EVENING STAR: LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. sona2We bave had tn oppettenity of ob- Moorns.—We an ity of ob- taining information, be: on this oceur- rence, of public interest. It is as follows: They were first confined in the second story of the jail, and, from the suspicions of the jailor that they might pitemet to escape, were trans ferred to the cell on the ground floor, nearest tothe guard room, deemed the safest in the building. Their counsel, families. and rela- tives were permitted, as usual with all priso- ners before trial, to have access to them—such of their visitors being searched, before they were permi' to in to them, as were judged likely, possibly, to convey to them means of aiding their escape. On the night of their escape, about half an hour be- fore the discovery of their flight, the ward in which they were confined was entered by the guard on duty, their cell door examined, and the prisoners were found all apparently asleep. The bars of the windows were all apparently in their usual condition of security, as well as all else throughout the ward. Mr David Reed, who resides near the point of the jail wall where they got over, seeing six men coming over the wall (four only havi escaped) immediately went over and icine’ the guard on duty of the fact, the latter being in the guard room with the jailor, who was engaged in making out the jail docket for the opening of the Criminal Court on the next morning. A search was instantly executed, and the cell previously occupied by the es- caped burglars and Moore found vacant ; its door ajar, and a bar of the window nearest that cell cut through and removed from its Position, so as barely to allow them room to get through. A knife made into a saw with @ small wooden handle, for sawing through iron, was found in the yard. The cut of the bar was at its junction with another bar, and had been concealed by the application of dampened bread aad as to make it re- semble iron. Near the main (high) wall inside was found a rope of bed-tick. Another rope, of bed cord was found fastened to an iron hook for clutching the wall, by which the prisoners bad clambered; which contrivance had been furnished no doubt by their confederates. The fact that Mr. Reid sawsix men on or near th: outside wall, shows that they had help from outside. On making the discovery of the es- cape, the city night watch, the Marshal and his deputies, and all other officers within reach were quickly notified, and a search in ail directions was instantly made, and every avenue from the city guarded. So far it has been impossible to verify any account of their Proceedings or whereabouts after leaving the jail wall. The Marshal has special deputies now searching in all directions for them—some of them fifty or sixty miles off—and has notified the police all over arta | of their escape, marks, appearance, &o , and offers an aggre- ate reward of $600forthem. The measures e has taken for their rearrest can hardly fail to secure the whole of them shortly; as in every previous instance of escape (three) from the jail of Washington since his induction in office, he has succeeded in securing the pris- oner again. We hear that some of our fellow-citizens have drawn from our late allusions to the es- cape of Washington Nailor and Essex in con- nection with our comments on the escape of these prisoners, the inference that they were in the custody of the Marshal’s subordinates ; which is erroneous. Neither of them ever reached the jail before getting off. We arg Satisfied that the Marshal is doing everything that energy, activity and mouey will accom- , ae to re arrest Ray, Croggin, Bailey, and core; and tbat he feels confident of success ere long. We do not intend to let this subject rest, until it become: impossible for a prisoner to eseape from the jail of this county as from the New York Toombs, from which escapes are more rare than from any other prison in any eity in the United States. The Marshal, we hear, has ordered the construction of a sentry house in the back (north) yard of the jail, from which a guard will at all times here- after have his eye on all the windows on that side of the building On the south side the presence of the guard in the existing guard room, makes an escape from it almost impos- sible. We learn from the Marshal that after thor- oughly investigating every fact connected with the escape of these prisoners he is convinced that with the means at his command for the safe keeping of prisoners here, his employees charged with that duty discharge it as faith- fully as mencando. We feel further red that such a conviction on his mind alone in- duces bim to retain them. We state these facts without meaning ourself to endorse Mar- shal Hoover’s opinion on this point. Taz Distcreance at THE Mass Mertine. Last night, the meeting at the City Hall to ratify the nomination of Buchanan and Breck- inridge, was disturbed by a gang of boys and men who were evidently prepared for it. When Hon T. B Florence was about to ad- dress the crowd, a rush was made by a large number towards the stand, crying “Sam! Sam! water! water :’’ and behaving in avery improper manner. The Mayor and Auxiliary Guards on duty there immediately arrested those who appeared to be most prominent and conveyed them to the guard house, contending all the time against persons who attempted to rescue the peisoner. TC. Donn, Esq , who was assisting the officers, was struck with a elubon the arm, Watchman Daw struck on the face with a atone, Watchman H. 8. Ward struck with a stone or slung-shot on the head and neck. The watchmen secured their pris- oners, and the injured ones will be fit for ser- vice this Saye 7 After the crowd about the guard house had dispersed and the meeting adjourned at the City Hall, Mayor Magruder ordered the release of the entire party. Grorce WitiiaMs, one of the three men from Richmond, supposed to be concerned in a recent murd that place, was arrested esterday by Officer Gill. He was taken be- iecsunies Hollingshead, who committed the others arrested by the Auxiliary Guard, and after a short hearing of the facts connected with his arrest Williams was also sent to jail for a hearing A complete description of Cline and Backland was sent to the mayor of Richmond yesterday, and it is probable the parties will all be held to await a requisition. Justice Orrutr yesterday had an examina- tion at the jail of the case of Tom Jones, who was arrested by Officer Kimball for stealing a watch. The evidence was not sufficient to justify a commitment, and thecase was dis- missed Ellen Fits, Howard Brooks and Sarah Brooks, fighting, security for peace ; Benjamin Kurtz and Babel Smith, charged with threats, were ordered to give security for peace by Justice Daniel Smith.

