RuNoRED ArFKAY AT CAMP DorGlAs.-
There were rumors in the city yesterday that
on Sunday night, while attempting to break
out Of the guard honee, three soldiers had been
wounded, one Of them severely. As near as
We could learn, The men had pricd Oft board
from the side Of the building, and obtained
possession Of some muskets belonging to the
sentry. Thus armed, the prisoners became
turbulent and made known their intention of
leaving their uncomfortable quarters. In using
the force necessary to prevent this, three of
The contestants received ugly wounds from
Eabre-bayonets. We give this as the general
tenor Of tho story spread abont the streets
yesterday, trusting that it may upon exa1nina-
ton prove without proper foundation il fact,
