Ag far og Mr. Marston is concerned, we may digmisa Dim with the remark that the plot of his piece ts conventional and transparent, the interest purely emotional, the eitua- tons often powerful and always forced, and the dialogue crisp, strong, often sharp and wity and seldom preachy He has made a mistake, however, in pot having at leas, ono broad, humorous character jn bie drama, Sir Gerard Fane—a very mild and wicked Lord Dundreary—does not come up to the mark in this respect.

WONDERFUL ESCAPE OF TWO UNION OFFICERS, Two officers, who arrived in this city this morning from Natchez, escaped from Tyler, Texas, about five weeks ago, alter having travelled over three hundred and fifty miles through the enemy’s country, and been one mouth in accomplishing that distance, The follow- ing 8 a history of their adventures, taken from their own lips:— WHER TAKEN P'RISONERS—BOW TNEY WERE USED ON THE MARCH. Lieutenant J. W. Green, of Company F, and Lieutenant A, Whitsit, of Company I, Twenty-sixth Indiana, Lieat. Cilonel Leake commending, @ taken priconers at the organza afuir, near Morgen’s Bend, on the Mississippi, which your readers will remember occurred in the early part of October last. Four bundred and Afty-nine others, inglnding Licutenant Colonel Leake, were also captured. While on the march, and with the rebel army, they were used well; but frequently the citizens Ineulted them with coarse oaths and jests, and one old man said that bo would rather see the crows picklog their bones than that they ehoull be where they were. Arriving at Alexandria, La., about one hundred miles distant, ofcers and men were crowded into the Court House, whore they were usable to lie down, so closely woro they packed, Remaining here two days, they were harried on to Shreveport, waiting about twenty four hours at Mansfeld for supplies. At tho latter place they were weil treated by the citizens, many of whom pro jessed Union sentiments, Lere isa young ladies’ semi. nary, aod our brave fellows bad the ploasure of secing many of ite fair inmates and hearing loyalty to the old flag expreesod from their lips. At Shreveport they were marched to General Kirby Smith's headquarters, and there waited for orders. They were allowed bat a ehort time in Shreveport, and were soon moving in the direction of Tyler, Texas, bay- ing been turned over to the command of two companit of ateamboatmen who had volunteered their fervices. ‘They were commanded by two captains. These fellows treated our men roughly, burrying up those who were footsore with threats aud curses, and a Frenchman, who did wot understand a word of English, was ordered by one of the captains to move faster. Not obeying thecommaud, the rebel struck him to the earth with bis scabbard, and followed the blow by threo or four otbore Jn Ove days from the time what they left Shreveport they arrived at Tyler, having marcbed during that time one hundred and ten miles, TREATHEST AT TYLER—A WROTAL MICRDER. The prisoners reached Tylor on the 234 day of October, and were turned over to Major Tucker. In justice to this officer I am desired to say that be treated our moa ex- ceodingly well. He was taken prisoner by our forces at the engagement at Arkansas Poet, and stated to our offi- cers that bo wished to correct au erroneous statement which had been generally belioved—namely, that the rebel prisoners wore cruelly treated, were crowded co .bonte without siothing, and that several were frozen to death. Ibis, he said, wae not true,as he and bie men ‘Wore kindly trexted and made as comfortable ns possible under the circumstanecs. He further added that a num bor died of emallpox, bot that none to bis knowledge were frozen to death. Before there oMfvers escaped, Major Tucker woe re Neved by Colonol K. T, P.

