A Tremendous Scare at Washington


The feeling at Washington about jack
sons's expected raid in that city is in.
tense. A few nights since a sentinel,
four miles from town, hearing q drove of
mules approaching, fired his piece and
ran in, the mules at the same time rum
ming out. A correspondent of the New
York Express says:
Their disorderly retreat, however, did
not delay the excitement; the impress
sion had gone out tina. o cavalry raid, un-
der the command of the ghost, perhaps,
of the departed Ashby, was the advanc.
ing party; the signal gun was fred, and
the long roll beat; There was hurrying
to and fro of brave men," and mount
ing in hot haste" As daylight interven-
ed, the horse which had been shot was
found. and one of the shoes taken from
the hoof served to trace the source from
whence the stampede came. 1t was found
to be the farm Of the widow lady herein
before mentioned, and although it was
soon made manifest that the Confederate
cavalry raid was nothing more than an
escape Of animals from her pasturage, ex-
treme caution induced the authorities to
cause the arrest of all the parties. white
and colored, on the premises, and report
them TO the Office of the Provost Marshal,
some intimat.on having been given out
that formidable scouting party had
been entertained by this lady. Suisse
quent examination, however, proved the

and those badly scared would willingly
have the matter dried up; ~ but it hal

Horrible Murder.

We learn that a Miss Vaughn, Of De-
Soto county. Miss, was outraged few
days since by negro. and afterwards
murdered and thrown into Coldwater
creek. After her body was found, the
negro was traced 10 Memphis, when he
was demanded Of the Federal authorities.
Incredible as it may seem, they refused
to deliver him up. In reply, they coolly
said the negro came to them seeking pro
tection. and he should have it. Thus is a

IN MENoRTAH.-We yesterday morning
briefly announced the death of Lionel Ber-
nard, the commedisn, at Columbus. A
friend has since furnished US with some
facts concerning the deceased which show
him to heye been no ordinary man, but
much to the contrary. He was Bosto-
man by birth, brother to the somewhat
celebrated dramatist Bayle Bernard, and a
man possessed of gifted mind, which had
been cultivated by liberal education. His
life was devoted to his profession, to which
he not only contributed his talent as an &C
tor, but number of popular plays, and at
least enc OPeratta, which was played with
great success in several of the Southern
States. He was poet of no lew degree,
and though few of the productions of his
muse have found their way into print, most
of them have been carefully preserved by
those who appreciated their merit, and
knew the worth of the heart and mind that
dictated them. We have been permitted to
use two specimens-one never having found
its way beyond the leaves of an Album, and
the other published extensively. The one
first below was addressed to his wife before
marriage, and while teeming with eloquent
and beautiful sentiment, is a rich gem of
