Outbreak at Camp Douglas.

Chicago was wild with excitement last
Wednesday night, owing TO startling rum
ors which prevailed at every street corner,
and every spublic place, that the whole
Rebel throng OF prisoners of war had made
an outbreak at Camp Douglas. The meag
er accounts, conflicting at first, were mag
nifed and exaggerated as they passed from
person to person, 30 that at IL O'Clock it
was generally believed that the whole {, 900
prisoners had fallen on the little garrison,
had taken them prisoners, and were busily
preparing for capture of the city.
At the City Railway offices the real facts
were first received. A conductor on one
of the down coming ears reported that two
companies Of the Rebels had made a rush
at some Of the sentries, but were repulsed
with loss. There had been some firing on
the part of the garrison, and the long-roll
was beat, after which the prisoners became
quiet and order was restored.
A courier was now dispatched to the
camp, to inquire into the affairs, and bring
back true statement of the facts
The facts of the case, as near as could
be ascertained, are that two companies Of
prisoners made desperate attempt to break
through the lines, after knocking down
the sentinel with brick. The guard raj

lied, and succeed in driving portion back.
A few made their escape. One cannon
and a few muskets were fred into the
crowd, and number of the prisoners were
killed and wounded. 1t was undoubtedly
an attempt to execute bold and concerted
plan for general stampede, and, had it
proved successful, it would be difficult to
conceive of the disastrous results which
might have followed II is evident that
such plan has been in contemplation for
some time among the prisoners, ms several
attempts have been made, within the past
three weeks, to force the guards, but with
out success. 1t shows the desperate nature
of the prisoners, and reckless determin-
alton to effect their release even at the
sacrifice OF life.

appalling Tragedy an Camada.-The
Quebec Chronicle gives an account of
horrible tragedy which took place in STAN
ford Township. A woman named Bourett,
who has manifested symptoms of insanity,
gave a viellu at her house on Sunday
night, and the next morning, on mar
ried daughter calling at the house, she
found it fastened, and looking in at the
window saw her mother and seven children
lying dead ON the floor. The house being
closely fastened, circumstances point to the
fact that the mother must have first mur-
dered her children and then committed
suicide.

Plenty.


In the midst of the gloom of our ma
tional troubles, a kind Providence has
vouchsafed to us an abundance of all the
necessaries of life. From all the loyal
States comes news of the most abundant
crops. The wheat crop has been safely
harvested, and was never better, take the
country through. Corn is promising finely;
and OF fruits there never was better pros
pect. Prices are reasonable-not too low
for the producer, nor too high for the con-
sumer. What great reason we have for
thankfulness in all this. While those who
brought this war upon the country tor the
purpose of overthrowing and destroying
the Government are compelled TO pay the
most exorbitant prices for the actual nec-
essaries of life, and in many cases are SUIT
eling from want Of food, while their coun-
try is desolated and the business OF their
towns and cities destroyed, we, who are
laboring and fighting for the maintenance
of our Government, are blessed with the
greatest abundance Of everything, our
fields are richly laden with bounteous
crops, and the business of our towns and
cities scarcely feels, as yet, any lnconvenl-
ence from the war Is there not something
more than accident in all this1 La not

ticed the likeness of young and striking
ly beautiful lady attired in mourning, and
those of them who stopped later in the day
for the purpose of again looking at that at
tractive face, noticed its disappearance.
With that portrait and its withdrawal from
exhibition a very romantic, but true story
is connected, of which we are at liberty to
give the outlines.
About year ago the original of the por-
trait lived with her father, 'well-to, do
farmer of the Grand river valley, Michigan,
these two constituting the entire family
The old man rapidly failing in health, was
desirous that his daughter should be mar
ried to neighboring young farmer who
passionately loved her The girl, however,
had already given her heart to young
man whom she had frequently met, while
he was sincerely attached to her. The low
er was not in position that would justify
gagement was kept secret.
The old man finding himself gradually
falling in health became more urgent in his
wish that his daughter would marry his
neighbor, but she pleaded for delay on va
rious pretexts. BY some means the father
at length became possessed of the secret of
the attachment, and without communica-
ting the fact of his knowledge to his daugh-
ter, he wrote letter to the Detroit lover,
pointing out the hopelessness of his suit
and stating that the lady was shortly to be-
come the bride Of young farmer for whom
she had been for years destined. He sd-
ded that an attempt to change this decree
would be giving the lady needless pain.
Immediately, on the receipt of this cruel
blow to all his hopes, the young man en-
listed in Michigan regiment under orders
to leave for Washington, and wrote the Ia
dy a brief note, announcing the fact and
begging her to forget him, and bidding her
farewell forever. The regiment almost i'm
mediately went 10 Washington.
The sad 21st day of July, 1861, follow
ed, and when the fainting and disheartened
soldiers returned from the fatal field OF
Bull Run to the defence on the line Of the
Potomac, the young Detroiter was not
among them. Nothing definite was heard
from him and he was supposed to have been
killed. The sorrowful news in time reach
cd the young lady, and she secretly mourn
ed for her lover as among the slain. Short
ly afterwards the old man was taken sick,

BATTLE GROUND OF FAIR OAKS,

[
June S. 1862
DEAR FRlEND-I write in haste-scarcely
having time to write q word / was in the
battle on Sunday last. On Saturday, at 5
o'clock, we crossed the Chickahominy, and ar
rived at the ground of that days fight about
ii O'Clock at night. We slept on the ground
in the rain, and within 100 yards of Reb-
ell Brigade, the rest Of the night At last
daylight appeared, and beautiful day it was.
The sun rose in all its beauty, upon day on
which it was predestined that there should be-
blood enough shed to write the history of the
war. About o'clock regiment moved for
ward into a woods on our left others soon
followed; at last we are ordered forward
we move into the woods about 900 yards, and
are ordered to halt-but, harki what sound
is that We hear! Tis the roar Of musketry.
Louder and louder, nearer and nearer it
comes-st last a bright fame starts up in
front of us, bringing down many of our brave
boys. We return the volley, and then blaze
away as fast as we can. The bGU has opened,
and many have slready chosen Death for
their partner All our troops are now en-
gagged, the fight is at it's height, the noise is
terrific, the scene awfully grand-thus the
fight continues for four hours-nothing is
heard but the roar Of musketry and the
groans of the wounded and dying All of
sudden the musketry ceases. and the roar of
artillery is heard in its place. The enemy
are repulsed at every point, their columns
broken and defeated, and they are now in
full retreat. The day is ours, and our own
Division (Richardson's) has whipped the ar.
my that whipped our two Divisions the day
before. We were then drawn out of the
woods, into an open field. A few minutes
later, Generals Mcclellan, Sumner and Rich
ardson rode by. We gave them cheer upon
cheer: The news then reached US that we
had met and defeated three Divisions, the
flower of the Rebel army.
We received heavy reinforcements last
night and to-day. There is no danger of an
attack from the Rebels now. They have got
enough of it. Your friend,
