Attempted Rescue of Rebel Prisoners--We learn that on Wednesday last a number of rebels came into the village of Sutton, in Braxton county, and attempted to rescue Kuhl and Windar [Windon], the two rebels confined there for the murder of a United States soldier, and who are under sentence of death. The attempt to rescue was a total failure, and the two men were publicly executed last Friday.
