EscArED.-Henry Jansen, an account Of
whose committal on a charge Of assault with a
deadly weapon, and subsequent removal to the
county hospital, we gave last week, made his
escape from tho latter institution on Tuesday
night, the 10th inst. When taken to the hospi-

one eye. and during the night he took his leave
and has not boen heard from since. he had
not tasted of particle of food from the time be
was committed to Jail on Friday, until he left
the hospital. The order for his removal to the

DAVID BUTLER.-This man in all probability
will be executed on Friday next. He seems to
be resigned to his fate, and has given up all
hopes Of pardon, or further delay Of the exc
cution. He has exhibited considerable forti-
tude during bis long imprisonment, and designs,
il able, to make statement upon the gallows.
It is understood that "Butler" is not bis real
name. He came from Pike county, Illinois,
where his father resided. His mother is dead.
he was expecting letter from his father by
the last mail, but received none. He has since'
however, received letter from friend in Or
egon, stating that bis father has recently died.
Since the above was in type, we learned
that bis correct name is Major c. Bollin.

Our There is prevailing silence among the
Southern tire-eaters just now, says the New

terous outbreak of Indignation and wrath in
reference to the Nicaragua flbusters which
cannot be explained upon any theory of con-
sstency. Surely our Southern Bobadis are
satisfied that it is all up with the "little gray

sense and folly to attempt to make his wrongs

ROBBERY AND DISSECTION OF THE THIEVES.
the night of the fire Mr. G.. Turrio one of our
merchants, when the alarm was given, placed
III his pocket purse containing about thirty
five hundred dollars in dust aud coin in the
excitement of saving his goods from the flames,
he took off his coat. which ne laid aside for q
few moments, and Oil returning for 1t. he found
it had disappeared, gold dust, coin and all.-
Suspicion rested on two Italians, named Fortu-
nato Otuue and Joseph Grandara, who since the
fire have been more prodSal than ever Of their
money; and on Wednesday night last, Mr. Tur-
rio, to convince himself Of their guilt or inno-
cence in the matter followed Otune 10 bis cabin
and charged him with the robbery. whereupon
he became very indignant, aud tried by threats
to ntimidate Mr. TurriO; but the actions OF
Otune had the contrary effect--of convincing
him more than ever OF the iu>taess of his susp G.
ions, and presenting Colts persuader at the
head OF Otune, told him to cSUiess or take the
consequences. Rather overcome by the force
OF this argument, Otune went down on his knees
and made confession. in which he exonera led
himself from all completely in the robbery, and
charged the crime on Joseph Grandara. his
partner. Procuring the assistance Of his friends.
Ar. Turro had both parties arrested and odg-
ed in Jail, where Graudara told where the gold
dust was buried, and that Otune had the coin
which statement the latter persisted in denying.
The gold dust was found, and search instituted
for the coin, portion Of which was found buri-
ed near an unoccupied cabin close to that occu-
pied by the thieves; making in all recovered
about thirty-one hundred aud fifty dollars. On
enquiry, it was found that Grandara sent to
Europe, a short time since two hundred dollars
which is supposed to have been portion of the
stolen money; and the balance was doubtless
used by both Of them in having good time.
Mr.. Turrio will recover the full amount as
the thieves own one or two good mining claims;
he has also saved to himself the amount of the
reward offered, (S500) in being the lucky de-
tector himself. of the whereabouts of his stolen
property Citizen.

AsTRoNoMIc AL.--Those who are not accustomed
to view the heavenly bodies through telescopes are
apt to imagine that they are not nearly so much
magnied by the instrument they really are. With
power OF one hundred times most persons would
imagine that Jupiter, for instance, appeared much
less than the moon to the naked eye and yet such
power presents that planet to the eye with diane.
ter about twice that of the apparent size of the moon
The mean apparent diameter of Jupiter is thirty
eight seconds, which being multiplied by one hun
dred, the magniiyng power produces three thousand
eight hundred seconds which is equal TO sixty three
and onethrd minutes. Now the mean apparent
diameter Of the moon Is thirtyone minutes twenty
six seconds, the double Of which is sixty.two min
utes ftytwo seconds which is less than the apparent
size OF Jupiter when magnifed one hundred times
But, when in opposition, Jupiters apparent diameter
IS iortyseven and half seconus, and consequently
at such period this planet viii appear still larger
In order to produce full conviction of the accuracy
OF this statement, an observer should view Jupiter
when in the immediate vicinity of the moon, and,
looking with one eye through the telescope and with
the other at the moon, endeavor TO make the image
OF Jupiter in the telescope to coincide with the moon
and the proportlOn of their apparent magDitudes will
then be clearly perceived.

