SUDDEN DEATH OF FEANCIs J. GRUND.-
The sudden death OF Mr.. F. J. Grund was an
nounced yesterday by telegraph. Mr.. Grund
had lately cut himself loose from the dem
ocratic party and given his support to Gov.
Curtin in the pending election On Tuesday
night, large and turbulent crowd, it appears,
started to serenade Gen. Mcclellan, and as
they passed the house of Mr.. Grund, some
persons il the crowd gave series Of groans,
and with lighted matches, proceeded TO exam
inc tbs names and numbers upon the doors, at
the same time cheering for Woodward, the
democratic candidate for Governor. &c. Mr..
Grund was man Of full habit and very ex.
citable, and fearing violence from the crowd
on account Of his recent change Of opinion, he
fastened to police station to procure force
for the protection OF himself and property.
On his arrival at the station house he was
exhausted from over excitement, and could
only say, in tone almost inaudible, Send
for q doctor-bleed me-" DR.. Huston was At
once summoned, but it was too late. In few
minutes after leaving his home Mr. Grund
was corpse. His death was caused by apo.
plexy, NO doubt induced by alarm and excite.
Mens.
A dispatch says:-"There was no disposition
manifested by the assemblage, beyond q few
groans by come persons, to do any injury to
Mr.. Grund, as they passed bis house quickly
and proceeded to the residence Of the mother
Of Gen. Mcclellan"

-Ao-
We have Richmond Examiner Of Saturday
last, Sept. Goth, brought by Messrs Scully and
Lewis, two Union men, who were captured
nearly two years ago, and confined in Libby
prison, and have just been released
Walter LeLox, Ex-Mayor of Washing ton,
figures in the Examiner as a witness in a whis.
ky shop row. 1t appears that a gambler
named John r. James, who it will be remem.
bered was for time confined in the Old Capt.
tol Prison and was sent south, made desper-
ate assault upon a man named James MCGEE
at drinking saloon called ssThe Alabama"
Lenox was present and consequently was a
witness. James claimed to be a good Confed.
crate and said he had served Is months In the
rebel army.
The Examiner also records the shooting of
Spencer Kellogg, who deserted from the Con-
federate service at the battle Of Shiloh, and
was subsequently found in the rebel lines and
tried and convicted as a spy.
The Examiner says that nearly all of the
Union prisoners captured are loaded down
with counterfeit Confederate money, and COM
plains that they are not tried and punished

From Chattance.a.

We have very little direct news this morning
from the Army Of the Cumberland; but all tina.
wehave is favorable, both as re CARDS the present
ard the future. It ID not likely now that Bragr
will attack General Rosecrans in his intrenchsd
position; and ii he should, it is almost certain
that he would be rppulsed. This is the opinion
of those who understand the position. Colonel
Wilder arrived at Indianapolis on Saturday,
direct from the army. At the time he left,
Burnside and Grierson, with reinforcements,
had been heard from. Their arriv al will render
still more secure the defensive position held at
Chattanooga.
As matters now stand, an immediate renewal
Of the contest for the repossession of E ist Ten.
likely there will be no fighting until General
Rosecrans assumes the offensive. The report
is that Bragg is being reinforced This is
doubtless correct. The rebels have made
Dooga, which is the key to East Tennessee.
They have fought two great battles already,
and sacrificed fifteen thousand men, a. least
in an effort to disperse or capture the Army of
the Cumberland. They inflicted heavy loss
on US, but gained no ground. They must alb
before they can grasp the prize they have been
fighting for. This we may be sure they will
attempt. To this end they are still further
weakening other armies. Rosecrans is also
being reinforced
Our Government understands and appreci-
ates the importance of East Tennessee, and our
efforts to hold it will be equal at least to the
rebel efforts to reposses it. The prospect, then,
is that the greatest battle of war will be fought
in Northern Georgia; but if the rebels are max
| ing the preparations we suppose they are, and
F.! which they must feel to be necessary to sue
cess it is not probable that the next great clash
| of arms will occur for two or three weeks

MosEBY's GANG AT WORK NEAR ALExAN.

