Release of Prisoners.

All the Confederate prisoners in the
Ohio Penitentiary, consisting of the ofi-
GERS and men of the raider John Morgan
were released on Friday last from that
prison, in which they have been incarcer-
ated since last August. Among them are
Col. Dick Morgan, brother to the redoubt-
able John, Mai. Highly, and several 9th
crs who are more distinguished in the
Southern Confederacy than they are here
The other brother of John, g G. Nor
gan, was exchanged a few days ago, for
Capt. Stanton, SON oi ex-Lieut. Governor
Benjamin Stanton, who was captured by
the rebels at thesbattle of Chickamauga.
The Statesman of Saturday says the
brother of John Morgan and one of the
chief men in the raid on Ohio. was re-
leased aud sent on his way rejoicing to
Fortress Monroe, from whence he will be
taken by the flag of truce boat, to Rich
inond,, where an ovation awaits him, while
his fellow captives are only transferred to
Fort Delaware, between which and the
Penitentiary there is scarcely room for a
choice. s
In addition to the sixty three Morgan's
men relea sed from the Penuentiary yes
terday, there were two hundred and eigh-
ty prisoners from Camp Chase released
and marched to the Penitcntiary, whe e
they were united with thar crowd, march
ed to the depot, and shipped together for
Fort Delaware. This relieves Columbus
and its vicinity of all rebels, and many
venerable ladies of the narrowing fear that
has haunted them since the escape of the
original John, that he would some day
come back with "twice FIVE thousand
men" to release his comrades in the Pen
itentiary, and destroy the city which for
so long time was the scene of their igno-'
minious Observation-Disclosures.

The National Debt Measured
and weighed.

Mr.. John Fair, calculating machine
of this city, thus measures and weighs
four thousand millions of dollars. which
he assumes is, or is to be the National
Debt:
cit has been said that this debt is SO
great that it is too vast for comprehension
Now as a practical man l propose to
weigh it and measure it, that we may
thereby obtain more definite idea of its
immensely
'sA silver dollar measures l. inches in
diameter. Ss placed edge to edge will
make one foot in length, $24 SO placed
will make one yard in length and S42 240
so placed will make one mile in length.
The earth is 21 600 miles in circumer-
ence. 1t would. therefore, require Sl2,-
3S4, 900 to go once around it. This vast
sum must be multiplied by four and 40
to make it equal to the amount of our
National debE, which would make the sill
yer dollars go around the earth 5 circum-
ference four times and cover S,640 miles
besides. Allowing silver dollar to weigh
an ounce, Ii to pound 2,000 lbs. to the
ton, our debt would weigh 125, 900 tons,
and would require l25 ships, of 600 tons
burthen each to carry it.
at would make 81, 500 truck loads, of
two tons each; and calculating that each
truck will cover space of 80 feet. they
would stretch distance of ;555 miles, and
make chain of trucks which would en-
compass the great cities of New York,
Albany, and Troy in an elliptical line. 1t
would take man 365 years and 40 days
to count the amount of this vast debt, esti-
mating that he would count $50 per minute
working ten hours day and six days
week.

MIscEGE NATIoN.-The adominable dog
ma of the Abolitionist, cuphoniously de-
nominated ''the commingling Of the
races, is attracting considerable atten-
ton, and producing considerable com
ment. Alluding to the hybrid idea the
Louisville journal in its usual pointed
manner remarks that :" There is to be
substituted hybrid race, an amalgama-
ton cross between the abolitionists and
the negro. Such crosses usually result in
deNrioration of both the original stocks.
Whef her in this instance it would be like
ly tofmprove the abolitionist we are not
prepared to say. but all men of observa,
tipui will agree that 1t must materially
injure the uegro."

KNoxvILLE, March 31.-The rebels
after destroying the trestle at Bulls Gap
fell back beyond Greenville. They took
up the wagon and railroad bridge across
Lick creek and carried off a portion OF

continue coming in and report large num-
bers trying to make their way into the
Union lines. q a+sf dfol Hst

forthwith, to make a raid in Kentucky.

Of Congress Who 80 industrious1y and Ell.

wonld be singular If they did not organize eI-
petitions and raids for plunder, burning and
murder. Our home traitors, thtnu to the
efficiency Of the military authorities arc pref
ty well wccded ont. Let us haye the same
zeal and vigilance In fe7eting out5pen rebels,
New York, Cincinnati, Chicago, st, Lor1s and
other cities, are full Of their 1ebel spies and
incendiaries, aided and abetted by notorious
Southern refugees, who walk our Streets aud
proclaim their sentiments boldly. We call
upon our civil aud military authorities to
mark these men and watch them. A thor.
ough examination Of the fugitive rebels now
IN the North would be simple measure Of
prudence. Gen. Dix's order Of registry should
be, enforced here, and every Southern man.
and Southern woman be compelled to rive
an account Of themselves. We are only piay-
Ing with fire to disregard such precaution.
The treason that could undermine The Can.
stitution Is capable Of accomplishing any vii
latny Of which the heart can conceive.
New York city has good cause to cxamine
well the position she now holds before the
country. While VIC would not abate a jot or tit
lie from the exertions of the good Union men
Fithin her limits, 1t is well for her TO under.
tand that the whole commercial interest OF
he country holds her responsible for that
hirty-ei1 thousand majority piled up in 1iayor
4 Southern traitors. 1t is no excuse thatt the
orciggn element casts the vote, while Belti-
more, Philadelphia and Chicago gain majori.
les in favor Of the Government. They, too,
ave large foreign element but they have
o Wall streets to control that element.
