The E-caped Union Prisoners.

By this time it must be evident that not one
in ten of our officers who We're successful in their
escape from Libby prison would have been thus
lucky, had it not been for aid rendered them by
negroes Liet, Scott of the s9th Ohio with two
other officers, report as follows:
Hiding in sedge grass. .wading through swamps,

ed a plantation eight miles from the Chicka-

though they ran the eight miles in about an
hour, they were nearly frozen. They found at
the crossing three skiffs, and with pieces of
rafters for oars broke channel through the
thick ice and ferried over in an hour. Once over

Hard Nuts TO Crack.

Few people are aware now of the large num-
Der of impregnable foatified works that are now
being constructed along the Mississippi river by
our troops-mainly by our negro troops. By
inlpreqRGble we do not mean that all these works
are absolutely beyond the possibility of capture
by any conceivable force; but simply that they
cannot be taken by any enemy that could be
marched or massed against them-not, for in
stance, by the whole military power of the
Southern Confederacy, much less by the com
bined armies and navies of France and England.
The rebels indicated to us what were the strong
est natural positions on the river; and some OF
them the rebels make strong effort to hold,
but in each and other instances they failed for
want of proper appliances. These positions,
such as Port Hudson, Vicksburg and Others,
have been taken hold of by our troops and
around them have been built new works, COM
pared with which the rebel works were con-
temptible, while our appliances of artillery and
our iron clad naval supports add indefinitely to
their superiority. We venture TO say that if
jeff. Davis were 10 marshal all the armies of the
South against Vicksburg, he could not capture
it in twenty years,nor, for that matter in twenty
centuries. And there are twenty places ON the
Mississippi river of which the same thing might
be said. We should like 10 inquire of jeff Da-
what he proposes doing about it?

The Last Hope Fails.

The last hope of the Confederate Government
of any assistance from England was frosted at
the opening of Parliament. Mr.. Disraeli, in a
speech on the Queens address, complained
among other things, of the omission OF any allu-
sion to American affairs. Lord Palmerston re-
piled to Disrael and stated, in effect that the
policy of England was so well established to-
wards this country that any allusion to it in the
address would be surplusage. In the course of
his remarks he said:
Why, we have over and over again lamented,
and still continue to lament, the continuance of
that war, and we have declared more than ence
that her Majesty's government processes to act,
and intend to continue to act, upon a principle
of strict neutrality in regard to that contest
Unless the House had thought that her Majes-
ty's government was going to depart from that
course, of which there is no indication whatev
er, it would have been matter of surplusage to
have filled the speech with repetition of the
statements made on former occasions, and which
are still binding upon her Maiesty's govern
ment.
In view of this, the Southern Independence
Association in England may well put up its
shutters and hang sign I" To Rent on its es-
tablishment

''The Statue of Freedom completed y
''7Ke statue of Freedom, placed ontSe dome
of the Capitol"
Such are the headings under which the
papers chronicle the completed labors OF
the architects and artists at Washington.
On the first hasty glance, at twilight, we
were inclined to read it.
The STATUE Of Freedom completed
Would to heaven it were so. The stat
ne should have been completed and eleva-
ted, in the first place. Itwould have been
in time to have displayed the symbol, when
it could have been regarded as an appro-
pirate and truthful one.
When freedom" is held paramount, and
not made secondary, then, but no sooner,
should the statue of Freedom be seen Eat
the top" of the Capitol
Let us, however, hope, that the symbol
will prove the prophetic type and forerun-
ner of the reality. Let Congress lose no
time in giving us THE STATUE OF FREEDOM
COMPLETED.
