FROM THE FRoNT.-On Monday last
Adiutant General German returned from
his visit to Raleigh, whittier he had gone
to make further arrangements fo1 the Wig
orous and successful prosecution of the
campaign in this county.
We learn that he has secured supply
of tents. cooking utensils and everything
necessary to the comfort Of his men. and
that he is determined not TO give mp until
the last one of the outlaws is killed or
captured.
We understand that al additional force
of forty or fifty federal soldiers is ex-
pected to join Gen. German in few days,
and that arrangements are being made to
bring into the field much larger force
of citizens than thsG ut present employed.
Col. Wishart, of the 59th regiment, and
Col. Howell, Of the 59th regiment, are
both now in the field with detachments
from their respective commands, which
are to be mat erialIy strengthened in few
days, by new levie5 from the militia of
the county.
man has the unbounded confidence of his
men, and that the best spirit prevails
among the men.
The capture of the outlaws is Low con-
sidered only question of time.
To outsiders the time required to do
this may seem unreasonably long. but We
feel sure that the end is spproachipg.-

says that Charles Garlic Of Portland, died on
Saturday evening at the age of SO. "Uncle
Charles" as he was familiarity called by his
acquaintance, was o veteran stage-driver,
one Of the rapidly diminishing band who
drove on the old Portland and Boston stage
line-Mr. Carle's route being from Portland
to Portsmouth. He was on the box for many
years-how many we do not know-Until the
coaches gave place to rail cars. Then Mr..
earle became mail carrier between the
Portland post Office and the depot, and re-
linquished this duty about 1868, on account
Of the increasing infirmatives of his age. He
was succeeded by his son Charles, who now
acceptably performs this service. About q
year ago Mr.. G. was stricken with paralysis,
and never recovered from the blow, but
gradually declined, enduring at times great
pain.

Retaking a state Prison Convict.

Friday forenoon Charles E. Laskey, who
escaped from the State Prison by scaling the
walls, as related in last Mondays Journal,
was recaptured in North Berwick, Me-, by
Deputy Sheriff Kicker, and last Saturday
morning officer Fuller of the Prison was dis
patched to North Berwick to identity him.
He proved to be the one they wanted and
Saturday night, at ten o'clock, the escaped
convict was safe under lock and key at his
old quarters.
His story is to the following effect: He
got the wooden spout, upon which he climbed
to the top of the wall, ready for the trial the
Sunday previous to his escape. As soon az
he was over the wall the afternoon he got
away, after having made two or three futile
attempts he travelled on the Boston & Maine
track as far as the Know Nothing crossing,
Charlestowp, where some man furnished him
with hat and coat. He then travelled on
the track as far as Melrose, when he turned
! about, going through Chelsea to his mothers
house to East Boston, where he procured
| more clothes. After remaining there about
an hour he left about midnight for Lynn,
where he arrived early Monday morning.
He Travelled that day as far as Beverly,
where he spent Monday night in private
house. Tuesday he was OIL the road, and
stayed in barn that night. Wednesday he
travelled on with weary limbs, and Thursday
he reached Great Works.
Thursday he was in the shop of black
smith named Otis at Yeaton's Mills, Me-,
where he told pitiful story of shipwreck
and the brutality of a drunken captain That
evening Otis, while in neighbours house,
hearing an account of the escape read from
paper, recognized Laskey as the man des-
cribed. The next morning he, with Deputy
Sheriff Kicker. started in pursuit. Laskey,
after spending the night at Great Works
with a family named Dore, had gone into q
shanty near the extension of the Boston &
Maine Railroad. While there a soap man
came in, to whom he told the same pitiful
story Of shipwreck and suffering; said he had
walked from kittery that morning, and asked
to ride to North Berwick on his cart, which
was granted. The sheriff coming up behind,
called out, "Laskey! Laskey! stop" Las
key told the driver Of the cart to stop, which
he did after being called upon by the pursu-
ers. Sheriff Kicker coming up, says, LAS
key, you are an escaped prison from Charles
town State Prison." He did not deny that
he was the person, and at once surrendered.
He was taken back to South Berwick, where
he arrived about IL o'clock, A. NJ. His COM
ing created much excitement, and he had
many visitors in the course of the day and
evening.
His whole travels were about SEVENTY Eve
miles, and he says he had no trouble in get
ting things to eat. When found by Mr.
Fuller he had ninety cents in his pockets, all
that was lett of small amount which he had
probably received at his mothers. He OPEN
ly avowed his intention of pushing as far east
as possible, but seemed to feel considerable
relief in his return to the comforts even of
prison. Boston Journal.

Ku.klux Outrage.

St. Louis, &c despatch from Sedalia
says that Christmas day witnessed precon-

Saline county and vicinity. A large number
of armed men turned out in pursuit of
negroes. Patrols were placed near the town
and every traveller was halted and questioned.
All business was suspended and mob violence
reigned supreme. 1t is not known how many
negroes were killed, but man who left Mar
shall at ii o'clock saw dead bodies of five two
hanging by the neck and three lying in the
road. He saw one terribly wounded, having
his shoulder shot away. At latest accounts
crowd of armed men were leaving Marshall,
swearing that they would clean every negro
out of the country.

Chicago, &c. Further particulars of the
accident on the Burlington & Cedar Rapids
and Minnesota Railroad on Saturday eve
ming, at Shell Rock river bridge, say that the
train had two locomotives on account of the
heavy drifts of snow. The two locomotives,
tenders, baggage and caboose cars went thro
the bridge, the baggage car resting at steep
angle. The engineer of the locomotive f.
Z. Judd, Robert Rolston fireman, and one
brakeman, j. w. Bartlett, were instantly
killed at their posts. The baggage master
and section hand had their legs broken, and
a passenger named A. Tone, had three ribs
broken, and a few others were seriously
bruised. Fortunately the passenger car was
stopped in time to prevent its plunging with
the rest, thus saving the inmates. Mr.. Tonne
with his broken bones picked up the baggage
master, and drew him to the upper end of the
car, where he was taken out Of the window
ny the conductor. Mr.. Tonne then sank
from exhaustion, but was rescued by some
one crawling in after him. BY the greatest
exertions of l.oomis and Sill, two conductors
the train was saved from fire by rubbing on
snow, after the cars were several times
ablaze. The bridge was the Howe truss, and
it is feared that it had been tempered with by
some evil disposed person.
