Items from a Rock Creek Miner.

Mr. EDIToR In your issue Of October lst
there is an extract from the Marysyille Ex
press which reads-anoiber title has been
affixed to Geo. B. McClellan-th that of the
American Hoche." 4 German, not very
good on pronunciation, read it TO US the
American Hoax"
Quite number of Bears have been seen
lately in this neighborhood. A miner on his
way from Gravel range to the Chapparel
House, met two bears with couple of cubs,
10 Phillbrook's Valley. To avoid them he
climbed tree, but unfortunately, upon seat
ing himself upon limb, it broke and down
came limb and miner-the Bear passed on,
and the miner took TO his heels-2:40 down
the valley.
In this section every one is busy preparing
for winter, laying in grub, fuel, ect. The days
are remarkably warm nights cool and pleas

written letter to Senator Wade and Heory
Winter Davis, in regard 10 their recent mani
festo, concluding very sensibly as follows:
Pardon me for saying that the eve Of the

making an issue with Mr.. Lincoln, in regard to
either his real or supposed errors. For, from
present indications. 1t is highly probable that
We shall need TO concentrate upon him the
votes of all the loyal voters in order to defeat
the disloyal candidate. Issues With the South
ern rebels aud their Northern friends are the
only ores we can afford to make before the
election. The election of DO loyal man. how
ever faulty be may be, can destroy the nation.
