GENERAL MCLELLAN% IMPORT.
Additional Correspondence with the Pre
sident and Secretary of War.
I made on the 6th and 7th close pereonal recon
noissances of the right and left of the enemy'. posi
tions, which, with information already acquired,
convinced Inc that it was best to prepare for an as
sault by the preliminary employment of heavy guns
and some siege. operations. Instant assault would
have been simple folly. On the 7th I telegraphed to
the President as 'follows :
HPATIQUALETERS ABUT OP THE POTOMAC,
April 1, 1802.
To the Preddent, Wasfifiuiton, D. C :
Your telegram of yesterday is received. In reply
I have 'he honor to state that my entire force for
duty amounts to only about (85,000) eighty. five thou
sand men. General Wool's command, as you Will
observe from -the accompanying order, has been
taken out of my control, although he has most
cheerfully co-operated with me. The only. use that
can be made of his command is to protect-my com
munications in the rear of this point. At this time
Only fifty-three thousand men have joined me, but
they are coming up as rapidly as my means of trans
portation will permit. Please refer to my despatch
to the. Secretary,of War tonight, for the details of r.
my present "situation.

Hon. E. M. St' &WA ..s.iCretary of War;
Your telegram; of'Yesterday arrived here while I
Was about examining the enemys right, which I did
pretty closely. The whole line of the Warwick,
which really heads-within a mile of Yorktown, is
strongly defended by ditches, redoubts, and other
fortifications, armed with heavy and light guns. The

most,tko
two passages, both of which are covered by stron
batteries. It will be necessary to resort to the use
of heavy guns and some siege operations before an
assault,
• • -
All the prisoners state that Gen. J. E. Johnston
arrived at Yorktown yesterday, with strong rein
forcements. It seems, clear I shall have the whole
force of the enemy on my hands, probably not less
than (100,000) one hundred thousand men, and
probably more. In consequence of the loss of Bien
kere division and the Ist Owe, my force is possibly
less than that of the enemy, while they nave all the
advantage of position.
I am under great obligations to you for the offer
that the whole force and material of the Govern ,
ment Will be as fully and as specially 'under my com
mand as heretoforei or as it the new department had
not been created.
Since my arrangements were made for this cam
paign,at least (50,000) fi fty thousand men have been
taken from my command. Since my despatch of the
6th instant, live divisions have been in close obser
vation of the enemy, and frequently exchanging
j
shots. When my present command all oine r i. shall
have about (85.000) eighty-five thousand men for
duty, from which a large force must be taken for
guards, scouts, &c. With this army, I could assault
the enemy's works, and, perhaps, carry them ; but
were I in possession of their entrenchments, and as
sailed by double my numbers, I should have no fears
as to the result.
Under the eh cumstances that have been deve.
loped since we arrived here, I feel fully impressed
with the conviction that here is to be fought the
great battle that is to decide the existing contest.
I shall, of course commence the attack as soon as I
can get up my siege train, and shall do all in my
power to carry the enemy's works ; but to do this
with a reasonable degree of certainty, requires, in
my judgment, that I should, •if possible, have at
least the Ist Corps to land upon the Severn river
and attack Gloucester in the rear.
. _
My present strength will not admit of a detach
ment sufficient for this purpose without materially
'repairing the efficiency , of this column. Flag Officer .
(loldsborough thinks the works too strong for his
available vessels, unless I can turn Gloucester. I
send by mall copies of hie letter, and one of the com
mander of the gunboats here.
GEO. B. McCLELLAN, Nej. Gen.
On the.7th day of April, and before the arrival of
the divisions of Generals Hooker, Richardson, And
Casey, I received the following despatches from the
President and Secretary of War :
WASHINGTON, April 6,1862-8 P. M.
General G. B. McClellan: •
Yours of 11 A. M. to-day Is received. Secretary
Of War Informs me that the forwarding of trans
portation ammunition, and Woodbury's brigade is
not and Will not be interfered with. You now have
over one hundred thousand troops with you, hide•
pendent oh General Wool's command. -I think you
had better break the enemy's line from Yorktown to
Warwick river at once. This will, probably, use
time as advantageously as can.
A. LINCOLN, President.
WASIIINOTON, ,A.pril 6 ; 1862-2 P. M
General G. 13. McClellan:
The President directs me to say that your despatch
to him has been received. General Sumner's corps
is on the road to join you, and will go forward as
fast as possible. Franklin's division Is now on the
advance toward: Nanassas. There is no means of
transportation het. to send it forward in time to be
of service in your present operations. Telegraph

