1t is stated that Roger A. Pryor would prob
ably be released upon tho rendition Of Captain
Burage, who was captured by the rebels under
similar circumstances. 1t may be found that
the Government has q prior claim upon this spy
and traitor, who was engaged upon detached
service In confidential relations with General
Lee, and as captain of his spies.
1t Is generally conceded that this Roger A.
Pryor was as deeply implicated in the rebel
lion in Its hrst inciplency, and that he was as
active in lighting the fires OF treason, and has
continued to fan Its flames as zealously as any
other traitor. He is one OF the conspirators
that our Government cannot afford to eek
change " on easy terms.

A wonderfat Esespe-The sunsrings of
Leuts Drake and Leyvis.

DHsAo anu ktwhs
The many friends Of this gallant officer
learn that he arrived ~ his home In this city
on saturday morning last, having made most
wondariol escape from his enemies In South
carolina. We happened TO be At the depot on
the arrival OF the Lieutenant, but 90 changed
and wan was his appearance that we had con-
siderable difficulty In recognizing him.
IL Will be recollected that Lieut.. Drake was
taken prisoner, with Gen. Hickman, early last
summer, when the rebels took advantage Of a
dense fog to attack Gen. Buffers lines, near
Bermuda Hundred. He was sent TO Macon,
and from there to Charleston.
On the evening of October 9, while IN transitu
from Charleston 10 Columbia, 8. c., Lieut.. j,
Madison Drake, with three brother officers,
Jumped from the train and ran into the woods.
Bloodhounds were Immediately loosed, but by
wading through heavy laurel and cypress
swamps for several days, the officers eluded
further pursuit. During this time they suffered
greatly from want Of provisions---grspes, per
simmons and berries being their chief staple Of
iood. subsequently they lived six days on hard.
dry corn, which Lieut.. Drake assures us was
quite palAtable.
After reaching point 200 miles from the
coast the negroes ministored unto their wants,
supplying an abundance Of corn meal and sor.
gnum molasses. Meat could not be obtained
f-.N~ asOoShiuB huo WUuuLhlQb Oh w est
ern North Carolina, the officers fell in with
hundreds Of rebel deserters, Unionists, &c,
These poor people did everything in their
power for the officers, not only supplying them
with articles OF food, but guiding and conduct
ing them from one mountain to another, at the
imminent risk Of their lives. 1t was in Cald-
well county that the officers organized COM
pany OF loyal North Csrolinisns. These re-
crults-mostly men who had refused to serve
In the rebel army-accompsnied our friends
over 200 miles, when the rebel guerrillas be-
coming dangerous and annoying, the majority
OF the Carolinians halted, deeming 1t impru-
dent TO advance further until the path became
more open and clear.
Lieutenants Drake and Lewis, however. de-
termined TO get into Goods country" con-
tinued on their course, and succeeded, after
various mlshaps and adventures, In safely
reaching Knoxville, East Tennessee, on the
evening OF November Is, having marched over
SIX hundred and fifty miies In Just six weeks.
Lieut.. Drake and Lieut.. Lewis marched several
hundred miles in q nearly barefooted condi-
ton, portion Of the distance in four inches
Of snow. Lieat. Drake had his feet badly
frozen.
This escape is considered one Of the most
daring and wonderful that has been effected
since the commencement OF the REBELLION

HARRISBURG, Nov. 29.-By a provision of
the law controlling the election OF Presidential
electors, 1t 10 made the duty Of the Governor to
ascertain the votes Of each elector, and then
declare the persons thus elected by proclama-
tion, and cause notification to be delivered
ts each person chosen on or before the last
Wednesday Of November next after such cleo
tion.
II now appears that up 10 noon to-day fifteen
counties have failed to report their vote for
electors. This failure Is accounted for on the
ground OF the time having been extended by
the law granting the elective franchise to the
soldiers. Lacking these fifteen counties the re-
turns are Of course incomplete, and no notice
can Issue tomorrow TO the electors thus cho-
sen.
Tho contingency growing out OF this state Of
Affairs will require the attention Of the Legsla-
ture, and no doubt secure the passage OF law
preventing the recurrence Of similar state OF
affairs. II is evident that the law on the sub
ject Is more directory than obligatory, and that
any action which the Governor may take in
the premises looking merely to the execution
ofjustice, will be endorsed by all right-minded
men.
