EJSCAPE FROM JAIL.—On Monday ni.-dit. the 11th inst., Peter Pockaleer, alias 1 ■ French Doctor," and Obadiah Hilliard, broke Jail. Some lover of justice and law was* kind enough to furnish them with a bar of iron, or piece of .sled pole, with which they pried thedonr open, and thus niade their escape. We have been in formed that six and a fourth cents reward will be given for the apprehension and safe return of the Poctor, , Hoys Out A flop Xighl. We have been observers, as well a sympathizing lovers of boys. We like to see them happy, cheerful, glewome. In deed we can .hardly understand how ji high-toned u eful man can be the ripened fruit of a boy, had he not enjoyed a full share of the glad privileges duo to youth. Bat while wo watch with a very jealous eye all the rights and customs which en trench upon the proper rights of boys, we are equally apprehensive, let parents who arc not forethoughtful, and who have not habituated themselves to close observation upon this subject, permit their sons in dulgences which are almost certain to re sult in their demobilization, if not their total ruin ; and among the habits which we have observed as tending most surely to ruin, we know of none more prominent than that of parents permitting their sons, (and in some cases tlier daughters.) to b< ■in the streets after night. It is ruinous to their morals in all in stances. They acquire, under the cover ; of the night, an unhcalthful state of mind j —bad. vulgar, immoral, and profane lan- | guago, obscene practices, criminal senti ments, a lawless and riotous bearing. In deed, it is in the street after night-fall. | that the boys principally acquire the cd- | ncation of the bad, and capacity for be- ( coming rowdy, dissolute, criminal men.— j Piircnts should, in ibis particular, have a rigid and inflexible rule, that will not | permit a son, much less a daughter, un- j dcr Rny circumstances whatever, t igo in- ; to the streets after night-fall with a view ( of engaging in out-of-door sports, or meet i other bovs for social chance occupation. — \ right rule of this kind, invariably ad hered to, will soon deaden the desire for | such dangerous practises. Hoys should be taught to have pleasure i aroun 1 the family centre table, in read ing, in conversation, and in quiet amuse- | mcnts. Boys arc Been in the streets nf- j tcr night-fall, behaving in a manner en- . tirely destructive of good morals. Filth- \ ers and mothers, you should see to it. that I your children are kept at home at night; I it is a duty y >u owe to them, and to the community. You should take pains to . make your home pleasant, atyoctivc. and profitable to them ; and above all. with n view of securing from future destruction. \ let them not become, while forming their characters for life, so accustomed to dis- i regard the moral sense of shame as to i openly violate the Sabbath tin;/ in street | pastimes during its day or evening hours. I The wise man has said : " Train up a i child in the way ho sliou d go, and when | he is old, he will not depart from it."— Solomon was right ; and parents and guardians should follow his advice. You 1 need not try to 11 s hir/c" your duty and J responsibility. We often hear it said: that •• boys, are boys, and thyp must have their sports." This language is often j made use of by parents for the purpose of ■covering their neglect of duty towards their children. Fathers and mothers, do y>u desire that your children shall bo (i blessing to you, and a benefit to society '' \ If so, do your duty; keep them off the streets at night. There are some larr/< b tys in our town, who ought to be asham- I ed of themselves; their conduct is dis-j graceful; they can often be found block ing up the side walks, and lounging on the corners; whooping and yelling in the streets at a late hour of the night, thus unnecessarily disturbing the quiet eiti-{ zens of the place with their hideous night j revclings. It would be much more cred- J itable to those young and would be, great I uien. if thoy were at home, and engaged \ fti reading some good book or newspaper. ' and thus Btorc their minds with useful knowledge, and prepare to act well their j part as citizens of the community in which I they now, and may hereafter reside. We have thrown out the above suggestions ' -.ma hints, for the good of all whom they may concern, and it is to be hoped that ■we will not be under the necessity of re 'tierring to this subject again ; if we should 'be. the guilty will bo brought to light, and the public informed of their true charac ter. Jfeaj™ A good story is told of a member of the 38d Indiana. His Colonel, ob serving him one morning wending his way to camp with a tine rebel rooster in his arms, halted him to know if he had beea stealing chickens. "No, Colonel was the reply, " I just saw this odd fellow sitting on a (juice, and I ordered him to oroy for the Union, and he wouldn't do it, so I confis cated him for a rebel." « < O.HWVXIC ATIOXS. For the Cititten, I MESSRS. EDITORS: —As Congress has 1 extended the time for paying the? 402, and 8302, bounties to volunteers; and in -1 asniucli