against him. This associate of the thief, is
indicted in Pa, for Il criminal oifense, and
was anxious to have his friend, confined here,

VISIT TO ELKToS JAIL.-A correspon-
dent who has recently been at Elkton, Nd,
| thus describes the Jail at that place, which lie
visited =
:. entering the prison, / found white man
chained hand and foot to the floor. lie told
me he had been in that condition for two
months, and received nothing to cat but a
small piece Of corn bread homeland u her
ring, twice "a day. The sheriff who accom-
panied me, said he was obliged to keep him
chained as the prison was not strong enough
to hold Il hog. Other prisoners, probably con-
| fined for debt, were laying about on the floor
| in dirt and filth, no beds or bcdstcads being
visible. In another part Of the prison oh
served ii colorcd woman, with scarcely any
| clothes upon her person; she was reduced to
| a skeleton. She had been there several years
| for the crime Of having lost her reason. On
| enquring why the p lace was so Wrctched, !
was told that the county was too poor to build
| Il new jail.
