mmanding officers, used scathing language and debate ran high throughout the session. So far as I am able to judge, both the opposing parties are led on by bitter prejudices. The Joint Military Committee, with two or three exceptions, have pertinaciously clung to the idea that a standing army of paid volunteers, to be raised at once, to have the power of choosing their officers, up to captain, and to require all above to be appointed by the Governor, is the organization for the times. Mr. Cunningham, of the House, who is put forward by the Committee to take all the responsibility of extreme sentiments, has openly avowed his hatred of Democracy in the camp. He considered the common soldier as incapable of an elective choice. He and others of his party wage a bitter war against Democracy, and indicate an utter want of faith in the ability of the people to make proper choice in elections. The party opposed to this, the predominant party, is ostensibly lead in the House by Mr. Mc

Escape from jail. --The officers at the city jail discovered yesterday morning that three of their prisoners had made their escape during the night and fled to parts unknown. Their names are William Martin, John Lipscomb alias Jack Shepherd, and Pat, Cunningham — all known by the police, and somewhat notorious in the community at large. The first was awaiting trial for breaking into Porter, Harris & Horner's store; the second for breaking into C. P. Word & Bro.'s, and the third for some misdemeanor of less importance. It appears that they dug a hole through the wall of their cell and climbed upon the roof of the work-house building from whence, by means of ropes made of their bed-clothing, they let themselves down into the corporation lot.--The hole was worked through the wall with iron bars taken from the door of the cell; but how they managed to remove these bars from their places, we have no means of ascertaining. It was, altogether, quite an adroit exploit.

icles of luxury, taste and refinement, and upon a mahogany centre-table lay a Bible and a lady's portrait. The last two articles I took, and have them now in my possession. I also took a decanter of most excellent old brandy from the sideboard, and left the burning house. The last number of the Winchester Virginian contains the following: When Lincoln's thieves crossed the Potomac river, at Williamsport, they visited the house of a wealthy gentleman, of Berkeley county, named Cunningham, who, with his family, (except a large number of negroes,) left the premises. The rogues ransacked the house from top to bottom, taking everything that suited their fancy. In the eating line, they went so far as to take old hen turkeys off their nests (poor as Job's) and cooked the eggs which had been set on for weeks. A large tub of sour milk, in which the ladies had been soaking petticoats, for whitening purposes, the starved puppies drank up as voraciously as ever famished hounds lap

Col. Gilham's Regiment. --The requisite number of companies to form this regiment are in camp and embodied under the proper head. Col. Gilham is an excellent tactician, and the State and the Confederacy of whom his regiment are the representatives may expect to have a good account of it. His regiment is composed of the the following companies:--Company "F.," commanded by Captain Cunningham; Buckingham Leaches, by Captain Leach; Turkey-Cock Greys, by Captain Witcher; Cumberland Greys, by Captain John Booker; Red House Volunteers, by Capt. Mosely; Meherrin Greys, by Capt. Burkley; Capt. Mustelua's company, a company from Baltimore, with two more good companies, all well armed. The Cumberland Grays and Turkey-Cock Greys are armed with the best rifles, and are strong, active men, and will do good service.

ed the rebels scattered, and were pursued in small squads, with great success. The two places of artillery, under Lieut. Dawson, did excellent service in cleaning them of the thickets. The pursuit continued until late on Saturday afternoon, when Col. Morgan called his men together, and with the wounded and prisoners, marched back to Laclede. Two of his men were mortally wounded, and are probably dead at this writing. The wounded, fourteen in number, were hauled back to Laclede by Mr. Cunningham, the Assistant Surgeon, and placed in a house. The loss of the enemy was fourteen killed and eight taken prisoners. A number of horses and camp equipage was also captured. The old man who decoyed Col. Morgan into the ambush, as soon as he saw the rebels running, attempted to make his escape, but was shot dead by one of the cavalry, named Jas. Raritan. Strange to relate, Mr. Baritan was accidentally shot and killed the following day, at Laclede, as he was attempting to mount hi
