BAZAINE ESCAPED.
Particulars OF the Escape of Marshal
Bazaine from hIs Prison On the
Isle OF 81. Marguerite.

LONDON, August 1.-THE following
interesting particulars of the escape OF
Marshal Bazaine from his prison on the
isle of st. Marguerite have been re-
ceived: The apartments occupied by
Marshal Bazaine opened upon terrace,
which was built upon a lofty and pre-
cipitous cliff overhangiDg the sea.
A sentry was posted on the ter
race, with orders to watch the
Ir'soner's every movement. During
Sunday evening the marshal walked
upon the terrace with Colonel Villette,
nis sId de-camp. At one O'Clock he re-
tired as usual, apparently to sleep, but
bef:s daybreak he had effected his es-
cs Pc He must have crossed the terrace
il tie dead Of night, and, eluding the
sentinel, gained the edge Of the preci-
pice and by means of a knOtted rope he
descended to the sea. He evidently
slipped during the descent and tore his
pants, as the rope was stained with blood
in several places. Under the cliff in a
hired boat were Bazaine's wife and
cousin. They received him as he
reached the water, and Madame la
Mavechale taking the oars herself
moved directly to a strange steamer
which had been lying off the island
all the previous evening. They reached
the vessel in safety and were taken on
board, and the steamer then put to sea.
1t is th0lght that they have landed
at GenoS, as the steamer headed in
that direction. The first news of this
affair came to Grasse, the nearest place
on the coast, and the magistrates Of
the town Immediately sent officers
in every direction to search for the fugi-
tive. There was great commotiOn in
Marseilles when the facts became
known. On investigation it was opined
that Colonel Villette, who was walking
with the marshal on the evening of his
escape, was discovered there and inn
prisOned. The commandant Of the Fort
Of st. Margurite was placed under arrest,
and General Level has gone to the ISL
and to investigate affairs.
FROM PARIS.
PARIS, August lit is reported that
Marshal Bazsine landed at SanrelO and
travelled Uid Lurin to Basle. At the lat
ter place he took the train to Brussels,
where he arrived at seven o'clock Tues
day morning.

ties had commenced assembling for th'
purpose of reinforcing the mob at Aus
tin. No answer being received to thG
dispatch, the citizens of Austin wantet
to send another telegram, at twelve
o'clock Monday night. The telegraph
Office being closed, the second dispatch
to Governor Ames had to be postponed
until early yesterday morning. Ames
never answered either telegram, nor did
he send any reply 90 third dispatch
! from the same parties. In the mean.
! time, Mr.. Edwin II. Blake, a Teliab G
/ young man, Yes entrusted with the fo.-
| lowing note TO l1r. Sam Williams, a
well-known planter and hunter, residing
in DeSotO comfy, Eississippi:
DEAR SAM-Tbe mayor OF Austin calls for
assistance. Judge Morgan has telegraphed
the governor for peT-nis ion 10 go. He ex-
train to-day. Gel as many men as ou can
and report here before one O'Clock. In haste,
W. II. CHALMERS.
This note was safely delivered, and
Mr.. Williams hastily summoning his
neighbors, hurried with squad to Her
nando, where the volunteers boarded
the train and reached this city as above
stated. Apprehensions being had that
the negroes might attempt the destruc-
ton Of the Memphis powder maya
zines, located under the bluff at Fort
Pickering, detachment of the Bluff
City guards yesterday afternoon pro-
ceeded 10 that locality, where they are
now on duty. The guard was reinforced
last night and the force is deemed suf-
ficient TO successfully resist any attack
from the negroes. When the detach-
ment marched down Main street yester-
day afternoon the excitement in the
city became more intense, as this
demonstration, while OF a precautionary
nature, was calculated to arouse some
dread. However, no outbreak is feared
from the negrOesof Memphis, the police,
organized military companies and
armed citizens being sufficient to pre-
vent any such violence on the part Of
the negroes who have not shown any
spirit of indignation or evinced any de-
sire to engage in that which, as once be-
fore in Memphis, would result so mourn
fully to their race.
LATER.
At a late hour last night a rumor cf
Federal intervention ga ned circulation
in this city. According to the rumor,
an unknown white man and two ne
grOes went to the captain Of an harbOr
tug and offered him two hundred dollars
for his propeller, in which TO go to Aus
tin. The object OF The three was to aid
the negro mob and impart some valua-
BILE Information to the rioters. The owner
of the tug refused to let the men have
the vessel. 1t is said that negro hack
driver first told Of the above, and that
he also said there we're two thousand

A RESOLUTION adopted by & north
western grange, proclaiming that Con-
gress has the power to control rail-
roads and cheap transportation, savors
more of Radical caucus than con-
vention of reformers aiming at the
overthrow of monopolies and the dan
gerous power of centralized capital.
To braek down smaller monopolies,
by calling in the aid of a central mo-
nopoly armed with every needed pow
er, is a mode of reform not recognized
BY the constitution of the Patrons of
Husbandry, nor sanctiond by any hon.
est patriot. The Radical government
has long been aiming at the absolute
control of all the railroads and all the
telegraph lines, then with the COM
mand of the army and navy, the treas
ury and the leading enterprises estab-
lished by private capital and energy,
what will be wanting to make the gov
ernmet the most absolute despotism
on earthf And as capital will be the
sustaining element of such power,
labor will have a poor showing and
agriculture become subservient to the
caprices of speculative monopolies
under the protection of the govern
ment. No farmer ever conceived a
more fatal idea than that of advancing
his own interests by enlarging the pow
ers of the federal government at the
expense of the conservative force OF
States rights and the general idea Of
local control over local interests.

SHOULD the Senate coclude topass
the Civil Rights bill discussed by
the House, just before the holidays,
the next step will be the legislation
necessary to give full force and effect
to the provisions of that bill. That
next step will be the assumption, by
the federal government, of unlimited
control over the education of the peo-
pie. and the sequel to this usurpation,
will be the flooding of our southern
schools with northern made books,
and indoctrination of the southern
mind with the abominable moral and
political heresies which fill the North
with fanatics dangerous to liberty, and
politicians subversive of law and or
der, and looking to Capitalization as
the idea most conducive to the success
of northern ambition, as sectional
despotism. The bogus amendment to
the Constitution which makes the will
of Congress the supreme law, in every
case to which the negro can be made
a party. is sufficient cover for all such
despotic legislation, and unless the
Radical party is Invested of its power,
the South is destined to suffer long
and terribly under the infections Of
Radical hate. The North thinks il
has nothing to fear from the encroach-
ments of power because that power
has its home in the North, as well al
its sanction and support, but the pois
oned chalice pressed to the lips of the
South, will, ere long, be forced be-
tween those of the North.

MARRIED OR Nor MARRIED.-Mr.
Gongh thinks that it is better for wo-
man to be laughed at for not being
married than to be unable to laugh be-
cause she is married. The marriage
that takes all the laugh out of a wO-
man, like the sunshine that takes all
the sweetness out of the grape, is an
exceedingly suspicious commodity, and
ought to give the divorce doctors some
thing to do. But the idea of trying to
reconcile a woman to an impaired life
because another woman found it un-
comfortable, is as absurd as to try to
keep her from eating green apples be-
cause of Mother Ewes unfortunate
genealogical experience.
