capitol Prison at Washington ; MA from that time the greater part of the Northern press was busily engaged in foriming the unfor tunate man in the eyes of—the Northern People into such a monster that it became a most impossible for him' to obtain coun sel. Even his countryman, the Stiiss Con an! General, publicly refused .to accept money. to defray the expenses of the trial ! He was doomed before be Was heard—and even the permission, tyabeheard according to law was denied . him. To increase the ereitement an giiie eclat to the proceed lag, and to inflame. still: more the public mind, the:trial took place under the very dome of the Capitol of the nation. A mil: :Lary cormniS s ilon presided ,over by one of the most.arbatrary and despotic generals in the country, was.formed, and-the pa roled pr . ': oaer °flyer his wounds still open, and so feeble that he had to recline dur lag the Vial on a sofa, oarriecrbe'fore the line. How that trial, was conducted the whole world knoivs. The enemies of gen emsity'and humanity believed it then to be a sure thing to get at Jeff Davis. They are the first charge was that of -vo - tispiracy between Wirz, Jefferson Da vi., Se - dae - 0, -- 3iostkell Cobb, It. l. Winder, and a number of others to kill the Union prisoners. The triallasted for 3 months, but unfortunatelys the blood thirsty in sugatcre not a p'ttele of evidence was produced, showin 'the existence of such h a aspiracy; yet". a - plaior Wks was found . guilty of that charged HaVing thus failed atibther effort. witsftnade. . Op the night before the execution, of theprisonera tele gram was sent to the Northern press from the city, stating that Wirz had Made im portant disclosures to, General L. C-BA aer, the well known detective,lniplieating Jeff. Davis, and that - the Confession would Probably be given t& the public. On the lane evening some, - parties eatila to the confessor of Wirz, Rev.

How many of his defamers would have done the same'? Nffilh his wounded arm in a sling, the poortikroled prisoner moun ted, two , hours lak the scaffold. His last words were that he died innocent— add so - he did. The 10th 'day of Novem ber, 1865, will indeed be a black • stain on the pages of American history. To weaken the effect of his declaration of innocence, and of the noble manner in shich Wirz died, a telegram was manu factured Isere and sentNortb, stating that on the 27th day of October, Mrs. Wirz, (who actual)y_ was 900 milei on4that day itom•Washington) had been preven ted by that Stantonian dens ex machine, General L. C. Baker, from poisoning her husband I Thus, on the same day, when the,unfortunate family lost ,their husband and father, a cowardly and atrocious at -tempt was made to blacken their charac ter also. On the next day I branded the whole as an infamous lie, and since then I never beard of 4 . again, though it ema nated from a Brigadier General of the United States Army. • All those who were cb - arged with hav ing conspired with Captain Wirz - , have since been releas'ed, except Jefferson Da• Tie, the prisoner of the American "Castle Chillon." Captain Winder was let off without, trial, and if any of the Others have been tried which I do not know, certainly none of them have been hung. As Cap tain Wirz could not conspire alone, no body will now, in view 'of that important fact, consider him gunilty,of that. charge. So much, then, for charge Tro. 1. As to charge No. 2., to:' wit : Murder in violation of- the laws and customs of war, I do' not hesitate to declare what about 145, out of 160, witnesses on . both ,sides elf-dared daring the trial—that Cap tain Wirz never murdered or killed any Union prisoners, NVith his own hands or otherwise. ' All those witnesses (about twt.lve or fifteen) who testified that they saw Captaid Wirz kill a prisoner, have sworn falsely, abundant proofs of that as sertion being in existence. The hands of Captain Wirtz are clear of the USA of prisoners of war. Ile would certanly have at least intimated to me a knowledge of the alleged murders with which he was charge - In most all cases no names of the all ed murdered men could be given, and w 4 re it was done, no such persons could be identified. The terrible scene in court, when be was confropted with one of the witnesses, and the latter insisting that Wirz was the man who killed a cer tain Union prisoner, which irritated the prisoner so much that he almost fainted, will still be remembered. That man Grey) vivore falsely, and God aloneknows what the poor innocent prisoner must have suf fered at that moment ! That scene was depicted and illustrated in the Northern newspapers as if Wirz bad broken down on account of his guilt. Seldom has a mortal suffered-more than that friendless and forsaken man. „Fearing lest this communication will he tooN i long,Lwill merely speak of the princi pal-and most intelligent of those false wit nesses, who testified to individual murder on the part Captain Wirz. -,17p0n his teStimony the Judge Advocate, in his final argument, laid particular stress on ac count of his intelligence. This \witness prepared also pictures of the alleged cru elties of Wirz, wbich_wern handed to the Commission, and are now on record, cop ies of which appeared at the time in Nor thern illustrated papers. He swore that his name was Felix de la Ratline, and rep resented himself as a Frenchman and a