The ESCAPE OF REBEL PRISONERS FROM |
FoRT DELAwARE-In speaking of the escape |
of the Rebel prisoners from Fort Delaware, |
the Washington Republican remarks:
Up to the time of this escape there were
3lSl rebel prisoners confined at Fort Della
ware, and about 5000 more expected at the
end of next week. The steamer Baltic ar
rived at the fort on Saturday last, having on
board 200 prisoners, who were transferred
from Governors Island, New York to Fort
Delaware. They comprise the whole nurn-
her quartered at Governors Island. The
prisoners, with the exception Of the Rebel
officers, who are about one hundred in mum
hcr, and who have quarters inside the fort,
occupy barracks on the upper end of the
island These barracks are commanded by
| heavy casemate guns in the fort, and also
hy shotted field pieces The barracks erect
ed are capable of accommodating 1000 men
Other barracks are in course OF erection,
intended to accommodate 6,000 more. The
pnatd consists of about $50 men, comprising
portions Of three batteries A guard pa
trolls the island at all hours, 10 prevent any
attempt al escape, but the circumstance that
two hundred have escaped, establishes the
fact that $50 men are not enough to guard
three thousand reckless and determined Re-
bells who have nothing to do but organize
plans for escape

sDIAIl cmANoR LAW,

There seems to be much misrepresentation
in the public mind in regard to the small
change act recently passed by Congress
Many persons suppose that they cannot use
the stamps except as change, whereas the
law makes them legal tender in payment
of all debts under five dollars; and, more
oyer, when presented at the proper deposl-
iaries of the United States, in sums Of live
dollars and upward, they Will be exchanged
for United States noies which are also Il
legal tender in payment OF all debts.
We trust these stamps will circulate freely
Being, as we understand printed on thick pa
per and without gum, they will he qnitc con
yenicnt for the people, while, ut the same
time, their general use will give to the Gov
crnment the advantage Of a large amount OF
money without interest, which, to taxpayers,
is consideration in these times
In view of its general interest We publish
the law to-day, ont of its numerical order, as
follows:

RELS.

The Albany Journal says that in packing
apples away for winter, salt barrels should be
used if they can be had, as salt being in its
nature wholesome, imparts healthy SAVIOR to
the wood. A farmer living near the Syracuse
salt works, writes that he purchased five bar.
rels of apples from one pile, and placed them
in the cellar IN barrels, one of which had
been used for holding salt. Tn this one the ap-
pies were sound and fresh on the first of
April, while in the other four they were al
most all damaged.
