Wlrz Scraps i.I History. The New A'ork World, in criticising J udge Black s defence of Stanton in the Ualaxy, introduces the following incident: “Nor is it amiss here to state a fact not generally known, but susceptible of j roof,. that when, on the trial oi Wirz, tiudgo O'uld, the Confederate Commissioner of Exchange, came to Washington as a witness under sub plena to prove the facts we have sta ted. Stanton sent him word that if he did not return home at once his parole would ho determined. lie went away and Wirz was hung !” To which we would add the addi tional fact, not generally known, that General Hubert E. Lee and General 1 owell Cobb were also subpoena'd and ordered to Washington as witnesses for the accused, but lif e subsequent ly met enroute by dispatches from the government ordering them not to come on. Gen Cobb got as far as Savan nah, and, receiving his dispatch turned back. The prosecution had both these gentlemen rejected as wit nesses on the ground that having en gaged in rebellion they were personally infamous and not to be believed on oath ! We may also stato as an interesting fact in this connection, that General Cobb, who was in command at Macon during the year 1864, bad he been al lowed to reach v\ asbiitgtou, would have testified that upon receipt of a very large number of wounded Con federates iroin a recent battle, more than could be accommodated in Ma | con, he wrote to Andersuuville to have l quantity of lumber that had been col j iectod there sent up immediately, to ! be used in the construction of temp.o --! rary hosp.itals. Wirz refused to let it yu, allegiug that lie hud been trying long an.l had procured it with great difficulty in order to shelter his prisoners. W’e nad this circumstance from Gen ! era!

Fogg and assistants to make a pre liminary or experimental survey from j Albany to this point, crossing the Southwestern Railroad, and going di rect to Eufaula. It is said the route North of the Southwestern Railroad is impracticable, ic, lc. This wo will believe when we know it has been tested There has never been a line run from this point direct to Eufaula. —then why say it is impracticable ? We are among the number who be lieve that the running of the road South of us will damage Dawson to some extent, but do not expect the Brunswick & Albany Railroad Com ’ pany to go to additional expense, sim ply to accommodate the people of Daw son . We believe it will bo to tho in terest of tho Company to run to this place—cross the S. W. It. It., and take a direct line to Eufaula. There is a way of knowing whether or qot it is practicable, and that is to put the instrument on the line. We ask that "much of tho road officials, and if the report should be unfavorable, we will surrender our opinion with the con sciousness of having done our duty to our city and to ourself. If the Company think it impractic able to mako tho survey, what says Dawson to aiding the enterprise ? It will be tod late to cry after the milk is I spilled. So it will be too late to mako an effort to get the road here after it is located. \\ hat says Dawson—do you want the road ? If so make some manifestation to that effect.

The fruit is now ripening and being harvested in some of the States. It is a political bastard and will not be fathered by auy man or party, in five years from this date. State Etoaci Invikligaiing Coat, isiitlee. This Committee has boen in session in Atlanta for some days, tho Atlanta papers publishing the proceedings, which so far lias not attracted much attention. The whole affair is a farce. If tho officers of tho road have mismanaged, misapplied proceeds, or gone outside of their duty in any par ticular, the same reasoning that caused them to violate the rules and their consciences, will keep said violations forever dark from the world. From the statement of ttie Treasurer it will be seen that the Road is in debt to him $41.(38 05, which shows that they have very poor book keepers, or the Treasurer a very liberal man to advance so much ifloney for the State.

Emigration Statistics. As supplemented to the remarks we have recently taken occasion to mako in these columns, the following statis tics of emigration from Great Britain and Ireland in fifty-five years from the year 1815 to 1869 inclusive, which we find in the Insurance Monitor,'' com puted from the public records in Lon don, will be interesting to our read ers : “Total number of emigrants in fif ty-five years, 0,576,070, of which 2,000,000 and more came to the Uni ted htates. If we suppose these 5,- 000,000 to be worth on an average SSOO to the country, and that is cer tainly a small estimate, they added $2,500,000,000 to our wealth.” Again, from the National Review we have these equally interesting statis tics taken from the twenty-thted an nual report of the Commissioners of Emigration at New York tor the year 1869: “Total number of passengers land ed 307,454, of whom 48,465 were cit izens, and 258,989 were aliens. Os these emigrants, 97,605 were natives of Germany, 66,204 of Ireland, 41,- 090 of England, and 62,090 from all other countries combined. “The principal points of destination were: to Illinois, 38,213; to New York, 85,810; Pennsylvania, 32,135; Wisconsin, 27,003. Two thousand three hundred and twenty-seven Mor mons arrived during the year. “The Labor Exchange procured employment, in the year, for 74,055 immigrants, t f whom 5,694 were me chanics; 17,250 agriculturists and un skilled laborers : 438 skilled female j laborers; and 11,633 house servants. Yet the demand for labor is greater than the supply. “Os the immgrant farm laborers, the majority, and especially the well- i to-do-class, proceed at once to the > Western and Northwestern States. Os tho immigrants for whoni the La- I bor Exchange procured employment, i 27,816 could read and write, while 7,- 139 could not.” There is ample foo 1 for reflection in these statistics, and we commend them to the rerious consideration of our Southern people, and especially to those of foreign birth, who have it in their power to turn a portion of this stream of immigration into our own State, by a judicious system of organ ized societies for that purpose. The Germans are moving in the matter. What are our Irish fellow citizens do ing towards this great and desirable 1 accomplishment ? What are the South i ern men doing to encourage our Ger man and Irish fellow citizens in the avork ? In climate, we have at the South almost every variety of the! Temperate zone—from the mountains to the soacost. In soil we have, with-1 out exception, every variety. And in products of mines, agricultural sta pilcs; water power for manufactures ; railroads for transportation ; and sea- j piorts for commerce, we could main-! tain ourselves without uny external aid. All these advantages are to bo developed. For this, the element we need is population. —Savannah Depub- j Mean. TlicGronsid Broken.
