A Troublesome Party.

Cincinnati, June 16.—a Chattanooga special says the latest intelligence from the escaped prisoners is that the Sheriffs posse had Thomas Scott and two others surrounded in a thicket nine miles from town. Reinforcements have been sent, and the combined forces will close in on the fugitives. The excitement continues high, with good prospects of a hemp matinee in Scott's case. Scott has weapons and will give the Sheriff' trouble.
