Horace GPeeiey,.

The editor of the Trt6ase has gained what he has So eagerly sought-an infamous notofiety in Con- gress 1t would seem. from the Washington csrres- popdsnt of the N 0. Courier. He says:
 alt is not to be disguised that Mr. Horace Greeley has managed, during his short service in Congress 10 concentrate upon himself aggregate of bitter active aud Virulent personal hostility the part of Inc members, without distinction of party, an bun- dred fold greater than was ever before manifested towards a snefnber of the House. Others have, for years been notorious for active efforts 10 compass reforms conaected with tte pay and mileage Of members, Inc book abuse, &c. vel no one of these has managed to forfeit the persopai respect of the whole House and reap hus in its stead such curses as a crowd is apt to bestow upon rabid dog The reason why Greeley is being denounced by the whole House. without half dozen exceptions as q char etan aud scouadrei arises from the fact that in his editorial assaults The honesty of bis fellow mem. bers nc resorts to lying b create his desired impressions with as little scruple as he Knowingly enoeavors to create false impressions in the heat of political canvas. He fails 10 recognize any obi gatons to deal honestly in what he says concerning gentlemen with whom he associates daiy y, and who treat him as they treat ali others, Is entitled to spect and frank courtesy. He has forfeited their respect, having induced them to believe that he would sooner be srrsigned at the bar of the hoase for petty larceny than fail to make sori of noise in line three months for which he was sent here. find that most of Inc members believe him aetuated most by desife to make money the woman of l fame does--oBF of his iher) own shsmr, being willing to be pubicly'braaded y the House for d liar and scouadrei. fl he caa by that means draw public attention to himself, 10 in daee more persons to take his paper"

Attempted Escape or fPrisoncrs-Three Men
 

On Saturday morning last, conspiracy was catered ato by eiga; prisoners in the Penilcntiary near this place; aaa, but for the determined stand md courage exhibited by the superintendent, Nr Bfodie, would doubtless have succeeded in making their way out. The plan 10 break through the meat house, ihe door of which opens into the yard where the prisoners are confined. and which would afford protection from the fire of the guard, while with axes, hammers, or such implements as were suitable. the back blanks of the house could be cut or driven of. Mir. B. suspecting from sorae cause that such an attempt might be made, passej rouod 10 the outside of the house, prepared to meet the prisoners. h short time the effort was made, aud one plaak tern half cff. when MT Blodie pre- sented loaded pistol at the head of the man nearest to him, and toi4 him he would kill him if he pro- ceeded an inch In the meanwhile the guard, who had taken the alarm, rushed forward and fired into the house.
