of Union Prisoners TO Escape
Frustrated.
From the Richmond Enquirer Of Noyem-
Der 2Sth, we learn that on Thursday last a
serious attempt was made by the Federal
prisoners confined at Salisbury, North Caro-
lima, to make their escape. which was rapidly
and effectually foiled, at the expense Of con-
siderable Yankee blood. 1t appears that 2

lacked the parapet guard, Who fought bravely
.oains, terrible odds until the alarm had been
fully communicated to the garrison and two
nieces of artillery thrown into position bear
Inc upon the encampment. Two of the par
anet guard were killed in the gallant defense.
Tn oood time the artillery opened, and after a
few rakinu discharges of grape and canister
the insurrectionists cried out for mercy, and
declared they would make no further effort to
get away. By this time they were completely
surrounded by artillery, infantry, etc. ltwas
well for them that they ceased their demon
stration and sued for mercy. 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 this very foolish attempt to escape from
Confederate durance ended.