Secretary of War.
By the 9th of April I had acquired a pretty good
knowledge of the position and strength of tne one•
my'i Works, and the obstacles to be overcome. -On
that day I received the following letter from the
President:
WASHINGTON, April 9, 1862.
Major General Mcclellan:
Pay Dzen. bin: Your despatches, complaining
that you are not properly sustained, while they do
not offend me, do pain me very much. Blenker's
division was withdrawn from you before you left
here, and you know the purpose under which I did
it, and, as I thought, acquiesced in it—certainly,
not without reluctance. After you left, I aster
tained that less than twenty thousand unorganized
men, without a single deld-battery, were all you
designed to be left for the defence of Washington
and Manama Junction, and part of this even was
to go to General Hooker's position. General
Banks' corps, once designed for Manassas Junction,
was diverted ; and having taken a trip up on the
line of Winchester and Strasburg, I mould not have
it without again exposing the Upper Potomac and
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. / This presented
(or would present, when McDowell and Sumner
should be gone) a great temptation to the enemy to
turn back from the Rappahannock and sack Wash
ington. My explicit order that Washington should,
by the judgment of all the commanders of army
corps, be left entirely secure, had been neglected.
It was precisely this that drove me to detain
McDowell.
I do not forget that I was satisfied with your
arrangement to leave Banks at Manassas Junction
;
but when that arrangement Was broken up, and
nothing was substituted for it, of source I was eon
strained to substitute something for it myself, and
allow me to ask : Do you really think I should per
mit the line from Richmond, via Manassas Junction,
to be entirely open, except what resistance could be
prevented by less than twenty thousand unorganized
troops? This is a question which the country will
not allow me to evade.
There is a curious mystery about the numbers of
the troops now with you.- When I telegraphed to
you on the 6th, saying you had over a hundred
thousand with you, I had just obtained, front the
Secretary of. War a statement taken, as he said from
your own returns, making 106,000 then with you,
and en route to you. You now say you will have
but 65,000 when all en route to you shalt have
reached you. How can the discrepancy of 23,000 be
accounted for I
As to General Wool's command, I understand it
is doing for you precisely what a like number of
your own would have to do, if that command was
away.
I suppose the whole force which has gone forward
for you, is with you by this time, and if so, I think
it is the precise time for you to strike a blow. By
delay the enemy will relatively gain upon you ; that
is, be will gain faster-by fortifications and reinforce
ments than you can by reinforcements alone. And
once more let me tell you, it is Indispensable to you
that you strike a blow. lam powerless to help this.
You will do me the justice to remember that I
always insisted that going down the Bay in search
of a field, instead of fighting at or near Manassfui,
was only shifting, and not surmounting a difficulty;
that we would find the same enemy and the same or
equal entrenchments, at either place. The country
will not fail to note, is now noting, that the present
hesitation to move upon an entrenched enemy is but
the story el 111 repeated.
I beg to assure you that I have never written you,
or spoken to you, in greater kindness of feeling than
now, nor with a fuller purpose to sustain you, so far
as in my most anxious judgment I consistently can.
But you must act.
Yours, very truly, A. LINCOLN.
Secretary' Chase and Soldiers , Bounties.
A letter from the Secretary of the Treasury to
Senator Famenden, relative to appropriations for
soldiers' botuaides is published. -The War Depart
%en*, he,assieeedimatem that 0,000 veteran volun.
tem have been or nitay be enlisted from the armies
in the field. Besides these there are volunteers to
fill up old regiments, and estimating their number
at 50,000, there will ie 100,000 men requiring bowl.
ties amounting to $26,750 000 , of which sum about
fifteen million dollars will be required during the
present year. If these figures are correct, Mr. Chase
fs of opinion that appropriations to that extent may
be safely made, but he goes on to say:
41 1 must not omit, however, to observe that any
additions to the appropriation, demanded by exist
ing estimates enhances the difficulty of obtaining
the vast sums required to saltine them.
I' The first duty of the Republic to its cohliCre And
sailors is prompt payments and sure supplies. Pay
ments cannot be prompt nor supplies sure if appro
priations exceed the probability of certain pron.
alone.,
"The estimates heretofore submitted require from
loans for the last seven months of the fiscal year
1864, $362.226,639, or $60,518,079 a month. If vigor,
and decision, and earnestness in the work of sup
pressing the rebellion shalt be attended with marked
progress toward its consummation, these large
sums, and the additional sums required for bounties,
can probably be obtained at reasonable rates.
"But the whole of these additional sums, as well as
every other amount added to expenditure beyond
estimates, ahould begatied by taxation. No unaer
tainty can be safely allowed to attend , the question
of prompt payment. Delay of payment and doubts
as to its certainty chill the ardor of the beat soldiers,
create, dissatisfaction in the minds of dealers with
the Government, enhance prices of supplies, and in
vite deterioration of their qualities.
"I trust, therefore, that the Committee on Finance
will accompany aky report that may be made of the
resolutions referred to it with some revolution
pledging the faith of Congress to raise by taxation,
beyond the $161,665,500.35 heretofore estimated as
the proportion of thin year's disbursements to be
provided for in this mode, every dollar which may
be appropriated beyond the estimate - submitted at
the commencement of the solution.
"AS considerations of prudence and economy re
quire thislegislation. It will be impossible to raise
large gums in the market unless large sums are also
raised by taxation. In the report submitted to ['en
gross at the commencement of the minden I ventured
to say ;.-‘ It is hardly too much—perhaps hardly
enough—to say that 'every dollar raised for extraor
dinary expenditures or reduction of debt is worth
two in the increased value of national securities and
Increased - facilities for the negotiation of indispensa
ble loans.' Reflection and observation since. have
satisfied me that under our present circumstances
the remark is an understatement of the truth.

