Attempted Escape Of Rebel Pris.
Oners.
WASHINGTON, Feb. II.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II.
This evenings Star has the following.
The King Phillip, acting master Frank.
arrived at the Navy Yard, yesterday af
ternoon, from the lower Potomac.
A few days ago, the officers at the
camp of the rebel prisoners of war at
Point Lookout discovered that some of
the prisoners were evidently making ar
rangements to escape from their quar-
tiers. 1t appears that by some means
the prisoners in one of the quarters had
procured some lumber with which they
had built two boats, in which it was
supposed they were to embark for the
Virginia shore. Fortunately they were
detected in their operations before they
had caulked their boats. 1t appears.
also, that they had collected some 70 old
muskets and a lot of stones, scarce ar
ticle in that locality, and which must
have been brought some distance, which
they probably designed using AGAINST
any persons who should resist them
1t is thought however, that but few of
the prisoners were to attempt the es-
cape unless, indeed, more boats were to
be built, as the boats discovered would
not be able to carry more than so per-
sons

A CUD FOR BosToS TO CHRw.-Here is
fact for the reflection of Boston mer-
chants One of the largest factories in
Berkshire county is exactly equi-distant
from Boston and New York-railroad all
the way to each city. But while the
freight TO and from New York is 81 90 a
hundred, that to and from Boston is
46c J Except for the difference in favor
OF New York, it would be for the inter-
est of the factory to do all its business
in Boston, this turns the scale, and
much of it goes to New York. Nearly
all of Western Massachusetts trades in
New York r. Their than in Boston; and
one of the principal reasons is that freight
is cheaper, or as cheap, though the dis
lance is generally greater to the former
city. Why, and what's the remedy =
Springfield Republican.
The question Of the Republican can
best be answered in Springfield. More
than three-quarters of the route over
which freight must pass to and from
Western Massachusetts is controlled in
that city. If the facts were thoroughly
investigated it would probably be found
that the Western railroad, built with
the money of the State of Massachusetts.
actually discriminates in its local tariffs
in favor of New York. Have the private
interests of the President of that road in
steamboat navigation on the Hudson
anything to do with this discrimination 2

THE ESCAPE OF Coz. SrRRIGHT. is
one of the most singular condolences
of the war that Col Streight, for whom
John Morgan was held as hostage,
should have escaped from prison at
Richmond in precisely the same manner
as Morgan got away from Columbus.
Col. Streight was the commander OF the
first bold and dashing raid which was
made into rebel territory, and the Rich
mond despots have had peculiar spite
against him, which has been manifested
in harsh treatment, and for many months
close confinement in n dungeon. His
Imprisonment has continued, we believe,
for more than year. The fact that he
has escaped from the tender mercies of
the rebels will cause rejoicing every
where, and particularly at the West,
where he is best known.

This gentleman who visited America
about thirty years ago, has again made
his appearance. He was regarded by
the anti-slavery people as an eloquent
champion of their cause. We recollect
hearing him speak at an anti-slavery
meeting, but we were not profoundly
impressed with either his eloquence or
his refinement. On taking the vote on
some question, a very faint opposition
was given. In abiding to this circum-
stance afterwards, he said those persons
sounded like rats in consumption
We also have recollection of the hand
bills that were posted at the corners of
the streets, calling upon Bostomans
to seize upon this foreign intermeddler,
wherever they could find him, and
"snake" him out Of the city,-a call to
which a good many Bostonians were
found ready to respond.
Times are changed, certainly, since
then, and some people have changed
with them. We imagine that one of
the most striking changes, to the mind
of Mr.. Thompson, will be, that Mr.. Gar
rison has become quite conservative.
He thinks that the President is really
doing as much for the cause of emanci-
patton as could reasonably be expected.
We sincerely hope that Mr.. Thompson's
visit will be pleasant; that he will have
learned wisdom from experience that
he will exert a good influence here, and
carry with him such impressions as will
have good influence upon his country
men at home. @

MASS MEETING AT MIDELETowN-A
very pleasant and interesting S. S. Mass
Meeting was held, under the auspices OF
the Rutland Co. s. s. Union, at Middle
town, on the 18th and 10th inst. Able
and interesting addresses were made by
Revs. W. l.. Palmer and s. G. Hale of
Poultney, followed by remarks by Revs.
Granger, Frenyer, Noe and Haynes of
Middleton, Gates of Tinmouth, J. Henry
Giles of Hydeville, and many laymen
whose suggestive practical experience
was of great value. The singing by the
children on the afternoon of the 10th
was Of the highest order and reflects
great credit upon the town commit
tee to whose untiring efforts it's ex-
cellence is mainly due. The ladies dis
played their good will and good taste in
the collation. as the ladies of Middletown
know how, and the general influence of
the meeting cannot be otherwise than
salutary.