grand nephew of Marquis de Lafayette. After having so well testified and shown so - much zeal, he received a recommenda tion signed by the members of the Com mission. ' On the llth day of October, be fore the taking dr the 'testimony was con-. eluded, be was appointed to a clerkship in the Department of the Interior. This oc curred whilst one of the witnesses for the _defense (Dupe* was arrested in open court, and placed in prison before he had testified. After the execution of Captain Wirz some of the Germans of Washing ton recognized-id - de la Balime a deserter from the Seventh New York (Steuben) regiment, whose name was not de la Baume t but, Fslix Qeser, a native 'of Sax-. any. They went--to Secretary Harlan, and he dismissed. the impostor and impor tant witness in the liVirz trial on the 21st. of November, eleven days after the execu tion.'• Nobody who is acquainted with the Conover testimony, in consequence of whicb,the President of ;the United States Was falsely induced to pine& a reward of $1.00,000 upon.' the ..head of an innocent man, will be astonished at the above dis closures of the character of testimony be fore military, commissions..

That qoestioti has not fully been settled, but history Will tell, on whose heads the guilt for those sacrificed hecatombs of human beings is to be placed. It was certainly not the fault of poor Captain Wirz, when, in conse quence of medicines having been declared contraband.of war by the North, the Un ion prisoners died for the want Of tbesame. How often have we read daring• the war that ladies, going South, bad been arres ted and placed in the Old Capitol Prison by the Union authorities, because some quinine, or other medicines,,.had been found concealed in their petticoats I Oar navy prevented the ingress of medical stores from the sea side, and our troops repeatedly destroyed drugstores and even the supplies of private physicians in the South. Thus, the scarcity of medicines became general all" over the South. Sur geon J. C. Pilot writes, September - 6, 1864, from Andersonville, (this letter was produced by the Judge Advocate in the Wirz trial :) "We have but little more than the indigenous barks and roots with which to treat the numerous forms of dis ease to which to treat the numerous forms of disease to which our lattention is daily called. For the treatment, of wounds, ul cers; etc., we have literally nothing, ex cept water. Our wards, some of them, are wild with gangrene, and we are com pelled to to our arms and look quietly upon its ravages, not even having stimu lants to support the system under its de , pressing influence; the article being so lim ited in supply that it can only be issued for cases under the knife." That provisions in the South were scarce will astonish nobody, when it is remena bared how the war was carried on. Gen eral, Sheridan boasted in his official re. port, that, itr the Shenandoah Valley alone he burned two thousand barns, filled with wheat and corn, and all the mills in the whole tract of country, that he destroyed all factories of cloth, and killed, or drove off every animal, even to the poultry, that could contribute to human sustenance. And those desolations were repeated in dif erent parts of the South, and that so thor oughly that last month, two years after the end of the war, Congress had to ap propriate a million of dollars, to save the people of those regions from actual star vation. The atruction of railroads and other means of transportation, by which food could be supplied by abundant dis tricts to those without it, increased the difficulties in giving sufficient food,to our prisoners. • The Confederate authorities, aware of their inability to sustain their prisoners, informed the Northern agents of the great mortality, and urgently requested that the prisoners should be exchanged, even without regard to the sufplua. which the confederates ''had on the exchatTge rolls from former eltchanges, thit is, man for man. But our) war Department did not' consent to au exchange. They did not want to " exchange skeletons for healthy men." Finally, when all hopes of Str• change were gone, Colonel Ould the Con federate Commissioner, offered, early in August, 1864, to deliver up all the Fed eralsick and wounded, without requiring: an equivalent in return, and pledged that' the number would amount to ten or fif teen thousand, and, ifit did not, he would make up that number with well men. Al though this offer was made in August, the transportation was not sent for them to (Savannah) until December, although be urged and implored (to use his own words) that haste should be made.- Du ring that very perked the most of the d'eatbs at Andersonville occurred. Con gressman,Covode, who lost two sons in South ern prisonsons, will do well, if he in quires who those "skletons" . were, which the Hon. Secretary of war did not want to exchange for healthy men. Ifhe does, he will hereafter be perhaps less bitter at - mina:the people of the South. But has the North treated her South ern prisouers so well that she should lift up her hands, and cry " anathema " over the South. Mr. Stanton reports to Con gress, July 19, 1866, that of Sontheru prisoners there died in the north 26,436, and of northern prisoners in the south 22,576. What a, fearful retort}.! Over 26,000 of prisoners dying in the midst of *plenty ! Air. Stanton gives the total num ber of prisoners in, the North at 220,000, and in the South at 126,940. Suppose this to be correct, though this statement comes certainly from no impartial source,, there died of pristiners in the South, without medicines - and provisions, the fifth part, and in the north, with, med icines and provisions, the elgth part; .But i 9 the number of souther 4 prisoners in the north are probably included in the pa roled prisoners of Lee's, Jhboston'il and Smith's armies who never 'entered a Nor thern prison. if that be sp, the mortali ty of Southern prisoners in th - e - Nortb will be even greater than that of the Federal prisoners in : the South 1 • • We`used justly ti:k proclaim in former times that ours was " the , land:of the free and the home of the brave ..

