ARREST OF Fort DELAWARE Prison

ERs.-On Friday night Of last week, while
constable W. Lawrence was out on patrol
in Port Deposit he came up with three
men, travelling from the direction of Perry
vile toward Rock Run. He immediately
accoSted them, demanding to know who
they were, and where they were goiug.-
They seemed not disposed to give satisiac.
tory answers, and one of the men advanced
toward him. MIR. Lawrence then drew his
revolver. commanding him to halt. md the
part? to face about and proceed where he
directed. This order they obcycd with
reluctance, answering his inquiries as to
where they came from and whittier they
were going, by telling him they were from
Perryyille aud were going to Mr.. Van.
divers, about half IL mile up the street. -
They said they had been directed ~ go To
Mr.. Nandivcr's ly MIR. Cunningham who
kept public house at Pcrryvlle, and who
told them they would be entertained over
night free, being uut of money. as they
alleged.
Constable Lawrence marched the party to
W. w. NiuH'l'''H libtCl. NHttt lfcc quar-
tiers were provided for them. and the next
morning they were taken to Perryyilc and
delivered into the hands of the military
stationed there. The three captives proved
to he part of the rebel prisoners who escaped
from Fort Delaware a short time since. -
Much praise is due to Constable I.awrenc.
for his firm and decided course in capturing
these three escaped prisoners, who were
evidently making their way from one rebel
stopping place to another What would be
the fate Of Union residents in the South if
they were found plotting escaped Union
prisoners toward the Union lines?
1t Is reported that three of the escaped
Fort Delaware prisoners were taken ON
board II schooner ut Port Deposit, which
conveyed them to some point down the bay.
