MONROE EDWARDS-.PARTI
OF HIS LAST ATTEMPT TO ES-
CADE

The N Y. Courier and Enquirer has long
and circumstatial account of the second attempt of
Mon,ur Edwords to escape from prison 1t seems
this time he resolved to sacrifice the life of every
person in the Prison Hospital, to effect his escape.
On Thursday, J. W. Edmonds President of The
Commissioners, was at the Prison, to whom some
of the convicts made known the purpose Of Ed
wards and his fellow consprators to fire the pris
on and escape
They were Immediately searched, and on Ed
wards were found "a long sharp pointed knife, a
pair of spurs made OF leather. with shoe tacks for
the Rowels; a heavily loaded leather thong, and
quantity Of locofoco matches ALSO letters writ
Ten with pewter piummet and on wrapping pa
per from his coconspirators This occurred on
Friday. 1t appears that he has two correspon-
dents in this city, (who are known to the oficers)
and they were in the practice of leaving letters
for Edwards in the windows of the shop where he
was at work, which are accessible to any person
at night"
The plan was TO fire the prison, when their
friends without would rush in and carry them
off to soop waiting for them in Tappan Bay,
when they would pass over to Rockland county
steal horses and escape.
| The difficulty was to fix the time. this they
attempted to do by laying grains of wheat and
corn on the wldows-a gram of the former stand
ing for day and the latter for a week The
wind scattering these, it was finally resolved to
carry out the plan the first night that a strong
southwest wind was blowing and seize the sloop
of the prison for their purpose, The reason for
selecting a night when the southwest wind was
blowing strongly was that the wind from that
quarter would carry the flames from the coopers'
shops directly on the roof Of the hospital and chap
! el.
On Friday the sloop came up before strong
southwest wind, and fears being entertained that
the attempt would be made that night, and extra
guard was on--,hree kegs Of powder placed in
the chapel to blow i,up if should catch fire, that
1t might not communicate with the hospital, and
the beds of the sick convicts arranged so as to be
removed at moments warning The night,
however, passed quietly and in The morning mr..
Lyndcs had Edwards brought into the Keepers
room, who Immediately confessed al-namcd his
accomplices, and begged pi,eously for mercy.
No punishment, was inflicted, as Edwards had
lately manifested some feeling on hearing of the
want and misery he had brought on bis mo.

WINDSOR COUNTY AWAKE,

We are truly pleased to learn that the wings of
Windsor County arousing themselves from the
dsgraceiul sleep that stole over them previous to the
last regular election and are determined on Tues
day neat to wipe out the stain which their apathy
has brouget upon the fair fame of their heretofore
gallant county. and once more place the seal of
Their condemnation upon those who seek 10 win
them from their long cherished principles.
This is as it should be, and we hope that such an
effort will be made, as to justify the hopes of all
true wings throughout the State. 1t will indeed be
source of deep modification 20 the wings Of Yer
mont if the event shall prove that they canno, elect
their candidate in the strongest ,ohig district in the
Stale, whether in consequence ofleihargy pIodnc-
ed by over confidence. or the result Of nexcusable
personal preferences. Much has occurred since
our last annual election TO strengthen the hope Of
all good wings and urge them on in the good fight.
We to be sure went into the last contest willis, our
mountains were eohoing the plorious of tri-
umph borne from North Carolina and Tennessee
but then, the cheering news from Pennsylvania and
Ohio had not been heard--Georgia had not rung
the notes Of Her victory, and MARYLAND since them
has Ratified her gallant invitation to the wings OF
the Union.' Shall it be said while these demon
STATIONS are showing US the onward march oil our
glorious cause, that Vermont! falls back ia her
cause Of well doing !! or that she refuses do her
whole duty to the country and herselfl Wings of
Windsor county, it is for you TO answer. Upon you
devolves the duty of wiping oa the only spot that
at present delaces the otherwise fair erection OF
Vermont's glory. Will you fail 10 do it!'

COL. RICHARD NJ. JOHNSON IN VERMONT

COL. RICHARD NJ. JOHNSON IN VERMONT
The "IIero Of the Thames" in passing through
Vermont, has received every demonstration of re-
spect from the Green Mountain Boys in every place
he visited, without distinction Of party. At Mont
peler he was received by the Governor and both
houses OF the Legislature, assembled in the State
House. The Governor addressed the ,car-uorn
reteran in short concise speech, Ethan Allen Ike,
to which the Colonel replied in a manner eminent
~ characteristic of the man. We publish both
speeches on our first page.
In every village between Montpelier and BuIling-
ton, large numbers assembled TO pay their respects
TO the gallant Colonel. At Richmond he was re-
ceived in an enthusiastic manner. About 20 young
men, mounted on horseback, formed an escort and
conducted him to the village, where he was heartily
cheered. AT Burlington, arrangements had been
previously made 10 give old Tecumseh KILLER a
cordial reception, which is emnen,ly characteristic
of the inhabitants Of the place. Col. Thomas, mar
slial OF the day. with escort Of gentlemen on
horseback, accompanied by band of music, met
the Colonel short distance from The village aud
conducted him 10 the Court House Square, where
he was addressed by I. Folleit, Esq, to which the
Colonel replied in quit e lengthy speech. He was
then conducted to the American hotel where he
dned with The committee and citizens generally
After the cloth was removed, toasis were given in
abundance, and great many good speeches made,
as usual. The Colonel was called up. and after
expressing his thanks for the honor showed him.
&c, said he feared he had escaped the deadly
scalpng knife of the Savage, TO be killed by the
Kindness of The Green Mountain BOYS
/ A,the urgent request Of the company, the Colonel
gave them brief history ofthe battle oflhe Thames,
which we take from the True Democrat, as follows :

about 20 miles into the encmy's country, and
