escape. A watch was kept on their move
ments during Tuesday and Wi-dnueday nights,
but they did not attempt to get out. On Tours'
day night, about ten o’clock, tbo jailor, in
company with his assistants, entered the cell,
and made a thorough examination of the place’
They discovered that Several bars and rods
of iron had been cut or sawed off from the
bedstead, and used in removing the stone and
plaster which secured the iron window plalu of
the cell. The removal of this plato would have
enabled the prisoners to get into the jail yard,
after which they could have escaped by reeling
the wall. The damsgo done lo the pLie wa*
carefully concealed in daylight, by being
stuffed with bread, and covered wilt a thin
coating of Paris plaster. They had a now rope,
supposed to have been conveyed to Bannon by
his wile, secreted in the bed, "with an iron hook
attached to one end. The ceil wss in the sec
utid tier, south side, and after the removal of
the piste the rope w-uld have been used for the
purpose of letting themselves down, ml also
in scaling the jail wall. Pieces of meat, and
a quantity of white powder,resembling arsenic,
were also found in the cell, supposed lo have
been intended to be used in silencing the watch
dogs in the jail yard Thu insole Uo-r of the
cell had been broken off, and the hinges re
moved—so that it would seem they had in view
two avenues of escape, inside as well a* out
side The prisoners were both scoured, and
chained, in a lower cell. They endeavored to
induce the ajik.r to believe that the prepara
tions for rscape had boon made by thedeaertirig

well laid,and but for the vigilance of the jailor
would have been sucwtsfuliy carried out

It may be seen tbatthe sale of the residue
-of the reiii esta-W of Howard H. liysn, will
take piece at the Court House, on Wednes
day, February 13,at 10 o’clock. The property
now offered is among the most valuable and de
sirable that has been offered for yran>. Wo
would especially call attention to iLo ‘\Spnr.g
Hill” property. This pla* e adjoius tbo res:-
deuce of Adam Keioeman, Ksq., and com
manding, as it does, & most beautiful prospwt
of the city* and surrounding country, is at the
same time surpassed by none in point of hoaltby
location. Jt is within a short hour’s walk of
the city. Tfw buildings on tho premises con
sist, a* we are informed, of one two story brick
mansion, with fourteen rooms and all tbu luoifo
ern Improvement*, such as marble mantJe<,
«fec., Ac., one large stone basement subli- will)
agood tenant and carriage b<*m>e atuebod. k
handsomely finished hot-house, with a cholic
assortment of flowers, also a number ol hot
beds. There is also a never failing spring,
covered by a good substantial stone bmu.*, \
<fcc.
In addition to the above, wu may inanliuri
that the ground attached to the mansion con
tains eight acres, all in &n ezcellont state of
cultivation; two acres of which ore planted
with the best Catawba and foreign grapes, and
have yielded for several years from seven hun
dred to one thousand gal lons of excel lent wine:
one half acre is planted with the choicest vari
eties of strawberries, gooseberries, Ac..A*e,and
a great variety of the best qualities of plum,
pear, apple, aprioot and cherry trees. The
above property and the adjoining pieces are al
very desirable, not only for their short distance
from the city, but also by reason of their great
prospective increase in value. We may at some
other time call attention to the proporty on
Ferry stroet. Mr. C. K. Koper, at “Ryan’s
builaidgs,” the gentleman now residing on the
Spring Hill property, will cheerfully give any
information concerning it to persona who may
call upon him. Application may bo made to
John J. Mitchel, Kiv t ., No. 87 Fifth street, or
to J. M. bass, No. Fennßylv&nia Avenue,
for hand bills.
A Pittsbubokr in Luck.—A correspond

“On Thursday last, a Mr. inmith, member of a
Pittsburgh firm, struck nii at sixty-eight feet,
near wbat ia known as tho Dutton weil, which
promises to rival the Lewellen or Kathbone
wells of Virginia. The first barroi was pumped
in five minutes, with a hand-pump, and after
wards four barrels wero pumped in fifteen
minutes Mr. Smith instantly telegraphed his
friends in Pittsburgh to burn up tbeir old
clothes, get new ones and come down. He was
offered $lO,OOO for this well the second day
after it went into operation. California, at
Suter’s mill, nevor exhibited a more novel
sight than in the oil region; every acre along
the valley has its shanty and its miners —the
click of the drill is heard on every hill-side j
anon the party strikes tbo carboniferous corns
.pound—aloud shout and waving of hates and
the miners resume their labors.”