Interesting Account of the Escape
of Union Prisoners.

BALTIMORE, Feb. IL.
The escaped Union officers reached
here this morning, and go to Washing
ton this afternoon. The account of their
escape is full of thrilling interest, but
for prudential reasons many particulars
are withheld from publication at pres
ent, They were fifty-one days in ma
king tunnel, having managed to find
access to the cellar. They commenced
work, relieving one another as they had
opportunity. Their instruments were
case knives, pocket knives, chisels and
files. Twice they had to abandon their
work and commence anew on account
of the distractions which they could
not pass. They had hoped to avail
themselves of a culvert, but found it i'm
practicable. After getting through the
wall they disposed of the soil by draw
ing 1t out in a spittoon which they at
tached to cord. This would be filled
by the party at work in the tunnel and
pulled out into the cellar by their com
panions who disposed of it by spreading
it in shallow layers over the floor and
concealing it beneath the straw. The
work was necessarily very slow, so close
they could not remain in it but a few
minutes at time, and their candles
would go out. At one time they got so
near the bend of the street shat a small
hole about the size of stove pine broke
through, but fortunately was not dis
covered by the guard, and was a great
service in admitting air and enabling
them to work more rapidly. The tun-
mel when completed was about sixty
feet long and opened into an old tobacco
shed beyond the line of guards. As
soon as they found the way clear they
emerged slowly in small squads of two
or three and sauntered off until they got
clear OF the guards, making their wav
towards the Williamsburg road by the
shortest routes. The darkness favored
them, and the fact that all the rebel SOL
diers whom they met Were habited in
the army coats of Uncle Sam, which
they had stolen from the supplies sent
TO our prisoners by our government was
OF great service to them Although thew
were attired in our army overcoats and
many OF them had their hayersacks
they found the national uniform a bet
ter disguise than if they had been pro-
Vlded with genuine uniforms. In order
to elude the pursuers who they knew
would soon be on their track they scat
tered as much as possible.
Many were their hardships and suffer
lngs, and frequent were their narrow es-
capes from the rebel cavalry, who the
next morning were bush-whacking in
every direction for them. The JOY which
they experienced when they first caught
sight OF our troops sent out to help
and protect them from their pursuers.
cannot be expressed. To the officers
and men of the Eleventh Pennsylvania
cavalry whom they first met, they ex-
press most profound gratitude for their
lnbounded Kindness and also bear tes-
timony to the gallantry with which
these gallant fellows pursued the rebel
cavalry and rescued many of the way-
worn fugitives who otherwise would
have been recaptured. There is good
'eason to hope that many more will yet
come in safe.

NIGHT Subsistence, after long expe-
rience and most careful tests, finds that
the most fertilizing and effective man
ures is that of man.
"The Chinese knew it for ages past
No Chinese peasant, Eckeberg tells us,
ever goes to the city without carrying
back, at the two ends of his bamboo,
two buckets Of night soil. Thanks to
human fertilization, the earth in China
is still as young as ins the days of
Abraham. Chinese wheat yields one
hundred and twenty fold. There is no
guano comparable in fertility. To en-
ploy the city to enrich the plain is true
economy. If our gold is filth, on the
other hand our filth is gold" Vietor

Restoration OF Government for
southern states.

Henry Winter Davis, Chairman of the
Committee on the Rebellious States has
introduced Bill providing among other
things, that when all military resistance
has ceased in certain States, an enroll
ment shall be made of the white male
citizens. If one tenth of these shall take
the oath of allegiance, convention
shall be called by the provisional COVER
nor to constitute State government
No past or present rebel oflice-holder
shall vote or be eligible as delegate
The delegates shall meet and adopt a
constitution declaring slavery forever
abolished. On the adoption of the con-
stitution the state government can be
elected, Some surprise has been ex-
pressed that Mr.. Davis should object to
the admission of Mr.. James M. johnson,
Representative elect from Arkansas
But he did it on the ground that it has
not vet been ascertained that Arkansas
had a State government. He moved
that the credentials Of Mr.. Johnson be
laid on the table. The patriots of Ar
kansas, Louisiana and other rebel states
seem to be in terrible hurry to get into
the old Congress once more.