at Delmonicele this the 20th day of August. I don't
feel like it. The weather is too warm, and there

do you good to see him raise his arms, and picture
the meeting between his lady and himself, on her

A NNW T0P.73. remanr,v, OPINION ISP MATTERS AND
I==l
New Yomc, Aug. 27, 1863.
MY DEAR MARLEY : I wrote you some days
since and told you all I thought of at the moment
..that would be of the least interest. "Since writing
you we have the report that Sumpter " has been
crumbled by shot' and shell, and I very , much fear
such is the fact ; and in .the absence of any know
ledge of the defence after the fall of Sumpter, I, like
every one around me, am forced to the conclusion
that Charleston must fall into the hands of the ene
my. It will be hard, indeed, but I still have hope.
The people in this country are all of the opinion
that, with the fall of Charleston, the war is well
nigh its end, and all base their operations according
ly. lam of your opinion, and believe that this war
will only end with the independence of the South in
some shape. I have great hope that Prance will
at once come to our aid. She will, I doubt not, have
settled the Polish difficulty ere this reecho" you, and
I have been informed that the Polish trouble alone
has been the mute of delay on the part of the Em
peror.
Can't you see him, and impress upon him the im
propriety of allowing twenty millions of people to
attack and destroy one-third of their number. who
only desire to withdraw from any further associa
tion with them t If we had been properly repre
sented abroad from the beginning of our troubles, I
am satisfied (iniLporta would now be open. That is
all we want. Well, I fancy you will do all you can
without any suggestions from me. The Yankees do
not like the movements of the rebels in Mexico,
and say when they get through with the South they
will turn their attention to Mexico, We shall see.
From all I can learn, fear there is some trouble in
North Carolina ; but I fancy nothing of a serious
nature. Let me know about the grain crop of Eu
rope. I learned today from Mr. Parsons that Briggs
paid Mr. Putnam the three thousand.' Mr. Parsons
showed me Putnam's receipt for the amount, dated
20th April. Consequently I shall hop on Briggs so .
far as that amount is concerned.
The clothes, boots , ho., lam after. have agreed
with Mennoefor a colt of Dogan'a to match yours,
so you will in two years have a pair. Cammack is

//BAR FRIEND 6 YoUrs, from Halifax, came to
hand, but a long time after it was written. I noted
with interest all you say, and in reply would say
that many things of importance could be done here
between us, could the means only be provided,
which cannot be raised here. Nothing is impossible
with proper means and energy. The latter we
would not lack, but the former must be had. I
cannot go into particulars at this time, as I expect
to be in Europevery soon—say in October—when,
if you are still there, I will tell you what can be
done, and what not.
If you wish to, write me for anything in particu

