bring, Of Missouri, has recently arrived in
Richmond, having escaped from prison in ST.
Louis, and having made bis way through the
Federal lines in kentucky Capt, sebripg was,
confined for long time in McDowelrs old
college in St. Louis, ithaviug been converted
into aprison, and during FIVE months of his,
captivity was kept in dungeon, fsttered to
two iron balls, and constantly in handouts. For
eight days during this period he WAS fettered
to post for. twelve hours each day; and
while enduring this torture, thus exposed to
the winters cold, he had his hands and feet
both frost bitten. lie was charged with being
SPY, and was sentenced to be shot. On the
night which proceeded the morning appointed
for his execution, be made his escape by des-
perats enterprise; nine Of the prisoners over
.powcring twelve of the guards with arms in
their hands. Two of the nine who made. this
desperate assault were killed, and two wound
sa@ The names of the killed were Cole!asia,, q
EFrenehmau, and a person Of tho name OF
Shulty. .-.'' e.
Capt Sebring says there are now in the
prisons Of St. Louis ut least FIVE hundred Con-
tederate soldiers whose status is determinedby
Yankee military commissions as that of cr;ini-
mails, on various charges Of bushwhacking,
violating the oath Of allegiance, &c; and that
at Alton, Illinois, there are about fifteen hun.
drcd men congregated there who have been
selected from the different Yankee prisons, to
be degraded from the privileges Of prisoners Of
war, apd' held under special penalties as crimi-
nals. The practice OF converting the relation.
between an enemy and prisoner of war TO-
that between magistrate and culprit, is one
which is practically entirely at the discretion
or caprice Of the Yankees and the extent to
which it is pursued is but little imagined by
the Confederate public, As these victims are
placed in circumstances where they cannot
effect any communication with their friends or
cuuntrylnen, and their story is never known
unless through the rare accident Of the escape
of some of them. -: !&a:, 8! !..s ~. >.
