A correspondent of the Commercial
Gazette describes the escape of the three
prisoners from the Macarthur Jail, in a
manner which, if true, gets the joke upon
the Sheriff of Vinton county. The pris-
oners are said to have worked for days
or rather nights, burning hole through
the ceiling of the prison, with heated
fire-shovel, and finally escaped early in
the evening, while the Sheriff was at sup
per. This heartless correspondent de-
clares that after the prisoners were gone,
the officer hired men to watch the hole
where they passe out, and that his vigil
was kept up long time before the dis
covery of the escape. But the writer was
probably too hasty. The guards were
doubtless doing their duty, and if those
prisoners had come back and tried to get
back in through that hole, there would
have been somebody hurt.
