Seward has again prophesied a close
of the war in ninety days.
The recent report of Mr. Memmin-ger,-
Davis's treasurer, shows that the
rebel chiefs raised only four million dol
lars by a war tax, but they got two million
and sixty thousand dollars by ''sequestra
tion.
An English paper, speaking of the
possible appearance of a Russian loan
n the London market, says that its finan
cial speculators "would lend money to cut
the throat of Poland without the least
compunction." These are doubtless the
same persons who took the rebel loan.
Among a series of resolutions before
the California Legislature, one concludes
as follows :
"That the people still look to Abraham
Lincoln as the instrument selected by
Providence to lead the country safeiy
through all its perils; restore it airain to
peace in which no element cf di;cord
shall be found, and that we do most
bear-tily favor his re-election."

JOHN MORGAN'S ESCAPE.
Gen. John Morgan was honored with
an ovation on the 7th, on his arrival at
at the rebelc apital. The following highly
interesting account of his escape from the
Ohio Penitentiary, and subsequent adven
tures, is published in the Enquirer;
Their bedsteads were small iron stools
fastened to the wall with hinges. They
could be hooked up, or allowed to stand
oa the floor, and to prevent any suspic
ion, for several days before any work
was attempted, they made a hnbit to let
them down and sit at their doors and
read. Captain Hines superintended the
work, while General Morgan kept watch
to divert the sentinel, whose duty it was
to come round during the day and ob
serve if anything was going on. One
day this fellow came iu whl!$ Hocker
smith was drove under the floor, boring
away, and missing him, said, "Where is
Hockersmith?" The General replied,
"He is in my room, sick," and immedi
ately pulled a document out of his pocket
nal I '
and said to him: "Here is a memo
have drawn up to forward to the Govern
ment at Washington. What do you
think of it?"
The fellow, who perhaps could not
read, being highly flattered at the Gen
eral's condescension, look it and very
gravely looked at it for several moments
before he vouchsafed any reply. Then
handing it back, he expressed himself
highly pleased with it. In the mBan-
time Hockerimita had beeu signaled,
and came up professing to feel "very un
well." This seminal was tin most dif
ficult and dangerous obstacle in their
progress, because there was no telling at
wLat time he would enter during the
day, and at night he came regularly
every two hours to each ceil and insert
ed a light through the Lars of their door,
to see that they were quietly sleeping,
and frequently afier he had completed
his rounds he would slip back in the dark
with a pair of India rubber sho33 on, to
listen at their cells if anything wa go
ing on. Tha General says that he would
almost invariably know of his presence
by a certain magnetic shudder which it
would produce; but for fear that, this
acute sensibility might sometimes' fail
him, he broke up small particles of coal
every morning and sprinkled them be
fore the cell door, which would always
announce his corning.
Everything was now ready to begin
the work; su about the latter part of
October they began to bore. AH were
bui-y one making a rope lader by tear
ing and twisting up strips of bedt ck, an
other making bowie knives, and another
twisting up towels. They labored per
seveiingly for several days, and after
boring through nine inches of csment
and nine thicknesses of brick placed
edgewise they began to wonder when
they would reach the soft earth. Sud
denly a brick fell through. What could
this mean ? What infernal chamber had
they reached ? It was immediately en
tered and to their great astonishment and
joy, it proved to be an airchamber ex
lending the whole length of the row cf
cells. Here was an unexpected inter
position in their favor. Hitherto ihey
had been obliged to conceal their rub
bish in their bedticks, each day burning
a proportionate quantity of straw, they
had room enough for all they could dig.
They at once commenced to tur.iel at
right angles with this air-chirr.l i r, to
get through the foundation ; and c!i:y af
ter day they bored, day after djj the
blocks cf granite were remorpj, and
still the wcrk before them seemed interm
inable. .. After twenty-three days of uriemit
ing labor, and getting through a granite
wall of six feet in thickness, they reach
-a
ed the soil. They tunneled up sqrn'e dis
tacce, and light began to thine.' How
glorious light. It announced the fulfill
ment of their labors, and if . Providence
would only continue its fororthey would
soon be free. This was the morning of
the 2Gih of November, 1S63. The next
night, at twelve o'clock, was determined
at the hour at which they would attempt
their liberty. Each moment that inter
vened was filled with dreadful anxiety
and suspense, and each time the guard
entered increased their apprehensions.-
The Gprieriil savs he had craved for

