Escape of Cen. JOHN HI. Morgan.

Escape of Cen. JOAN Ill. Morgan.
A dispatch to a Philadelphia paper gives
tho annexed account of the escape Of John
Morgan, and six Confederate officers from
tue Ohio Penitentiary
The six r. bel officers who escaped from
the penitentisry at Columbus. with John
Morgar, were Captains Bennett, Sheldon,
/ Hines, Hookersmith and Magee"
John Morgan, on retiring, arranged with
his brother. Dick to exchange cells, from the
top one to tue lower oue on the first ilvor.
The lower cell is two and . half inches
thick, in which q hole was cut, RAINING To
the main wall around the penitentiary.
This wall was cut under, and the party es'
! capped ito the open country. The night was
dark, aud a heavy rain Was falling ut the
time.
That their escape was connived at by gym
pathizers there is little doubt.
The manner of escape was ingenious, but
after all il was simple enough when based
upon The almost certain theory thar tuey W re
CORRECTLY informed as to the ground they had
" work through.
By patient labor for nearly four weeks,
with small pocket knives, they dug through
tue floor o.: their cells, composed Il about
one loot of stone and brick, down intoa four
foot se%er.
Two. weeks ago one Of the escaped priso
mere asked the guard tor a few boards to cover
the bottom Of the cells, giving as an excuse
Scat the damp stone was injurious to their
health. The unsuspicious guard granted their
request. The boards were USED W cover up
the holes they were cutting.
On the night oI their escape, on retiring to
their several cells, Dick Morgan mtllased to
change With bis brother JOHN from the upper
to the lower tier.
Alter getting iatu tie sewer, they crawled
to the heavy grating and masonry at its mouth
but !ognd they could not escape by that route.
rhey. however,, made u hole upward to a
heayy pile Of coal, Yhifih rolled in on them
to such vi extent that tiley were forced " 60
;urther back into the yard. They lhen ex-
rayated the soft earth clear under the main
wall. aud so correctly was the distance calcu
lated that they came out into the open road
one foot from the found stion.
9 Une of tie party. Captain Hines, was by
trade u brigk-mason, anu seems to nave had
the management of he whole sifalr.

State Offices filled b *. . traps OF Lincoln
Who will par.icipass in those elections !
The experiment has been tried in the
Western District, ssd with what result :
The true hearted masses scorned to debase
themselveS by sharing in the degrading
ceremony. Grant that few do vote, and
a FEW is all they want as a pretext for as
Stunning to be the regular government. What
difference does It make2 Wilt add sta
bility or give reqpact to the pretended gov
erumentH Can It exist moment longer, by
reason Of these facts than the presence Of
tbomilitary continucsg If, even after the
elections and after the officers chosen in
them are indicted into Office, the military
arm is Withdrawn, what becomes Of them !?
Take the pretended Governor, for example.
safely ensconced for time in the capitol
at Nashville, and conceive the Lincoln amy
crossing the Cumberland in retreat, aud our
victorious legious fast upon their heels, do
you suppose his pretended Excellency
would stop to claim his constitutional right
to his Office? Rather he would bd ayin-
in thesvan Of his late protectors with his
coat tails streaming in the wind, freely
leaving the State and his boosted constitu-
tional government to the rebels" and to
those to whom they rightfully belong So
it would be with the pretended Legislators,
aud with each aud every bastard vile enough
10 accept and hold cfice under such pre-.
fences.
After all, then, the destiny Of those un"
fortunate portions Of the State in the ooou
patton Of the enemy is to be determined
BY the military strength aud proves Of the
contendiug armies. If We fail to get pos
session before August, aud they should hold
their elections, they may subject our OPP
pressed fellow citizens to additional insult
md outrage through the forms of usurpsd
constitution ), but this is irremediabe 1t
IS supreme folly to, talk about legislatine
the State out Of the difficulty unless you
first throw the constitution overheard AID
even then you could give the people no re-
lief If those persons who so glibly speak
OF the e masterly inactivity" of the Gov
erOor will undertake to legislate the army
oi Gen. ROsecrans out Of the State by an
ace Of the General Assembly, aud can sat
'siy anybody that such,a scheme is practi-
cable, the Governor, We are sure, will lose
MT day till the labor is accomplished.
md until they suggest some good that can
be accomplished by convenihg the Legisla~
turo in extraordinary session we respeCt-
fully ask that they suspend snimadversion
upon most patriotic, energetic aud sa-
saCioua public officer, who has surveyed
this question i'd al its bearings, aud has
acted upon It, 80 far, wisely and well.