LATER DATES PROM THE SAME BOURSE.
New YORK, Sept. 16, 1863.
MY DEAR CHARLEY : Your favor of August 26th
duly received, with inclosure i the carte de vieites—
the beat I ever jaw—in feat, they era perfect, in.
decd. Believe me, it was a grateful sight to look at
you. You certainly must have engaged the services
of the beat artist in Paris, from the appearance of
the harness you had on. There are devilish few
rebels now a day' that come out rigged in your
style. Cammack says if you make your. appearance
in the Confederacy in that harness your friends at
home will swear you are in league with the enemy.
The handkerchiefs, my dear fellow, are the moat
beautiful I ever put my eyes upon, and as for the R.
crown, I would prefer to live serving that, or any
other, rather than live under Yankee rule. Today
I firm ly believe. the Southern Confederacy will be
recognized by France in lest than sixty days, and in
that event the aubseriber will have an opening to
make some money. Before I forget it, let me thank
you for the kind remembrance of the humble writer.
I shall haves glace ease for the hands today. We
all drank your health at the Clarendon Hotel.
Cammack has been here for some weeks and has
had no trouble, and in reply to your inquiry about
your coming here, I will say I do not believe you
will be in any danger of arrest if you come here
quietly'. As for
betgeting off with horses, still, I
think it would attended with difficulty ; , it
might be done. In any event, I think your beet way
is to come here and go to Havana, if you can't Cross
the Potomac in safety. I can take care of you here,
sure, If you will keepyour mouth shut. If you wish
to write home, via New York, send your letter to
me, under cover, to the care of James Dart Si Co.,
28 William street, and I will get them through; You
say you have not received anything from. me. I
have written three or four times. I trust you will

we are about used up, and must give in soon. In
short, it seems to be the opinion of the Union
abrtekers that peattewill crown the efforts of the

have not yet got Charleston, notwithatanding they

_ LONDON, Oct. 18, 1863.
DIY DEAR FAIRER : Your letters of the 9th and
30th of July are the only ones I have had from you
up to this time. The one of the 9th reached me but
a day or two since. I find it impossible to do any.
thing with cotton, as the Government is our comps
titor upon a basis of 2% cents per pound at any sea
part, tree from all taxes and other charges. They
are issuing bonds; in other wordy, agreeing to delb
ver cotton as above, at 54., and these bonds are sell
ing at 50 cents on the d'ol'lar. It is impossible to
conceive by anything I can write—though you have,
as I know, a liberal opinion of them on that subject—
the amount of swindling going on all the time, and
conducted by Government agents. Capt. Bullock is
the only one whose name is untarnished. Some of
them have made large fortunes. One has a summer
residence out of London, and winter one must out of
Paris, bought, it is said, and presented him by the
house of Isaac Campbell Sr CO.
That he is living at the rate of $35,000 a year, I
imagine there can be no doubt. With such financial
agents to negotiate, and such agents to make the
expenditure., how is the Government credit to
stand? lam and have been for ten days trying to
consummate an arrangement for the purchase of one
boat, and it a suitable one can be had I shall buy it,
the company to be interested to the extent of
12,000. I have obtained subscriptions in cash to pay
for one half, and Henry Lafone, of Liverpool, takes
the other. Mafia is to command her, and goes to
Sweden to-morrow, with an engineer, to examine
and buy her, if she is what is represented. Boats
suitable have to be built as a general thing, and the
demand for them is so great that they literally com
mand the pricey. Boats that were contracted for
four months ago and now being finished at a cost
of E 13,000, are se lling like hot cakes at from £20,000
20 £25,000. Such boats as I wanted, viz ; 350 feet
long in beam, and ii feet hold, with , o horse power,
and guaranteed to steam not lees than seventeen
mike, are worth from £28,000 to £30,000.
I am about to contract for a second boat to be
built, to be paid out of the earnings of the first:
guaranteed by cotton in the Confederacy ; but I see
no reason why I should remain tense her completed.
Mr. Lafone :whowill also own one-half—will see

