New YORK, Aug. 13.-To-day all the
OH strike tor sixty cents per 1000 for
night work. The trouble was caused by
The Times advertising for typesetters at
fifty cents. The printers in The Tribune
office left because the publication of this
advertisement was insisted on. The COM
positors in The Times objected to its publi-
cation, and it was suppressed. The Herald
inserted it, with an advertisement follow
ing it from the Typographical Union, eau
tioning printers from other places against
coming to the city.

SUNDAY NIGHTS RBPOR4'
Arrival of Refugees and Deserters
Within Our Lines--What they

say.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13,-Six refugees and
twenty-one deserters from the rebel army
arrived here to-day from City Point. The
former left Richmond by stealth on Thurs
day night and came into our lines. They
tell long story, representing that on Sat-
urday last four trains, of twenty cars each,
arrived in Richmond, bringing a body of
troops from Petersburg, said to be divis-
ion, and IN y left Immediately on the Cen
tral road to reinforce Early. a large body
of rebel cavalry arrived the same day. COM
ing by railroad, and departed for the same
destination. One of this party worked on
Belle Island, and states that when he left
there were but five Federal prisoners there,
the others all having been sent South to
Georgia. There are but few Federal pris-
oners in Libby prison; in fact none but
sick and wounded are kept there.
At the time the Danville railroad was
cut, our prisoners were made to walk on
foot some seventy miles before they took
railroad, and these men heard guards when
they returned say many gave out and died
on the road.

PROPOSALS FORA LoAN.-We again direct
attention to the advertisement OF proposals
for the 7-30 government loan, in another
column of this paper. Of this loan an ex-
change says, the interest is large, consider
ing the strength of tn security. The gen.
eral rate ofinterest 8 six per cent. payable
annually. This is one and three-tenths per
cent. more interest payable semi-annually.
Il is convertible into six per cent. bonds
paying gold interest. In short, it is good
and secure loan, and may be safely COM
mended.

Closing Lines-.-No Cotton Trading
Allowed.

CAIRO. Dec. 5.-Gen. Duford ordered
the lines around Helena closed to every
body. Stragglers arriving at Helena on
steamers, being discovered, are furnished
passes and required to leave Immediately.
The Memphis Democrat says forty to
fifty prominent citizens of Memphis were
recently arrested at the mouth of White
River by order of Gen. Buford for at
tempting to purchase cotton with permits
from Ellery, U. s. Cotton Purchasing
Agent at Memphis; learning which, EIlery
dispatched an agent with instructions to
investigate the case and report to him.
Upon arrival of the agent at Helena, Gen.
Buford peremp.orily refused to investigate
or permit him TO proceed to White river,
ordering him to return to Memphis on the
first boat.
The steamer James Watson was detain-
ed at Helena. Her officers are charged
with illegal operations in cotton.
Among papers captured on rebel officers
during Col. Clark's raid into Arkansas,
was an affecting appeal to rebel General
Kirby Smith by Ex.General Writ Adams,
who has been cOnscripted and reduced to

Abortive Attempt OF Union Prs.
Oners nc Salisbury 70 Escape...
Forty OF them Killed.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-From the Rich
mond Enquirer Of Nov. %, We learn on
Thursday last an attempt was made BY the
Federal prisoners confined at Salisbury,
N. O., to make their escape, which was
rapidly and effectually quelled at the ex-
pense of considerable Yankee blood. 1t
appears that plot had been formed
among the prisoners, of whom there are
at Salisbury some $4,000, to overpower
the interior guard of the encampment,
then break through the lines of the para
pet guard, and after securing all the arms
they could to march through Western Gar
DINA into Tennessee, and make good their
escape.
In the first part of their programme
they succeeded. The interior guard was
overpowered and two of the unfortunate
men were killed while resisting. They
then attacked the parapet guard who
fought bravely against the terrible odds
until the alarm had been fully commune
Gated to the garrison and two pieces of ar
tillery thrown into position bearing upon
the encampment.
Two of the parapet guard were killed in
this gallant defense. In good time the ar
tillery opened, and after few discharges
the insurrectionists cried out for mercy
and declared they would make no further
effort to get away.
By this time they were completely sur
rounded by artillery and infantry, and it
was we'll for them that they ceased their
demonstrations and sued for mercy, for
in ten minutes more, the whole camp
would have been one scene of slaughter.
As it was, about forty were killed, and
large number wounded. Thus q very
foolish attempt to escape from Confeder-
ate durance, ended.

by them in many brilliant assaults on the enc

heroic cOnstancy under all the dangers and