A nobleand brave-soldier never permits his antagonists to be calumniated and trampled'upon after an honorable surren der. Besides, notwithstanditik the decis ion of the :highest legal tribunal in the land that military com ii'ssions are uncon stitutional; the earnest aid able protesta tions of President Johns .., and the sad results of military: commissions, yet such military commissions are again establish ed by recent legislation of Congress all over the suffering and starving South. History is just, and, as Mr Lincoln used ,to say, we cannot escape history. Puritan- I.ical hypocrisy, - self-adulation, and self glorification will not save those enimies of I liberty from their just punishment. Not even a Christain bu rial i of the re mains of Captain . Wirtz has been allowed by Secretary Stanton. They still lie, side by side, with those of another and ac knowledged victim of military commis sions in the yard the forrner jail in this city. If anybody should desire to reply to this, f politely beg that it , may be done before the let ofMay next, as I shall leave the country to return in the fall.

Our Territorial Enlargement.. The ratification of the treaty between Russia and the United States has enlarg ed our territorial limits to a considerable extent. That portion of the American' continent which Russia has sold to the United States for seven millions of dollars may be of great importance in view of the changes that must soon occur in Asia by the opening of trade with this country, and also in connection with the overland telegraph, in which the people of this country feel Such a strong interest. The location is well suited for strategic purpo ses, in diplomacy as well as war. From the fifty fourth to the sixtieth degree of north latitude, Russian America embraces the Prince of Whales Island. At the fifty 4th deg. it also takes in a narrow strip a bout thirty. miles wide on the mainland of the Pacific coast, which continues in this shape to about the sixtieth degree. Here the coast line instead of having a general direction from southeast to northwest, suddenly juts out in almost a direct gen eral line, saving irregularities of indented outline, from east to west. At this point —the parallel of sixty—Russian America attains a L .witith of about athousand miles,- from east to-west; the eastern boundary becoming identical with the one hundred and forty first degree of west longitude to the Frozen . Ocean, From south to north, it may be said to have a length of thousand miles, though the windings of the Pueific coast 'make it considerably morepn the west side—not less perhaps than fifteen hundred miles. At the nor thern boundary, say the parallel of seven ty, the width, owing to the configuration of the earth towards the pole, narrows to about three hundred and sixty miles. For one thousand miles this territory lies di rectly in front of British soil, but so far as the navigation of the rivers is concern ed, it is claimed by the British papers that England has thesame right to navigate them as Russia had; and Russia could on ly convey to the United States the rights she possessed. The Toronto Leader in noticing this point says : "So far as the legal right goes, there is, therefore, no cutting offor the British interior • posses sions from the ocean. It is no doubt true that along the whole distance from fifty four north to the Frozen Ocean, a foreign country occupies the front. This fact is however not new, though it may derive a new significance from the change of mas ters." The climate of this portion of the Am'er lon continent is about I& that of Scot land, and the productions similar. . There are yaluable whale ,and cod fisheries along the coast, and halibut and ealmoe are ta ken in large quantities and of excellent quality. The ports obtained by this pur chase and treaty will afford our fishermen advantages in the pursuit of their callings. Peel, water and provisions -can be easily obtained, sick and disabled :seamen can, receive proper care, and medical attention, and, our whale fleet and other vessels have proper depots for repairing damages acid refitting filler a long cruision the North Pacifie. These advantages, coupled with the., possible feet that the shortest and best way to reach Japan and China lies by the Northern Railroad line froni the Atlantic seabord l . will erre our people to under stand readilY tl importance Of the treaty just ratified by the Senate. —The ;appropriation bill, - as iteßassed the house, provides for, paying out, Of the State Treasury over four million dollars.

