A dispatch to a .Philadelphia paper givfca ; tho annexed account of the escape ol' John 1 j Morgan, nnd six Confederate officers from I the-Ohio Penitentiary ; Tin? six rt bul otlk-ers who escaped from 1 the penitentiary at Columbus, with John Morgan, were Captain* Bennett, ??clduu, Hines, Hookersmith and Magee.. John Morgan, on retirinp', arranged with hi* brother Dick to exchange cells, from tue lop one to tuc lower oue on the lir>t fluor. The lower cell is two and a half inches thick, in whieh n hole was cut, running to the main wall around the penitentiary. This wall was cut under, aud the party es caped v to the opeu country. The night was dark, and a heavy ruin Wu? lulling at the time. Tnat their escape WHS connived at by *yra putbizers lhere is little doubt. 'J he manner of encape was ingenious, but at 1er all it wa* ?imple euough when baaed upou ihe alinostccriuin theory thattuey w rc correctly infirmed as to ihe ground they had to Work through. liv parent li.ix.r for nearly fuur weeks, witti amati pocket knives, they dug through the door o? their celia, composed cf ?bout one foot of stone and brick, down into a lour foot sewer. ' . Two. weeks ago one of the escaped priso nert asked the guard tor a tew boards to cover the bottom ot thc ceils, giviug as an excuse that ihe-danip stone was injurious to iheir health. The unsuspicious guard granted their request. The boarua were used io cover up ihe boles they were cutting. On the night ot their escape, on retiring to their several cell-, Dick Morgan mtnagud to change with bia brother John from the upper to the lower tier. Anet jotting into tile sewer, they crawled to- thc heavy grating and niaaonry nt ils mouth but lound ihey could nol escape by that route. They, however, made u bole upward to a beayy pile of coal, whiHi rolled in on them lo ouch un extent that liiey vyer^ forced to go lurtber back into the yard. They iticn ex cavated the soft earth cLar under tho niaiu wall, and so coi ruell y was the-distance caleu lated thai liioy caaiS~out into the open road one foot from iLc foundation. c Une of tue party, Captain Hines, was by ciade a brick-m^soii, and seems to have bad the management of be whole sli'iir.
