UnfOftun0te Attempt or Union
Prisoners - Escape.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Richmond En-
qrircr, OF Nov. 18th, says: On Thursday
last serious attempt was made by the
Federal prisoners confined at Salisbury, N.
c.. to make their escape, which was rapid
~ and efiectually foiled at the expense of
considerable Yankee blood. It appears
that a plot had been formed amongst the
prisoners, OF whom there are at Salisbury
some $4,000, to overpower the interior
guard of the encampment. then break
through the line Of the parapet guard. and
after seizing all the arms they could, to
march thro' western n. G. into Tenn. 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 ter
rible odds until the alarm had been fully
communicated to the garrison, and two
pieces Of artillery were thrown into posi-
ton bearing upon the encamptment. Two
Of the parapet guard were killed in their
gallant defense.
In good time the artillery opened, and
after few raking discharges Of grape and
canister, the insurrectiOnists cried out for
mercy and declared that they would make
no further effort to get away. BY this time
they were completely surrounded by artil-
lery and infantry, and it was we'll for them
that they ceased their demonstration and
sued for mercy. for in ten minutes more
the whole camp would have been one scene
Of slaughter. AS 1t was, about 40 were
killed and a large number wounded. Thus
a very foolish attempt to escape from Con.
federate durance has ended.

NEW YORK. Nov. 3O.-A ire broke out

number Of families who occupied the dwell

Phosphorus was used, and it Is thought the

warehouse adjoining, where immense
quantities of army clothing are stored.
The mahogany lumber yard Of Ogden 4
Co., which was almost totally destroyed by

Of the block on Washington street, between
Herbert and Beach, and extended through

and West streets. The yard was filled
with an immense stock of mahogany and
valuable lumber, valued at $50, 1000.
The fire was discovered In the center OF
the yard. by Sergeant Farrell, wEo ct once
still envelOped in mystery, although an
Investigation made there shows no doubt
that It was incendiary. and but another act
in the recent diabolical plot to lay the city
in ashes. There are no lights used in the
yard, which 10 strictly watched and guard
ed. It is supposed that some combustible
material was thrown by the incendiary In
70 the mlO8I OF the AumO0f. IN the VIClntty
Of the lumber yard, within halt block,
10 an immense Government warehouse,
one Of the largest in the city, and it was
conjectlred that the object Of the incendia-
~ was to destroy this, but no access
could be found to It, a. there was an
armed guard constantly on duty there.
BY setting fire to the lumber yard, the en-
tire block, including the warehouse, was
je0pardised, and it was approaching q mir
acle that any portion was rescued. Strong
efforts are being made to discover the in
cendiary, but no clue has been had that

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Richmond Err
daniner says OF Sherman's movements: II
be could take Macon or Augusta by the
way. he would accomplish great things, but
the destruction Of those towns was not his
main object. His design WAS to destroy
the Railroad as far as he could, which runs
from southern and western Georgia to
Virginia and the Carolinas, and TO rest his
army at Beaufort and Port Royal. If he
can establish himself permanently at Beau
fort, he may be able to operate against these
roads successfully. Furthermore, Beau
fort lies between Charleston and Savannah
and can be conveniently used as the base
Of land operations against either city.
