stion was to secure a passport out of the city, the picket guards having been recently removed nearer the city lines and enjoined to keener vigilance. It was, of course, out of the question for me to obtain a passport in my own person. It might, indeed, and probably would have been granted to me, as I had just received a general passport to travel Southwards in the Confederacy, but in receiving it I should have been required to subscribe an obligation of "suit and service" to the Confederate States, which I wished to avoid. My companion, who considered himself to have been treated by the Confederates as pirates treat the captive sailors to whom they offer the option of a berth in the forecastle or a dance from the yard-arm, was less punctilious upon this head, and going directly to the Provost Marshal's office, obtained, without much difficulty, a pass permitting him to travel in Hanover county. A stroke of the pen extended this permission to his "brother," and all was now rea

Interesting Narrative of the Escape of Hurlbut from Richmond. We have published some of the letters to the New York Times of Wm. Henry Hurlbut, who escaped from this city. His last letter recounts the mode of his departure, which was aided and participated in by a native of Troy, N. Y., who had been detailed from the Confederate army for special service in Richmond, and so "won upon the regard of his officers" that he got an honorable discharge from the service. Having made up his mind to leave, Hurlbut sent for his friend. He says: His position made it easy for him to obtain all the information which we needed, and representing that it was his intention to visit Baltimore for the purpose of buying goods, he succeeded, after the exercise of a little tact and the administration of strong liquors in proper quantities, in extracting from one of the Maryland managers of the "under ground line" a systematic account of the points to be made in passing from Richmond to the Pot

A stroke of the pen extended this permission to his "brother," and all was now ready, save the means of transportation. I then sent my servant to find for me a buggy and horse suitable for country riding, as I intended to visit the banly weapon was a large sword, which could hardly have interfered with the prosecution of our journey, had he been dissatisfied with our passport. But this was not the case. He returned it to us with the remark, that as the "enemy wasn't in Hanover county, we might go ahead; for you know," he added, in a confidential manner, "when a country's invaded, we can't let people go riding about in it" Casually missing our way in a small wood which we found occupied by a cavalry camp, we came upon a se

t's lodging, an excellent supper and breakfast, a good horse and wagon, and an intelligent negro guide. We left his house at 3 A. M. on Saturday, and rode from the fading moonlight into the rosy dawn through a grand and silent forest of pines, in which we passed, without disturbing their repose, three Confederate cavalrymen, asleep beside their drowsy and picketed horses. Dashing through a deep ford of the Mattaponi we turned the last Confederate pickets a short distance to the east of Bowling Green, baited our steed at a "town" of some half a dozen houses, known as Lloyd, and crossed the river Rappahannock at three o'clock of the afternoon in a wherry. That the ferry at this point was a regular business like affair was evident enough, Before we reached it we met on the road several carriage loads of travellers, and two teams drawing heavy wagon loads of supplies, boxes of tea and dry goods just "over" from Maryland. In Westmoreland county, where our Rappahannock ferrymen put

We lay upon the cliffs, watching the sails upon the river, and the far gleam of the National flag as it waved in the light breeze upon the passing vessels, and the distant Maryland short. With the nightfall, we resumed our attempt to cross; and, after an exciting row of nearly three hours, the sea running quite high, slipped past the blockading line of National vessels, plainly discernible to the number of six at different points along the Maryland shore, and drew in under the shadow of Swan's Point. From this point the boatmen rowed us through devious waterways, known to themselves better than, I fear, they are to our blockading vessels, into the Wicomico river — upon the banks of which they landed us, forty-eight miles from Washington, on the morning of Monday, August 18--From this point to within ten miles of the Capital we made our way on foot, the thoroughly Southern temper of the country being sufficiently manifest in the fact that, while we met numbers of vehicles tending tow

e miles from the Junction, and taking us for residents of the county, asked our pilotage to his point of destination. As we had made up our minds to follow the telegraph lines we readily offered to show him the way, and carried him safely in. The Junction was swarming with troops and country people, and it is not improbable that the company of our Lieutenant may have saved us from some disagreeable inquiries. At Hanover Junction we were to find a farmer who would ferry us over the North Anna river. A small boy puts us upon the road to this farmer's house, and the farmer himself not only put us across the river in a deep batteau, but upon our requesting him to take charge of our horse and buggy "until we should return from Baltimore," volunteered an introduction of another farmer, who would see us safely over the ford of the Mattaponi and set us on our way to the river Rappahannock. This second farmer, in consideration of a sum to him in hand paid, furnished us with a comfor

oad several carriage loads of travellers, and two teams drawing heavy wagon loads of supplies, boxes of tea and dry goods just "over" from Maryland. In Westmoreland county, where our Rappahannock ferrymen put us ashore, we met a large party of Marylanders, fresh from Baltimore. There were some fifteen or twenty of them, and greeting us as Baltimoreans, they were urgent in their representations of the perils we should incur in attempting to reach the Monumental City. Westmoreland county, they told us, was then full of Marylanders, flying from the draft to come. A camp of three hundred, they said, was established in the heart of the county, a few miles d for us from the point at which we had left it on the North Anna, offering us in re- turn the valuable information that at Oak Grove, on the Potomac shore of Westmoreland, we should find the boat with two boatmen which brought him over from Maryland, and which might probably be made available for taking us the other way, since w

A negro with a fine pair of horses and a handsome New York built barouche was in waiting in the woods, just above the landing, and a drive of ten miles brought us to the small village of Oak Grove. Here in the cove of a small creek we found our boat, and after a short parley the boatmen agreed to land us in Maryland. They would not leave the creek till after dark, for fear of the "tugs." which they seemed to hold in a very wholesome respect; and when we finally started,