It is an evident proof of the adorable wisdom of God; that though tho, bodies of men are so similanto each o,ther in their essential parts, yet there is such a diversi ty in their exterior, that they can be readi ly distinguished -without the liability of error. .Amongst the many millions of men ex isting in• the universe, there are no two that are exactly alike ; each one has some peculiarity portrayed in his countenance, or remarkable in his speech; and this di versity of countenance is the - more singu lar, because the parts which 'compose it are very few, and in each person they are disposed according to the same plan. . ' Jf all things bad been produced by blind chance, the countenances of men might have resembled each other as nearly as balls castin the same mould, or drops of Water ouc - of the Bartle bucket; big as that is not the case, we Must. admire the infi- . nite wisdom of the Creator, which, in thus diversifying -the _traits of the lurtnan coma tenanoe; has - manifestly ha in view the happiness of men; for if they resembled each other perfectly they cpuldnot be die tinguishesr from each other;-:to the utter confusion and detriment of society. We should never be certain of life or the peaceable possession of our property; thieves and robbers would run little risk of detection, for they could neither be die u g wised- by the traits of countenance, nor the sound of their voice. , All and every crime that stains Immuni ty, might be practiced with impunity, since the guilty would'rarely be discover ed; and we should be continually exposed to the machinations of the villain and the malignity of the coward ; we could not shelter ourselves from - the Confusion of mistake, nor from the treachery add fraud of the deceitful; ail the efforts of justice could be useless, and coMmerce would bo the prey of error and uncertainty: In short, the uniformity and perfect similarity of faces-would deprive society of its most en dearing charms, ana destroy the pleasure and sweet gratification ofindividual friend ship. The variety of features, then, consti tutes part of .the plan of divine govern ment, and is a strong proof of God's ten der care over us; for it is very evident that he has disposed the particularparts of the body with as much, wisdom as he has manifested in its get al structure, and we are compelled to adMire his beau tiful and wise' arrangement in this as well as in every part of creation. Sruiai's REFLECTIO2qS Shutting the Door. Many of the highest as well as the low est traits of human character are often made known by very simple means. And very important principles in ethics, natu ral philosophy and mechanics have. been discovered:by accidents, incidents and de tails which are common in domestic life; but who would bave thought, in olden times, of consulting with a four paneled door, as a philosophic and metaphysical friend, to obtain a knowledge of the hid den mysteries and the general effects of a human mind ? During the last ten years in the winter season, according to our daily record, we have noticed the manner in which 1,000 persons who called for work have opened, shut, or not shut, our store door ; this, you may say, is a futile and a useless un- dertaking; but we entertain a very dif ferent opinion.; What the facts, and what the deduction First, out of the 1,000 persons -record ed, 355 opened the door and shut it after them carefully; when they came in, and when they went out with much noise. Secondly, 226 opened it in a,hurry and made an attempt to shut it after them when they came in, but did not, and merely pulled it to when they went ont. Thirdly, 202 i did not attempt to shut it at all, either in coming in or going-out: Fourthly,• 90 left it open when they t eam° in, but when reminded of. the fact, made ample apologyi and shut it when they went out Fifthly, 102 opened it in a great hurry, and then slammed it to violently, but lett it open when #.bey went out, Sixthly, 20 name in with "how do you_ do, sir," or " go6a morning," or "good evening, sir," and all these wentthrough the operation of wiping their 'feet on the mat, but did 'not shut' the door when, they came in , nor when they went.out.• • RmunKs.—We 'have .employa.mon out of all the above classes, Juni during that dine have .
