loss Of good msny eassls. So far from this being
true he last week captured the iowa Of A.hsns.-

the following account Of his movements:
TWO members of aoddy's command, who arrived
here yesterday bring the news Of the capture o

from Tuscumbta, and obtained their information
from Lieutenant of the command, whom they

temp1zsed moving on athens in two columns. He
sent Johnson's cavalry regiment and battaiion OF

cavalry Of Hanaan's regiment aod Noreiand bat

he force under Col. johnson reached Bainhridgs
on the river, few miles above Florence, and there
encountered the enemy, about 600 or 900 strong,
under Col. Phillips, who was u @comulaad ~

Escape Of &venteen Yankes Rrtsoners.-
Some time during Monday night last seven
teen Yankee prisoners, confined in Palmer'S
warehouse, opposite Castle Thunder, effected
their escape. The building occupies about
half square, and is divided in the middle
by brick wall The east end was formerly
used as the Engineers department, bat for
the past few weeks has been unoccupied;
and the prisoners, who were confnedin the
west end of the building, cut through this
brick wall, thereby obtaining access to the
second story windows fronting on 10Th street,
through which they descended to the ground
by means of tying together number of
their blankets Yesterday morning two Of
them were brought back. After escaping
they walked out to one of the stationary
batteries near this city, and asked permis-
sion t. enlist, alleging that they were tired
of prison life, and their only motive In es-
Gaping therefrom was to obtain work or to
Join some company, so that they would be
privileged to enjoy outdoor exercise end
fresh air. We understand that n,s blame
can be attached to the guard stationed at
this prison.
