CoIuMBus, Feb. GA few days since Ba-

parole for the past two or three weeks, ex-
prcssed desire to be taken back to the Pen

sistency as to lead Coy. BrouSh and Gen.

his old quarters in the prison. Precautionary
measures were Immediately adopted, and the
Governor very soon had the satisfaction Of
knowing that his plans were successful.
They unmasked deep-laid scheme. on the
part Of the rebel prisoners, to attempt an es-
cape. The rabels' plan wss briefly to over
us they have been permitted to be, and force
their way through at whatever cost. They
had armed themselves with knives, which
they had stolen from the table from time to
time, and sharpened for the work. These
knives hare stout blades four or five inches
long, thick backs and heavy wood handles,
and when ground down to sharp point and a.
ble weapons. They had provided themselves
with flles, one Of which was ground SO as to
serve as q screw driver, NH one Of the men
had nearly completed wooden key, Which
could be used, If necessary; but their plans
were for short and bloody work
Yesterday was the day set apart for the
attempt, b1t to the surprise Of the prisoners,

At At breakfast they were taken to and from

Kentncky horse-tbief to indulge In profane
1anenage. The knives which were thus col
1scfed arc preserved by the Warden as tro-
1I nnies. Il Is not proper to state how the
5rehels came into possession Of some OF the

The Indian Depredations.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 19.-No ranches are left
standing between Big Sandy and Little
Blue, and none. inhabited between fort
Kearney and Denver. Four trains were
captured and burned on Little Blue. All
the stock, consisting of four hundred and
fifty cattle, and large number Of mules,
were driven off. The men belonging to
these trains escaped. The Indians were
well mounted and most of them armed with
long range guns.
Captain Thompson, with seventy-five men
belonging to the sixteenth Kansas cavalry,
and one hOwitzer, is pursuing the Indians
who committed these outrages. t
Little Blue dispatches dated the 4th, say
the Indians moved toward Republican river
with one thousand oxen and large herd of
horses and mules.
Gen. Sherry, of the Kansas militia, also
joined in the pursuit, moving north of
ThOmpson's command. --..........
Eight days have elapsed since commune
cation has been had further west than Jour-
teen miles from Little Blue. Within that
distance, sixteen men, women and children
have been massacred and every dwelling
burned. The families of the settlers were
sent to the settlements, and the men turned
upon the Indian trail.
Gen. Blunt sent orders to Forts Larned,
Ellsworth and Salina for the commands at
these points to scout in the direction taken
by the Indians, keeping ready to join in a
general pursuit when their trail is found.
Blunt is doing everything possible with
the small force under his command.

Latest from Petersburg.

HEADQUARTERS Army OF THE PoToNAc.
Aug. 70, p. M.-Yesterday was the quietest
day we have had in front of Petersburg for
a month-scarcely a shot being heard the
entire day. On the Weldon road, where
Gen. Warren's corps has taken position,
considerable skirmishing, with an OCCASION
al discharge of artillery, occurred, but
nothing resembling an engagement took
place. In the afternoon the enemy moved
a force from near Petersburg toward our
left, and made an attempt to force ourline
ON the Jerusalem road, but finding the road
was not so easy as they anticipated, aban-
doned it.. They took few prisoners, how
ever. before they fell back. ,'.le
The number of casualties In the 9th corps
on Thursday was about $50.
About midnight some batteries in front
of the 18th corps opened, and also on the
left. A sharp engagement was kept up for
several hours, with the result, so far as as
certained, of nobody injured. AT this hour
not gun can be heard.
The roads are becoming bad in conse-
quence of the rain which has fallen during
the present week, and still continues.

Lees Strength Underrated-His
Force Now Supposed to Number
neutrality-suspicious. Against Mo.
bile.
New YORK, August 2O.-The Worlds
Charleston, Va, special Of the 18th says
Most of our army passed through Winches-
ter Wednesday, and encamped on the 18th
between Clifton and Charleston. The enc
my's force is estimated at forty thousand
infantry and fifteen thousand cavalry.
The Times Washington special says the
recent simultaneous encounters with the
rebels on both banks of the James, and also
in the valley, prove that Lee has in Vir-
ginia larger force than had been supposed,
and reports of his having sent detachments
to Georgia are not now credited. Lees to-
tai force is estimated by our secret service
at about seventy thousand men.
The latest adYices from our forces operat-
ing against Mobile show that Fort Morgan
Is closely invested, and at last reports the
attack was on the point of being made
The statement that the fort was provisioned
tor six months is known to be all nonsense.
Intelligence from our blockaders proves
that Fort Morgan has been in the habit of
receiving supplies for only fortnight at a
time. The fall of this work may therefore
