The next morning they met a darkey, who informed them that scouts were constantly up and down the road, hunting after two Yankee Generals who had escaped from Richmond. The travellers thereupon took an easterly course towards Jenkins's farm, where the rebels quartered last winter, and sought refuge in a deserted negro but where they remained until within two hours of dawn the next morning, chilled to the bone with cold and dampness, when they started again, and arrived at widow Bradford's house, where a negress, engaged in splitting wood, on seeing their approach, hurriedly came towards them, saying.--"I spec you is the ossifies what ran away from Richmond," and begged them to go to a place she indicated in the woods an

The narrative of their mode of escape, besides being interesting as an adventure, may serve the more important purpose of putting our people on the Peninsula on their guard against similar impostors. A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from Fortress Monroe, thus describes their escape: The start from jail was decided on by these two daring officers to happen about dusk. Accordingly, at half-past 5 o'clock P. M., on the 24th ult., Major Houstain ordered his companion to follow him on a pretended round, having provided him first with two large glass bottles and the provisions for their journey under his arm. Leaving the officers' quarters, the two passed through the hospital of the enlisted men, stopped at the head of the stairs, and posted a faithful man at the window to give the alarm in case of an approach from outside. Finding the way clear, the two Union officers donned their disguise, and walked boldly p

came to Burnt Ordinary, only two miles distant from the Union pickets. On Tuesday morning, at three o'clock, fatigued and completely worn out, they approached the Union pickets, and, being challenged, the Major asked whether he was a Union man or rebel, when the sentinel replied the former.--The picket, on asking "Who goes there?" received in reply, "Two Union officers, escaped from Libby, Major Houstain, of the One Hundred and Thirty-second New York Volunteers, and Lieut. Von Weitzien, of Scott's Nine Hundred cavalry. " The picket informed them that he belonged to the First New York Mounted Rifles, Colonel B. F. Onderdonk. He detained the fugitives until four o'clock, when the relief came up, and the two officers were escorted to the guard-house.
