DR.. Mudd's ATTEMPTED Escape.

The HercM's Fortress Monroe correspondent
has the following particulars of the attempt to
escape made by Dr. Mudd:
As heretofore published, she Doctor cnioyed
unusual liberties the island. through his being
detailed in the Hospital Department. Through the
advantage Of his liberty he managed to sccrete
himself in the coal bunkers of the steamer Thomas
Scott. When lie was found 10 be missing, most
thorough search of the steamer instituted TO
find him and the search very abandoned
and the idea of his coneealment in ii given up.
when an officer WHO was assisting in the search
thrust the point of his sword into the doctors face,
causing him to cry out and thereby make known
his place of conceament. The DIR. lay wholly hid
under the coal except & portion OF his face. On
his discovery he was taken back to prison aud put
at hard labor which occupation he is likely TO fol-
low for some time.
The Quartermaster of the Thomas Scott was
subsequently, arrested on the charge of completely
in aiding Dr.. Mudl to escape. There has been no
change in the disposition of the other assassin
eonsprators.

The Democrat, last week, in attempt to de-
iend Mr.. Houghton, the Democratic candidate .or
Recorder, says:
with the single exception of having once voted
for COlfax and the Bourbon Poney. for personal
reasons merely, unconnected with the Post Office
at Boubon. his record has been that of straight
out Democrat"
The election is now over and il will do no good
to pronounce the above statement false, so far as
the "singlc exception" ami the Post Office at
bourbon is concerned, but We deem il our duty
nevertheless, to say that Mr.. HOugnton not only
voted for Colfix and Parks in 1862, for the pur-
pose of retaining the Post Office but in 1861 voted
for the Republican candidates for Senator, Recor-
NAV have influenced his vote in 1862, but what
al. were we cannot say, unless he preferred Col
fax and the Bourbon Poney' to 4 drunken black
guard aud the Plymouth Bob.ail
What the Democrat says about the incompetent
cy Of Mr. Houghton's abolition predecessor
Mr.. Hewett, is not true Mr. Hewett volunteered
in tie FIRST company that was raised in the county,
and left the Office in the hands Of deputy tho
failed 10 attend to the duties satisfactorily, and
when il was determined to make change Hough
ton, so far from being Indifferent about accepting
the appointment, was very anxious to get it. and
in order to obtain il pledged himself to sustain the
var policy of the administration. We make this
statement now not from any personal antipathy to-
ward Mr.. Houghton, for our private relations have
always been friendly, but to vindicate the truth Ct
history.

An Odd Convert,

The Cincinnati Enquirer claims that Governor
Morton has planted himself squarey on the Demo
cratic platform. Whether it means the bourbon
Vallandigham" platform OF Ohio, or the anti
redundant Haskin platform OF New y ork, the En-
quirer does not say.
The particular portion of the Governors Rich
mond speech on which the Enquirer bases It's Jubi-
liant announcement of his conversion to the What
is-t party, We presume TO be the following:
want to say, first and foremost, in regard to
this party calling itself Democratic, that it is not
entitled to the confidence OF The public in any res
pcct. 1t is thoroughly tainted and saturated with
the virus of this rebellion. Ii broke the national
faith in 1854, by the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise. 1t took steps in advance, through the
ADMINISTRATION of Buchanan. for the purpose of
bringing on this rebellion Mr.. Buchanan and his
party supporters in Congress. in the winter Of
1861 proclaimed to the world that there was no
power to cOerce State; no power 10 suppress the
rebellion They declared that these States might
proceed without molesta:ion in the work Of dis
Indignation and destruction of the nation. This
Democratic party encouraged this rebellion by
assuring rebels in the South that there would be
no resistance offered on the part of the North to
their work of secession. IL opposed enlistments;
it opposed conscrpton; il opposed taxation for the
support Of the Governments; il deprecated the
national currency; it encouraged foreign nations to
intervene;it formed base conspiraces nthe North,
and sought to introduce the horrcrs Of civil war
into our homes here. and rs the last GROWING act
of wickedness at Chicago, last summer. that party
there proclaimed, in its national convention, that
the war WAS a failure, and it called upon the
Government and the nation to abandon it. ask
il such an organization as this is entitled now TO
receive public confidence? They, may now at
tempt TO change their professions as they have in

the grs back and put on the national uniform.

The County Asylum.

The Democrat last week had something to say
in defence of the action of the County Commits
sioners in awarding the contract for keeping the
County Asylum to the brother-in-law of the editor
in preference to Union man, who put in much
lower bid. The reason we were silent on the sub
jet was, that We did not hear any thing about the
operation, 90 slick and so sly was it done, until
two three days before last issue, and in pur
susiiee Of rule which We have always practiced,

Ger and lay the facts before our readers for their
calm consideration.
The Democrat did not attempt to defend the
action OF the Commissioners in employing Ply

Eciinsa Of the Sun.

The Boston Trautller of Tuesday week has a
long article on the eclipse of the Sun. which
occurs on Thursday, the 18th of this month. We
1--WE the following extracts:
On Thursday, l9,h of October, the centre of the
Moons Sssadow will pass over North America and
carse in part OF eral of the United States cen
trail eclipse OF the Sun; tho hrst cen'rai echpse
therein since that of May 9th, loo., except the
one on July 18th, 1860. which was so in Washing
ION territory, but not in any other State.
As the approaching eclipse will take place at a
time when the sun is quite near the earth, and
satellite at its greatest possible distance, the 1p
parent diameter of the moon will be much less
than that of the sun, and the width and duration of
tNe ring unusually s,reat. Indeed its duration
where least near Olympia w. t. will be about
6is minutes; near Nashville it will be I'm. 52sec /;
near Charleston sm. 20sec., and where greatest,
viz az the place where the eclipse will be central
at noon, 9i%m., or nearly three longer than near
OlymIia although the width of the ring will there
be IL .sec. less than near. Olympia, in conse-
quenceoff Grapid decrease of ;he cppdrenf mo
ton of the moon from the sun in longitude, hist
rising from the horizon to the meridian. which
motion will be in one minute of time 25sec.53
near Olympia aud only 15sec.15 ar che place
situatedn lat. 23deg. Som. N, and long. 64deg.
35m. West.
The path of the central eclipse over the United
States vail be well represented by nearly straight
line drawn on a map from point about ten miles
N. N. E.of Olympia to Jefferson, Mo, and thence
about eight miles N. Z. of Nashville and of
Charleston to the Atlantic; and two other lines
drawn parallel thereto, towards the N. f. and
S. w. and distant thereirom about IS geographic
al, or 100 English miles. will include all that por-
ton of our country in which the eclipse will be
,annular, or the whole of the moon will be seen on
the sun; but under the central line only will siis
ring, be o uniform width throu ghout.
Ii will be found that very large part OF Ne
braska, Missouri, and Tennessee, or all but the
N. E. and s. W portions, is included within these
lines, also the N. e. part of Kansas and Alabama,
the Southwestern halt of Kentucky. and the
Northeastern Of Georgia, the Southwestern part OF
Iowa, Illinois, and OF North Carolina, and the
whole Of South Carolina except the northern 20 r

falling OFF since last year.

disappointed. However, the result il far from dis
couraging. Let Us perfect and keep Up our or
