A Washington dispatch Of the 18th
thus speaks Of this famous prison for reb-
ell officers:
There are now over two thousand rebel
officers Oh Johnson's Island. Eighty off
GERS recently captured by Meade are on the
way there. Several days ago there were
suspicious indications that the rebels on
the Island contemplated an effort to rs
cape. but the authorities had the requisite
precautions taken, including the ordering
Of gunboats there. Therefore prisoners
could not leave the Island if they attempt
ed. Whatever appreheusions existed afr
how quieted.
As considerable attention has been d.
reced TO Johnson's Island just LOW short
description of the place may not be unih-
teresting. The Island contains about 300
acres; is in Sandusky Bay of Lake Erie,
3 mile. from Sandusky ciiy, Ohio. Abou,
twenty acres of the Island is enclosed in
tight board fence twen'y.fcet high, on the
top which is platform walk about three
feet wide, and along this walk are built
sentry boxes al short intervals Within
this enclosure there are quite a num-
Der of snug buildings or barracks neatly
arranged and white.washed, and present
ing altogether quite pleasant appearance.
Thirty feet from the fence and within the
enclosure, upon posts set in the ground,
strong rope is stretched all the way around
the grounds. Within this enclosure are
the 1000 soldiers above referred to. A
regiment of soldiers garrison the Island,
and until recently only four field pieces
were kept there. SentineIs pace to and
fro on the board walk which surmouuts
the high fence around the grounds. These
sentinels are instructed to shoot the first
prisoner that steps between the rope, with
In the enclosure, and the fence. No one
can visit the the Island except upon official
business, No boat is allowed to lay at the
wharves longer than necessary to dis.
charge its cargo and passeng gers. The
place is remarkably we'll adapted to its
present use, and it is impossible for pris-
onsrs to escape excep! by assistance from
outside force.

to the fact that the people were exceeding
ly busy gathering their crops, repairing
their dwellings,, and preparing for winter
generally than which more industri'

For the information of those inters.ted,
I would state that the title to our county
seat, (Washington.) which has hitherto
been doubtful. is now settled beyond all
question A letter recently received from
the Register of the Land Office of this

By the way, Messrs. Editors; if you should
see persons hunting Homcsteads. send
them on: they will fad quite convenient
space of excellent land, aud a general
hospitality. Indeed, the interest Of this
County aud the county of Marshall are so
nearly allied tha. it would be difficult to
promote the interest of one without in
creasing the prosperity Of the other. And
Just here would make suggestion: In

with better camping places, and plentier

does seem to me that the project is practi-
