We have heard much from the
lips of our Union brothers of late,
about the enormous load of taxes
with which we should be burtheIed
in Southern Confederacy. But
the issuance by the General Gov
ernmcnt of this glorious Union, of
bonds for the loan of twenty-five
millions of dollars, to be reimbursed
by increased taxes upon Southern
working men, occasions not so
much as a whisper of discomfort.

consequently are contraband of.war. They
were employed By the enemies Of the Re-
public "to dig trenches, construct embank-
"1nents, carry muskets, mount columbiads,
"nnd do sundry other things in aid Of the
"public enemy. Consequently, they are
" contraband, as are the guns they bear for
" their masters, and the cannon they mount
" in emb1asure6."
1t seems that the other darkies in the
neighborhood were favorably impressed
with this view Of the matter and are fully
convinced Of the soundness Of the logic;
and as they were obliged to work for one or
the other side, they preferred to dig and
carry for Uncle Sam. Tho telegraph In
forms us that on the next day one Hundred
pieces Of this peculiar species Of property
escaped 10 the fort, were received aad set

Butler is right. Let him treat every
slave belonging to rebel as contraband.
and confscate him as he would musket
or o cannon, aud if he can't give them their
freedom, he can give them employment.
They will be found to be very useful to the
army in hot weather, in doing the hard
work which otherwise would fall on the
soldiers Whether any or all Of them bc

Revolt In the Missouri Penitcntfnry4
Corresponding Missouri Republican,
,IFFFNYsoN GtfY Nav 9th

Last night quite o revolt occurred in the

Schoenwo1d, Who was convicted Of murder
and sentenced to be hung, but whose sentence
was commuted to imprisonment for life, cut
through his cell about 2 O'clock In the mora
irg, and with G false key unlocked about so
cells md let the prisoners out; in tie mean
tine, a hole had been cut through the roof,
where they all congregntcd, and threw plank
descend. Four Of them got down safe, when
the guord discovered them and fired; four or
five then jumped upon the rope In the coufu-
sion, when The rope broke and they were pre-
dpitated to the ground, distxnco Of some
thirty OF forty feet, all Of them having heir
legs or arms broken. Among those oa the
rope when 1t broke was the notorious Hum
phrcy, Eho lad his leg broken aud his SPINE
badly injured; John Wilson, from St, Louis :;
another, johnson, convicted Of forgery, from
St. Louis.
Among those who escaped were:
Joseph G. Al1scn, sent from jackson Co.
Nicholas Troutwainc, the baroer boY, who
strapgled man on Broadway, and was SEN
fenced for life, Is another.
Patsy Mcdonald, sent from ST. Charles
county; P n. Murphy, cent from st. Charles

These are all that escaped-the rest were Sc
cured upon the wills, where, after the rope
had broken, they were powe1less.
It was daring scheme, aud but for the
breaking Of the rope would have been sue

Reports differ as to the probable action
Of the Government in relation to the Ma
ryland case, in which Judge Taney issued
q writ Of ha5eas corpus for sccessionist
Imprisoned by Gen. Cadwallader in Fort
McHenry, which wit VAS returned BY the
Marshal with an endorsement that the Cen
ernl.would not give the prisoner up. Dis
patches to the Associated Press say that
the Administration will supportthe Judge,
while our special declares that Gen Cad
wallader will lie sustained, and that fancy
has been used IS 4 tool by the Maryland
Secessionists, who wish to get up another
popular ferment- Tie latter story is the
most probable. In 1854, Taney was sofar
in lis dotagc that he could be used for
pronouociDg the Dred Scott decision, and
il is not probable that seren years have SO
frightened lis faculties or increased Ills
honesty that he could now refuse 10 lend
himself to any scheme for promoting the
final success Of the movement Of which
Dred Scott WAS ore Of the beginnings.
His Inv will be accepted by the Admins

We are glad that the result Of the ap-
plicauon Of the Hecker regiment, for &C.

the opposition Of Governor Yates to their
petition is unfounded. It was natural
enough tbat he should have desired that
the regiments raised BY the authority Of

must have given rise to the damaging dis

The Greene County Murder.
The Greene Co., W.) correspondent Of the
Missouri Republican has the following in addi-
ton to his account Of the fearful murder, cop
led BY US yesterday morning:
W,LN1scToK, Greene Co.. Ill.,,
Since writing my last, jim Wilkinson, one
Of the supposed murderers Of the Mace famf-

time, the murderer was taken in less than two
miles Of the scene Of massacre. He came In
near to where relative was plowins, on
Thursday and begged for something to eat,
Which mas given him, and an appointment
meet lin ct night, ut 4 certain wood, with his
supper. Sharpe then informed few OF the
mcet jrdicious relghbors to meet him at the
spot to take the accused; but the party FILLING
to hit on the appointed place, the plsn was re-
newed the second night, and second time
treachery, and the crowd were about to take
him on suspicion, but he induced them to
mbke third trial, which they did aud sue
cecded in taking the man Wilkinson, and ra-
,ieVing Sharpe Of heavy load Of anxiety and
fear.
The prisoner admits that he killed Mace and
the young 1unn McAu:ey, mud that Allen, ihe
party formerly committed, killed the old wo-
man. Wilkinson says Allen got tha money,
and, as they were about being discovered, and
had to flee to ayold detection, and not meeting
sghin, it wns rot diyid6d, and be knows moth.
Allen, on the other hand, asserts his inno-
cence, and forbade the officers putting the
other In his cell. However 1t may be, the
people regard both as guilty. As :" misery
loves company" it is reasonable Wilkinson
should divide the affair with his partner,
