ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF FIVE PRISONERS
On Saturday night five of the rebel pris-
oaers at the camp attempted to break the
bonds of confinement by escaping from the
custody of the guard, but the attempt
proved signal failure, and its sad result
we trust will be warning to all the pris
oners who may have longing desire to
reach Dixie in that way, The facts of the
case as near as we can learn upon reliable
authority are these: The prisoners succeeded
previous to the attempted escape, in making
subteraneous passage from one of their
huts to the outside of the fence which en-
closes their camp, and through this they
passed to the outside of the enclosure, thus
avoiding collision with the guard posted
on the walk attached to the fence. After
escaping thus far, they had not proceeded
but short distance when they came in
contact with patrol party which was out
for the occasion-for it seems that the au-
thorlties had warning that such an attempt
would be made-and were commanded to
halt, which they refused to do, whereupon
several rounds from the navy revolyers OF
the patrol were discharged at them, severe
~ wounding two of the party, and causing
them all to surrender. One of the men
was so severely wounded that he is not en-
pected to live. The affair created consld'
cradle excitement on the Point, and many
different stories were afoat concerning it,
but the above version is from q reliable
source, and we presume correct.

OK Sunday afternoon our old and "a
miliar visitor, the steamer Balloon, Capt
Tilghman, with the old crew, made her
appearance at our wharf. OF course many
of our good citizens wcro anxious to see
her in the new dress which she has received
during the two months she has been laid
up in Baltimore undergoing repairs In
that time she has been thoroughly repaired
and number of convenient alterations and
additions made to her, besides having been
nicely re-painted, inside and out, with lead
colored paint. So complete is the trans
formation that even those most intimate
with her appearance failed to recognize her
She had on board of her about seventy-fye
colored recruits for Col. Birney's regiment,
now encamped near the Patuxant river,
whittier she was taking them, but was COM
PEELED to stop at this place for coal. The
colored recruits were very enthusiastic, and
their enthusiasm soon spread among the
colored population Of this place, and many
would have joined the army at once had
the opportunity been offered. We are told
that this opportunity will shortly be pre-
sented to them.

SMALLPOX has become quite extensive
among the rebel prisoners at this place,
there being at present about eighty cases
in the smallpox hospital, which is situated
some distance above the Point. Of the
patients admitted into this hospital from tho
rebel camp quite number have been re-
moved upon its being discovered that thcy
had this terrible disease We are informed
by one of the Surgeons who attends them
that the disease was contracted before their
arrival at this place, and that so far all who
were free from ii when they arrived are still
free. No efforts are being spared to pre-
vent its spreading, and we trust they may
provo successful.

at the depot, and upon seeing him, rushed
frantically to where he was. exclaiming in
