Albert (1 Hichrdsox is about to issue a uow work called "The Field, the Dungeon, and the Eseape." It will be m-coliected that Mr. Hit-hard jon was a correspondent of the JVeiO York Tribune, and wascapturod in an attempt to run past t lie rebel Latteries at Vieksburg, at the time Gen. Grant was be sieging that then rebel stronghold. The ex tracts given below, relate to the manner of niakiug his escape from the reb:l prison at Salisbury, North Corolina, and will be read with intercut: ''On that ftiindaj evening, half an hrur before dark (the ia:e.;t moment atwhich the guards could be. passed, even by authorized persons, without the countersign), my Iriends. MesMs. Browne and Davis, went out to the llebel hospital, beyond the inner line of sentinels, as if to order their u.iuai medical supplies for the tick prison ers. As they passed ia and out a dozen times a day, and their faces were quite fa miliar to the sentinels, they were not com pelled to show their passes, and Mr. Browne left his behind, with me.- ; , A few minutes later, taking with me a long box filled .with the bottles in which med ical supplies were usually brought, and giv ing it to a little lad who assisted me in my hospital duties, I started to follow them. As if in grent baste, we walked rapidly toward the gate, while, leaning ajiaint trees or standing in the hospital doors, half a doz en ot our friends looked on to t-ee how the plan worked. When we reached the gate, I took the box from the boy. and said to him, of course for the bei.eSt of tha sen ;ine! : '"I am going outside, to get t hese bottles filled. 1 shall be back in about fifteen min utcs, and want you to remain right here, to take them and distribute them among the hospitals. Do not go a. say now." he lad understanding the matter per fectly, .replied : '"Yes, sir;" and I attempt ed to pais the sentinel by mere assurance. J had learned long before how far a ' man may go even in,captivity,bv steer native im p'udence by moving right along, without hesitation, with a confident look, ju, as if be had a right to go atid no one had any right to question him. On several occa sions, I absolutely saw prisoners, who had procured citizens' clothes, thus walk past the cnards in broad daylight, out of Kebcl prison. I think T c.v.ild have done it on this occa sion, but for the fact that it had been tried successfully two or three times, and the guards severely punished. The sentinel stop ped me with his musket, demanding : "Have yoti a pass, sir?" ''Certainly, I have a pass," I replied, with all the indignation I could ; assume. "Have not you seen it often enough to know by this time?" '. Apparently a little contounded, he replied modestly:' "Probably I have, but they are very strict with us, and I was not quite sure." I gave to him this geuuine pass belong ing to my associate : -Head quarters 0. S. Military Prison, ) .Salisbury, N. C, Dec. 5, 1864. Junius 11. Browne, Citizen, has permis sion to pass the inner gate of the Prison, to assist in carrying medicines to the Military Piison Hosoitais, until further orders. J. A. Faqla, Capt and Assistant Commandant of Post. We had speculated for a long time about ray usiug a spurious pass, and my two com rades prepared several, with a skill and ex actness which demonstrated that, if their talents had been turned in that direction, they in ght have made first-class forgers. But we finally concluded that the veritable pass was better, because, if the guard had any dou'it about it I could tell him to send it into head-quarters for examination. The an swer of course would be that it was genuine. But it was uot submitted to any such in spection. The guard spelled it out slowly, then folded and returned it to me, saying : "That pass is all right. I know Captain Faqua's handwriting. Go on, sir; excuse me. sir, ior ueiainiug I thought him very excusable under the circumstances, and walked out. My great fear was that, during the half hour which must elapse before 1 could go outside the garrison, 1 might encounter some Kebel of ficer or attach who knew me. Before I had walked ten steps. I sa, sauntering to and fro on the piazza of the new head-quarters building, a deserter from our service named Davidson, who recogniz ed and bowed to me. I rather, thought he would not betray me, but was still fearful ot it. I went on, and a few-yards further, coming toward ine in that narrow . lane, where it was impossible to avoid him, 1 saw the one rebel officer who knew me ; better than any other who came into mj quarters frequently Lieutenant Stockton, the postf adjutant. Observing him in the distance, I thought I recognized in him that old ill-fortune which had so long and steadily baffled us. , -- When we met I bade him good eveningj and conversed for a few minutes upon the weather, or some other subject, in - which I did not feel any very profound interest. Then he passed iuto : head-quarters, and : I went on. Yet a few yards further I en countered a third Kebel named Smith, who was entirely familiar with me, and whose quarters, inside the garrison, were within twenty feet of my own. There, were not half a dozen Confederates about the prison who were familiar with me, but it seemed as if at this time they were coming together iu a grand convention. , .Not daring to enter the llebel hospital, where I was certain to be recognized, I laid down iH3' box of medicines, and sought shelter in a little out-building. , While I re mained there, waiting for the coming of the blessed darkuess, I constantly expected to see a sergeaut, with a tile of rebel soldiers, come to take me back into the yard ; . but none came. It was rare good fortune. Stockton. Smith, and Davidson all knew if thev had their wits about them, that I, had no more right there than in the . village it self I suppose their thoughtlessness must have been caused by the peculiarly honest and business-like look of that medicine-box. At dark, my two friends joined me. We went through the gate in full sight of the sentinel, who, seeing us come from the hos pital, supposed we were Rebel surgeons or nurses. And then, on