as other counties, and some of the . township in our county, arc paying local : bounty, thereby filling their quot*; I would earnestly requst sub-districts, not . ! having done so, to immediately call meet ings; council together, and sec what can be done towards securing their quota of ; volunteers; thereby avoiding the impending ' draft. The following is a late order from the Provost Marshal General: " Recruits will 'be credited to the lo calities from which they receive local bounties, provided the Muster-in Rolls ; ; show them enlisted and mustered in as of said locality. The Muster-in Roll must show the facts of the case, and will be the I evidence." ! '■ Veterans in service re-enlisting will be credited to the localities to which the i re-enlistment and mu.4cr-in rolls show j tliem as belonging; therefore, until vete rans have been re-mustered, it cannot be determined to what particular locality they will bo credited." The evident intention of the above or der is, that the rce*it [whether a vete ran in service, or a new recruit] may have j the benefit of choosing what locality he may wish to be credited to. Ilence, a sub-district not paying local bounty, may fail to avoid the draft; at the same time, , more than sufficient to fill its quota may volunteer from such sub-district. " A word to tlnj wise, &c." HENRY PILLOW, Rec. Ag't. Prospect, Jan. 20, January the Ist, 1564, will long be re membered by the citizens of Evansburg, for two reasons : First, as being one of the ! coldest days for many years; and second, as being the day on which the " Deer" was " shot off." About 11 o'clock, a. m., a buirgv was seen coming down the hill, and a shout was raised that 11 they were j coming." A rush was made for the street as the carriage drove up, anl to the unini j tiatcd " they" were found to be the notable | marksmen of tho bf»ft>u_di of Butler, Abra- j . ham, John and George M'Candless, ac- j companies! by tho ever cheerful and gen-! tlemanly Charley Puffy, famous as the , Captain of tho " Dan Jioons," in tho; match hunt 011 thanksgiving day, or I be- I licve the day before. The wind, which , was blowing from the west, had been in ' their faces all the way from Butler, and of course they needed " thawing out," be fore any shooting could be done. How ever. the match was raised—eighteen dol lars. and the money paid, the owner re ' serving two chances, which was equal to j twenty dollars for the Peer. • Soon after dinner, an effort was made to commence the shooting, but the day was so cold that men could not be induced to leave the fire; and it was near two o'clock, before i the sliootingcomnienced. The first match I that was " shot off." was for a rifle gun. put up at 814. which was won by George M'Candle's. making obout 11 inches of a string in the three shots. Then c.une the contest for the Peer, and after shooting and warming, and warming and shooting, jit finally became too dark to see to shoot. ! and the remainder of the chances were postponed till Saturday morning. F. K., j Belles, having the shortest string as far as :it had gone. Tho night was spent in a happy old fashioned new year's style.— ! : The best of good feeling was manifested I by all the contestants, and much specula tion as to whether Belles could be beaten in the morning. But the night wore away, as nights will, and morning came, and ; along with it a cold and piercing wind, which disappointed those who had yet to shoot, for they hoped for warmer weather; ; but the shooting commenced, and was soon ended by the judges declaring that Belles had not been beaten ; ho was the winner with near 8 inches of string. The marksmen were all anxious to try it again. ; j and a new match was soon made, and the shooting commenced, which was decided after the shootiug was done, by the judg | es, to be George M'Candlesscs' Peer, he having shot three balls in the paper — string 4} inches. The marksmen all parted with the best of feeling toward j ■ each other, and a more " 7 ay and happy" ' set of fellows arc seldom seen, i Whilst the Peer shooting was going on. a great many Turkies changed hands, and , I have no doubt those who were not en gaged in the match for the Peer, enjoyed ; ; themselves quite as well as those who i were, and some of them think that the/)w , was really dear. On the whole, the af- ( fair passed off pleasantly, and I only ex- j ; press the feelings of our citizens, when 1 I say that the marksmen from tho borough, j i were very clever, gentlemanly men, and Charley, is spoken of as a ••bully fellow," j which 110 is in its widest sense. Long may they live to enjoy the pleasures of life, is the wish of a FRIEND. JOHN AND JULIA.— •John!" quoth the gentle Julia to her sleepy lord one rain morning, at a late hour, "I wish you'd take pattern by the thermometer !" " As how ?" murmured her worser half, sleepily opening his optics. " Why—by rising." •• H'm—l wish you'd imitate the other tizamagig that hangs up by it—the barom eter V - Why so?" <: Cause then you'd let me know when a storm's aconiing. ♦ Significant of Rebel Rule. The Richmond Knqrtirer, of the 15th inst.., contains an invective—voluble and full of reiteration —against a bill intro duced into the Bcbol Senate itself. The measure and the editorial are of morethan passing significance. The bill promises "to make the term of Cabinet officers expire with each Congress, and to require nomin ations to be made with e\*rv Congress.