AN ENGLISH VIEw.-Tbe London Economist
which represents the opinion Of Lombard street
| and OF Manchester although heretofore supporter
OF the North, has at last come out in favor of the
recognition of the Southern Confederacy. 1t ar
CUES that the North cannot possibly gain anything
| by the prosecution of war n which the most de-
cided success, that any ventures to predict as
| possible, could have no other practical result than
to crafty offended feeling and aroused passion-in
fact to soothe rage by inaicting pain and injury"
The editor goes to say:
The Northern States-that is the old federation
| will unquestionablv lose both power, prestige
| and territory by the secession of the slave States
| But car this unquestOnabe result be in any de-
gree affected by the issue of war? Is it not an
evitabe evil, and must it not be accepted in
evitable aftei war just much before it, wha
tory could bring back the seeded States and re-
constitute them an integral, reconciIed, and per-
manent portion of the Union, and if such victory
were probable or conceivable, there would be a
| distinct purpose and perhaps adequate justifca-
| tiOn of the But does any one expect this or
even propose it to his Imagination, as the con
sequence OF even the most brilliant and decided
success the part of the federal government /?
No one, assuredly. Every one knows and admits
! that the secession is n accomplished and irrevoca-
| Die TACT. Well, then, if the Northerners do not
hope for this gain from successful war, what gain
do thev expect, that would either warrant the
bloodshed or paw the bill
| REvoLT IN THE Miss pURG PENIrENrIARY,-On
Monday night last, of the convicts in the pen-
tentiary at Jefferson City, Missouri named Henry
| Schoenwold, who was convicted of murder and SEN
| tenced to be hung, but whose sentence was COM
muted to imprisonment for life, cut through his
CELL and with a false key unlocked about thirty
cells and let the prisoners outs in the meanti me-
hole had been cut through the roof, where they
all c0ngregated, and threw plank the wall,
and with a rope they began 70 descend. Four of
them got down safe, when the guard discovered
| them and fired; four or five then jumped upon the
rope in the confusion, when the rope broke and
they were precipitated to the ground distance of
some thirty or forty feet all of them having their
| legs or arms broken. Among those the rope
when it broke the notorious Humphrey, who
had his leg broken and his spine IDLY injured;
John Wilson, from st. Louis and johnson, convict
ed OF forgery, from st. Louis Those who es-
| capped were Joseph q. Allison, Nicholas Trautwine,
| Patsy Mcdonald.
These all that escsped-the rest were Sc
cured upon the walls, where, after the rope had
| broken, they powerless.
1t was daring scheme, and but for the break
ing of the rope would have been successful. The
main leaders in the transaction this morning went
through the ordeal of hundred lashes well laid
on. Little Nick, the barber boy, had change of
clothes as his prison suit found the next morn
ing upon the railroad track. He has probably
made for st. Louis

with her brains!
