with what success, the sequel will show. Since
his successful escape from the "Od Barn re-
Gently, the eyes Of the warden and guards have
been constantly on him. Some few days since he
commenced his operations by cutting an outer bar
Of one Of the windows in the north front Of the
building. After which, his skill was tried on the
bolt connecting the inner and outer door of the
cell in which he was confined, the head OF which
he succeeded in removing in mastery manner
such only as an adept in the business could have
done. His movements were well watched, and
he was detected in this, his second enterprise and
he now finds himself in condition to appreciate
the blessings of liberty. A number OF the imple-
ments used were found, and taken care of by the
warden.

The Duelio.-The police Of this city, together
with The United States marshal and his deputies,
have. for several days, been on the look out for
two North Caronians, who, il is said, had left
their homes for the purpose of settling g an affair
of honor" on the celebrated field Of B,adensburg,
or on some other duelling ground. One of the
parties was seen in Washington last Friday, but
by the time Secretary Dobbin received tele-
graphic dispatch, informing him of the intention
of the chivalrous gentlemen, he had changed his
quarters, in order. probably TO elude observation.
Having no i'll will towards the suspected bellige-
rents, we in charity suppress their names.
Since writing the above, we have ssen the fol-
lowing in the Alexandra Gazette. For aught we
know, ii may be description OF an encounter be-
tween those southern gentlemen:
"A large crowd was attracted, on Sunday after
noon last, 10 lot northwest Of the town, just out
side Of the corporation limits, which, it is said.
was TO be the scene Of a dnei. The parties stood
forth, the ground was measured of, pistols pro-
cured and actually fired! No damage, however,
ensued; and, after conside rabe talking, the diff

lion, amicaby adjusted, and the crowd dis
persed There was great deal of laughter the
occasion, and the finale seemed to be source OF
amusement and good bumor. The citizens living
in the neighborhood of the place of combat were
very much asionished at the whole affair"

loss on our side Of about 400 killed and
wounded, and an equal loss on the side Of the

The next official dispatch received was one

This dispatch also came through Belgrade. 1t
is as follows:
"The allied armies yesterday attacked the po-

hour and half before sunset. Nothing could
surpass the bravery and excellent conduct of the
troops. The position was very formidable, and
defended by numerous artillery Of heavy -calibre
Our loss, regret 10 add, is very considerable, but
no general officer has been wounded. The main

spirit Of enterprise in the Great West commensurate with
its mighty resources and which is destined to make it
empire whose commercial and political influence viii yet
command the respect and the attention Of the Govern
ment."
The connection is made by of the Ohio and Mis-
sisspp Railroad at nlinoistown to sandova where the

distance Of thirty feet from the surface and is pro-
nounced by judges to be very superior article Its
location is such that it must eventually afford i'm
business to the railroad at the time it offers
to the capitalist rare opportunity for profitable in

The Republican says
