Gov. Wade Hampton. Woodruff was
clerk of the Chamberlain Senate, and

A PANIC.

BUCHAREST, August There
was a panic in Simnitza last night,
caused by the arrival of few Cos
sacks at Siskova, who said the Turks
were closely following. The people
OF Sistova thereupon rushed en- mass
to Sfmnitza, followed by the Cos
sacks, who fed beyond. On the
road they came upon convoy OF
Russian transport wagons and spread
panic among drivers, who. leaving
their charge ran in all directions.
This m0rning order was restored by
the arrival of large number of pri-
soners at Sistova, said to have been
captured in a recent engagement by
the army of the Czarowitz on the
Rustchuk Rasgrad line. The irnpe-
rial headquarters are reported to be
still at Biela. A great battle is ex-
pected every moment. The official
report from Belgrade states that
there is considerable activity there
in military circles. The Skuptschi-
ma are holding secret sessions daily
in view of probability Of Servia
arming in the present compaign at
an early date. 1t is now certain
that the Roumanian regular army
of $4,000 is about to cross the Dan
ube, partly at Gerla, below Widdin,
and partly opposite Rahova. Bridge
building material has already been
foated to both places. So
