He informed the Committee that when he

March, there was ample means within the
reach Of the government, in tho way Of ships, some
fifteen in number, to have afforded protection to that
yard. The officers of the department in their testimony
however, deny that there any such vessels at tho
disposal OF the government. They positively that

Some time during last night four Of the con-
victs confined in our county Jail made their cs-
cape by means of a breach at the bottom of the
wall. The names Of the convicts are Gardiner.
Simmons, McCandless and johnson, the two
first having about nineteen years each to serve,
and the two latter three years each. At what
hour they made their escape is not known; it
is probable that it was early in the night, and
that they have many hours the start of he pur.
suing officers; nor is there any clue as to the
direction they have taken. 1t is generally
thought that they had the assistance of friends
outside, without which they could hardly have
made good their escape so cxpeditiously. Per-
haps scne of the gctters.up of the petitions for
their pardon, lately noticed by US, had hand in
it.
Every effort will be made by the Sheriff to
re.capture them. Information Of their escape
has been sent down the Sound, with the view Of
heading them of, f they have gone in that direc.
ton, which is quite probable. It is supposed
that they have been furnished with a boat by
their friends.
Mr. Tucker, the Sheriff, has gone to Olympia
to consult the Governor on the subject, and en-
deavor to induce him TO Offer reward for their
apprehension. If the Governor should be un.
willing to do so, the Sheriff will himself ofTyr
reward.

GEx.-SuMEER's Texas ExPEDruoS.-Some Of
the San Francisco journals do not approve the
proposed military expedition from that State
against Texas, about which we have heard so
much Of late. The Alta condemns Il as an
exceeding wild, chimerical and absurd project"
It estimates the cost Of transportation alone at
$20,000,00O, and states that il is the opinon Of
gentlemen who are acquainted with the pst Of
Mexico through which the troops would haye
70 march, on account Of It's sterility and dcsttu.
ton Of subsistence and water, that halt the
army which it is proposed to organize for that
purpose would never reach the Rio Grande.
The same Journal doubts whether Government
cOntemplates such movement, and says: at
seems to US, however, that there is no necessity
for such movement from this side The Gov.
ernment can get as many soldiers in the Atlantic
States as ii needs, and the Rio Grande could be
much more easily reached from New York than
San Francisco" 1871