Amusements Ju the City.
Nover in our experience, has the show busi
ness been «*t so perfect a stand still in our citv
as at the present time. On last Saturday even
ing, though managed, for ihe past two sea*
sons, better than for years previous, the
burgh theatre,a most admirable place of umusa
merit, was closed for want of patronage. Two
days before the Morjjs & Wilson Minstrels,
excellent representations of an ever-popular
class of amusement, left us, (the first instance,
; in many where a really meritorious
! troupe, failed to do a paying business,) having
suffered a heavy pecuniary kns. H&oibujer, a
good wizard, is performing to empty benches,
notwithstanding the attraction of gifts to every
visitor. Even concerts and lectures, among
our reading and musical population, arc not
patronized a* they should he; while the pro
prietors of “ten cent, shows,’ with, perhaps,
one exception, are doing a starving business
W bat is the cause of this *' We are daily
asked. We can scarcely answer—but believe
tho chief cause to be tho*political excitement of
the time and the fear of “hard times ahead.”
Money is not scarce.fb the city, but there is
an evident dread tfcat it may be, and our citi-
Kens regulate their: expenditures accordingly,
amusements being*' among tho first luxuries
expensed with. Be this a# it may, amusementa
are so “stale flat and unprofitable,” that it will
fake some timo to galvunize tbo public into
fi newing their support < f them.
Calloway’s Castle Burned Down.
Nearly every resident of Allegheny knows
the location of the old rookury, known as
Galloway s Castle, occupied bv eight or fon
colored families, which has alwuvs furnished
foes to police officers and items lo'newspapers
On Thursday right its inhabitants bmi been
up late with their drunken orgms a;?d some
h-id scarcely got Into a <vmi\ rtsM*. •*!.., »p, when,
about f«»ur o’clock in tbe umruirg, the building
was discovered to bo on lire, having caught
front a defective stove pipe. The inmalen of
the Castle managed to escape, soma with and
■»* me without clothing, but n.mu were able to
<avo any great proportion of the scanty bouse,
bold goods they had in the Caalfo The build
ing was soon burned down and not a vostigo
of it now remains. The Castle fodong«d u»
the heirs of Geo. Galloway, ami wa* of liftle
valor.
Ihe building contained ten rooms, occupied
by hs many families, among them Charles
Ifos*, .John Thornton, George Sizemore, James
VVuliama, Thos. Ji.txs rdJ daughter, ami
J'.bn Jackson and -vifa, all coiYred, together
With ono or two white familits. Tbe drstruc
li..n of this old building will be a relief in the
neighborhood to which it was a great nuisance
Tho unhoused families who wore taken care o(
during the night by tho neighbor., will soon
find new quarters.

FROM THE telegraphic DIS
PATCHES to THE NEW YORK
HERALD.
EWS.
Washington, Fob. i;, 18fil.-TheSec-etary
of war communicated late this evening the
reply to Col. Hayne’s letter. It calls for an
answer from Col. H., which will be made to.
morow, and which will close the correspond
once. r
The Government respectfully refuse to com.
pig with the propositions of South Cttroliria for
the surrender of Fort Su.opter. All hope of a
solution of this question has been abandoned
for some time, but there has been an apparent
disposition on both sides todelay matters, in
the hope that an amicable adjustment might
be made, and which would load to a peaceable
termination of allairs in Charleston harbor.
The matter cannot bo farther postponed
doutii Carolina has presented her ultimatum.
Tne Government have positiveiy refused to
comply. Thus the aSair stands.
It now only remains for South Carolina to
carry out her purpose of taking the fort.
The President’s course in relation to the
proposition of Colonel Hayne is similar tothat
towards the former Commissioners from South
( orolina, namoly :—That ho has no authority
to treat for the sale, or make any other dispo
sition whatever of the forts or other public
property in that State; that it is his duty to
defend the forts to the best of his ability, and
that the consequences of doing so must tail on
those who attack them- Colonel Hayne will
now return to South Carolina.

_ Washington, Feb. U, The Peace
Congress is making litLLlo progress. They
niove slowly snd surely. Their sessions still
incline to be secret. At their meeting thiß
morning, after adopting rules by which they
are to bo governed, Mr. Guthrie, of Kentucky,
oflered for the appointment of a
(Mill rnituT—oji.e from each Slate, to be selected
by the delegates of each State—on whom is to
devolgp the important duty of reporting some
1 Inn of adjustment.
Mr. (nithrio sustained his motion in & pow*
orful and patriotic speech, in which he showed
the great importance of a speedy settlement of
tho political differences now distracting the
country. The great Mississippi Valley, he
stated, had a right to be heard on this vital
quedion. She bad more at stake in this mat
ter than ary other section of tho Union, and
be called upon the Convention to come forward
and in a proper spirit, laying aside all preju
dice and bias, adjust the differences which bad
woli nigh destroyed,and it not speedily settled,
would entirely destroy ourglonons Union.
Mr. William C. Rives, of Virginia, followed
in the same strain, making a paitiotic appeal
to the conservatives, urging the adoptionaf
Mr. Uuthrie’s resolution- r
Ojlr. Caleb B. Smith, of In diana, also spoke
in Favor of the resolution. He was for doing
everything that was honorable and Jtlst to
bring about an amicable settlement.
Mr. Chase, of Ohio, also sustained the reeo»
luturn, and made an exceeding conservative
speech. He was willing to concede everything
that was proper and right to the border States,
and be thought that by mutual concessions on
•II sides the troubles that now menaced the
I'ho report was
I'nion might be happily and speedily averted.
Mr. Sea Jen, of Va.,coincided with much that
had been said. He hoped tho rcsolutioztaroold
he adopted, and that tho Convention would
proceed at once to tho important matter for
which they assembled.