EXAMINATION OF YEH AT CANToN.-The bearing
OF the Chinese Governor, Yeh, after his capture is
said to have been as naughty ever. He is de-
scrbed as having huge, sensual fiat face. The pro-
file is nearly strait from the eyebrow to the chin.
He wears his mandarin cap, his red button and his
peacocks tail but in other respects has the ordinary
quilted blue tunic and loose breeches, the universal
winter wear of that part OF China He seats himself
in an arm chair, and some inferior mandarins, who
have pressed in after him. stand round and make him
little court. There is ferociy about his restless,
rowing eye, which almost made the spectator shrink
from it, 1t is the expression Of n fierce and angry
but not courageous animal. While the long nails of
his dirty fingers trembling against the table, and
bis eyes are ranging into every part Of the ROOM in
search Of every face his pose OF dignity is too palpa
bly, simulated to inspire respect, even if you could
forget his deeds. But no one can look upon him
with contempt
The two admirals and the generals now arrive and
after some salutatious. which were naturally more
embarrassing to the captors than the captive, the
English admiral enquired whether Mr.. Cooper, Sr,
was still living You will reeolleet the circumstances
under which this gentleman was kidnapped Yeh
burst for into loud laugh, which sounded 10 every
present as though he reeollecting aud en-.

quiries tomorrow, and if he can be found you shall
have him."
The disgust was at that moment so great-for
many in the room had known and esteemed pOor
Cooper-that, If the audience could have decided the
matter, Yeh would have been taken out and hanged.
He was told that his answer was not courteous, and
he replied that it was, at any rate, the only answer
that he should give.
After some further conversation, Yeh was sent on
board the ship.

SINGULAR CASE OF DROWNING. man was
drowned last week in Sandy bayou, near the point
where 1t runs out OF Fool river in Catahona. He
was standing up in the water, alongside ofthe bridge
that is impossible for a horse. On the body was
found some money, and In his saddle-bags a flask
with about one drink of whisky in it, His horse
was near by, hlindfolded.
The way he came to his doom is coniectured to be
as follows: He came from Tensas, and crossed
Sandy bayou with difficulty and on proceeding, is
supposed to have found the swamp so bad, that it
caused him TO turn back. His horse being unwilling
to take the water, he blindfoded him, and still not
being disposed to go into it, he determined on taking
the bridge and lead over when he slipped and fell in
His boots aud coat were of, bis head just under
water, and his hands in position as ii attempting to
grasp the logs OF the bridge. He is supposed TO have
been drunk. He was drowned on Sunday and found
on Thursday, remaining in the position Stated above
during all that time GFrankin, La, Sun, 18th.

Texas Intelligence.

From the Galveston News of Saturday and Thurs
day last, we extract the following:
The vast increase in the passenger travel between
New Orleans and this city during the present year
and indeed ever since the Berwick Bay line has been
in operation, is obvious TO ALL Almost every steame,
OF both lines comes filled with as many as can well
be accommodated. This is truly gratifying eyt
dence OF the rapid settlement and prospective pros
perity Of our State. We have not nov the figures
TO show the number Of passengers during the past
twelve months, but we think it must be fully double
the number OF any previous year in our history.
Our latest accounts from the Trinity represent that
river as again rising and with fair prospect of con-
tinued navigation.
The steamer Fort Henry has left the Brazos trade
on account of the low water and returned to Calves.
ton.
The Southern Beacon of Henderson says quarrel
lately took place between two respectable citizens of
that county (Rusk) named Rachels aud Peguies,
about bale OF cotton, and that the former killed
by the latter after exchanging several shots. Mr..
Peguies has been arrested.
The Houston Telegraph OF Friday says:
Cotton is beginning to roll in now finely. The re-
cepts the past week were over 100 bales. Most of
1t came by railroad. Very few wagons are seen in
our streets-scarcely any at all.
The San Antonio Ledger says there is a rumor
that Gen. Houston is to be appointed Governor of
Arizona, aud thinks the appointment would be a
good one, though the editor thinks it viii not be
made.
The San Antonio Herald is informed that out of a
flock of three thousand sheep, Mr.. Kendall has lost
but one during all the past winter and that was
from broken leg. We think the world may be
challenged to furnish another instance OF so small a
per centage of loss.
The Galveston Civilian of Saturday last says;
Since our last accounts Of the 18th inst our cot.
ton market wore languid appearance until last
wednesday, when buyers came forward and took
about 800 bales at the basis of 10l for Liverpool
Mdding. The total amount Of sales up to last night
was about $500 bales; some for the North, but
chiefly for Europe.

N. O., JACKSON AND GaEAr WESTERN R R.-The

Kosciusko (Miss) Chronicle of Friday last says
We learn from an undoubted source, that strenuous
efforts are being made to stop the New Oreans
son aud Great Northern Railroad at Canton and
thus cut of the counties of Leake, Attaa, Winston
ChocLaw, Oktibbeha and Monroe for participation
in the long looked for railroad facilities to be erd-
ed the citizens of those counties by the extension Of
said road from Canton to Aberdeen this is therefore
TO warn the subscribers to the stock of said road in
the above named counties of their danger aud TO put
them upon their guard as to granting their proxies
TO parties who are unfavorabe TO the extension of
said road. The election Of new Board of Directors
will take place in New Orleans the third Monday in
April
The Chronicle proceeds to recommend that the
above mentioned proxies be placed In the hands of
Gov. Melville, as Mr. Rohb who held them at the
last election is represented to be longer in favor
the extension.
