A Prophecy Fulfilling Itself.

There arc many prophecies which work out their
own tulhlmen, and there many superstions which
operate just as decided and important results rs il
they could be traced to a rational origin. 1t may be
reckoncd among the rarcst if not the noblcst forms
in which the human genius manilests itself, TO utter
such prophecies and to plant such supcrstitions. We
propose to direct the attention Of our readers to one
of the most remarkable cases of this kind, where a
prophecy created superstition, which is evidently
cooperating for it's fuillment, that we have any
knowledge Of that is to be found, perhaps, in his
tory. 1t is referred to by Gibbon in his history of
"Thc Decline and Fall of the Roman Empirc.''-
Speaking Of certain naval expeditions of the Russians
against the Greeks, in the eleventh century, he says
"Yet the threats caamitips of Russian war
were more frequently diverted by treaty than by arms
In these naval hOsttics every disadvantage was on
tho side OF the Greeks; their savage enemy afforded
no mercy; his poverty promised no spoil his mpen-
erabe retreat deprived the conquerer of the hopes of
revenge; and the pride or weakness of empire in.

Escape and Capture.

The Alton Ul.,) Telegraph gives the following &C.
count Of the attempted escape of Of the comvi lets
at the State Penen,iary, and their recapture: eyes.
terday, as the cOnvicts returning their wCk
shops from the dining room in the prison, four Ot
them. named Cooper, from Gacna, and Ranford,
Chalk and Douglas, from Chicago made AN effort tO
escape by placing long plank against the new est
part OF the north wall Of The prison. upon which they
mounted to the top OF the wall; and four of them
jumped off and up the hill. The other was shot
while on the top OF the wall by Of the guard and
jumped or fell back into the yard. His name is Coon
er. The wounded convict Is not dangerously hurt,
although two balls took effect in his back and one in
his arm. His wounds dressed by DR.. Metcalf
the Prison physician. assisted by DR.. Arnin, who
think he will recover in week or two.
The cOnyicts were all engaged in the blacksmith
shop, and had knives concealed upon them, which
they brandished at those who endeavored to arrest
them. Several shots were fired at them by the
guards, and it is singular some Of them were not kill

A number Of citizens, hearing the alarm, immedi-
ately started in pursuit, and after rapid chase suc-
ceeded in capturing three Of them. The first was
overiaken near the residence Of Mr.. S. WISE one Of
the 'essecs, and exhausted and faint from the loss of
BLOOD he willingly surrender ed himself to his pursu-
ere.

was knocked down by couple Of stones, and easily

The third was captured near the residence of Mr..
c. Trumbull. He also had knife in his possess sson,
but was secured before he had opportunity Of using
it.
The fourth, armed with a knife in one hand and a
stone IN the other, who was in advance of the rest,
ran al 'ne top oi his speed the bluff and though
noty pursued succeeded for some time in eludinp his

ARTHUR MORRISON, one Of tho victims Of whom
we speak, had young and f'ndly attached wife and
"a child five years old in Illinois, the place Of his
birth. lie had written to her to come ont, and sent
her the necessary means to do SO: and about two
months since this devoted woman left her home and
friends, with heart buOyant with hope, to meet the
object OF her love and iealty. About month ago
she arrived with her child on our shores, and then
for the first time learned that her husband had been
entced to Join the iIIibusters. She inmediatcl,
wrote to him. informing him of her arrival, and beg
ging him 10 come to her, and abandon his III, ,sla-

instantly set about fulfilling his duties man and
citizen by abandoning the camp Of the fillibusers,
and starting for San Francisco. But he ''councd

der to effect this MORRISON entered into cOInbIna-

This determination was carried into execution with
little delay spossble; but again the cmssarcs Of

brought in, sentence Of death pronounced unhcsat