An Ovation to Gen. John Morgan in Rich
mond—His Escape from Prison and. Ad
ventures During Plight—A Remarkable
General John Morgan was honored with an ova
two, on the 7th, on his arrival at the rebel capital.
The following highly interesting account of his
escape from the Ohio Penitentiary, and subsequent
adventurer, is published In the E'nguirer, It will
repay perusal:
Their bedsteads were small iron stools, fastened to
the wall with hinges. They could be hooked up or
allowed to stand on the floor, and, to prevent any
suspicion, for several days before any work was
attempted, they made it a habit to let them down
and sit at their doors and read. Captain Hines
superintended the work, while General Morgan kept
watch to divert the attention of the sentinel, whose
duty it was to come round during the day and ob.
nerve if anything was going on. One day this fellow
came in while Hokersmith was down under the floor
boring away, and, missing him, said, "Where is Ho
hersmith ?" The General replied, "He is in my
room sick," and immediatelypulled a document out
of hi s pocket, and said to him, "Here is a memorial
I have drawn up to forward to the Government at
Washington ; what do you think of it 1"
/The fellow, who perhaps could not read, being
highly flat tered at the General's condescension,
took it and very gravely looked at it for several mo
ments before he vouchsafed any reply. Then, hand
ing it bank, he expressed himself higblyplesited with
it. In the meantimelHokersmith had been signalled
and came uppprofessing to feel "very unwell." This
sentinel was the most Moult and dangerous obits•
ele in their progress, because there was no telling at
what time he would enter during the day, and at
night be came regularly every two hours to each cell
and inserted a light through the bars of their door, to
see that they were quietly sleeping, and frequently
after he had completed his rounds he would slip back
in the dark, with a pair of india rubber shoes on, to
listen at their cells if anything was going on. The
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 sensi
bility might sometimes fail him, he broke up small
particles of coal every morning and sprinkled them
before the cell door, which would always announce
his coming.
Everything was now ready to begin the work ; so
about the latter part of October they began to bore.
All were Wu—one making a rope ladder by tearing
and twisting up strips of bedtiok, another making
bowie-In:Liver, and another twisting up towels.
They labored perseveringly for several days, and
after boring through nine inches of cement and nine
thicknesses of brick placed edgewise, they began to
wonder when they should reach the soft earth.
Suddenly a brick fell through What could this
mean? What infernal chamber had they reached?
It - was immediately entered, and, to their great
astonishment andjoy, it proved to be an alochans •
her extending the whole length of the row of cell!.
Here was an unexpected interposition in their favor.
Hitherto they had been obliged to conceal their rub
high in their bedtickg, each day burning a propor
tionate quantity of straw ; now they had ; room
enough for all they could dig. They at once com
menced to tunnel at right angles with this air.chant
bar, to get through the foundation; and day after
day they bored, day after day the blocks of granite
were removed, and still the workbefors themseemed
interminable.
After twenty-three days of unremitting labor, and
getting through a granite wall of six feet in thick
ness, they reached !the Moil. They tunelled up for
some distance, and light began to shine. How glo
rious was that light! It announced the fulfilment of
their labors, and if Providence would only continue
Its favor, they would soon be free. This was the
morning of the 26th day of November, 1863. The
next night, at twelve o'clock,. was determined on as
the hour at which they would attempt their liberty.
Each moment that intervened was filled with dread
ful anxiety and suspense, and each time the guard
entered increased their apprehensions. The General
pays he had prayed for rain, but the morning of the
21th dawned bright and beautiful. The evening
came, and clouds began to gather. How they prayed
for them to increase t If rain should only begin,
their chances of detection would be greatly less
ened. While these thoughts were passing through
their minds, the keeper entered with a -- letter for
General Morgan. He opened it, and, what was his
surprise, and I may say wonder, to find it from a
poor Irish woman of his acquaintance in Kentucky,
commencing : "My dear Glared, I feel certain yon
are going to try to sit out of pri i on, but for your
sake doxilt you try it, my dear Gnral. You win
only be taken prisoner agin, and made to suffer
more than you do now."
The letter then went on to speak of his kindness
to the poor when he lived at Lexington, Mid eon.
eluded by again exhorting him to trust in God and
wait his time. What could this mean? No human
being on the outside had been informed of his lutest
Lion to escape, and yet, just as all things were ready
for him to make the attempt, here comes a letter
from Winchester, Ky.', advisWg him not to " fry IV)
This letter had pasted through the examining office
of General Mason, and then through the hands of
the lower officials. What if it should excite their
suspicion, and cause them to exercise an increased
vigilance? The situation, however, was desperate.
Their fate could not be much worse, and they re.
solved to go. Nothing now remained to be done but
for the General and Colonel Dick Morgan to change
cells. The hour approached for them to be locked
up. They changed coats, and, each stood at the
other's sell door with his back exposed, and pre.
tended to be engaged in making up their beds. /as
the turnkey entered they "turned in" sad pulled
their doors shut.

