CASTLE THUNOER.-We suppose
there is hardly any prison in the
whole country, mote notorious from
the events of the last few years, than
Castle Thunder, in this city. It has
been used siuce the first year of the
war as a military prison for the con?
finement of evil doers of all kinds and
grades, by the Confederate authori?
ties, up to thc evacuation, and by the
Federal authorities since that time.
It may bc a matter of surprise this
morning, to some of our readers, to
know that this veteran old head?
quarters of crime and guilt is this day
to be vacated as a prison, and to be
turned over to its owner, Mr. John
H. Greanor, of this city. We are
sure he will hardly recognize his own
property. What tales of horror could
be told, if its silent walls could tell
all that has transpired within their
limits. That other famous abode, the
Libby prison, has been fitted np, and
will hereafter bo used as the general
military prison in this city. All the
prisoners in Castle Thunder will be
transferred to their new home to-day.

IMMIGRATION. -The Commissioner
of Immigration, at Washington, has
published, in pamphlet form, the laws
and instructions relating to the sub?
ject of immigration, in English,
French aud German, for distribution
in Europe. We extract some of the
questions propounded ii it to thc
several State governments:
1. What class of unskilled laborers
aro most required iu your State ano
neighborhood at the present time,
and tho average wages paid for tin
same?
2. What kind of mechanics or ar
tisans aro certain of employment, an<
the average wages of tho same ?
3. What moans, either by legisla
?ive action or private enterprise, hov?
been established to secure the ad
vantages arising from the settlemen
of immigrants in your midst ?
Thc object is to furnish those abor,
to emigrate such information ns ma;
direct them to the localities when
this labor is most in demand.

Princess Anno Murat has resigned
herself to a rich young duke, the list
having been exhausted among the
heirs of crowns. Tho Emperor Napo?
leon, who cherishes a high regard for
her, has endowed her some three
millions. Her mother was a Miss
Frazer, of Charleston, S. G., cousin
of the wife of Dr. Simms, and on her
father's side is a Bonaparte Princess,
the right divine being grand-daughter
of the King of Naples, whose wife
was a sister of Napoleon I. Princess
Amie's husband is the Duke de Mon
ehy. Princess of Poix, grandee of
Spain, and by birth a grand cross of
the order of Malta. He is twenty
four years old-a little younger than
she-and his income is $75,000 per
vear. The bridal presents had already
cost $124,000.
The New York Tribune, looking at
home, says :
To-day a black man is not allowed
a license to drive his own horse and
cart, and work for such as choose to
employ him, right here in New York.
He has had a hard straggle for the
right to ride in our city horse cars,
paying his fare like other people, and
has barely secured it, if it be. secured,
after years of insult and outrage. If
a black builder were this day to take
a contract to erect a house or store
for some one who chose to employ
him, and should employ black carpen?
ters and masons on the job, we believe
they would be stoned off it before the
week's end.
From the Concord (New Hamp?

when he wa?; received into the com?
