Escaped from prison.
--On Thursday night, Thomas Haley and Edward Jamison, of the Eleventh United States infantry, confined in Castle Thunder for being drunk and in the city without passes, enlarged their area of freedom by escaping from that institution. J. J. Gillespie, a countryman, confined in the Castle on the charge of robbing soldiers, effected his escape at the same time. The authorities had made partial arrangements for vacating this prison on Tuesday last, but the matter has been delayed, and it now seems that the inmates are vacating it for themselves. The "Libby" is undergoing a process of improvement for the purpose of receiving the prisoners sent down from the Provost Court, and we trust it will be made more secure than the famous old Castle Thunder.