train reached Xenia it was detained by some aced
dent more than an hour. Imagine his anxiety, am
soldier after soldier would pass through the train.
for fear that when the sentinel passed his round at

The train Was due in Cincinnati at 0 o'clock. Tide
was the hour at which they were turned out of their
cells, and of course their escape would be then dig
covered. In a few moments after it would be known
all over the country. The train, having been detain-
ed at Xenia was running very rapidly to make up
the time. It was already part 8 o'clock. The Gene
gal said to Capt. Hines, "It is after six ; it we got.
the depot we are dead men. Now or never !" They
went to the rear and put on the brakes. "Jump,.
Hines !" Off he went, and fell heels-overhead W.

the General jumped. He was more suc ce ssful: and
lighted on his feet. There were some soldiers near.
who remarked, "What in the h=l do you mean by
jumping off the cars here?" The General replied.
"What in the d—l is the use of my going into town
when I live here ; and, beside, what business is it of
yours?"
They went immediately to the river. They found
a Miff, but no oars. Soon a little boy came over,
and appeared to be waiting. "What are you wait
ing for?" said the General. "I am waiting for my
load." "Whet is the price of a load?" " Two de l.
lays." "Well, as we are tired and hungry, we will
give you the two dollars, mid you gran put us over."

He remained in Kentucky some days feeling per

found a Federairegiment had just arrivedthere look

four days, and then struck out for Dixie, sometimes
disguising himself as a Government cattle contract
or, and buying a large lot of :rattle, and at other
times a quartermaster, until be got to the Tennessee
river. Here he found all means of transportation
destroyed, and-the bank strongly guarded, but, with
the assistance of about thirty others, who had re
cognised him and joined him in spite of his remon

Capt. Hines crossed Oyer. His escort, with heroic
selemicrifice, refused to cross until he was safely

paying him $2O for it. The river was so high that
the horse came near drowning, and, after more than
one hour's struggling , with the stream, was pulled
out so exhausted as namely to be able to stand.
The General threw a blanket on him and com

fee for the nion people of the country. The lady,
who appeared to be asleep while this interview was
taking place with her husband, at the mention of
auger and 'coffee, 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 known
how long !" She was so delighted at the prospect
that she made up a fire and cooked them a good
supper. Supper being over, the General remarked
that be understood some rebels had "tried to arose
the river this afternoon." "Yes," said the woman.
"but our men killed some un urn, and driv the rest
back." "Now," says the General. is I know that,
but didn't some of them get over?" " Yes," was
her reply, "but they are on the mountain and can't
get down without being killed as every road int
stopped up." He then maid to her: "It is very int
portant for mete get to Athens by to-morrow night,
or I may lose that sugar and coffee, and I am afraid
to go down any of these roads, for fear my own men
will kill me."
The fear of losing that sugar and coffee brought
her again to an accommodating mood, and she re.
plied : " Why, Paul, kan't you show the Captain
through our farm, that road down by the lied'?" The
General says, "Of course, Paul, you can do it, and
as the nightie very cold, I will give you in (in
gold) to help you along." The gold, and the prop
peat of auger and coffee, was too much for any poor
man's nerves, and he yielded, and, getting on a horse,
he took them seven miles to the big road.
From this time forward he had a series of adven
tures and escapee, all very wonderful, until he got
near another river in Tennessee, when he resolved
to go up to a house and find the way. Hines went
to the house, while the General stood in the road.
Hearing a body of cavalry come dashing up behind
him, he quietly slipped to one side of the road, audit
parsed by without observing him. They went tra
velling after Hines, and, poor fellow, he has not
been heard of since. How sad to think that he
!should be either captured or killed, after so many
brave efforts, not only in his own behalf, but also in
that of the General, for the General says that it is
owing chiefly to Hines' enterprise and skill that they
made their escape.
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

most agreeable way of explaining it,he is determined
to believe it.
The above account may be relied on as correct;
and, although much has been left out, yet enough
is printed to stamp it as one of the most remarkable
escapes In history.
