A Bold proceeding

--On the 11th inst., some twelve or fifteen armed soldiers, said to belong to the 8th and 11th Texas cavalry regiment, went to the (Ga.) jail, about 8 o'clock at night, for the purpose of releasing Hill, of the 11th Texas, who was charged with the murder of George Montgomery, and Rowark, charged with stealing a horse from Mrs Aycock. Six of these ruffians went into the house, and about as many more stood guard in the street. Those in the house drew their pistols on Mr. Kerr, the jailor, and Wm. B. Jones, who was staying with him that night, and threatened that if either made any attempt to leave or create an alarm he would be instantly shot. Two of the scamps then took the keys to the jail room, went and released their friends, carried them out and put them on horses, while the others guarded Messrs Kerr and Jones--then all left and have not since been heard of.
