ably reached q; an early hour on Sunday morning.
The point at which be stepped OF from the tavern
stoop was observed and the track OF his boot IN the
sand, from thst spot to the place aforementioned
clearly ciscernible but beyond thst, nothing can
be heard or seon Of him and il is presumed that he
has secreted himself in the woods, or he may have
msde bis escape in from that section of
the State.
Officer Devoe knowing well the style Of boot that
Baker wore, and the size and shape of his foot says
that the track exactly corresponds. The description
Of bis size, shape, walk dress features, actions and
other peculiarities concerning him, given by those
who saw him there, correspond with Bakers appear
aDce-are such cause Officer Deyoe, who kner
Baker well, to believe that he is there. II stated
that be had slight wound upon his nose and one
upon bis cheek which Officer Devoe no, aware of;
bu, which wounds Bakers physician has said that he
has upon his face.
There lave been very clear trsces of Baker from
Jersey City TO Bergen Point, and it is probable ths
be was rowed from Bergen Point to the shore near
Amboy to go board the Isabella Jewett from that
point when she was going on, to sea- but was in
some manner prevented. II is also possible if he
went down the Bay in that boat as has been testified
that be went shore, for reason TO wait while
the bark laid of for the wind 10 come mp and was
after all left. There is no doubt tha, arrangements
were made for his departure in that vessel but she
left the Lower Bay somewhat sooner than was antic
pated which increases the chances that Baker did
not get on board.
We learn by the Captain OF the John Potter that
man answering the description of Levi, Baker
passed the railroad depot at Amboy on Monday after
noon. He was distant some 800 yards, and was pro-
ceedne in the direction Of New Brunswick or Wash
ington. He wa pursued by number OF persons un-
til they came to thick swamp west Of in
which he was lost sight of. He was followed until
night when the chase was abandoned The citizens
of Amboy are firmly convinced that Baker is still in
that neighborhood, and they are spsrng no effort TO
capture him if he is there
In this connection, we are desired by our informant
to say that the character assigned TO young Morgan
in our paper of yesterday Is wholly erroneous. He
does Lot belong TO the Bill Poole crowd and never
did. 1t is also proper TO say that Mr. Morgan is
anerg the most active of the citizens of Amboy in
sscertsinng the whereabouts Of the fugitive.
From The Erpyeu
Judge Stuart was waited on by Capt. Berry OF the
steamer Nashville, on Tuesday morning, in compi-
apce with request sent him the evening previous.
On being informed of the business for which the
Judge wished to him, he stated that he had, not

but after waiting in vain tor him, the Judge proceed
ed 10 the Mayors office aud had en- interview with
him concerning the affair, assuring hs honor OF the
public sentiment in relation to the transaction, and
what the public expected OF the CITY AUTHORITIES;
The Mayor replied, after having been convinced OF
the actual fight of Baker that he had no legal power
10 order any expense over what had alresdy been
done toward securing his Bakers arrest but told the
Judge TO go abe sd aud do what he thought proper,
and he would do all in his power to aid the mater.
With this assurance the Judge started in pursuit OF
Ogden Hoffman, for the purpose Of seeing II he could
not suggest any plan by which the required expenses

Several ship owners have been consulted in this

The Judge is 10 have another interview with Mayor
Wood and give Mr. Vanderbilt an answer on Wednes-
