The time approaches when you are to
select some person to be supported for your
Representative in the 3Sth Congress, and il
may be proper, although many of you are
already appraised of my purpose, that l
should publicly withdraw my name as l
now do as candidate for reelection.
Having been in service for the past eight
years, in the House of Representatives, a
seas on of unexampled events as well as OF
labor, feel the need of some relaxation !;
and it is your privilege, most willingly ac-
knowledged, and your duty. as believe, to
piece fresh man in the field. Whoever
he may be-feeling sure you will seek ca
pacity for the discharge of legislative duties.
and fidelity TO all the grea. political issues
now so profoundly touching the honor and
welfare of our beloved country, assailed as
i, is by all the domestic and foreign foes of
fee-govcrnment-he shall have my cordial
support. 3
Pardon a word against the weakness of
dependence. Our condition is infinitely
above that of the traitors. Heroism and
endurance will yet secure to us and to orr
posterity our full measure of freedom, and
the Union complete in all its ancient bound
aries. BIZ foi lE4
To have retained your confidence for so
long. period, and with so much of unani-
mity--receivingn nothing but upininterrupted
kindness at your hands--satisfies whateve,
of ambition / may have had, and will be
grea,fully remembered while life remains.

brought the last one Of the boats load TO

extinct. Considering the swollen state OF
the river, the attempt to cross in small

ESCAPE OF SIMs.-Thomas Sims, not
ell as the first of the persons sent South
from Boston under The Fugitive Slave Law,
arrived in that city on Thursday last with
his family. He came direct from the city
of Vicksburg, having escaped from that
city three weeks ago. 1t will be remem.
bered that the master of Sims resided in
Savannah, Georgia, and that under the
order of the United States Commissioner
Sims, at early dawn, was escorted by the
police, under City Marshal Turkey, protect
ed by military, the whole under the direction
of U. S. Marshal Freeman, TO Contra
wharf, where he was placed on board g
vessel which conveyed him to Savannah
Ever since that time he has been held as 8
slave. His escape from the rebels at thi,
important period is certainly remarkable
event.
Sims was taken to Vicksburg soon aftei
he was returned to slavery, where he wa,
kept ten or eleven years at work for BIZ
master. He escaped from Nicksbnrg in ;
"dug-out' boat, accompanied by his wifi,
and child and three other men. He hat
remained in Vicksburgh up to the time o.
his escape, but his wife had been removed
to plantation some miles out of the city
He and his friends having obtained the boat
which .hey concealed, determined to escape
He was allowed to 60 in and out of the city
without restraint, and having hired hors,
he went out at night and got his wife ant
child. They were fortunate in being abb,
to pass the pickets, and with the men o
the party they embarked in the boat AM
put out into the stream. The men wer
armed, and had determined, if discovered
to fight for their lives. 1t was moonligh
night and at one point they passed nea
a rebel battery, but providentiaIly the moo
was obscured by cloud just at that tim
and they were not seen.

\ No doubt has existed for some time thai
the rebels have had some secret means O
knowing every thing that transpired within
our lines, and that such information was in
spontaneously conveyed.
! The orders for recent movements hac
not reached the circumference OF the mill
tary circle formed by our army before the
pckets on the opposite side were calling
out, in mocsing tones, How are you, Yank
Amt those eight days rations mouldy yet !!
These facts have caused the deepest ankle
~ at head quarters, as until now the mean
adopted by the rebels have baffled the vigi
lance and labor expended to detect them.
General Patrick, the Provost Marshal O.
the Army of the Potomac, was, however
determined that the secret should be brought
to light. The guards stationed along the
river bank and in situations favorable fol
signals, have been constantly enjoined te
use the utmost care and watchfulness to dis
cover and expose the Ubiquitous system
Yesterday their efforts were crowned with
success. One of the guards in the town Of
Falmo-th, stationed outside dwelling
house adjoining the brick church on the
river bank, heard clicking noise like that
Of telegraph instrument. He advised his
superior officers, and was directed to enter
the house and investigate.
This was done, and on opening door he
discovered party Of four or five persons
one of whom was seated at telegraph in
strument, sending messages by submarine
wire across the Rappahannock. They wer'
all arrested. A just and speedy punish
ment will, doubtless, be at once melted GU
to them. This punishment, according to tn
laws of war, is DEATH"

A HEROIC KENTUCKY MAIRoN.-A
letter from Stanford, Kentucky, to the
Cincinnati Commercial, narrates the follow
ing incident -
"When Pegram's men re in Lancas-
ter, Garrard County, one Of his officers
and a squad Of men rode up TO The house
Of Col. Lendrum, then absent in the Union
army, and ordered hi wife to get them a
meal. She told them fatty thai she would
not do it. They then threatened to burn
her house If she persisted; to which she
beroically replied =" Then apply your
torch and I'll take my children and leave,
for will not prepare you food" adding
that she thought they might find brigade
of men to apply the torch also. Stunned
by this unlocked for courage and defiance
of an unprotected woman, they deemed it
better not to carry their threat into execn.
ton. The allusion TO brigade of men
was understood by them when it became
known that her husband was then in com.
mand of brigade Ia the Federal army.
