Rev. DR.. G. x. Marshall, Of Misc, who Is
now In this city, has published An appeal in
behalf OF our manned soldiers who have lost
their limbs in defence Of the Confederacy.
He proposes that ian association" shall be
organised in this city, composed OF the dis
tinguished and undistinguished of all the
Confederate States, with q President, Vice
President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Efecu.
tive Committee, whoee duty it shall be to
raise funds for the manufacture or importa-
tion of artificial limbs, aud present them to
those who have been unfortunately deprived
OF their natural limbs; not az an act Of
charity, but conferred as an act of esteem
and gratitude. Already 81 600 has been paid
over to Dr. Marshall by one gentleman. and

the people will induce them to contribute

Arthur Hill. Geo. Gaiilard, Chas Smith, VIM.

mode Of escape was by removing some bricks
from under the sill ofthe door TO the second
story Of the building. Running in . line
With the door Of this story is . wide plat
form, on which q sentinel IL constantly
posted; and when We consider that
their means of egress was 90 near the

does not speak we'll for his vigilance that
the enterprise was so successful. A prisoner

only refused to participate in the fight, but
used bis best efforts to notify one of the
sentinels what was going on. With pencil
he wrote on an envelope the arrangements
which were being made. and threw It out of
the window on Main street, 50 that the SEN
tinel might pick 1t up; but he failed to dis
cover 1t Till the number specified above had
already gotten out. As soon as the envelope
was found and its contents made known.
which was about one o'clock Thursday
morning, the alarm was given, and soldiers
were sent in every direction in search of the
refugees. Had not the plot been discovered
at the time 1t was, there Is very little doubt
that before morning all the prisoners con-
fined In the building would have escaped
After the discovery was made known to the
officers of the prison, the Yankees who
failed to make their escape became so in.
censed against the informant that 1t was
found necessary to remove him to another
apartment in order to protect him from their
indignation. Upto q late hour last night
two Of the rnnaways had been captured and
brought back.
We are informed by Lieut.. Wilburn that
about 9 o'clock on the same evening three
or four Confederate deserters, confined in
the prison on the north side of Cary street,
effected their escape to the east yard; but,
being discovered, and finding it impossible
to run the gauntlet of the sentinels on duty,
they speedily beat retreat, aud when pur.
sued into the room in which they had been
confined they were found snugly in bed,
seeming as if an attempt to get away bad
never been thought Of by them. The bars
to The prison window had been bent open,
and by this means room enough was made
for mans body to pass through. Constant
vigilance is essentially necessary in taking
care Of such a large number Of prisoners as
are now confined in this city.