rain, but the moraing of the 27th dawn
ed bright and beauufuU The evening
came and clouds began ta gather. How
thev nraved ' for them, to increase. If
. w .
rain should only bein, their chances
of detection would be greatly . lessened.
Nothing now remaine to be done but
for the General and Col. Dick Morgan
to change cells. The hour approached
for them to be locked up. Iheycnang-
od coats, and each stood at the other's
cell door, with hi back exposed and
pretended to to be engaged making up
their beds. As the turnkey entered
they turned in," and pulled their doors.
Six eiht. ten o'clock came. How
each pulse throbbed, as
they quietly
awaited the approach of twelve !. It
a a
came the stntmel passed his round
all well. After waiting a few moments
to see if he inteded to slip back, the sig
ral was given, all quietly slipped down
into the air-chamber, first stuffing their
flannel shirts and placing them in bed as
they were accustomed to lie.
The night had suddenly grown aark
and rainy; the dogs had retired to their
kennels and the sentinels had taken re
fuge under shelter. The inner wall, by
in aid of the rope ladder, was soon
scailed, and now the outer one had to be
attempted. Captain Taylor (who, by
me wav. is a nouew oi uu ) ue-
.1 - 1 T ,11 rr t.
ing a very active man, by the assistance
of his commander, reached the top of
the gate, and was enablejJ to get the
rope over the wall. When the top was
gamed they found a rope, extending all
around, which the General immediately
cut. as he suspected it miht lead into
the Warden's room. This turned out to
be correct. -They then entered the cen
try box oa the Wall, and changed their
clothes, and let themselves down the
wall. In sliding down, the General
skinned his hand very badly, and all
were more or less bruised. Once down
they separated, Taylor and Snellen go
ing one ..way, Hockersmith, Bennett and
McGee another, and General Morgan
and Captain Hines proceeding immedi
ately towards the depot.
"The General had, by paying S15 in
gold, succeeded in obtaining a paper
which informed him of the schedule time
of the different roads. The clock struck
one, and knew by hurrying he would
reach the down' train for Cincinnati
He got there just as the train was mov
ing off. He at once looked on to see if
there were any soldiers on board, and
espying a Un.on officer he boldly walked
up and took a seat beside him. He re
marked to him that "as the night is damp
and chilly, perhaps he would join him in
a drink. He did so, and the party
soon became very agreeable to each other.
The cars, in crossing the Scioto, have to
pass within a short distance of the peni
lomiarv'. Aa ;they passed the officer re
marked "There's the hotel at n-bich
Morgan : and his officer are spending
their leisure." "Yes," replied the Gen-
eral, ';and T hope ho will make up his
mind to board'there during the balance

When the train reached Aenia, it was
detained by some accident more than an
hour. Imagine his anxiety, as soldier

train, for fear that when the sentinel

The train was due in Cincinnati at six
o'clock. This vjas tha hour at which
they were turned out cf 'heir cells, and
of course their escape would be then dis-
covered, in a "lew moments alter n
would be known all over the country.
The tram, having been detained at Xenia
was running very rapidly to make up
the time. It was already past six o clod

"What in the d-l is the use of my going

what busines is it of yours?"
- They went immediately to the river.
They found a skiff, but no oars. Soon a

waiting. "Wrhat are you waiting for?"
aid the General. "I am waiting to sell
my load." "What is the price of a load?"
"1 wo dollars." "Wall as we are tired
and hungry, we will give you two dollars
and you can put. us over.". So over he
took them. "Where does Miss

"Yes, sir." The house was reached, a
ono breakfast was socn obtained, money
and a horso furnished, a rjooa woman s
prayer bestowed, and off they went.
' At the Tennessee river he found all

crossed over. His escort, with heroic
self sacrifice, refused to cross until he
was safely over, He then hired a ne
gro to get his horse over, paying him
twenty dollars for it. Tha .river wa3 sa

with the stream, was pulled out so ex

commenced saddling his horse. He had
hardly tied his girth when "bang bang,"
went the Minie balls. He bounced his
horse, anj ihe noble animal r-iparin ta
Iba inspired with new vigor, bounded" off
like a deer up the mountain. The last
he saw of his poor fellows en the opposite
side they were disappearing up the river
bank, fired upon by a whole regiment c
Yankees. By this time it was dark, and
also raining. He knew that a perfect
cordsn of pickets would surround the
fot of the mountain, and if h remained
there until morning he would be lost.
So he determined to run the gauntlet at
once, and commenced to descend. As
he neared the foot, leading his horse, he
came almost in personal contact with a
picket. His first impulse' was to kil
him, but finding him asleep, he deter
mined to let him sleep on. He made his
way to the house of a Unioa man that he
knew lived near there, and went up and

the way to Athens, Tenn., to procure
supplies of sugar and coffee for the
Union people of the country. The lady.
who appeared to be asleep while this in
terview wa3 taking place, jumped out of
bed in her night clothes, and said.
"Thank God for that, for we ain't seen
any rale coffee up here for God knows
how Iocs!" She was so delighted at the
prospect that she made
o"
up a
.ire and
cooked them a good supper. Supper be
ing over, the Geneial remarked that he
understood some rebels had "tried to
cross the river this afternoon." "Yes,!'
said the women "but ournwn killed some
on um, and driv the rest back." 44Now,"
says ihe Genera), "I know that, tut did
net sorns of them get over ?"" Yes," was
her reply, "but they arc on the raoun
tain, and can t get dovvu without bein
killed, as every road is stopped up."
He then said to her: "It is very ira
portant for ma to get to Athens by to
morrow night, or I may lose that sugar
and coffee, and I am afraid to co dowu
any of those roads for fear my own men
ran '

