A Scare.

--Says the Louisville Courier, of the 28th ult.:

Lincoln's troops at Evansville were frightened almost out of their wits the other day, at the report that they were about to be attacked by some Southerners. They sent a boat up the river to scout for them, and were in such a nervous condition that the whole regiment would have incontinently fled had one or two hundred Virginians happened to make their appearance amongst them.
