BROKE JAIL.-The well-known burglar.
johnson, who broke Jail some six months
since, and was recaptured at Selma and con-
hned In his old quarters. broke ont again on
Wednesday night, and escaped With a com
rade named Bib.
johnson is remarkable for his ingenuity and
resources, and has boasted that no prison in
the United States could contain him longer
than Il suited his convenience. When recap-
tured, be asked the jailor to put him in his
strongest cell, as his propensity for wandering
was excessive, and he did not wish to compro-
mise any innocent persons. He was accord.
lngly put In n strong iron cage and fettered
Ii Is apparent now that he did not remain
long In that position, but in a few days freed
himself OF the said ornaments, and with n
piece of iron wire, which he obtained from
the bale Of bucket, contrived TO pick the
hYe locks OF the cage, and commenced opera
tions on the wall. This wall, consisting of
about a foot Of solid timber and about the
same thickness of brickwork outside, be sue.
ceeded In piercing, and during the storm on
Wednesday night, descended into the yard
by rope twisted from strips of his mattress,
ana from thence, with his comrade, picked
the lock Of the outside gate.
Tho said johnson is somewhat remarkable
Tor his cool lmpudence, as well as skill, and
when he escaped before, left some letters for
the county officers which attracted some at
tention. On this occasion he addressed them,
leaving letters for the Sheriff, Jailor, and
others, in which be expressed his regret for
his unceremonious departure, stating, in fact,
that be fully appreciated the courtesies and
hospitalities Of the officials Of Montgomery
county, but as the mosquitoes were getting
somewhat troublesome, and as his liver indi-
Gated some disturbance in that important
organ from the heat Of the westber, and ~
the season had arrived for southern gentle
men to change their air, due regard for his
health impelled him to make a visit to the
Springs, and that the necessity Of his condi-
tiOn compelled him to depart hastily, and to
his regret without taking the formal leave
customary in good society, &c
Every care and precaution have been used
by the jailOr to keep this man safe, but all
without avail, and it would seem doubtful if
he could be kept anywhere. .-MoHt Journal.
