Blanchard and Clayton B. EVatt, both fIom
Louisisne, The circumstances connected
With their escape are e follows; Some
time aimee these prisoners, from some re-
maFkg made BY Temple, concluded that for
consideration be would assist IN or con-
rive e their escaps, and they finally hinted
70 him their wishes. Temple readily aecsd-
ed TO proposition made By them for that
purpose, and Sunday night OF tattoo was
the time dxed 10 carry their design into
execution. At the time named, although
Temple was not on duty, he eontFived,
through cOlluBion with some other rascsls,
70 effect their escaps. The prisoners came
70 this city and engaged q passage on the
schooner Grace Murray. which was to sail on
Tuesday for Buffalo. During their stay in
the city on Monday, the prisoners met q
gentleman Of this city who vas well Known
to the prisoner EFatt-Who Il q native Of
Cleveland, O., and has 6 brother residing
thereto whom they related the whole cir
eumstsnceS Of their escape and their future
Intentions which were 70 take passage on
the 6rsee Murray for Buffalo, leave the vss-
eel at Dstroit, proceed thence 10 Cleveland,
and sitsr stopping there for 9 few hours to
continue their journey 10 New York, 20 TO
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, ship on q United
States vessel for New Orleans, and thence
escape TO the intsrior to the rebel GrmY,
where they proposed 10 again fight the Union
army. The gentleman 60 whom this com
munioation Wag made dsemed it his duty to
inform Col. Aulligan Of the facts, and it
Was done on Tuesday morning. Col. Null
ligan had Templs immedietsly arrested and
PLACED under guard, aud then came 10 the
city TO look after the prisoners. But on his
arrival Il vas discovered that the Grsee
Murray had gone, and with it the prisoners.
Fortunately the prisoners left & lister behind,
which fell Into the hands Of Col. Nulliean,
addressed 70 the traitor Temple. thanking
him for his guccessful efforts IN securing
their escape, and making promises Of liberal
reward TOR bic services when they reached
secessis. Thla, Of course, fxsd the guilt Of
Temple beyond q doubt. Orders have besn
sent 10 Detroit 10 arrest the prisoners on
their GrfiVal ct that city, aad they will,
without dnpbt, ere long be tenants Of the
white Oak, st Camp Douglas, for an in
definite period, while q still more ignoble
fsts awaits the traitor Temple. The brother
Of EYats, residing ct Cleveland, came 10 see
his prisoner brother Q short time since, and
stongly urged him 70 take the oath Of ale
gianse, but the rS56l emPhatically declined.
Chicago Tribune. -'
Evatt has two brothers residing In this
city, and II We mistake not, his mother also
resides here. BE Is unsWeFTing IN his dsYo-
tion to the rebels, and We are informed that
In rsply TO communication from his broth
OF, urging kim to resume loyalty to the Gov
eminent, he has written in the most bitter
spirit, stiemstiEing Northern men in Ghe
haEHhest terms. Il is not at sll likely he
designed taking the route stated in the
above, but intended to make his way into
Oanads, which, If not arrested, he has
probably done. He is well known hoTe.
