This attempt is the boldest and the one
earest successful ever made In the present

AYE been At liberty. So certain were they Of
scapipg, that they wrote, intending to leave
,ehind them two letters, ons directed to su-
oerintendent Bradley, and the other to Mr.
Folz the Jailor, thanking them for kind atten-
lions, and expressing regrets that they could
not wait until these attentions culmtuated In
trial and conviction.
The Sanitary EOmnlfs1Ion and Hos
pfta1 Supplies.
The Chicago Sanitary Commission has been
sending down large supplies Of stores to
Yicasburg, for some weeks. It was necessary
to attend to that point fully, IS suitable food
while they could be At Memphis. The Com
mission has Just sent forward large shipmcnts !
10 Memphis, which will hereafter be the base |
Of hospital supplies. Great complaint has
been made Of the condition Of the Helena !!
hospitals. We are happy to be able to state |
that they are discontinued, by order Of Gen.
Grant. There were !, 200 sick at Helena. It
will crafty an friends Of the soldiers to |
learn that one boat load Of these brave men |
arrived at Memphis on Wednesday Last, and |
were plsced In comfortable hospitals there,
where they win be tenee1ly nursed and
greatly benefited. by the tull supplies just
sent to that point.
The statement which appeared few days
ago. that all sanitary stores for Memphis and
other points down the river, were to be sent
to Maj. Robb, Of the Illinois State Sanitary
Commission, Is mistake. The order WAS
issued By Gsn. Hurlbut, requiring that sail
stores directed to Maj. Robb shonld be sent
to Maj. Robb." DR.. T. A. Warriner is the
tried and efficient agent Of the United States
Sanitary Commission for the Department Of
the Tennessee, to whom the Sanitary Com.
mission stores are sent, as they have hereto
lore been.
