Until a month ago he was Imprisoned in the debtor's room with another pris oner but by some means he was sup plied with a lile with which he sawed through the iron bars of the grating and soomcd to have everything ripe for an escape when his companion gave him away. Ho was then lodged in a dungeon but on Wednesday evening actually effected his escape. The iron bars were found sawed through after the manner of the previous occasion and ho seems to have slipped down stairs and through the outside door while the other prisoners were having supper distributed to thorn. It is supposed that he obtained a shave at a colored barber shop and from thonco proceeded to Clinton where by tho assistance of a negro named Sixon. ho took the north bound vostibulo disguised as a woman.
