Escape of Federal officers from Richmond.
WASHINGTON, Feb If.
a gentleman who tonight arrived from the
Army OF the Potomac saw before he left them
a Richmond paper Of Thursday, found on the
person OF deserter who came into our lines,
III which appears an article stating that 100
officers have escaped from the Libby prison
by digging tunnel under the street for that
purpose. 1t is supposed that the prisoners
had been engaged in the work for at least a
month. They were missed at roll call, and
forthwith troops were dispatched in variaus di-
rections to capture them. Four were overtak-
en- on the Williamsburg and Hanover Court
House road. The others, it is suspected, were
scattered III the neighborhood of Richmond.
The guards were arrested on the belief that
they were in collision with the prisoners, but
afterwards released. The paper says that
Gen. Neal Dow was not among the runaways,
but was probably waiting to accompany the
next batch.
Capt John f. Porter, of the 14th New York
cavalry, arrived here to-day overland from
Richmond, having escaped two weeks ago
from the Libby prison. He left the prison in
rebel uniform, having secured an abandoned
one, and remained nine days in Richmond
without exciting suspicion.
The rations issued to the officers in the pris-
on consisted of quart Of rice to ten men ev-
cry eight days, a small piece Of corn bread ev-
cry day to each, about four ounces of very
poor fresh meat once week, and salt and vim
egar very rarely.

Pursuit Of GuerriiIas.
New York. Feb.

New YORK. Feb. IA.
The Nashville Unoin OF the 10th says -
Some eight or ten days ago a part of General
Payne's cavalry went on a scouting expedition
through the counties bordering on Kentucky.
About the same time Col. w. b. Stokes reei-
ment of cavalry left this place to cooperate
with them, and going by way of Alexandria,
visited White, Putnam, and other towns and
counties. The Gallatine expedition would
start the game and drive it down upon their
comrades from Nashville. Gen. Payne's men
succeeded in killing thirty-two and capturing
sixty-three rebel guerrlllas. Among the pris-
oners was Col Murray, Of Warren County, a
politician OF some note, who was on the
Breckenridge electoral ticket. He was con-
veyed, with other prisoners, to Gallatine.-
Col Stokes cavalry killed seventeen rebels
but took no prisoners. The Union scouts did
not lose man.

NEW YORK, Feb IA.
The steamship Morning Star, from New Or
leans via Havana, has arrived.
The Spanish war steamer Utamar arrived at
on the morning of the 9th with brig in tow,
having on board 700 slaves, captured at Rem
edios, on the North side of Cuba.
Ne,c Orleans, Feb. There are no army
movements Of importance.
The split still continues between the differ
ent wings of the Free State parties in this
city. 1t amounts virtually to contest be-
tween the friends OF Hahn and Flanders as to
which party shall have the honor of inducing
their candidates into the Gubernatorial chair.
Fifty-one of the eighty-seven delegates who
met in the State convention on the 1st inst.
were friends of Mr.. Hahn.
The re-enllstment Of veterans progresses
finely. The 14th Maine is the last regiment
recorded. 1t has just arrived in the city on
its way home.

The Herald's Army of the Potomac dispatch
Of the 18th says: Mostly has been dashng
upon and skirmishing with our pickets near
Manassas this afternoon and evening, but
cavalry force has gone out in pursuit Of him,
and may bring him in on 4 stretcher. 1t is
reported that two or three of our pickets were
killed.
1t is significant that the 4Sth Mississippi
regiment from which the deserters come, re-
leyed an Alabama regiment that could no
longer be trusted on picket. A squad of reb-
ell soldiers were asked yesterday, while being
escorted by guard near the army headquar-
tiers, If they were captured. The reply was,
" No, we deserted, and there are plenty more
on the other side of the Rapidan who would
do the same If they could"

4ftdck on Gen. Sherman's Expedition.

CAIRO, H., Feb II.
Memphis papers OF the 18th contain no
news.
The steamer Platte Valley has returned
from Savatila, on the Yazoo, where she and
the other transports and gunboats, with Por-
ter's and Sherman's expedition, were attacked
on the 9Th inst by a force of 1000 Texans,
who, with artillery and musketry, fired into
the transports. wounding six soldiers. A fight
ensued, in which portion of our infantry and
the gunboats participated, and which resulted
in dislodging and driving the enemy, but with
what loss is not known. Eight OF our men
were killed and thirty wounded. The It'll
Illinois regiment, with negro cavalry and in
fantry, were engaged in the affair. The enemy
were also driven from Mechanicsville without
loss to us.
A sick negro soldier, belonging to Col.
Woods command, who had struggled from
his regiment, was murdered by the rebels. A
lieutenant and two privates, who committed
the deed, were captured, and Col. Wood, in
retaliation, had them blindlolded and caused
them to kneel on the dead body of the negro
they had murdered, when they were shot.
All was quiet at Little Rock. Deserters
were arriving in large numbers, and regiments
were being formed of them, two of which had
already been filed.

FlRE.-The wool factory of A. d. & G. n.
Hayes, on Portland street, near Libby's corner,
caught fire Saturday forenoon in the drying
room. BY the efficient efforts of the firenen,
the flames were confined to the upper part of
the main building, which was damaged to the
amount of 500 or $500. There was some
damage done to the stock, but how much can
not yet be ascertained. The loss is fully COW
cred by insurance, there being $4,000 insured
on the buildings and stock at the agency of J.
w. Munger, Esq.
The hand engine which has been placed in
that portion of the city, and which is manned
by citizens there, proved very efficacious at
this fire. 1t was on the ground and at work
before any other engines arrived at the scene.
