THE LEvERs.---We have unfayorable reports as
to the work on the levee at 0hinn's creyasse, in
West Baton Rouge. w learn that there are only
some thirty-four hands employed on a work
which, to secure safety to the parish against the
next high water, should have nearly thirty tunes
as many employed upon it. The most favorable
season of the year has passed for prosecuting
said work and the inhabitants are left to anything
but bright prospects and pleasing contemplatlons
for the future.-[ -[Baton Rouge Gazette.
We have been asked repeatedly the value of
seed cane in this parish, but know of to sell,
those SO fortunate as to make few acres value it
too highly to part with it, as it is their intention to
put in regular sugar crops as soon as possible.
| They are tired of cotton, and must turn their at
tention to q branch of agriculture which promises
\ q fair remuneration for labor In this determine
ton they have the best wishes of all who desire to
see the country once more in a houfishing condl
ton. With little care and attention, we see nc
reason why we cannot have our parish, or at least
the better part Of it, in cane for the year 1868
| Some sugar will be made next year, without
| doubt, but the quantity will be small-at least
compared with years before the war.

Singular Escape of Prisoners from "a County
Jail.
tFrOm the Springfield dll.) Journal,l

LFrom the springfield till) JournalI
We learn that Peter Mccartney alias William
Wilson, and Levi Mccartney, alias John Douglas
who were arrested at Matoon on or about the 23d
of August last, on a charge of connterfeting, and
were committed to the jail in this city for want of
$4,000 bail each for their appearance at the next
term of the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Illinois, made their escape
from the Jail yesterday morning, between two and
three O'Clock. 1t is certain that the prisoners
were in their cells up to the time above named,
but at q later hour it was ascertalned that they
had taken an unceremonious leave without paying
their board bills.
It appears that no locks, bolts or bars were
broken, but that the prisoners escaped by unlock
ing five doors, leaving them unlocked on their de-
parture. The escape seems the more singular
from the fact that the sheriff and his family reside
in the lower part pf the jail, so that any noise
among the prisoners would undoubtedly have
aroused his suspicion that something was wrong
We understand that after the departure of the
prisoners pewter key was found in or near theil
cells but it would not fit any of the locks, show
ing most conelusiyely that the said key had nothing
| to do with effecting their escape. The affa
should receive the most thorough investigation
from the proper authorities, and every effort pos
sible made to recapture the prisoner
and discover the accomplce engaged il
their liberation, if they had any. The
| affair now looks as if the prisoners must have
| had assistance from without, for how else c0ul(
they have obtained keys to make their escape
The public will await with some interest the s0lu
| ton Of the mystery.
The said Peter Mccartney is the prince o
Western counterfeters. When arrested, in Au
| gust last, he had in his carpet sack about sixty
| thousand dollars in counterfeit money with tht
plates Of several banks, besides twenty-five hun
dred dollars in good money. The goyernmen
had been after him for three years, it being abou
that time since he was arrested by Col. Wood, o
| Washington, from whom he escaped by jumping
| from the cars when under full way, as he was be
ing taken from indianapolis to Cincinnati HI
was again arrested last fall at East St. Louis, will
$4,000 in counterfeit bills and $4,000 in goot
money, but by some hocus pocus arrangement
never understood by the public, was released
There has been standing offer of $500 for h
arrest, which is now due the parties who last
secured him.
