fEcApfURED.- ALI eight Of the negro convicts
who escaped at Weston, Lewis county, Va, have
been recaptured. The Weston Herald says:
One of the negroes states that they were per.
suaded by white man {name unkuown) to make
their escape, and that he gave them directions
how to reach the Ohio river. II this be true,
there has been gross and culpabe mismanage-
ment on the part of those having the managemen ut
OF the convicts, and who required to prohibit
any communication being held with them, other
of the convicts had armed themselv with yari.
ous means of defense, such a drawing knife.
Strengthened at the ends, aud so fixed as to make
dangerous weapon, &c land doubtless had de.
termInet on resistance. They are safe now, how
ever, and will be kept under a stricter watch The
jail, we think secure, being built Of huge logs,
after the plan of the block house, so celebrated n
