Our renders are no doubt familiar with the dall blue walls of the building and its barred windows, jealously fenced in by low, sullen inclosures, which hardly leave room for the barren, pinched-up yards ‘The prison is known among those familiar with ‘‘slang” as we jug.’ It used to be the case that in the neighborhood were seriously an- noyed by the prisoners on the second and third floors, who would hall acquaintances, or even strangers passing along the street, and of course they were not choice in their selection of epithets.

Ta’ joor prison- es descend to see their friends from the outside world, and many sad meetings of fatber and chil- dren, busband and wife, brother and sister, guilt and tpnocence, have here been witnessed by the stoical guards On this side of the door is placed jarge curved bar, so placed as to keep “inside” ind ‘‘outside” at arm’s length. Adjoining the guard room, on the west, is the office, and in it the armory, with muskets, sabers and pistols, of the old stylé. The guards, however, have lately been furnished by the Government with an improved ‘Colt’ each, and these are always taken into the cells when a guard has occasion to viait them, ‘+ for fear of accidents.’ In the office also isa casefor medicines—a drug store in minia- ture. Adjoining the office is room, at pres- ent occupied by Dr. Fleming,.a surgeon the Confederate army,who was captured in June last. He bas the run of the outside yard on pardle, and sometimes goes to church with Justice Donn. He does not look at all like a prisoner, and seems to be alwayain good health and spirits. Next the office on the east is the store room, with a good supply of bacon, corn meal, &c., and adjoining that the kitchen. They were cooking dinner when we entered, and the heat from the !2: open fire-place was overpowering. Several old. fashioned Dutch ovens, with a mammoth corn “pone” in each, were ranged before this fire, while two large botlers of meat were simmering over a range at one side. After examination of these nts one of the jailors said he was reedy to accompany us to the cells. The guard on duty then unlocked the door, we tered ind it closed behind us; and hearing the key grate in the lock we had a queer souelion of being *‘ lockedin*’ Thecelison the first floor are on the north side of the corridor— the rooms we have described being on the south side. The cells are small, dark, damp and dis- agreeable in one of them, crouching over his bed with bis back to the wall, and with irenson bis ankles, was Roberts, the soldier who killed the teamster Wolfe. He looked up witha pleasant smile on being secosted. and said he was quite comfortable. The —— say he isa quiet, man- ageable fellow, and from his the demon drink is at the bot! his troubles. In the same ran; @ poor, beer io soldier, named Stewart; and we now say plainly to those in authority that unless he is removed from that miserable 801 ly will be answerable for At the Insane Asylum he could re- cetve the attention his case demands. In this range we noticed a bright, intelligent th, with a pleasant face, and asked him what was doing there. He said be didn’t know, he believed it was for breaking somebod onthe Avenue. The intelligent guard who ac- companied us, (Mr. Duval,) was amused at our verdancy in apes ipl oer d in the jail had “done ayties All are victims buman prejudice and prisoner’s idea. The answer to all inquiries is similar to that of the bey “Jo” in Bleak House, ‘‘i never done nothink.”” Most of the cells have — deors, but one called “the dungeon,” (a distinction it is not more entitled te than the rest.) has solid iron door.