The foe of all geographical parties, it must continue to exist as long as there is a Constitution or Union to preserve. This conviction has in- duced many formerly differing from the De- mocracy to devote themee!ves to the Constitu- tion and the Union. ‘Under these circumstances I most cheer- fully pledge myself, should the nomination of the Convention be ratified by the people, that allthe power and influence constitutionally se: by the Executive shall be exerted ina firm and conciliatory spirit, during the single term which I shall remain in office, to restore the same harmony among the sister States which prevailed before the apple of discord, in the form of slavery agitation, had been cast into their midst.”’ Regarding foreign policy, he concurs with the committee that it should be conducted with wisdom and firmness to assure the pros- perity of the people at home, while the inter- ests and honor of the country are wisely and inflexibly maintained abroad. Foreign pol- icy ought ever to be based upon the principle of doing justice to all nations, requiring jus- tice in return If elected, he will use his best exertions to cultivate peace and friendship with all the nations, believing thts his highest policy and most imperative duty; but shall never forget, should necessity arise, that our national honor must be preserved at all hazards and at any sacrifice. Republican National Convention. Paivapersia, June 18.—After adopting a latform, a motion was made to proceed to an informal ballot, which gave rise t> an animated debate. Gen. Webb, of N. Y., opposed balloting at present. Ex-Gov. Kent, of Maine, followed on the same side. Mr. Purviance, of Ohio, after an earnest speech urging immediate action, moved as an amendment to strike out ‘informal’ and in- sert ‘‘ formal’’ ballot. Dr. Elder deprecated haste, and urged an open conference by the delegates of each State and Territory, so as to arrive at the feeling of the Convention Mr. Charles F. Adams, of Mass., urged an immediate ballot. Judge Spaulding, of Ohio, wished to consult with the friends of one candidate, and if time was granted would be able to harmonize the Convention. Mr. Root, of Ohio, wasin favor of voting, and not speaking. Ex-Gov. Ritner counselled delay. Mr. Patterson, of N. Y., after some remarks, withdrew Mr. Seward’s name; but at the same time said it was done at the request of the New York delegation, and if any after this thought proper to vote for him he would be glad to join them ke question on proceeding to ballot was then put and carried. Judge Spaulding then read a letter from Judge McLean withdrawing his name, provi- ded the vote of the Convention could be con- centrated on another. Mr. Mitchell, of Ohio, read a letter from Hon. Salmon P. Chase withdrawing his name. The speaker intimated the intention of the delegation to vote for Col. Fremont. Mr. Stevenson, of Pa , was allowed to speak, and urged time for consultation. He said if the present course were persisted in Pennsy!- Vania would be lost by fifty thousand vote: Mr. Moses H. Grinnell, of N. ¥., moved an adjournment till five o'clock; and, amid great confusion, the president put the question and decided the Convention adjournea. AFTERNOON SESSION, The Convention proceeded to ballot for a candidate for President. On the first ballot all the New England States went bodily for Fremont, except eleven votes for McLean. New York gave ninety- three votes for Fremont. The votes on the first ballot stood thus - Fremont 359, McLean 196, Banks 1, Seward 1, Sumner 2. The vote was then declared unani- mous, amid enthusiasm. The National Republican Committee sub- mitted a communication from the committce appointed by the Northern American Conven- tion, stating that, in pursuance of a resolation of that Convention, they had been instructed to confer with the Republicans, with a view of concerted action by both Conventions. Mr. Littlejohn, of Oswego, moved its refe:- ence to a committee of one from each Sta! and said it was but right that the great American party should have one candidate on the ticket nominated here. Mr. Giddings opposed the motion, and said if a committee is to be appointed to confer with Americans, be should also wish one ap- pointed toconfer with foreigners. After numerous speeches the proposition was referred, and the Convention caiectand. THIRD DAY. Puitapevruia, June 19.—The Convention re-assembled at 10 o’clock. Mr. Welply moved for an informal ballot for a candidate for Vice President, and nemi- nated Mr. Dayton of New Jersey. Adam Fisher nominated David Wilmot of Pennsylvania. Mr. Allison of Pa , presented the proceed- ings of the Pennsylvania State Republican Convention, approving the platform of the National Convention, and ratifying the nomi- tion for President, promising to him a united Support. ANrokaas Lincoln, of Illinois, was also nom- inated for Vice President.
