Daring r ebeI Plot 20 Escape From the
State PenItenTiary.
The following account by special dis
patch to the Cincinnati Gazette will be
read with interest;
A few days since Basil Duke, who has
been at Camp Chase on psrol for the past
two or three weeks, expressed desire to
be taken back to the PeDitentiary. He
urged this with 90 much persistency as TO
lead Governor Brough and Gen. Heintzel-
man TO suspect that be had some other OBJ.
ject in view, than simply return to his
old quarters in the prison. Precautionary
measures were Immediately adopted, and
the Governor very soon had the sstisfao-
ton Of knowing that his plans were sue.
oessful. They unmssked q deep laid
scheme, on the part Of the rebel prisoners,
to attempt an escape. The rebels plan was
briefly to overpoWer the guard when they
we're ia the hall, IS they have been per-
mitted to be, and force their way through
at whatever cost. They had armed them
selves with knives, which they had stolen
from the tsbles from time to time, and
shsrpehed for the work. These knives
uhFc bAOut nNC
thick backs and heavy wood handles, and
when ground down to q sharp point and
edge, as these were, make ugly and formi-
dable weapons. They had provided thsm-
selves with fles, one Of which was ground
down SO as to serve IS q soreW-driver, and
one Of the men had nearly completed
wooden key, which cou be used, if neces-
sary; but their plans were for q short and
bloody work.
Yesterday was the day set apart for the
attempt, but to the surprise Of the prison
ers they were not permitted their usual
freedom. At breakfast they were taken
TO and from their cells with double
guard. In the afternoon they were taken
out singly and searched in the presence of
tie Warden and Governor.
How they came in possession of their
knives is not disclosed, nor how Governor
BrOugh discovered them.
Hereafter they are to be Wstchsd closer
than ever.