Before they left Shreveport they had the pleasure of seeing the privates of their regiment (about four hundred and forty), Mr. Anderson and the citizens who had !eft Tylor with him. They were ail in good health and in fine spirits at the prospect of an early exchange. Procuring six days’ rations, and passing thomeelves off as rebel soldiers returning tostheir regiments at Monroe, they passed boldly out of Shreveport, aud started in the direction of the Red river, taking a due east course. After a march of &fteen mites they succeeded in reaching Red river that evening, aud were rowed over to the other side bya slave, Who furnished them with supper, aud directed them toacotton pen, where they passed the night very comiortably, considering that tho weather wus very cold, and that they had but one lignt Dianket each, When the sun was visible they managed very well; but when it was obscured the direction de- pended entirely upon a small pocket compass which one of them fortunately possess: They found the country dat and marsby and full of bayous, many of which thoy were compelled to swim over. DIFFICU1.ES THAT EXD WELL. On the 15th day of January they arrived at Red Shoot Bayou, which is almost as wide as the Rod river itself. . How to reach the other side they know not, as the cur- rent was very i and the distavee too great to swim. ‘Afver soarchi®g in vain for a skiff, and finding no hu- man being or habitation in the neighborhvod, they con- cluded to build a raft Placing three logs side by side, they fastencd thom together with grapevines and launch- ed them from two placed obliquely under them. £o far ali went well, and, ste upon raft, they com- menced paddling to the side, and bad reached ubout one third of the distance when the grapevines gave way, the parted and both slid into the bayou. Aiter swimming and floucdering about for some time against the strong current, they reached in safeiy the bank.{rom which they started. Boing wot to the skin and tbe weather bitter cold, they tried to light e Gre by means of matches, which they had corecaled in the Hning of their bats. but everything was eo wet that they were uvable todoso, They then took off their clothes and wrung them as cry as possibie before putting them on again, when they started up the bank of the bayou for the purpose of finding something to cross in, but did not succeed until they had walked three miles, when they saw @ slave working in a piece of cleared ground. On learning that they wished to cross, be promised to row them over ina skiff in tho evening, ‘end kept bis word. This brought them tothe upland, which is covered with pine, A fire was now hgbted without trouble, and, camping for the night in the woods, they managed to dry ubeir clothes, and awoke: in tbe morning rofreshed and hopeful, and continued their eastward course. ¥RELING OF TNE PROPLE—PEACE ON ANY TRRMS, Whenever provisions bocame scarce thoy would go to a plantation for more, stating that thoy were returning to their regiments alter having been to Shreveport on @ furlough. At one place at which they stopped all night they were provided witb suppor and breakfast, and treated very woll. The.tamily was com: of a man (orty years of age), his wife and three childreu, aud tbe Plantes, among other questions, esked what was ‘“‘out”’ at Genoral Smith's beadquarters, and what was tho I~ pect of peace, ss everybody was tired:of the war. ey weréaleo asked if it was true that New Orleans was taken by the negroes, as it was reported that they had risen, seized the ari taken Fort Jackson, released the «Con- federate” prisopers confined there, and killed all the ©Yunkee” men, womed and childre! "At every plantation where they stopped peace was most sincerely wisbed for on avy terms, and in many cnses the partics confessed thut their we Was gone past recovery. IMPORTANT INFORMATION LEARNED. Continuing their jourvey, they iovod ! wecessary to ford and switn across eeveral lorge streams; but in tho latter cuse they managed to keep thelr clothing dry by placing It upon a log and pushing it be‘ore them to tbe ober side, Several days parsedtius witbout anything oceurring worthy of pote, when, their haversacks becom. ing nearly empty, they followed a by road which they struck, aud which led them to a plantation. It proved to be that of Colonel Grey, of the iwenty-cighth Loui- siana, The Colonel’s sop, @ man abont forty years of age, was at home working the plantativa. Here they received permission to remain all night, aud were jurnisbed with supper and breakfast, “Yan coffee’ being given to them tor the first ti iuce the y had been in the confederacy. In tact, 9s they staicd to me, it was tbe first that they bad seen since thoy were taken prisoners. Mr. Grey said tbat General Stontov bad marched his division across from Aloxandria to Gaines’ Landing, on (he Mississippi river, for the purpose ‘of assistivg in the crossing of some s which were on the cast ride, aud that they had accomplished tt and re- turned to Monrce, where they were ex; ing to receive orders to proceed to Alexandria in a few days. leo spoke of Jeff, Davis? paneene, nd said that be bad been beard to state that if he bad men enough he would fight all the foreign Powers, as there was not one but bed broken its e3 Of neutrality to them, When they left the house Lieutenant Green asked irs.
