Carabelle correspondence NEWS, July z:
1On and Dykes broke Jail on Monday last and
ran over the jailer, who was very old man.
They then made their way back in this neigh
bOrhOod. but we were the watch. They
went to the house of one Of our citizens very
[ hungry, as they had eaten nothing since leav-
ing the jall. After giving them a good square
meal they were informed that it was time to
come to this place, and the gentleman
marched them here and delivered them to
Mr.. Walden, the Deputy Sheriff. who has re-
turned them to jail, and they are now both
heavily irOned. Dykes saws IOn killed Mrs.
Crown, and 1On says that il was not him but
Dykes who killed her. They may yet tell the
truth about it. At all events. from what they
both say, they are the right parties.-We have
had plenty of rain of late and some heavy
squalls, which make small boats keep near
shore. Yesterday, as a captain of one of the
lumber vessels now in port and another gentle
man were coming from Apalachicola a squalI
struck them. They being in a small slOOp
were capsized and got a good Wetting,
which was all the damage dOne.-Again the
railroad news is becoming encouraging. Sew
eral men were here looking for a suitable
place for depot, so report says, and not far
in the future one may be able TO ride to Talla-
hassee on the I. I. and q. Railroad.
