But they soon saw that their time for escape had not yet come. All around the Navy-Yard were stationed sentinels, whom it would be impossible to pass. They therefore resolved to return to the steamer and await yet longer. They now concealed themselves in the private apartment of the boat, and remained thus for two days, when finally, as if providentially, in one of her trips the steamer ran afoul of a schooner in the river, and was reported so much damaged as to cause her to make for Jersey City with all possible speed Great excitement was produced among her passengers, and everything and everybody were in the utmost confusion. A most favorable opportunity now for the prisoners to escape, and they took advantage of it. They left their hiding place again, and as soon as the Jersey City landing was reached, they rushed ashore. They then took passage on a ferry boat for New York. In this great city they found a friend, who took them in and kindly cared for them. He advised w

ch as you used to place around our firesides, and on our toilette tables, shall be showered upon you. Yours, with sacred memories, Chas. O. Butterwell&Co. Fort Myer. The fort on Pensacola harbor generally spelled "McRae" is properly "McRee." It is a casemate fortification with two tiers of guns in casemate and one tier en barbette, that is to say, on the ramparts. It is built to mount 150 guns, and is distant from Fort Pickens, built for 210 guns, about a mile and a quarter. Therer en barbette, that is to say, on the ramparts. It is built to mount 150 guns, and is distant from Fort Pickens, built for 210 guns, about a mile and a quarter. There is a water battery in advance of Fort McRee mounting ten heavy guns. A Stinging Company. A Memphis paper, announcing the arrival of a company of volunteers from Plaquemine, Louisiana, says: "All the officers had sword belts made of rattlesnake skins, while the privates wore a rattlesnake rattle in their caps."

n this great city they found a friend, who took them in and kindly cared for them. He advised what they should do, and furnished them with money to complete their plans. They took passage to Baltimore as Union sailors-- anti Southern Seceders of the deepest dye. In the noble Monumental City they had not far to go before meeting with friends of the South and her defenders. Clothes are given to them, and they are aided in getting employment on a wood schooner bound for some point on the lower Maryland shore. For sixteen days they worked like heavers, and by their unusual industrious habits and good behavior they gained the unbounded confidence of the Captain. His every wish was law, and every act was done with pleasure; but the proud Captain was soon to be deprived of his prides. It was the night for Parvin to keep watch, and the Captain had retired, and Willis had pretended to do so. But hands were busy as eyes. Sails for the small boat attached to the schooner were made and

His deportment was not that of a gentleman while in the Hospital. His insulting language to several ladies caused his dismissal from that institution on Thursday. Last evening he came to this office and caused a paragraph to be published to the effect that all persons desiring to forward letters to the United States could do so by leaving them at this office, and he would take them to Louisville and mail them. Now, we have made inquiry about "Schenck alias Skunk," and are satisfied he is an imposter. He is a New England Yankee, with all the impudence of a patent medicine vender. How he came here we have act Louis, and that he formerly published a "religious journal" there. Startling development — an abolition Clue in the City.

Here they were kept in close confinement until the latter part of October, when they were all put aboard a steamer and taken to Fort Warren, near Boston. On their way to Fort Warren, Parvin and Willis formed some plan of escape, and announced their intention to attempt it to Captain Sparrow, who told them they must do it at their risk.

If they failed, heavy irons and close confinement for the balance of the war would be their lot. But they possessed brave hearts and were confident of success. They supplied themselves with bread and water, a candle, matches, &c. On their arrival at Boston, the men were marched ashore in companies, as their names were called. Immediately before the name of the Washington Grays was called, Parvin and Willis left their company, descended from the deck, and found their way into the extra coal room of the steamer. Here they concealed

we have act Louis, and that he formerly published a "religious journal" there. Startling development — an abolition Clue in the City. From the New Orleans Crescent, of the 22d inst., we take the following: Yesterday morning, Lieut. Morel, of the Third District Police, upon information received, arrested a German named Frenzel, who lives on Charles street, in the Second District, charging him with being an incendiary and traitor to the State and Southern Confederacy. It appears that Frenzel, who is quite an intelligent man, had excited Lieut. Morel's suspicious some time since by remarks that he was reported to have made in favor of Lincoln and his dynasty; he was watched, the result of which was that he was heard to boast that there was a powerful organization in this city — at least 5,000 strong — which, the moment that the Lincoln army made its appearance here, or on our coast, would rise and help them to the best of their ability. He further is reported to h<

nd romantic tale, reader? But it is nevertheless true, and puts fiction to the blush. A suspicious character. From the Memphis Argus, of the 26d November, we extract the following: For several days past a man calling himself John H. Schenck, M. D., has been very officious at the Overton Hospital in dressing the wounds of the inmates there. He assumed and presumed so much that, to one who did not know, he would have appeared to be the chief surgeon. His deportment was not that caused a paragraph to be published to the effect that all persons desiring to forward letters to the United States could do so by leaving them at this office, and he would take them to Louisville and mail them.
