A rajiid aaecvsKtmt of succeMtfbl asxaulta by lireaelting purtie*, itnpcra tively enjoined a ftirthvr tax on Fed eral ingenuity, and mint her brilliant coti(-option struggled into life. At four o'clock, every afternoon, the axes of the priaonor*, were told by careful count, and if one w»« lacking, u vig- YttotiH search was inxtitutod and con tinued until the missing implement was delivered up to Federal custody. On a few occasions the whole camp wax kept standing in line for hours, while a fruitless search weut forward, ami alter both Federal and Confed erate patience were well nigh ex hausted, the delinquent article was found Itcside the wood-pile of some careless Yankee. Usually, however, every axe waa in it* rack by the ap|x>lnled time, anti the ollh-er* composed themselves nightly m confident security.

'I he fciiea was doiihki and cross* plunked, nml in the absence of urlilery, or a battering engine, a breach became iinposxihle. A few- men afterwards escaped by keniilt , but the Ini/.ard of this inode I of exit was too extreme to be risked, saving at long intervals, when pr<x I traeUxi seasons of unrewarded vigi | lance had inspired the. gun®s with careb s conlbiettee.

Workmen were engaged in repnir ing the leaky r«x»f of a barrack near] the fence. They went to dinner, leav ing a ladder standing against the eaves. .Shultz and tlie Italian seized it, and in broad noon-.lay, rushed to the fence, planted the ladder against the wall,and jumped safely over, amid a shower of bullets and the cheers of all the prisoners who witnessed the daring feat. Before others could fol low, or the prisoners fairly understood the meaning ol the commotion, bayo nets glistened on every sale, and the long roll resounded through tlte Fed eral quarter*, alarming the peaceful, inhabitants of the snhurim. . j The audacity of the deed was the scen t of its complete success, for the nearest sentinel*' were •<> dumbfounded that they did not even fire. Not long afterward* a small party sent into the Federal square to work against their will, by some means got possession of a ladder and tried a like experiment. Hut the surprise was not so complete ns before, anil of tlte half dozen, several w ere shot, and all retaken. Although a less daring act than the first, it stirred the blood of tlie whole camp. From the top bunks of the barracks, next to tlte southern fence, many of us witnessed it all.
