AN ESCAPED PRIsoNER's OPINION
We find in the Greensboro Patriot An
interesting account Of the escape Of a
North Carolina officer and Some others
from johnson Island, by way Of Canada.
We suppose the writer TO be Major Win
ston Of Rockingham county, N. c., sad
Of the Ash Regt, who has recently
reached his home. lie says at 10 esti
mated that over three hundred escaped
Confederate prisoners are now in Canada
waiting Al opportunity to get bome."-
Speaking Of his experiences in the North,
he says:
"To the Confsderates, one who knows
would speak, cheer up. Our enemies are
becoming disorganiEed. $4,000 Yankee
deser.ers are now 10 Canada. As to old
regiments re eulisting, it is all humbug.
Their treasury is failing; when this takes
place soldiers who fight under thousand
dollar boun,ies will not fight. Cheer up.
God with the Weapon Of right will con
qner glorious peace"

sion Society to take possession Of every

the limits Of what have been known as
the Rebe! States, aud Of every Other Bap-
list meeting house now in the hand, Of
the rebels. This great authorization MAS
obtained through the agency Of the Home
Mission Secretary and Senator Harris,
aud the Home Mission Board will need
pre- eminent wisdom and energy, besides
many men and much means, adequately
to meat their new responsibilities. The
Baptist population Of the seeding S,ates
is probably larger than that Of any other
denomination, and hundreds OF aban.

Government will give. them every pracu.
