ESCAPE OF CoSv1crs. The village of
Weston. Lewis county, Virginia, was thrown
into great excitement on toe night Of the
10th, by the escape Of eight convict ne
groes, who We're employed by the State in
the construction of a lunatic asylum at that
place. There were twenty two of these ne
groes confined in temporary Jail built for
the purpose, and it is generally supposed
that the runaways had some assistance from
without. The officers started in pursuit Of
them in the direction of Ohio, but up to the
last accounts they had not succeeded in get
ting on their track.
All eight Of che negroes have since been
recaptured.

ANou1TTAL OF THE Echo PRISONERS. -
The Echo prisoners on trial at Charleston
for engaging in the slave trade have been
acquitted No testimony for the defence
was offered, nor any cross examination of
witnesses for Government. 1t was proved
by the testimony Of Lieut.. Carpenter, Cox
swain Monaghan and Captain Mafht, Of the
United States brig Dolphin, and BY other
parties, that the negroes on board the Echo
were found in very distressed and suffer
ing condition; that Captain Townsend was
native Of Newport Rhode ISLAND that the
condition Of the vessel, when captured, was
extremely filthy, and that the charts found
in possession Of the Captain had marked
upon them, in pencil continuous line
from the coast of Africa to the point of her
capture.

We learn from the Seminole country,
that Billy Bowlegs died suddenly at the

inst There were great lamentations and
loud wailings among his people, the Sem
inoles. The late emigrants had net arrived
in the country at the time Of Bowlegs' death
Mr.. Arid met Col. Rutherford with them
about forty miles this side Of the Seminoles
country. They Will, therefore, be deprived

and chief Thus has passed away one who
has been terror to the settlers Of Florida,
and one of the greatest chief and Indian war;

The Judicial Election.

We give below the official returns Of the
election so far as they have been ascertain
ed. In addition to this, we give the rumor-
ed returns from several counties. But the
returns.h have been slow coming in and 50 un-
certain, that we can scarcely come to any
positive conclusion. So far as heard from,
Mr.. Robertson is about 500 ahead, with ten
counties to get the official returns from,
which will reduce his majority to about $50.
We think this will be about the result.
