But the many associations with which he

up. Estepp. Eldrsd, and all the brave
men in the glorious Eighth, regarded
this poor squirrel as one Of the moss,

Excitement at Branienburg.

Persons who arrived here Yesterday on
the Tarascon, report that when that boat
left Brandenburg, about eight o'clock on
Thursday night, the greatest excitement
prevailed there, owing TO reports that
guerrillas were concentrating at Big
Spring, for the purpose of making raid
upon that place. a maa came riding
into Braudenburg from Big Spring
stating that the different bands OF guer.
rillas which have infested the counties
OF Meade, Breckenridge, Hardin and
Grsyson, we're then at Big Spring, pre-
pairing for raid in some direction, aud
from what he heard, il was his impress.
sion that they would attack Brandon
burg
The announcement Of this news spread
through the little town like wild.6re, and
produced perfect Juror of excitement.
Numbers of the citizens left the town,
carrying off with them their money.
horses and other valuables. The person
who brought the information into Bran
deuburg was unable 20 state under whose
command the rebels were, and the &C.
count is probably exaggerated, but yet it
would be we'll for the military to be pre-
pared for any such movement
The facts, as related above, we're given
to us by u well known member ofthe bar
in this city, who had been to Branden.
burg attending the Circuit Court, and
who left there Thursday night at eight
o'clock, and arrived in this city yester-
day morning Persons who have arrived
from there since the gentleman above
alluded to, confirm the report. The
humber Of the rebel forces is vsriously
estimated, one report stating that the
forces combined will amount to thous.
