ESCAPE OF PRIsos Frs. The sheriff Of
Chicago and his deputies, while taking six
teen prisoners from that city to the Alton
Penitentiary few days since. brought up
at Bloomington or Whereabouts with only
ten. Four of them were recaptmed near
Funk's Grove, and two having broken their
shackles got clear off, The sheriff offers
one hundred dollars for their capture. The
Chicago Press says the escape took place
as follows: '..-
At Bloomington, two Of the prisoners
went into the saloon of the car, little later
two more joined them, and then two others,
and singularly enough, Mr.. Niche whose
vigilance might serve him poor turn on a
Sunday School Excursion, allowed the door
to remain closed upon the six, for more than
three quarters of an hour, and throughout
the whole period Of delay at Funk's Grove.
The six prisoners quietly broke one of the
windows and took leg bail, the two who
broke their leg shackles, with considerable
success il would appear. ..-

Large Emigration to Texas and Ar
Arkansas.

The emigration TO these States from the
older slave States, is remarkably large, and
it seems constantly on the increase. A re-
cent number Of the Memphis Bulletin says:
awe have never before observed so large
a number Of emigrants going westward as
are crossing the river at this point daily, two
ferryboats, sometimes three, going crowd
ed from early morn until the boats cease
making their trips at night. 1t is no un.
common sight TO see from twenty to forty
wagons encamped on the bluff for the night
notwithstanding there has been steady
stream going across the river all day; and
yet the cry is, still they come. The emf
grafton is from the older States, mostly
Virginia, North Carolina, S. Caroline
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and thi.
State, all going TO settle in Arkansas, nnt
Texas. Judging from these indications, tn,
influx of population into these States vii
be larger than ever before, and of good, sub
stantial citizens"

Mysterious Affair in Hart County.


We learn from gentleman from Mum
louisville, that man Of the name Of James
Jaggers has been committed in Hart county,
on the charge of numbering his wife. II APP
pears that his wife died very suddenly some
time in November, and it was subsequently,
ascertained that she had been strangled 70
death. The husband was arrested, togeth-
err with woman Of the name Of Nancy Nc
Dowell, and her mother. The examining
court has been twenty -seven days investi-
eating the mysterious affair, which has re-
suited in the committal of Jaggers, who f.
nally made full confession of the murder.
1t appears that he wanted to get rid of
his wife in order to marry Nancy Mel owell,
who with her mother and brother, his said,
went to the house Of Jaggefs. He went a.
way and stayed all night at place known
as the Rock House. AT a late hour in the
night the young woman visited him at his
retreat, and informed him that the deed vas
done. The wife was found dead in her bed
supposed to have been strangled. DR.. Jett,
a physician who examined the body, stated
she came to her death by violence.
Our informant states that good deal Of
excitement exists in the neighborhood, and
that it is expected the two women will also
be committed to answer the charge Of muir.

with passengers. There seems TO be some
unaccountable mystery overhanging the
subject. Some suggest it is impossible TO
cross at Jefferson city with the mails
Why should there be more difficulty in
crossing at Jefferson than there used to be
at st. Charles. We receive the Boonville
papers regularly and in good time; why not
/ cross at jefferson as well as Boonville?-
The hypothesis that it is impossible 10 cross
at Jefferson might account for not receiving
papers from that side, but what shall be
said about not receiving papers published
on this, as for instance, the Columbia and
! Fulton papers. They are due at this place in
Sundays Mail; they frequently do not reach
here till Fridays Mail-three mails behind

The WAY THEY CLEAR THE CoURT AT
ToLEDo.--The Toledo Blade of the 18th
says: .......... ....
One of our lawyers, who was setting
forth the merits of his case before n Toledo
Justice, had a misunderstanding with his
honor as to his rights. Whereupon some
harsh words passed between him and the
Justice, and his honor threatened to put HIM
out of the conrt, which, after some further
words, was attempted. Our legal friend
responded in eloquent blows, and his argu-
ment this time, was appreciated. He
cleaned the room of justice, and lawyers
and court, and when constable was called
TO do what his honor had failed TO do, and
came forward shaking his shillalah over the
head of the offender, he laid out this las
sprig of official authority, and in the clncl
got taste of his ear, which he reports to b.
very delicate and savory article OF food.

The Proposed Re.Charter of the Stat 9

We were in error, yesterday, in speak

of the State of Missouri, in stating that the
State was to have one-half the capital
We learn that this is an error. 1t is pro-
vided that the State shall have only one
fourth ($l ,25o, OoO) of The proposed capt.

by private stockholders. The State, in con.
sideration of her fourth, is 10 have the priv.
tlege of choosing four Directors, who, in
stead of being elected, as now, by the Leg

TO be elected by the private stockholders -
The Directors of the branches are to be ap-
pointed by the mother Bank-an arrange.

A SCENE NEAR RoME.-It was suppos-
ed with the introduction of railroads, the
trade of brigandism on the high road would
be at an end. 1t appears not to be the case,
however, in the PaEal States, as the follow
ing paragraph from the official paper Of
Rome, Of the 18th OF November last, will sur-
iiciently attest:
We learn that the railway train between
Frascati and Rome, was stopped by party
of brigsnds, who, at night, initiating the sig.
nal for the stoppage of the train, brought ii
to halt. They Immediately secured the en-.
gineer and firerren, and then, after detachine
the locomotive from the cars, proceeded with
perfect IMMUNITY, to rifle the pockets and bag.
gage OF the passengers. A brigand was
stationed at either end of the cars with load
ed muskets, while their fellows, armed tc
the teeth, forced the passengers to deliver
up their valuabies. AS the people Of The
Roman States are not allowed to carry arm,
they are at the mercy of the brigands, whc
go armed to the teeth, and who, with
knowledge Of this fact, DO not hesitate to as
sail people in their houses. After this in
cident, it is TO be hoped the government will
at least send an armed guard with the rail
way trains for the protection OF defenceles.
