of the parallel hulls or keels of solid
timber, the central one of which is
much larger and deeper than the side
ones; upon these rest the decks,
meeting at the bow in a single proiec

iron. The sides are of such thickness
as TO be impenetrabIe to cannon ishot,

of the central hull, is wholly beyond

THE WAR IN FLORIDA.

We are sorry to learn (says the Nat
Intelligencer) that 'he hosdlities between
the Indians and the whites in East FIori
da, embrace wider field than we had
supposed. The Charleston Courier of
the Both ult. calls upon. the Citizens Of
that place to furnish troops, arms and am
munltion Immediately, for the relief oil
the Floridlans, against the incursions OF
the Indians, who are said to be burning,
numbering and destroying every thing
that comes in their way Volunteers
will undoubtedly march from Charleston
for this purpose. At Savannah a public
meeting was held on the 2Sth uIt, at
which it was determined that volunteers
should be sent out for PicoIata on the
very next day. General Cinch has, 1t
appears, about 300 United States soldiers
under his command. The force of the
Indians is computed to be 1900 warriors,
besides body ofabout 600 persons com
posed Of desperadoes and runaways."

HORSE THIEF EsCAPED!

NJA AAiLG I4OOAILDt
Some months since. villain who cali
himself Benjamin johnson, was arrested
Tor horse'steaIing, in Tuscarawas count,
and committed 10 prison. The iaiI Of
that county being old and insufficient
johnson was' few weeks ago, removed
othe Jail ofthis (CarroII) county for safe
Keeping On Monday last (he lth inst
IN the early part of the day, it was disc ov
cred that our prisoner was among the
missing. Johnson is described as being
q dark visaged man, about five leet-ten in
height-bis hair is black, and, Dhen he
escaped, his face was profuseIy orname
tied 10y atormidable pair of we'll. cultiva-
led whiskerS. His clothing consisted,
chiefly. ola steel.mixed box coat, dark
Tound"bout, grey pantaIoons, and fur
caP,(seaEslnn.) Johnson is supposed to
be abonta5 years of age, and, beyond all
doubt, Is a pfacticed villain.
We have eaquired into the circumstan
ces OF this escape, and learn the follow.
Ing facts; which we state for the lnforma
tion Of our neighbors in Tuscarawas.-
There are four cells ia the lower story Of
The jail OF this countv-iwO on each side
Ofa passage. The entranc into each of
the cells is secured by very strong door;
and that into the passage, is secured by
two doors-one made of large bars of
iron, and the other of wood covered with
iron. Johnson was put into one of the
cells; but, there being no other prisoner
in the Jail, he was permitted, during the
day, to move about, at pleasure, from one
cell to another. On the morning Of the
llth inst. his breakfast was taken into
his apartment, as usual-and the person
in attendance left him safe and sound
and locked the outer door-leaving the
inner doors unlocked, as the custom was.
When his meal was taken in at noon,
johnson had made his escape-leaving |
some parts of his shackles in the cell. |
BY what means he succeeded in escap. |
ing, is matter of conjecture. The bet
ter opinion seems to be this: A member
ofthe sherIff's family had occasion to go
into one of the unocuped cells, to attend
10 some domestic duty, between the break
fast and dining hour; and, It is supposed,
while this person was engaged ia the
prIsOn.the outer door having been for the
Hnomentlelt t&nIocked, johnson availed
himself ofthat moment, and fed. Our
Sheriff offers reward of $50, and has
used every other ordinary means for the
apprehension Of Johnson, but as yet with
out success.