thatdark, rainy San day night, the first time for twenty months, we found ourselves walkingfreely in apublic street, without a rebel bayonet before or be hind us. So, on that cold night, when we were so stiff and exhausted that we could barely keep our seats on the mules they had so thoughtfully furnished, those friends con ducted us fifteen miles, and left us in a Union settlement we were seeking. It was now five o'clock in the morning. Leaving my companions behind, I tapped at the door of a log-house. . - . . . i . For many months, even before leaving prison, we bad been familiar with the name of Dan Ellis a famous Union guide, who sinse the beginning of ti e war, had done nothing but conduct loyal men to our lines. Ellis is a hero, and his life a romance. lie had taken through, in all, more, th ?n four thousand persons. He had probably seen more adventure in tights and races with the Rebels, n lor g jmrneys, sometimes bare-footed and through the snow, or swim ming the riversfull of floatingice than any oth -r man living. lie never lost but . one man. who was swooped up trough his own : heedlessness. The party had travelled eight or ten days, living on nothing but parched-corn. Dan insisted that a man could walk twenty five miles a day through snow upon parched-corn ju-st as well as upon any ' other diet if he only thought so. I feel bound to say that I have tried it and don't think so. This person held the same opinion. He revolted against the parched-corn diet, vowing that he would go to the first house and get an honest meal, if he was captured for it. He went to the first houes, obtained the meal, and was captured. After we had traveled fifty miles, every body said to us, "If you can only find Dan Ellis, and do just as he tells you, you will be certain to tret through." . Vie did find Dan Ellis. On a Sunday night, one bundled and thirty-four miles from our lines, greatly; broken down, we reached a point n the road, waited for two hours, when along came Dan Ellis, with a party of seventy men refugees, prisoners, llebel deserters, Union . soldiers returning from their homes within the enemy's lines, and escaped prisoners. About thirty of them were mounted and twenty armed.. Like most men of action, Dar was a per son of few words. When our story had been told to him, he said to his comrades ; "Boys, here are some gentleman who have escaped from Salisbury, and who are almost dead from the journey. They are our jeo ple. They have suffered in our cause. They are going to their homes in our lines. We can't ride and let these men walk. Get down off your horses and help them up." Down they came, and up we went; and then we pressed along at a terrible pace. ' : To-day when we came on the hot track of eight guerrillas, the Rebel-hunting instinct waxed strong within Dan, and, taking eight of his own men, he started in fierce pursuit. S(rpn of tbn enemv escaDed. but one was captured and brought to our camp a prison- i er. ! Then Dan went to the nearest Union i house, to learn the news ; for every loyal j family in a ranee of many miles knew and loved him. We, v ry weary, lay down to sleep in an old orchard, with our saddles for pil ows. Our reflections were pleasant. e j were only seventy-nine nnles tromthe Union lines. We progressed swimmingly, and had even begun to regulate the domestic affairs of i he border ! r Before midnight some one shook my arm.' I rubbed my eyes open andljoked up. There was Dan Eiiis. tit "Rn we. must saddle instantly. We have walked right in to a nest of Rebels ; sev- : eral hundred are within a few miles; eighty are in this immediate vicinity They are j layin" in ambush for Colonel Kirk and his men. It is doubtful whether we can ever get out of this. We must divide into two par ties. The footmen must take to thetnoun- f tains; we who are riding, and in much more dangei- as horses make more noise, and leave so many traces must press on at once, if we ever hope to reach the union lines. The word was passed in low tones. , Fling-1 ing our saddles upon our weary. horses, we j were on our way almost instantly. My ! lace was near the middle of the cavalcade. ; The man just before me was riding a white horse, which enabled me to follow him with ease. '-. Vre galloped along at Dan's usual pace, with the most sublime indifference to roads up and dowu rocky hills, across . streams, over fences everywhere but upon public thoroughfares.- . .' '. - : I suppose we had travelled three miles, when Mr. Davis fell back from the front, and said to me: "That young lady rides well ; does she not?" . "What young lady?" ... "Tne young lady who is piloting ns." I had thaught Dan Ellis was piloting us, and rode forward to see about the young lady-There she was, surely enough I could not scrutanize her face in the darkness, but it was fcaid to be couiery. I could see that her form was graceful, aud the ease aud firmuess with which she sat her horse would have been a lesson for a riding-master. She resided at the Union house, where Dan had gone for news. The moment she learned his need, she volunteered to pilot him out of that neighborhood, where she was born and bred, and knew ever yacre. The only accessible horse (one belonging to a Rebel officer, but just then Leptin her father's barn) was brought out and saddled. She mounted, came to our camp at midnight, and was now stealthily guidiiig us, avoiding farm-houses where the Rebels were quar tered, going round their camps, evading their pickets. ,, She led us for seven miles. Then, while we remained in the wood, she rode forward over the lone bridge which spanned the olechuckv River, to see if there were any guards upon it ; went to the first Union house beyond to Jearn whether the roads were picketed ; came back, and told us the coast was clear. Then she rode by our long line toward her home. We should have given her three rousing cheers, had it been safe to cheer. I hope the time is not far distant when her name may be made pub lic." Until the Rebel guerrillas are driven from out their hiding-places near her moun tain home, it will not be prudenL" -.

