Escaped from prison.

--The following soldiers, charged with desertion and confined in the military prison, escaped on the 14th inst., by a "hole in the wall," which they made themselves, viz: Robert Burch, John Wrenn, M. J. Lannan, John Brismo, J. C. Haynes, and Wm. Clarke. On Tuesday night, Tim O'Brion, charged with forging checks to defraud the Government Treasury, and a Captain Buttrick or Butterworth, charged with forging soldiers' pay claims, who were confined in the jail of Henrico county, escaped by making an incision in the walls of that edifice. A guard was stationed around the building at the time, but it appears did not make any discovery till after the prisoners had gotten out.
