sTANTLY.-THE DECEASED BRIBED BY TWO HIGH
wAYMEN TO OBTAIN THE JAIL KEYs.-THE KEEPER
ACQUITTED, ETC.
The quiet village Of White Plains Wescheser county
was on Friday morning startled by the announcement
that the turnkey of the county Jail had shot prisoner
AIMED Harrison Daniels, killing him instantly.
The circumstances Of the affair follows-The de-
ceased sentenced to six months incarceration the
county Jail for assault and battery and had served nearly
all Of his torn. He allowed the privilege Of going
outside Of the Jail yard but ordered to keep within
the bounds known the "limits." On Wednesday he
went outside Of the prescribed lines and coming the
knowledge Of his keeper the next day he determined
lock him up for the remainder of his unexpred term.
Accordingly when Daniels in Thursday after
noon the turnkey Mr. stephen Crawford ordered him to
his cell Daniels went along the corridor until no nearly
reached his CELL when with a tremendous spring, he
cluched Mr. Crawford first by the hair of the head and
So sudden the movement and such the strength
the assaiant that Mr. Crawford Immediately loored,
and was completely at the mercy Of the rullan
nics about to carry out his threat to take his life,
Mr. Crawford drew pistol and told Daniels that If he did
not release him he would shoot him. He, however would
not lot and endeavorod to get at the throat Of the
keeper
Feeling there was no hope for bis release but IN wound
ing his assaant, Mr. Crawford fred his pistol but from
his PROSTATE position he could any aim but the
ball took effect in the heart of Daniels and, with one
piercing shrck he released his hold, rolled over and
was lifeless corpse.
Mr.. Crawford Immediately went to the Sheriff, Mr.
William Bakeney, and gave himself up and he was
locked up for the night, until the Coroners inquest
could be held
Early next morning the Coroner summoned jury, and
several Of the prisoners testified that two Of their
Der, who were confined in the JAIL had offered Daniels
$500 to obtain the keys and that If he would get them
they would release all who wanted to go.
As far as the shooting Of Daniels concerned, they
oil testified that Mr. Crawford acted only in self defence
He stated that he did not intend killing Daniels but from
his position and the aggravatng circumstances Of the
case he was obliged TO fire at the deceased prisoner.
The Coroners jury brought in verdict entirely &C.
quitting Mr. Crawford He has since left White Plains
of Daniels friends have threatened to deal harshy
with him.

MANUFACTURING ATTEMPTS IN THE REBEL
STATEs.-We have received sundry circulars
from the Confederate States representing in the
most glowing colors the ''unexampled pros
perity" of certain manufacturing companies,
which have been recently established, in Geor-
gia, and elsewhere. "The healthy condition Of
affairs "a stereotyped phrase by the way with
shaky concerns) is enlarged upon, in connec-
ton with lists of figures in which the assets are
put down as tremendous and the indebtedness
as considerably less than nothing. How ridicu-
lOus What absurd bosh and buncombe! Every
child knows that niggers are wholly incapable
of working in factories, and that there is no sur
plus white population whatever, fitted for such
work. If the works of Manchester, Lowell, Bir-
mingham and Sheffield could all be transferred
into South Carolina, Alabama or Louisiana to-
morrow, they would be useless because they
neither have, nor can obtain, any efficient opera
tives. They have forced every able bodied, in
telligent Southern man into the army, and
Northern folks have either been tarred and
feathered hung or driven away.

His inglorious career, as revealed in the Bull

minds us of the story Of the Irishman who had

what was the meaning of the LII. D., he re-

This regiment is under orders and will march to day

termaster will transport the regiment to-day from their
camp Amboy, whence 1t will dsembark for Washington
It's camp and garrison equpage the baggage and all s
attendant appointments will be transported with 1t.
The boat will arrive at about two O'clock land tho troops
at the foot Of East Fourteenth street. from which point
they will move to Broadway, and down Broadway TO
pier No. North river, where tho boat again meeting
them, they will re-embark for Amboy. This regiment
has been organizing about two months. Colonel John
Cochrane commenced just as the excitement which filled
the earlier regiments subsidng, and when all the
usual mpedments to recruiting under ordinary circum
stances began TO reappear He persisted however and
collecting into his regiment the best military material
unemployed, he has organized a regiment which com.
pares favorably with any heretofore organized. II is
noteworthy also that Colonel Cochanes regiment has not
been the favored object Of any public assistance The
United States government having authorized men to
raise it, furnished the requisite rations, clothing,
arms and equipments. But for those innumerable
expenses attendant upon recruiting and collect
ing from points perhaps 1--WE hundred miles
apart, thousand men, he has been cast we
understand, entirely upon his resources 1t may,
therefore, be inferred that his regiment as It has not
been will not be burden upon the taxed citizens Of New
York The short time, too within which the regiment
has been prepared, is commendable. When it did not
number single man, other regiments which have but
just eft-such as the Brooklyn Phaanx and the Anderson
Zouaves-were nearly complete. No doubt that insuper
able obstacles opposed the rapid progress Of these
excellent regiments; still, the early completion Of the
United States Chasseurs is the no less laudable. The
regmenal headquarters in this city will still be held

tered into service will be Immediately sent, when re-
ceved forward to Washington uniformed and equipped

New YORK. August 90, 1861.
Allow me to suggest through your widely circulated
paper, mode of filling up army. Let the go
vernment advance months wages, say twenty dol
lars so that when he cnsts can leave something
home for his family, and sure in very short time
moro men--good mon, not boys-will enlist than are
required. The government cannot expect to fight
the country's battles and lot their families starve.
