ted States revenue laws, and for whom q
warrant was issued, was captured near
Brownsville Church, after most despe-
rate resistance, by deputy n. T. Pearson
and Mr.. j. W. Medlin. Hathcock had
two navy rcvolvcrs and cmptied one OF
them at his captors and they in return
giving him two for one for every shot he
fired, and closing in with him, ran up
and disarmcd him as he was climbing
fence. Strange to s;ty Hathcock was the
only one woundcd-receivcd ball in
the thigh, and that may yet prove fatal.
Hathcocls is man of years, but of great

creased yield Of cotton the country is in

pie have more to eat than in other years
when the cotton crop was larger. Tho
average yield to the acre in wheat was

JAIL BIRDS ESCAPING.-On Saturday
night, between the hours of 10 and ~
o'clock. five prisoners confined in the
Jail at Varnville succeeded i'll making an
escape. There is 10 doubt of the fact that
the prisoners had assistance from tho
outside, as the locks upon the door were
not broken, but unlocked, and, after
their liberation, relocked. One of tho
escaped prisoners, who was quite rcfrac-
tory, and had attempted to escape hereto
fore, had been chained, the chain secure
ly fastened around his neck and locked
with an improved lock. After tho es-
cape the chain was found in it's place,
tho lock still upon it, and, to all appear
ances, had not been tainpered with at all.
Another proof that band of contederates
assisted the prisoners is that at about
o'clock on Saturday night pistol shot
was heard upon the streets, which was
Immediately answered by four other
shots, fired in different parts of the town.
This was evidently signal for the other
parties to come together and prepare for
work, though at the time no one thought
anything about these shots. Now it
seems to throw some light on this mys-
terious escape. Two prisoners who were
serving short terms remained in the Jail,
but are very reticent about the escape,
both claiming that they were asleep at
the time. The following are the names
of the prisoners who escaped: w. D..

WASHINGTON December 3.

The Utes must go from Colorado. AT
least so says Judge Belford, of Colora-
do, and his words are echoed by the
far Western members generally. II is the
purpose to push vigorously tho bill in
troduccd by Mr.. Belford yesterday for
the appointment Of commission to Sc
lect another reservation for tho Utes, and
to locate 1t in one of the Territories.
There is a general feeling among Western
members that there will be trouble next
spring unless Congress takes some action
at this session. The Ute reservation,
they say, is too valuable, covering, rs 1t
does, an area larger than New England,
and aboundng in rich minerals, to be
closed to occupation by tho whites.
When the proposition is once definitely
submitted to remove these Indians to
another Territory, it is expected that it
will be antagonized by the delegates from
tho Territories, who, looking forward to
tho time when new States will be formed,
will not desire to be encumbcred by wild
and dangerous Indian tribes. One o!
the suggestions will be to send all 1ndi-
ans to the Indian Territory, enlarge its
area If need bc, and then, by positive leg
islative enactment, to set it aside perma-
ncntly as the home for the Indian tribes.
AS further move in tho Ute business,
Judge Belford offered q resolution to-
day, calling upon the Secretary Of the
Interior for all correspondence from the
White River ageticy since the 1st day OF
last January.
Gen. Sherman, in speaking Of the tto
disturbances to-day, expressed his dis
gust at the commission now taking testi-
mony continuing to daily with the Indi-
ans. lie said he did not desire to have
any further communication with the
commission unless they telcgraphcd for
the troops. He said: "When they get
through the army will take the Indians
in hand. ."-.SpeciM Dispatch 10 The BatinOrc

THE FREEpaEN's BANK-Cor

THE FREEDMEN's BANK-Congress-
man O'Connor, of South Carolina, has
revived the bill introduced in the last
Congress by Mr.. Ellis, of Louisiana, to
return to the freedmen of the South their
savings deposited in the Frecdmen's
Savings and Trust Company. The prop
osition is, in brief, to have the Secretary
of the Treasury take charge Of all the
moneys, property, assets, &C., of the
company, convert the real and other
poperty into cash, and to pay the depos-
tors or their legal representatives the
balance that may be duo them. AS the
funds realized from the property of the
company will not be sufficient, sum to
meet the amount required is to be appro-
priated from the treasury. The bill goes
upon tho theory that Us the company
was incorporated by act Of Congress, as
thousands of freedmen were led to en-
trust their savings to tho company by
the persuasions of authorized agents oftho
government, and that Us it was through
ill-advised legislation of Congress that
good and ample securities for deposits in
said company were exchanged for value
less and speculative securities, that good
faith requires that the government should
make good what the freedmen havo thus
lost

"A Washington correspondent reports
that the contemporancous Congressman
does not absorb nearly so much whiskey in
the course of the twenty-four hours as did
his thirsty predecessors. This is good news.
Whiskey is not desirable ingredient either
in debate or legislation.
The hair Of the Presidents from WASH
ington to Pierce is preserved in the Patent
Office at Washington. Washington's is
pure white and fine in texture. Jeilerson's
is mixture Of white and auburn and rather
coarse, as also is the hair of "Old Hickory"
The custom of preserving the Presidential
locks was abandoned in Buchanan's time.
How it arose, and why the Patent Office
was the repository selected, it would be in
teresting to know.
