GETTING OUT AND RECAPTURE OF
YANKEE PRISONERS

On Saturday night last, number Of the
Yankee prisoners Confined here attempted to
escurc by means ola "hoc in the wall !, made
by taking OF some cf the rlanks of which the
enclosure around the factory is conStrrcted.-
These fellows, to the number Of about sixty.
i've, actually did cfFees an exit, and all Lu,
about fifteen of them arc now at large. We
have been unable to gather the particulars il,
full, bu. understand that it was owing to the
gross carclcssncSs Of Il sentinel that tho affair
ras allowed to take place.
When it became known on Sunday morning,
that the attempt had been made, and that the
prisoners were at large, number OF orr cltl-
zcns volunteered to go in pursuit in order t"
apprchcnd the tugit.yes. twas by the cxer-
tions Of these citizens Tor rather inhabitants.
ct most Of them are young men engaged III
military employment here that the capture
IF the fifteen was accomplished. Among tn.
captured is man named Hopkins, formerly 81
wheat fan maker near this place, but q Yam
kcc by birth, and as his present captive con-
dition shows, a Yankee by practice. A number
Of his comrades were following tho lead of this
fellow. as he was supposed t"k know the coun-
try. Fortunately for the reparation OF o SEN
tincl's carelessness and probably also for tho
hcn-roosts and sheep-pcns Of our farmers, the
party under the lead of Mr.. Hopkins are once
more safely in their prison quarters, where
they will now probably remain until MIR.
Lincoln or somebody else releases them by re-
suming the cartel Of exchange, unlass the
neril claims his own before that Danvillc

Horrible Accident.-Two little children
one about five years old, and the other younger
were burned to death, in Pleasant Prairie, last
Friday evening, in the most shocking manner. =
The circumstances, as we learn them were fol
lows: They were the children of Mr.. ODon-
nell, who lives near the farm of F.. A. Higgins
on the Plank Road.
The father was doing SO ne work about the
barn, and the mother had gone out to milk, Ieav>
ing the two children in the house alone. On re>
turning TO the house, what was the horror of the
mother to behold the house apparently on fire
and smoke issuing from the windows. Believing
the children SAFE she heard no cries. she ran to
the barn TO fetch her husband, and entering the
house, they found the children burned to death
the fire and smoke being only that of their cloth,
ing. 1t is supposed they were playing with or
near the fire, when in some way, their garments
caught fire, thus resulting in their deaf h as above

SpIendid Pict,lres.-Mr. G. Z. Pain

Splendid PictureS.-Mr. G.. r Palfrey
nlan, is canvassing city, for the sale of some
very fine portraits of Washington. Douglas, Ger
erals Grant, Sgel, Rosecrans, Mcclellan, and 9TH
ers, which are really the finest have ever seen.
Mr.. Palfreyman will be in town few days long
er, and we call the attention of readers sp &C.
ally to this rare opportunity of supplying them
selves. His picture of ''Washington's Last Mos
ments," is the most elegant thing we have ever
seen of the kind. We quote with pleasure, the
following from the Egin Gazette, in regard to this
picture
| We would again call the attention of our read>
ers to the picture entitled Last Moments of
| Washington" 1t is faithful representation of
the scene, as described by Irving in his life of
Washington. DR. Craik, his family physician,
is watching with intense anxiety the last moments
of the great and good Father of our Country. In
the rear and lett OF tbs Doctor stands the attached
friend and private secretary, Mr.. Lear. AT the
| foot of the bed, Mrs Washington sits in devo>
tonal attitude, position which she occupied
| some ten hours previous TO the departure of the
spirit and in the background to the right, stands
the well known and faithful body servant, Chris
topher, overwhelmed with grief.
| At such time as this, when the work of Wash
ington is being destroyed by rebel hands, it is
we'll to nurse our patriotism by study of his lie
and contemplation of the scenes connected with
his death and his tomb. Everywhere he is the
same, great and good.
