a BnEAK IN TEE GEORGIA PEN1TEsT1Anr.-As
forty prisoners Of the pententiary woro going out
from their dinner TO work in tho brick ynrd on
Thursday, in turning tho corner at the barracks,
by the guard. Twelve OF tho number were wound
ed, two have since died, and another ono, it is
thought, will die. Tho remainder, though some
are severely, are not thought TO bo dangerously
wounded. All wero captured but one, which ro-
fleets great credit upon the guard for their Ygi-
lance, and will doubtless putu qReins to tho mutt
nous plots and schemes Of this clan of despera-
docs, as their leaders wero tho worst sufferers.
