THE ESCAPE OF THE UNION PHr.OWEBS
FBOM BICHMOND.
' Baltimore, Feb. 17.—The escaped Union
officers reached here this morning, and leave
for Washington this afternoon^
The account of their escape is full of thrilling
interest; but, for prudential reasons, many of
the particulars are withheld from publication at
present.
They were fifty-one days engaged in naaking.
a tunnel. Having managed to find access to the
cellar of their prison they commenced to work,
relieving one another as opportunity afforded. .
Their . instruments were •
pocket-knives, chisels and files. Twice they
had to abandon their wort and commence
anew on account of obstructions, which they
could not pass. They had hoped to have
availed themselves of a culvert, but found "it.
impracticable. After getting , through the wall
they disposed of the excavated soil by drawing
it oilt in ft spittpon ? which they attached to a
cord.
TKs would be filled by the party at work in
the tunnel and pulled out into the cellar by
their companions, -who disposed of it by
spreading it in shallow layers over the floor,
concealing it beneath the straw. The work
was necessarily very slow. So close was the
atmosphere in the tunnel'that they could re
main in it but a few moments at a time and
their candles would go out.
. At one time they got so near the bed of the
street that a small hole about the size of a
stove pipe broke through, but fortunately this
was not observed by the guard and was a great
service, admitting air and enabling them to pro
secute their work more rapidly. The tunnel
when completed was about 50 feet long, and.
opened into an old tobacco shed beyond the
line of guards. As soon as they found the
way clear they emerged slowly in small squads
•f two and three, and sauntered off until
they got clear .of the guards, making
their way towards the Williamsburg road by
the shortest route. The darkness favored them,
and the fact that all the rebel soldiers whom
they met were habited in the army coats of'
Uncle Sam, which they had stolen from the
supplies sent to our prisoners by our govern
ment, was of great help to them '
Although they were attired in onr army
coatß and many of them had their haversacks,
they found the national uniform a better dis
guise than if they had been provided with gen
uipefrebel uniforms. In order to elude their
pursuers, whom they knew would soon he on
their track, they scattered as much as pos
sible. ;
Many were their hardships and sufferings
and' frequent their narrow escapes from the
rebel cavalry, who next morning were bush
whacking in every direction for them.
The joy which they experienced when they
first caught sight of our troops, sent out to
help them and protect them from their pur
suers, cannot he expressed.
To the officers and men ot the 11th Penn
sylvania Cavalry, whom they .first met, they
express the most profound gratitude for their
unbounded kindness, and also bear testimony
to ‘ the gallantry with , which these
gallant fellows pursued the rebel
cavalry and rescued many of the wayworn
fugitives, who otherwise would have been re
captured. There is good reason to hope that
many more will yet come in safe.

Saw Fpawcisco, Feb. 3*. —Previous to thede
barque Rogers from Kanagawa
thebngMarvCapen arrived therefrom China,re
porting that the steamer Wyoming was on the 2d
of January off Amoy.
Her eommander reported that the steamer Ala
bama was in port, off Amoy, going into dock.
The following letter has been received by a mer
cantile firm in this city, extensively engaged in the
China trade:
Kawagawa, Jan. 7, 1564. To Messrs. McCori
jkray & Co,, San Francisco .• Dear Sirs—We are
enabled, by the delay of’the barque Rogers in the
Imrbor, owing to calms, to give you good news.
The privateer Alabama is in dock at Amoy, China,
and the Wyoming, Captain McDougal, is send
ing sentry over h er. We may hope that her career
is ended. The Jamestown is also there-before
this. The news comes by the brig Mary Oapen,
five days from Shanghai, and is authentic.

„ • LOSS OF A WESTERN STEAMER.
Oajeo, Feb. 17 —The steamer Imperial, from
Bt. Louis, has arrived, and reports passing the
steamer Orient sunk to her hnrricane deck, in Do-
Tooth Bend, twenty miles below here, tshe struck
a snag at half-pas t seven.o’ clock this moraine, and
•went down mten minutes. Twenty.fiye or thirty
lives ate supposed to have been lost, including the
Wife of Captain Horton, thg chambermaid, the
steward, barber, and the custom-house officers of
the boat. She was laden with government stores
including eighty hqrses, all hut three of which
were lost. The Imperial brought down the sur-
Tiving passengers.
. FROM WASHINGTON.
Washihgton, Feb. 17 —The President to-day
aent to: Congress a message, accompanied by the
papers in the case of the ship La Manche, cap
tured in August last by the Ino, as a blockade
runner, with a recommendation from Secretary
Seward for an appropriation in payment of the
award of 141, COO francs, made by the arbitrators,
and Company, tbe owners.
TThe friendß of General .Slough complain that
great inmatice has been done to him by a recent
publication, relative lo his administration of affairs
at Alexandria. They eay that the renort of the
Committee on. the Conduct of the Var P will show
Gen. Slough to be innocent ot any retention of
anesi and not to have been oppressive on the con.
trabands under his authority.
The: House, of Representatives several weeks
since passed a resolution calling on- the Secretary
#f the Navy for information relative to the mode of
obtaining supplies, etc. Tne. Secretary has re
sponded,, communicating the draft of a proposed
law.to create the offlees of disbursing ana pnr
ehasingagent, a naval- storekeeper, inspector and
receiver. It appears,, from the documents, that
in the Bureau of Equipment and Engineering,
nearly forty per cent, of purchases, amounting to
95,01i,0e0, were obtained in open market by Navy
Agents on.requisition, and the remainder by con
tract. . '
in the Btireau of Navigation it is deemed nhsafe
end impracticable to procure nautical instruments'
and charts by. contract. Since the wax commenced
incst of the instruments formerly purchased in
Enropeare obtained at home, of improved qual
ity- - Ship's libraries have been supplied by con
tract to tbe amount of $5,300. The Ordnance Hu
reau makes no contracts. It is by law exempt