— The object and end Iff this bill is to give to the senate the power of supervision ihe Kxeeufivc andcompeling the subservience of the President to the will and wishes of \ the Senate. j Jeff. Davis'organ fears that hostility to | the present Cabinet is leading the Senate into the adoption of a law that must prove \ destructive of a fundamental principle of ! the Confederate Government, viz : the in dependence of its Co-ordinate branches— the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judiciary. If this law passes, it continues, all in ! dcpencence of the Executive is gone ; he I becomes the mere creature of the Senate ; that body of twenty- four members becomes the Government, any thirteen of whom may dictate their creatures to the Presi dent—impose their policy upon the Gov ernment, and execute their will through the Cabinet." It pictures the Executive subordinated, the power of the House of Beprcsentaffvc ; undermined, a present obnoxious Cabinet giving place to one dictated by the Sen ate, that Cabinet becoming '• the merest puppet of the Senate, set up to spy upon | the President, to thwart his views, and to execute the orders of its real master. It I foreshadows the Government of an oligar chy of Senators and a Council of Ten" "a revolution in tlifi midst of the present war." Such is the gist and purport of the En . qu.rer's article ; it forcibly betrays what ! no'ridicule of Senator Foote can obscure, that tlrere are discontent and irritation in Rebel States, and that this bad feeling is | taking shape. When aimies lose conS | dcncc in their Generals, discontent at con | tinuod ill success points by the press to those in power, tirade appears in the Senate, a"nd • plans for changing parts of (he Govern - I ment are mooted, the friends of Jeff.

At date of the 23th. correspondence of ; the St. Louis Democrat in luring us of a > i meeting-privately gotten up by quasi Un- , . inn men and rebels, but completely revo ! lutionize 1 intoa radical Union meeting by ! the loyal citizens. | The prime movers of the meeting had i previously sent off to I'inc Bluff for Mr. [ A. C. Rogers,"whom they had supposed was a Copperhead, inasmuch as he was a j large slaveholder. He came—he spoke. 1 j and (how the ladies squirmed under it) j jhe was radical. Pretty soon after he be-1 1 t!:m, and just as therebsand Copperheads •I had squared thenische. to enjoy the rich j (east they thought they had prepared for I themselves: "llark! ain't that man an Abolitionist!" The broad grin changes i into the stare of amazement. Then the j J contemptuous sneer; then, the red blush j j of anger—the ladies begin to twist and i grumble, "I won't stay here! ''Take me I | out!'' ' I'm mad enough t« fight!" "The j dirty Abolitionist'" Hut their more po- | ! litie husbands, who had invited flic speak- I j er, remonstrated against their going out, J ! and by wav of consoling them, they told ( ! them to '• Wait till Fishback gets up— I they will call him out. then all of you leave I i and show him contempt." Mr. Fishback got up and addressed himself to the reason of his hearers, ask- ! ! ing : Shall the non-slaveholder come to | ! the term.; of the slaveholder after all the j | concessions he has made, or shall the thing , be reversed !" He then read a number of j ' resolutions, (rebels not voting). Among , them were the following: * 1 Yhcreas. The insurgents possessed four ! 4 millions of slaves, which they relied upon to furnish subsistence and materials of war; , therefore, A' nhrti. That the President of the I'nited States being Commander-in-chief of her armies, and the executive officer of the nation was justijirrl in issuing a proc- ' j it /nation of emancipation by which those ; slaves were made free, and will be sustain ed by every loyal citizen, it being a meas ure made necessary by the of, tho times. Whereat. By the issuing of such proc lamation the President made the Govern ment a party to a contract with those freed men ; therefore. . !(■ wived, That the Government, to sus tain its dignity and honor as an enlighten ed Christian nation, must redeem itspledg ' es to those freed men. for all time to come, j by force of arms if need be. Whereas, The Government, struggling to maintain its existence, in the legitimate exercise of its powers to accomplish that end, has abolished slavery in tho State of Arkansas, and Whereas, Wo believe that its re-establishment under existingcircum ! stances, would be prcjudical to the best interests of a majority of the citizens of this State; Resolved, That the State Government he resumed under a Constitution forever i precluding its re-fstabli-ihment. The vote in favor of there resolutions j was uproarous and overwhelming. About two thousand people were present. J Go TO. —• Young man, do you believe in a future state?' . .
