The party were by no means undaunted, and with penknives and pocket-knives they commenced operations upon the stone and mortar. After nineteen days and nights' hard work they again struck the earth beyond the wall, and pushed their work forward. On the 6th or 7th of February the working party supposed they had gone a sufficient distance, and commenced to dig upwards. When near the surface they heard the rebel guards talking above them, and discovered they were some two or three feet yet outside the fence. The displacing of a stone made considerable noise, and one of the sentinels called to his comrade and asked him what the noise meant. The guards, after listening a few minutes, concluded that nothing was wrong and returned to their beats. This hole

ndrick and his party. A long narrative here follows of the sore trials and hair-breadth escapes of the "gallant" Kendrick and his party; the valuable assistance rendered by the friendly negroes; of their meeting with a negro woman working in a field, who told them that the rebel pickets had been about there looking for the fugitives from the Libby; of the indescribable feelings of Col. Kendrick, when, within ten miles of Williamsburg, he saw the "old flag," supported by a detachment of Col. Spear's cavalry; and of their final entrance into Williamsburg. The Union feeling in Richmond. No inconsiderable portion of this "exciting narrative" is devoted to a description of the Union feeling in Richmond, much more prevalent, and decidedly more intense, according to this account, than we had supposed.

"Virtuous" Neal Dow declined to make the attempt, on the ground that he did not wish to have his Government back down from its enunciated policy of exchange.--His brother officers appealed to him and reasoned with him; but Neal would not leave.

Before starting, the prisoners had divided themselves into squads of two, three and four and each squad was to take a different route, and after they were out were to push for the Union lines as fast as possible.
