TALL WRIrING.-The Memphis Avalanche,
which the New York Post sptly calls the "mud
volcano" has the following forid piece of COM
position, all in relation to a man named Ham
ilton:
Thomas A. Hamilton, the sugar thief, the
white-livered perjnrer, and the apostate to the
Confederate cause, has returned to the unfor-
tunate city which he curses by his loathsome
habitaton. He is more pestiferous than the
lice and locusts OF Egypt, than siroccos, tenn
pests, hurricanes and whirlwinds. Small pox !,
yellow fever, phthisic, rheumatism and gout
are all bad enough, but they are blessings in
comparison with the leprous scourge called
Hamilton. As no grass ever grew where the
feet of the renowned Huns trod the earth, so
does the rich carpet that sods the green fields
wither and crisp under he blighting tread of
Hamiltons cloven hoofs. When he enters a
garden the ful-blown flowers all turn to
touch me- nots, and hang their heads in mod
est bushes of shame. The birds hush their
matin songs at his approach, and fly away as
If some evil genius had poisoned their fragrant
bowers The dogs bark at him Nth kind Of
melancholy howl, and when he approaches n
barn-yard the chickens crow in a long, mourn
full drawl.

| it only permitted the existence of the office
| under general regulations, so long as the PEG
pie interested, were willing to pay the expen,
ses themselves. The citizens of South Bris.
tol, have accordingly raised annually by sub
scription, sum sufficient to pay mail car.
rier between that place and this city, As the
| burden of this expense has generally fall
len upon few, this method of paying for SER
vices, which the Department ought to pay,
has been given up. ~
Mr.. o. NJ. Ward has held the Office of post
master Of South Bristol for the past seventeen
years he has always discharged the duties OF
the office, intelligently and faithfully.
We have heretofore sent about as large a
package of the KenosRa Telegraph weekly to
South Bristol as to any other Office in the
county. Our subscribers who have in the
past, received their papers at the South Bns-
toll Office, will find them left at the office in
this city until ordered otherwise All mail

We understand Postoffice is contemplated

would convenience considerable number who
have heretofore been served at South Bristol.

The two prisoners who escaped from jail
in this city some two or three weeks ago, and
who were captured and returned back made
second attempt at escape last week. One
OF them one armed man, confined in a cell
with iron lining, succeeded in loosening and
partially displacing an iron plate, and by
the aid of long nail which had been used in
fastening the plate, made considerable pro-
gross in working hole through wood par
tition, dividing the cell from the Jail hall
His operations were discovered before he had
succeeded in his purpose to get into the hall.
de says his intentions after getting into the
hall, were to use his chain ball in breaking
the lock of his fellow prisoners apartment, and
the two after gaining the liberty of the hall
intended to govern themselves, as to the
method Of further escape, as circumstances
might seem most favorable,
