A SCARE FOR THE CZAR.

One Sunday night, when the Emperor was camped at Czarevica, a few miles south of Sis'.ova, tbere was a sudden alarm. A Cossack* rod o in with a hurriedly scribbled despatch from the telegraph clerk at the bridge across the Danube, to the effect that the Turks were marching from Nicopolis, on Sistova, and threatening to sever the Russittin communications, destroyed the bridge, and compromise the safety of the Emperor. Immediate steps had to be taken. Oue brigade of tbe eleventh Corps was in Czarevica. The other brigades of the same corps were forwarded.
