denines that, and says that after the first of July

the report is that carpenters and brick masons

of such inferior character, that no workmen are
needed. He has been reading the CHRONICLE

on East Tennessee, was induced to pay Knox

Sir,

The inhabitants of this town have just
had an excellent opportunity of proving
the value of the services of the military,
and the amount Of confidence that can be
reposed IN them as guardians Of public order
and property.
On Tuesday night q party of Prisoners,
two OF whom are the notorious Darling and
Assam, broke through the door of the Pri-
son, which is in our Fort, and after sup
plying themselves with several articles
from the Fort, including food, II sheets
and some swords to defend themselves with
in case of attack, proceeded to the Gus
tom House, helped themselves to two oars,
and from thence to the wharf, where they
lowered the large Custom House boat, and
made their escape from the Island. You
will hardly believe it, when I tell you, Mr..
Editor, that all this took place in the
midst ofour soldiery, guns, canon, and all
our munitions of war. The Prison is sit

soou began to pour out in dense volumes
of smoke and flame, and it looked at one
time as ifa very serious destruction Of
property would take place, as q number Of

tank bnrs ted, the burning oil would have
poured down in resistless fury on the wells

deemed the fire beyond CONTROL until one

Uounted the tank, and then came the fight.
Boards were thrown on, .blauksts and car
pets on those, steam turned on from the
boiler, and, strange as it may seem, the
fire was subdued. Previously, the oil had
been turned on to the pipe, and Tidiouts