xS made with known manufacturers,
purchases, in the Bureau of Construction, are
ma ° e contract as far as practicable.
k. states that contiactors sometimes coni-
D 1L j e jr 1 ®* 1 ? nd prices, to complicate the award
and deter others from bidding, and thinks that a
Jaw excluding middle men, who sometimes under
bid manufacturers from contracts, might lead to a
combination o* manufacturers.
He recommends that guarantees be required that
bidders fulfil their ts;tbat contracts be only
for specified quantities, and that clashes embrace
only articles ot one general character.
purchases in. the Bureau of Yards and
Bocks, forty-three per cent, have been .made in
open marker, mainly through Navy Agents. The
Chief acknowledges a disposition on the part of
some N avy Agents to fasten Government patronage
on certain favored parties, aerecommaudsa ma
terial modification of the law respecting L&vai
supplies.
The Bureau of Engineering, in which ihe con
tract fystem is mainly adhered to, suggests that
purchasing.scents skpplcl hay? no
powef whatever, but their modification should t>e
prescribed by law. The Bureau of Provisions
and Clothing is compelled to purchase in 'the
market extensively certain perishable supplies
for ihe blockading vessels. . B’nrther legislation is
proposed to exclude irresponsible and designing
Parties from bidding for contracts. It is asserted
that men without capital or credit propose to sup
ply half a million dollars* worth of goods, and
heir bids must be accepted under the recent law,
xfthey make the lowest bid.
j There is no doubt that Congress will pass a law
reforming the manner of procuring supplies for
the Navy Departm nt.
The King Philip, Acting Master Frank, arrived
at the Navy Yard yesterday afternoon, from the
Lower Potomac. A few days ago the oUlcers at
the camp ot ihe rebel prisoners of war at Point
Lookout discovered that some of the prisoners were
evidently making arrangements to escape from
their quarters. It appears tnat by some means the
prisoners m one of the quarters had procured some
lumber, with which they had built two
boats, in which it is supposed they were
to • embark for the Virginia shore.
They were detected in their operations before they
had caulked the boats. It appears also that they
had collected some seventy old muskets and a lot
of stone.*,-a scarce article in that locality, and
which must have been brought some distance,
which they probably designed using as weapons
against any persons who should resist them It
is thought, however, that but few of the prisoners
were to attempt the escape, unless more boats were
to be built, as the two boats discovered would not
be'able to carry more than fifty persons.
The Senate in executive session to-day confirmed
the nomination of Edward H. Durell, to be Judge
of the District Court for the Eastern District of
Louisiana; Thomas Seekly, of lowa, to be Regis
ter of the Land Office at Des Moines: Ossamus H.
Irish, of Nebraska, to be Superintendent of Indian
• Affairs for the Territory of Utah: John H. McHo
naghan, pf Colorado, to be Hospital Chaplain.
„ .IMPORTANT FROM JAPAN.
S>k Feamcisco, Feb. 17. —The bark Roger* ar
rived at this port to-day from Kanagawa, Japan*
on the 7th ult.
. The palace of the Tycoon, at Yeddo, was burned
cn Christmas Day.
On the next day the Custom house was closed,
the officials declaring themselves so grieved at the
Tycton*s misfortunes that they were woolly
unable to transact buiiness. . ■
It was repotted that the fire originated in agun-'
powder plot to blow np the palace for the purpose
of killing the Tycoon. \(
The ciiy of Yeddo was agaurravaged by fire on
New Year’s Day. The buildings on eleven large
streets in the wealthy business quarter, besides
numerous adjoining tack streets and alleys', were
destroyed. It is ts timated that five hundred house*
of the belter classes were burned.
News had reached Kanagawa that on the 31st of
October all of Hakodadi had been burned by in
cendiary fires.
