Franklin.' t Major General Franklin has arrived in! Baltimore. The following is; p brief account of his ^ capture and escape: He was seated in the car, at the time of hia capture, alongside of a wounded Lieutenant Colonel, when a rebel officer came in the train and addressing himself to the wouilded mau, said : "Are you Major General Franklin !" He replied thai, he was not, and gave him hisname and rank. j) Gen. Franklin was in citizens1 dress; but the rebel also put the question toliim, and frankly answered that such was his rrame and rank.? There was no doubt in his mind, from ihemanner of the, interrogator, that he had been pointed out by some of the passengers. The rebel; said : "General, T. "am happy to see you." The General replied ; "I cannot say that I am pleased to sec you, under the circumstances." About, ton ininntoo - n:t .? u....ui,va mikinaiua vjjnucr Ct^ITlG into tko car, and addressing himself to Major General Franklin, surd.:1 "General, you will consider yourself my. prisoner." lie-was then put" in a carriage, ahd-.witli other prisoners, driven through the cduntry, stopping awhile? at Townson tow u, ati{| tbeivq,croSs to the Reistown road, where they arrived1about .pne o'clock on Tuesday morning, and immediately bivouacked for the night. The GettMnl was put in : custody of Capt. Owens an^Pwo guards, who were charged with his sate keeping. Expressing himself as sick and weary, he immediately laid down and feigned sleep. Soon after the captiari and his guards . hud down, and he listened anxiously for indications of sleep on their part. He ,liad not to wait long befons he heard the guard nearest to him commence to breathe heavily, momentarily increasing in volume and profundity, yint.il it became sufficiently loud to wake an ordinary sleeper.- The,captain and his'fcther guard, had also iu the meantime commenced, -to breathe rather heavy, and the General continued, witlf i,:., . ....J > - m.-> uuitN open, aiso 10 feign sleep. lie laid in this lor some time, nrllil4 all three gave Unmistakable* signs of sleep.' Fearing that they were playing possum, he got up and walked carelessly around them, moved over to the fence, and still watched them. He then coughed loudly and, made considerable noise, thinkihg that they wanted an excuse to shoot at him, each man layir.g with the right band grasping the muzzles of their rilles. The indications of profound sleep'Mxnng so unmistakable on the part of all three of them, lie now thought that lie would, test the sincerity Of their slumbers by jumping the fence.? This he di ... - uour, wnen nc .entered a tumlc woods, and in his weakly state, being broken down by fatigue, Uc sought a place of concealment. A Monster Gun.?The Yankees have just . completed a monster tweilty inch anny gun, made at the Fort Pitt Works, near Pittsburg, Pcnn. The papers describing it say : Tne estimated weight of the gun is one hundred and fifteen thousand two hundred pounds, and in order to distribute the lmnieuse weight so that there would not be too much bearing At .any one point on the bridges that it will have to cross, a truok of peculiar .construction was necessary. This was done by building two vcrv strong trucks, each eight feet wide 1 in the cleat, and nineteen feet long; tliey ar6 coupled together in sdeh a manner as to leave one foot space between their lloors. A strong bridge is then built from oqc to the othert the bearing resting on the centre of each car and the ends turning on pivots, while the side pieces rest in cast iron slides. The truck was built at Altoona, and it is thought will answer all purposes for which it was designed. Yesterday evening it was loaded with a fiftoen inch gun, weighing forty-two thousand' pounds, which it will take to Wall station, proving ground, and then return for the twenty inch gun. Sheridan, with two brigades of cavalry, has left Grant's camp, lie was last heard of at Isle of W-ight. It is considered doubtful, ^whether he was going on a raid into North Carolina,or was about to cinbark at Portsmouth for Maryland. CAMDEN. DAILY JOURNAL.?

Smith, and telling him to go to the devil, that he did hot belong to his Ouvalrv and was fighting theYankees for revenge' For this reason, Gen. Smith issued an order declaring Quantrell an outlaw.
