The encmy's line extends from Darbyton TO New

The Attempted Escape OF Prisoners
from Camp Douglas.

A thrilling incident took place at Camp Douglas
on Tuesday night in the desperate and daring at
tempted SJrtie Of q squad Of rebel prisoners, some
thirty or more in number only defeated by the vigil
lance and promptness Of the sentines. The move
ment took place little after ten clock toward
the northwestern angle Of the enclosure, by sud
den rush Of the attacking party armed with mallets
axes and clubs. They rushed across the dead line
the leader throwing a blanket over the light that
Illuminated that part Of the enclosure. With him
it was cmphaticaly Put out the light0ud then put
out the light for quick us thought the bullet of the
sentry sped striking the rebel in the throat, inact-
ing a mortal wound. Undeterred by hs fall, his
comrades made for the fence, and began Il furious
battering process upon the boards with their axes
and weapons
The long roll sent ID, cchoes throughout tine camp
The excitement was intense. The guard rallied,
and poured their fire ndiscrmnatcly in upon the
rebel squad flrou.ly at work in the darkness upon
the fence, their position under the shelter of the
parapets however, giving them uuob'erycd immu-
nifty. The whole affair was short lived and from
the reasons named though numerous shots We're
fred only two rebels were struck by the bullets
These were Lewis H. Moore Of company d. 7th
Alabama. and another whose name we have not
learned. The first named was mot in the act Of cx-

Col. J. b. Sweet commander OF the post, ha. is
sued general order in which he says that CON
spiracy is apparent among the prisoners to effect
their escape. He cautions them against such at-
tempts, reminding them of their position as a ne
cessity of the war, and informing them that in any
future attempt he will perform his duty strictly
though in doing SO he might destroy the innocent
with the guilty The arrangements at Camp
Douglas are complete for the prevention Of such
