A NEEDLESS SCARE.

The late scare about guerrilla at
ack on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road was ridiculous farce. Military
officers stated that Gen. Kelly had
telegraphed them that he was going to
be attacked the next morning at both
New Creek and Harpers Ferry. All
trains were accordingly stopped, and
troops were rapidly concentrated
The truth was that a force of perhaps
!,oOO halfstaryed guerrillas had come
down toward Winchester, and de-
taehment of them had. captured last
Monday a supply train of about 80
sent out from New Creek
with an insufficient guard. This was.
the whole extent of the guerrilla in
vasion. Ifthe War Department has
I'D women to find districts for it

THE GRAyE-DIGcER' OF THE
lCHFii iCHICAHONENY. ~

We have been waiting a few d.vs
TO see what reception the nomination.
Of Fitz Napoleon Mcclellan would
have from the Democracy. We
have not waited In vain; for we have
been convinced, after reading the
political horizon, that Mcclellan is
soon to be embraced by the Democ-
racy. His rame suggested by the
so-called Conservatives, which are
made mp offthei rag tag and sbobtail
of the defunct political organiza-
tions, has been furnished theme
for editorial adulation by large por-
ton OF. the Democratic press. It is
evident they are getting Little Mack
into the right condition for swallow
ing. As the boa licks his victim all
over to render him easy of gu1ping,
so the friends Of the grave-digger
are pouring fourth their sickly adala-
ton Of his great military ability and
wise strategy. This nomination. is
undoubtedly the best that could be
made by the democracy. He has
enough of military renown, though
it be built on dead men, to attract
many who wants military leader
of all our generals, no one Of them
would be such capital racer for the
conservatives" as Little Mack
There are very few ofthe treasona-
bic elements at work in the North
that could not be rallied by McCiel-
Ian He has, since disgyacefully or
dered to Trenton, maintained o wise
silence for the most part. We have
no better desire for the opposition
than that they should gulp down the
"great strategist" the ''napoleonic
genius, Fitz Mcclellan the grave
digger of the Chickahomony.-[Sen-

Mr. EpiroR:-A few days since
Gen. Newsom passed on the side,
walk, in Gallipolis, a soldier Of the
23rd o. v. !. Neither spoke. when
the soldier, q little tight.tarned round
and began the most profsre abuse,
because he was not spoken 10, by the
old gentleman; approaching him at
the same time, with his elenched fist,
evidently with the intention of chas-
tising him for not, speaking. He
was readily met, and dared to strike.
The soldier meeting full match
abandoned the idea Of a pugilistic
contest, and gresorted to brickbats
which he threw with q vengeance,
when the old gentleman took up q
good shelslah, and made for the re-
doubtable eombatant, who seeing
chastisement about to be dealt upon
him, took to his scrapers. The old
gentleman followed, overlook, and
chastised him for his insolence.
This is one among q hundred evils
that has grown out Of indiscriminate-
ly selling liquor. This young man
bore the appearance of q gentleman
and a brave soldier, but having been
confined for months in West Va. the
moment he got where it was sold, he
INDUCED too freely, and under the
influence Of that fatal beverage, set
cut to fight or whip, whom he might
chance to meet fit had been q
young man he accosted thus rudely
pugilistie encounter would have
ensued; but as the General is now
about entering upon his eightieth
year, he conld only act on the de-
fensive. The young man was ar
rested by the military authorities
for thus grossly assaulting an old
man, but the old gentleman desired
he should be released. as he thought
he had punished him enough.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn,
Dec. 10Th, 1863.

Mr.. RosE-Sir: / received your
letter of inquiry three days ago,
Just as I was starting away for an alb
sence of two days. 1 had just
been thinking of writing what par
ticulsrs I could gather of your sons
death, when I received your letter.
can guess the anxiety Of friends in
such a case, to hear from their loved
lost ones; no not lost ones but fallen
heroes, who have died that their
country might be preserved. The
story is quickly told as is always the
case on the field of carnage. Itwas
when Turchin's gallant men made
a rapid advance across the low
ground in front of Mission Ridge,
over the enemy's rife-pits and
breast works, charged up the brist-
ling slope, and in advance of all
others storming Ft. Hindman, on the
crest of the hill. Shot and shell
and rife balls were poured upon
them as they advanced, but nothing
could check the resistless fury of
their charge, although the stubborn
enemy held the fort until the last
moment when they yielded only TO
the bayonet "a ~. .
The long and rapid charge up the
steep hill told so on the men,
that many fell exhausted, before
reaching the top and could not come
up Immediately. 1t was only the
strongest who could reach the fort
at once and Emmons, was among
them, fighting with the most determ-
ined bravery. He with few others
had reached the out side of the fort,
which was vet full of the rebels and
only the wall between them When
he was shot, my brother Robert
says, he thinks Emmons, was just in
the act of crossing into the fort, and
Spiers says, he was 'on his knees
firing at the rebels inside, when
bullet from the higher ground in the
front and to the right, struck him in
the right breast, ranging obliquely
and downward through the body,
killing him almost instantly. He
never spoke afterwards as is sup
posed the ball must have passed
near the heart. He is gone, and alasi
how are the brave and noble fallen.
He died hero and true patriot.
He has left record behind him that
cannot be forgotten. \
The character q soldier sustains
among his comrades, is always his
true character, and they say that EN-
nous was one among a very few of
the brayest. That too was always nv
opinion of him, and his Captain says,
he was fearlessly 6race, and mentions
instances Of it when skirmi shing
with the enemy at Cosper's Gap, snd
other places. He bore himself NJ ost
gallantry at South Mountain, at An
tietam, at Chickamauga and last of
all at the glorious but desperate bat !
tie Of Mission Ridge. He was buried
by his comrades on the field Of battle, /
which can be reached at any time
Any further information, 1 will
furnish at any time, and
will give you any assistance in my
power.
Respectfully, ~ .''t