The fear of losing that! su?ar and
cofie brought her again to an accommod
ating mood, and she replied: "Why.
Paul, can't you show the Captain through
our farm, that road down by the field a"
The General says: "Of courst, Paul,
you can do it, and as the night is very
cold, I will give you ten dollars is gold,
to help you along." The gold an 1 the
prospect of sugar and coffee, wer too
much for any poor mm's nsrves, arid he
yielded and getting on a horse, he took
them seven miles to the big' road.
From this time forward, he had s ser
i of adventures aed escapes ail very
wonderful, until he got near another
river in Tennessee, when he resolved to
go up to the house and find ths way.
Hines went to the house, while the Gen
eral stood in the road. Hearing a bedy
of cavalry come dashing up behind him,
he quietly slipped to one side of the road
and it passed by without observing him.
They went traveling after Hines and,
poor fellow, he has not been heard of
since:
When he arrived at the river referred
to above he tried to get over, intending
to stop that night with a good Southern
man on the other side. He could not tret
over, and had to stop at the house of a
Union man. The next morning he went
to the house that he had sought the niijht
f a . m t
previous, and rouna tne tract or the
x aukees scarcely cold.
After he crossad Okey's river, and
got down into Middle Tennessee, he
found it almost impossiblt to avoid reco
nuioa
The General says that his escape was
made entirely without'ih'e assistance of
any ene on the outside, and, so far as he
knows without their knowledge of his
intention; that the announcement of his
arrival at Toronto was one of those for
tuitous coincidences that cannot be ac
counted for. .

ACCIDENT ON THE PENNSYL-
VANIA RAILROAD
One of the most frightful occurences,
almost without a parallel in the history
of railroad catastrophe!, the great anmot
of property destroyed without loss of life
being taken into consideration, occurred
yesterday morning on the Pennsylvania
Ceatral Railroad, at Bridge E'ht, span
n ing ihe Juanta river obout four nile3
eas t ofTyrcn8.
As the Phildelphia express passenger
train arrived withm about six hundred feet
of Bridge Eight, across ths Juianta river
he hind axle of the tender broke in two
in tha center the wheels flyiny off on both
sides cf the' track, ; The train " at the
tima was in full motion' and before -the
.J."" - "
the bridge, dragging the two express car
which wero off the track, to the edge of
ihe abutment, when tha coupling be
tween the tender and express car parted
the engine and tender pissing crar tha
tbridge without funhur injury than de
scrided ; put hot so with the remainder of
the cars. - ' . ';
- The first express car was precipitated
a distance of about forty fee t into the
Juniata ; tha secod express and the bag
gage car, containing the mail and bag
gage cf the passongers, mostly freighted
with soldiers, rolled from the bridge,
breaking into a hundred pieces; follow
ing which was the second passenger car
which a3 it plunged from the track inta
the river, turned bottom side up. This
car drew the Philadelphia sleeping, car
from the track, the front part resting on
the top of ihe second passenger and ihe
hind end on the abutment of tha bridge.
The Allentowa sleeping car remained
tho track at the edga of the bridge, it
still being coupled to tha Philadelphia
car.
The accident took place at an early
hour in the morning that most of the
pasisngors were either asleep or just
wukir. from a morning nap, so that few
realized their perilous situation till the
whole affair was complete. Most of the j
passengers in the sleeping car were awa
kened by being promiscuously piled
either to the side or to the end of the
car.
The cars had hardly struck before the
cry of are was raised, tha baggage aud
first and second passenger cars being
already in a blaze. This produced a
consternation among the passengers
which beggars discription ; and their en
ire powers were called into requisition
to save them frcm being destroyed by
fire. Men who before were unable to
stir from tha wouuds recieved, crawled
from tho car windows and by great exer
lion dragged their bodite from the de
vouring elemonts.
Those d3troyed by fire were the bag
?ae and all the passenger cars, inclu
ding the Allentown sleeping rar. The
news of ihe accident was soon commuica-
ted the inhaiiants in the neighborhood,
and soon brough; msn, women and chil
dren to the scene, each anxious to re
liee the sufferers Those passengers -but
slightly wounded had saved most of the
mail bags, containiag the letters, but the
baggag was entirely consumed. -
. In the Assembly of W isconsm on the 21st
inst, resolutions were offered by . Mr.
Stocks, opposed . to any propositions for
peace while the rebels are ia arms, and
in favor of the renoraination of Mr.
Lincoln for tha Presidency by the Na
tional Union Convention.
