The prisoners made rush upon the sentinel

down, and about thirty of them got ont.
They were Immediately fired upon BY the
guard on the parapet, and two of The grey
Jackets brought down wounded. The Others,
taking advantage Of the long piles Of wood
along for considerable distance, and some
Of them, 1t ia said, actually made their es
care out of the camp.