The Alexandria Neps of Tuesday last says
that it was reported there that day, that the
night before, Moseby, with one hundred and
fifty guerrillas, dressed in Federal uniform,
made a raid about mile from Fort Ellis worth,
and captured two farmers, William Reed and
Lewis Tresler, and attempted to fire bridge
on the Fairfax road, near George d. Fowle's
farm. From Mr.. Tresler they took some 5000
in gold and $50 or $40 in Treasury notes, and
then released him and Mr.. Reed. Before re-
leasing these gentlemen some of the guerrillas
informed them that they were going to May
nader Mason's to carry q dispalcn to Colonel
Dulaney, aid to Coy. Pierpont, who makes his
home there. The fact OF the capture of Colonel
Dulaney was subsequently communicated to
the Provost Marshal at Alexandria. Moseby is
said to have commanded this gang in person.
The Alexandria News of yesterday evening
says:
Moseby, while on his way down on Monday,
with his gang of guerrillas, passed within half
sets cavalry, whose headquarters are at Cen
treville. He seems to have no fears Of capture
and but little trouble in penetrating our lines
On Thursday last he captured near SPRING
field Station, two teams, consisting of four
mules each. It seems strange that our military
without strong escort
Guerrillas seem to be about as plentiful in
Fairfax county as our own troops, and much
more active. Until regiment is stationed at
Fairfax Court House and another at Vienna.
we may anticipate the continued and frequent
depredations OF these bands.
Col. Dulaney was heard from yesterday. At
three o'clock yesterday morning he was IN the
charge Of Moseby and between 80 and 20 guer-
rillas.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT In NASH.
WILLIE,

CINCINNATI, Oct. IA special dispatch to
the Commercial from Nashville says About
three hundred rebel prisoners confined In an
extensive unfinished Hotel known as the
MAXWELL house, were precipitated from the
fifth story through gangway, fitted up with
temporary stairs to the second floor.
The prisoners made simultaneous rush to
breakfast. The stairs gave way under the I'M
usual weight. Two men were taken out of
the ruins dead, and two have since died of
their injuries. Ninety six others were injured;
some Of them have both legs and arms broken.
others are more seriously mangled.

Incidents of the Battles in Georsia-Our
Captures of Prisoners-Narrow Escape
of Gen. Reynolds.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 3O-No special news has
been received from Rosecrans this morning;
and we have no rumors by the grape vine tele-
graph.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial furnishes the following interesting incl
dents Of the recent battles in Northern Geor-
gia:
hundred prisoners and brought them to Chat
tanooga, marching them along with our re-
treating and disorganized forces on Sunday at
ternoon. Longstreers men could be easily
distinguished by their soldierly bearing and
excellent clothing. All the prisoners, how.
ever, were comfortably clad.
Seen. Reynolds had q narrow escape from
capture on Sunday afternoon. He was sur
rounded by Rebel infantry while rail- ying some
of his men, and barely succeeded in eluding
them.
Few wagons were lost. It was fortunate
that the enemy's cavalry did not attempt to
harrass them during Sundays disorder. In
deed they took no part in the action being APP
parently disheartened by their many recent
defeats.
"Probably not less than two thousand of our
badly wounded fell into the hands OF the enc
my. Those who were slightly wounded es-
capped. The road from Chattanooga to Bridge
port, q distance Of forty miles, was lined with
the slightly wounded, walking to the latter
point to embark for Nashville. Details OF sur
geons were made from our army TO remain with
the wounded who fell into the enemy's hands.
alt was fortunate circumstance for our
army that the country in the rear Of Sundays
fight is remarkably open and abound in sc veral
good roads, all leading to Chattanooga The
enemy held but two Of these roads, and many
OF our straegles escaped by the remaining ones.
Considering his achievement in crushing one
OF our wings, it is, indeed, strange that the
number Of prisoners taken by him does not ex-
coed the number secured by ourselves.

REBEL NEWS FROM CHATTANOOGA,
The Richmond Wing of the a9th, says:


"The policy OF concentration, advocated as
long ago as last May, has at length been
adopted, and its results are before us in the
crouching attitude of Rosecrans' army, which
seems, however, not to have been destroyed, as
announced in q recent sanguine bulletin. 4
1t is impossible to say what Rosecrans' exact
situation may be. Northern accounts do not

THE REBEL COL. PIPER

Col. j. 8 Piper, whose committal to the Old
Capitol as a rebel Spy we noticed Yesterday,
addressed a statement to Capt. Todd day or
two since while under parole, to the truth of
which he expressed himself willing to qualify,
in which he declares that he went South pre-
yious to the war-that he made number of
Intellectual attempts to get North, and he never
was in the rebel service.
Against this statement. however, Capt. Todd
has number OF letters addressed by the pris-
soner to his wife in this city in 1861, and which
were taken from Piper's residence at the time
Of the arrest of his wife, some twelve months
ago. The following are extracts from these