Davis, who has been captured with him, is his second wife, the daughter of Gen. Tay lor having died many years since. Mrs. Davis'maiden name was Verina Howell. She is said to be a erand daughter of Gov. How ell, of New Jersey. She is still a young woman, with a family, we believe of four children. . Material for the history of the rebelion will not be wanting. A dispatch trom New bern states that eleven tons of documents belongine to the Confederacy arrived there from Raleigh on the 17th. and were forward ed, under guard, to Washington. Henry A. Wise now claims! to have been a strenuous Union man, and only took up arms when forced to do so by the North to protect Southern rights! This certainty caps che climax of rebel impudence. In order to gather into the French ceme tery, at Sebastopol, the remains of all the French soldiers who are buried beneath the walls of that city, it will be necessary to dis inter 48,000 bodies. It is said that ex-Governor Wise chafes a good deal and even foams at the month, because his house is used by old John Brown's daughter as a school house for teaching little niggers. ' When Jeff. Davis was captured he niay be said to have embodied all that remained of the once arrogant Southern Confederacy. He was the body-politic, and his wife's dress formed the outskirts. Two rebel rams and thirteen steamers have been cartui-d in the Tombigbee river, Alabama. They were taken there after the evacuation of Mobile. Jeff. Davis was captured disguised as a woman ! Jeff, was never a very good look ing man, but it appears his wife's dress made him captivating. We have heard a great deal about "petti coat government," b'lt not until Jeff. Davis was heard from recently did we appreciate what it meant Maj. Gen. Terry has been rewarded with the honor of a brigadiership in the regular army, being the only volunteer thus distin guished. ' The rebel General Lee a id his family are now living in Richmond on government ra tions, regularly served out to them. "Once more into the breeches, my boys VJ as Jeff, said when requested to take off his wife's dress and put on his own. . NEW PEE BILL.

The Hartford Courant tells a story of farmer near that place, who lost his wife a bout seven weeks since, and was left with six children to provide for. He washed, dressed and fed them and attended to their wants seven weeks, when he concluded that it was too much work for one man, and start ed to the city to find a housekeeper. ; After a long and unsuccessful search he was refer red to a young woman who would be suita ble for the place. She was called on, and after hearing the farmers statement, replied that she had no objection to do the house work of his establishment, or attend and here she hesitated slightly provided she went as his iclfe ! The reply was a poser, but the remembrance of six faces to wash, six heads to comb and pants and petticoats for six to mend, settled the matter. A Justice was called in, and the farmer went horn with his '.'housekeeper." Tue Irish Exodcs to this Cottntbt. -A Cork paper says that emigration has com menced again more actively than was ex-, pected. The Erin, of the National Line, took away 850 persons from Quccnstcwn on the 26th ; the Inman steamer 450 on the 27, and over 300 could not be accommodated, were left behind. The Inman steamers ara fully engaged up to the middle of May, ev ery berth having been taken a week ago. A correspondent in the county of Kerry states that the emigration from Ireland this year is likely to exceed that of any past year since the famine. The persons leaving the coun try are all young and able-bodied, and com fortably clad. - The Easiest Way to Pull STUMT3.-r-Mr. Carpenter, in reply to an inquiry, said that he had tried several plans for getting rid of stumps and the one he found the cheapest and most satisfactory is to let the tree pull its own stump at the time it is fel led. Instead of chopping off the tree above the surface, the ground is dug away, and two or three of the principal roots are cut off at sufficient depth to escape the plow; then the first moderate wind blows the tree over, stump and all. I think the expense is no greater than that of chopping the tree in the usual way, and I get an increase yield of wood. Rebel Diabolism. Wm. P. Ripley, Esq., of Rutland, Vt, has in his possession an ingeniously contrived torpedo, made to exactly resemble a large lump of coal. This was the artful contrivance employed with so much success by the ' rebels in blowing up our transport on the Mississippi, and it is suspected that the awful disaster to the Sul tana was accomplished by one of these dia bolical things. The one in possession of ' Mr. Ripley was sent to him from Richmond by his son. Brevet Brigadier General E. H, Ripley, and was found in the private cabi net of Jefferson Davis after his flight from the city. ' ' : A drunken soldier, in the army in India having been lately confined in the blackhole for intoxication, felt something crawling o ver him. Knowing it to be a serpent, and fearing its deadly bite, kept quite 6till, while the reptile crawled inside of his jacket and coiled himself up for a nap. When the guard came to release him some hours after, a snake a cobra quickly glided away.
