DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM JAIL.
Last night between nine and ten O'Clock a
desperate attempt was made By number OF
prisoners TO escape from tine jail. JAiior
Jones has for some time past INDUCED the
prisoners in a few hours exercise each eve
ming from seven o'clock 70 the time OF
locking up the Jail, and four of the prison
ers have been allowed to walk around the
hall of the Jail alternately.
The Jailor entered the hall, and was In
the act Of locking the door after hla wheh
he was attacked by Geo. Connolly, VINO
-truck him with a club Chas. Monkey
then sprang forward to assist Connolly, and
Geo Dusky, Jno. Wilson and VIM. Candy,
ran to the rescue. The jailor struck Con-
nelly and knocked him down. The iailor's
family heard the disturbance and opened
the door to allow Mr.. Jones to get away
from the prisoners. One of the prisoners
made desperate attempt to force his way
through the open door, but was prevented
l.; Mrs. Jones. The jailor managed to get
cut of the door and turn the key, when he
drew his revolver and fred ct the prisoners,
who we're near the door. The ball missed
the men, and they all ran to their cells.
The TAILOR then ran down street and OBJ
tanned squad of the Provost Guard and a
lumber of citizens, who returned to the Jail
and soon restored order. The five men who
attempted 10 escape were Immediately
handcuffed aud a vigilant search of the
prisoners was instituted. A large number
Of letters were found in the cells, which,
Il is thought, will implicate outsiders in the
plot to release the prisoners, Several pho
tographs we're found in Dusky's cell, which
must have been passed through the window
from the outside of the Jail, A knife and
a pistol was seen in the hands of the pris
Diners when the attack first began, but nei-
Their could be found whea the search was
made .... .t
In the scuff1e the jailor was roughly
handled, and received number OF bruises
abont his person. His wife and daughter
also received slight I'M uries.

Gen. Morris Of the 9th Corps who was
standing beside Gen. Sedgwick when he
was killed, was wounded in the leg but
not serious.
By Richmond paper found on prison
er, it is stated that the body of General
Wadsworth, was buried by them at the
Wilderness, this would seem to determine
the certainty OF his death. 1t also states
that Butler was within Is miles of Rich

Lees retreating forces upon all sides, while
our cavalry under Sheridan have been
and are performing prodigies of valor Our
troops sustain their hard marching with
wonderful endurance and in good spisits.
For long time after our wilderness fight
it was difficult to make many of the men
believe that our movement was not a re-
treat, but when ascertaining beyond a
question that we were advancing, their en-
thusiasm knew no bounds, aud they made
the woods ring with huzzas for Grant,
