Successful Jail Breaking.

ST. ALBANs, VT, Dec. 26.-Thfs morning
Geo. Welcome, who broke Jail and was imme-
diately captured and returned last Thursday
night, made second attempt and succeeded.
Theiblacksmith had not had time to repair the
window bars, consequently Sheriff Morrill,
kept Welcome and Ordway in what he sup
posed was the strongest cell, and had trusty
prisoner named Harry Lyon sleep in position
to detect any unusual disturbance. Last night
two tramps applied for lodgings. The cells be-
ing full they were placed in the open part
About a. m. Lyon heard q noise in the direc.
ton of Welcomes cell, but on inspecting dis
covered nothing. When he woke again about
quarter before g. he saw Welcome escaping
and Ordway about to follow. Bursting open
his own door which they had tied together by
tearing up coat for strings. he drew knife
and drove Ordway back into his cell. He
aroused the sheriff and deputies. Under cover
of the darkness Welcome escaped to the
woods and managed to reach Canada, Is miles
distant, about 2 p. NJ, in spite of the vigilance
of the sheriff's deputies in all directions. Sub
sequent inspection shows that two bars of the
cell door, three-fourths of an inch in diameter,
had previously been sawed off at the top so
near the lower cross bar as not to have been
discovered. Welcome and Ordway made the
discovery from the inside and with the aid of
the tramps broke the bars at the bottom let
ting them into the Jail roOm used an iron bed
stead as ladder, reached a window and went
out as before. The tramps will be tried to-
morrow for aiding them and Williams Phillips
(colored) has been arrested on suspicion of hav-
ing furnished the acid to soften the bars on the
previous first escape.

Official Correspondence with the Mexican
Government ON the Subject of the Texas
Raids.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-From official CORES
pondence it appears that some time since MIN.
lister Foster asked permission of the Mexican
government for the regular troops of the Unit
ed States to follow raiders across the border
when in close pursuit, or permission to temper
arily occupy certain points on the Mexican side
where the raiders are accustomed to come
across the river.
The reply of the Mexican Secretary of For
eign Affairs was that the executive had no au-
thority to grant such permission without the
consent of Congress, and it would not be pru-
deLt to ask such consent as the sentiment of
the country would not approve it,
Mr. Foster stated that he was authorized to
give the assurance that our government had no
design of acquiring an extension of territory,
but said the acknowledgement of the Mexican
government of its inability to restrain the law
lessness of its own citizens would afford the
strongest possible argument to all advocates of
the acquisition of territory there may be in the
United States. Mr.. Foster further said that
the citizens of Texas must be protected, and if
protection did not come from the Mexican gov
eminent it must from ours.
