Prom the Louisville Journal, January is
A dispatch was received by 0 military su-
thoTites, on Saturday, announcing the escape
OF siI rebel prisoners from the officers having
them IN charge, az Seymour, Ind on the JET
fersonviile railrsad The Cffieers left this place
on Thursday last, having about fifty prisoners
in charge for Camp Chase, and upon arriving
st the above named point, they found it neces-
sary to change cars, aud the prisoners were ac-
coTdingiy required TO wait until the train on the
Ohio and N ssssippi arrived. During this in
terval Capt. Perkins, and five other rebel Off
GERS, made their escape.
Last evening, Lieut. Lloyd, officer of tho
patrol guard, met Perkins coming out OF the
Gait House, and, observing that he wore Con.
federAte fiicers vest, he'd his suspicious
aroused, aud, hastily turning, halted him. Per
kins advanced, and, shaping Lieut.. Lloyd on
the shoulder, remarked: well you have got
me again" and acknowledged that he was Cant
Perkins. Tho ieuiOnant had never seen him
before, bnt folt in noWiss Il clined 10 DISPUTE
his word, and accordingly ltdged him ia the
Military Prison.
Perkins states that he slipped away from the
officers al Seymour, and walked down the rail
road q pieeC where be awaited the train. and
took passage on il to JeffersonVille He dis
claims having any knowledge of the otbess
who escaped and says that be came to this civ
alone HIS father lives in Middle Tennessee,
near franklin and he intended to 90 from this
city TO Memphis, from which place he could
| easily reach nome.
We have not learned tho circumstance undeI
which the prisoner escaped.

The Washington correspondent Of the Gin
cinnltl Commercial makes out Gen. GRANT as
strong an Abolilionist as LIEcoLN. In letter
dated the 18Th ult, it is asserted that the latter
had Just received letter from tho former fully
indoTsing ths late message and proclamation. "
Also, stat "it can be stated on the authority OF
tho President that letter was recsiyed At the
White House a few months since, from General
GRANT, in which it is stated that tho emancipa-
ton proclamation and tho aIming Of the negroes
were The two deadliest blows yet aimed at the
rebellion. Ia tho same letter the general says
be is not able 10 obtain as many negroes as be
desires, because the rebels run shem off into tho
interior, but he hoped to be able to do 80 when
ne got further into tho onemy's couairy. An
extract from this letter was se,ually incorporated
osyaatim BY LINCOLN into his celebrated letter
10 the Springfield (Il } IInien convention
The New York Herald and other conservs-
tive journals, have been Recommending GRANT
for She presidency, and referring to this fact the
same correspondent says they viii be slow TO
believe it, but if they win make the proper in
quiry, they will ascertain the truth 10 be that
they are supporting an out and out Abolitionist. .
