This company paid iri is*;| dividends on a cap ital of $2,000,000, amounting to thirty- eight per cent, in cash, and fifty per cent, in paid up stock. On its capital, thus in creased to fro.000,000, it has already de clared, in 1805, cash dividends of twenty- six per cent., and twenty-five per cent, within the coming four months.

Mr. Barker is a year or so older than Gen.

The Herald’s Washington special says: The discipline nnd regulations of the Old Capitol prison continue to be as strict as before, and the food, correspondence and reading matter brought to the prison ers is scrutinized so closely as to entirely shut off any improper communication from the oatside. Among tho plans in vogue for conveying money and messages from external sources to the prisoners has been that of secreting in packages of smoking tobacco the object to bo trans mitted. This was detected early. Un derscoring worffi in books at long inter vals, so when taken together they em body sentences, is not unusual with tlio prisoners when about to return books to their friends. This latter invention occa sions considerable labor to tho officers of the prison, as it necessitates a careful scru tiny of all books that outer or leave the cells. The sanitary condition of tho Old Capitol’s occupants is very good. Tbo artesian well at Chicago is repre sented to be the finest in the world : In December, 1863, tho hole was com menced with a diameter of five inches. In January following, when at the depth of sixty-five feet, the tools got fast, and the weol was abandoned. Another was start ed in a few weeks, and when at the depth of seven hundred and cloven feet, an arch of rock suddenly gave way, and the water burst forth in great volume and force. Tho hole had been drawn into four and a half inches at the bottom, through which orifice the water flows at the rate of 000,* 000 gallons per twenty-four hours, at a uniform temperature of 58 degrees F., and in the words of tho president of the com* pany, "is clear as crystal, as pure as tho diamond, free from all animal or vegeta ble matter, and from nn injurious sub stances, and its composition is such that it is better adapted for drinkiug purposes, and for health, than any other water known.” A correspondent of tho Cincinnati Com mercial writing from Jackson, Miss., says the Legislature in, session there ccntly groat)* “cqwyed on account of a negro soldier being sent to the If on <o with egro soldier being sel a criminal who wished to sen one of lh members. Directly the members espied tho darkey, who had taken up bis position at tke door waiting tor his prisoner to get through with his business, a cry was heard from one, "We have been insulted?” an other, "it was intended I” while another, was for "Froserving the dignity of tho House.”' The Speaker declared upon his word of honor, and by tho high position he occupied, that "This Houso shall not again suffer such an indignity, particub ly from a United States soldier."
