About forty Yankee prisoners sue
ccedcd in making their escape Friday
night from what prison We have not
learned. One of them was overhauled
while making his way through the Pen
insula, and returned 10 durance vile. We
learn that eight others escaped on Sat
urdny night, but it is not authenticated.
1t is presumed that measures have been
taken to prevent repetition of this occur
renee. -Four thousand Yankee prisoners
will, we learn, be taken hence to Dam
vile.
The Wing thinks the approaching
Christmas will be u dull one with them
BY u notice in the Wing from the Ma
jor Of Engineers in charge of Rich monC
dclenses all persons are prohibited from
cutting timber within 600 feet ot the
breastworks around that city.
The blockade OF Wilmington is repre-
scented by the Jour nal Of that city AS be-
coming more rigid, and sumc fast vessels
are employed in cnfor cling it. Tue bloc k
nd ng fleet is believed to have been in
creas,d d.
'Thcre is nothing Of additional inter.
est ON the two armies in Northern
Vrginio. Mead's designs are as yet un'
developed. General Lee has already
penetrated them. Some firing was hearC
yesterday morning in the direction o.
Morton's Ford, on the Rlpidun. SomC
are Of the opinion it was used hy an at
tempt of the enemy to force a passage
but it was probably an exchange OF shots
only.
The Yankees that came to Liberty
Mills above Orange CouIt House, ant
were driven back, BY loraging party.
An Abingdon (Vnginia) paper says
" The nearest point heard Of Yankee!
OF the East Tennessee and Virginia rail
road, is Bells Gap, sixteen miles beyon'
Grecnvillc. IL is probable Genera
Jones has pursued them to Trovel betor,
this.
"A small body of Yankees came up &
Jonesviile on Friday, sixteen miles from
the Gap, and committed all sorts of dep
relations. They burned the Academy
and Masonic Hall, set fire to Il church
aud stole all the horses, cattle, grain ant
negroes they could find. There are
abundant supplies in that country.
a" Trains run to Zollicotfer on the Eas
Tennessee Railroad. They have beef
running through to Bristol, Tor nearly tive
weeks past.
"Mrs. Todd, Of Kentucky, mother @
Mrs. Abe Lincoln, arrived h,re ol
Thursday night from City Point, en- rout
TO Georgia, on visit to her daughter
Mrs. General Helm"
The Telegraph has announced the dc
parturcs OF that lady for Kentucky
through the FEDERAL mes, by permission
Of General Grant.
"The Richmond Wing, in an editcra
on the Army Of Tennessee, says;
" Since the battle of Chickamauga
the Army of Tennessee has lost Lieu
tenant General Polk, Lieutenant Gener
al Hill, Major General Forest, Genera
Cheatham, and Major General Buckncr
With the exception Of Hill, these officer
have served from the beginning Of th,
war with that army. Some ofthese hat
the confidence ofthc CJniederates to
high degree of enthus siusm, aud were un
uoNoNSui1 uhH'lS NhS hiOot ohiilul, lHNiC
pid and devoted Of leaders. But, grca
as was their value to that army, if Ihei
withdrawal had left nothing but concor
and harmony, they could then well b.
spared; unfortunately, information tina
reaches US is far otherwise. Harmon,
doesen't prevail, doesen't exist. To Sc
cure these there is no officer, no hundre
. officers, that would not well be removed
for without the confidence Of the men il
in their commanders, and commanders il
their men, there is no army that can b
relied on. 1t is suicidal TO leave any
D thing, with this army, uncertain, that ca
be made sure, for il must succeed, mus
beat back the emery from the great cen
= tral position he now holds, or at leas
{ hold him back from further progress, O
E every position we have is turned aud IN
Coniederacy will be ovcrrun not subju
gated, but overrun. Can not the Pres
dent be induced to consider properly an
b. do the only thing that will make the al
my OF Tennessee fully, consciously an
certainly, capable of executing success
fully the great task developed up on il.