One of these prisoners in the room we were speaking of was urgent for a book to read, but the establishment it seems could not afford one. The evils of these ‘‘secesh”” joners Toust be aggravated too by the sight of an im- mense American eagle drawn on the wall of the room by some fllustrious artist leven who executed his work with such spirit that it is sug- gestive of Yankee Doodle and Hail Columbia all over. We noticed in several of the rooms very creditable drawings, some colored and some Plain, a great many life size, and the majority religious subjects, such as ‘‘The Crucifixion,” “Angels at the Cross,” &: Having fully gratified our curfosity inside, we came down and passed into the jail yard, which is on the north side. We were gi: open air a; » even though it was in a prison yard. Thi the only yard the prisoners are allowed to use, and is w! they ure their iter, a Bee being in the center of the yard. Beyond the pump is a guardhouse, where there is & watchman night and day. In the southeast corner of the yard is the place where the gallows is erected, when it Is ageerer | to use one. We entered the prison sgain, called for the guard on duty, passed through the grated door into the concider, were locked out as we bad been locked in, and visited the eastern (kitchen) yard, and the western, similar to it, both inclosed with low walls. Bill Woodward escaped by finding the ited door unlocked, passing © oe the corridor into this west yard and scaling the low wall with & piece of scantling. In climbing this wall, or the fence beyond, he received the wound which caused his death We indebted to the courtesy of the jail offi- cers for affording us every facility to visit all parte of the prison. It is badly arranged, dark, damp, and unsafe, and entirely too small to accommodate balf the number of prisoners generally confined there It would be inbuman to confine convicted criminals there, and whi all we say of innocent | seagees incarcerated in these gloomy cells awalt- ing examination? The prison was probably about as clean as could be expected The jailor, Mr. John H. Wise, and bis assiet- ants, no doubt do all in their power to keep it so, but they would need the eyes of an Argus and the bundred hands of Briareus to accomplish it. The prisoners have to wash their own clothes in- side the prison. It ia whitewashed every week or @+o throughout, and the floors regularly cleaned, which would be enough and more than enough ina proper building; but bere It only tends to keep the filth from being offensive. The pi for Potomac water are now laid through the buildinv, and that no doubt will tend greatly to pouty the atmosphere “within these walls stified iv ot and stench.’ But what is wanted is a new jail, built with some regard for the health of the prisoners whether they be guilty or innocent. Ligvor Cases —J. Reynolds and C. F. McCar- thy were y' fternoon, for selling liquor to soldiers. Reyn was by Justice Donu, and McCarthy, who was only in the house at the time, was dismissed. The law makes no ——— for costs, as in other cases; consequent’ daay bulk of these arrests are mai pt ees soldiers themselves, and not by the civil officers. This accounts for the fact that the liquor law is so openly violated, daily. Congas, in ing the law, was not aware. probably, that our county officers who deal with United States cases make it a rule ‘to do nothing for nothing.”” Chas Haburn was arrested this morning and aken before Justice Don: nque ps, fc which be was ordered to pay a fine of $25. Aggzst or County Constasie A. E.L. Karan. By request of the officers of the Provost Guard we A pecrcnras refrained from mention of the arrest of County Constable Keese. As the fact, however, bas been made public byacity gee, we su pose tbat nothing will be gained by further rel. cence in the matter. Some surprise was oc- casioned by his arrest by the Provost Guard from the fact of his having been of the three month volunte-rs, (District,) and from his many elab- orate displays of loyaity. Further inquiry seems, however, to have satisfied the inquirers that the arrest was based on information that could not pass unbeeded by the authorities Row in Gzoxextown. ‘esterday evening two soldiers entered the premises of Mr. Jos. Nichol- son, on Bridge street, Georgetown, near the canal, and drove his wife from the house. Mr. Nichol- son, who was near at the time, immediately came to the rescue, when he was seized by the two sol- diers, but being an athletic man he caught up a pick handle and so belabored the men that it will probably be a life lesson for thein. When our informant passed there, one of the men was standing on the pavement bleeding freely about the bead, and the other apparently ‘‘used up,” was being brought up the steps of an area by three men. Davnxen Txameter.—Yesterday afternoon, s Government ages drawn br a fine tam down Seventh t about half-past five o’clock, and by their motions the horses seemed inclined torunaway. The attention of pedestrians was attracted to the driver, who was jerking and pull- ing the line, and the lending horses. He swayed from side to side in the saddle, and it was evident that he was drunk. Fortunately, the animals were clearer headed than the driver, al it to the middle of the carriage ways and collision with vehicles. Fatat Accipsnt —Yesterday afternoon, while some soldiers of the Thirty-seventh New York Regiment were performing picket duty a mile or two bey heres Arlington, they entered a house, and while {naide beard firlag, which they supposed was by secession pickets. ‘They ran out, when the gun of one them was accidentally dis- charged, fatally wounding a member of company B, named Thomas Rosney.
