Soldiers Itclicf Room.
Tho number of siok and. wounded
Soldiers passing through Romo, and of
te.ntimes in a destitute condition, ren
dered it hignly important that stops
should bo taken for their relief. Ao'
cordingly n number of our patriotic cit
izens aided by the soldier’s most devot
ed friond,—the ladies, went to Work and
fitted up a room, where the siok and
wounded soldier on his way home, can
have his wants attended to by his gen
erous and sympathetic countrymen.
As this is a movement that cannot
bo kept up without support, we would
call the attention of our farmers and
citizens generally to the appeal, in con
nection with the action of the Execu
tive Committee, in another column,
and earnestly urge upon our farmer and
tho citizens-generally tho necessity of
coming forward and contributing to
this good work, eithor in money or
provisions. Lot not tho patriotic gen
tlemen and devoted ladles, who have
taken the matter in hand have all the
paying, as well as all the work, to do.—
Remember -it can only be but a moiety
of tho debt of gratitude we owe to our
gallant friends who are standing between
us and tho hated foe. But we feel that
the wants of tho Executive Committee
need only be known to insure a full sup
ply of all necessaries.

Official Report of Col. John H. Mor
gan.
Headquarters, Morgan’s Command, 1
Knoxville, Tenh., July 20, 1802. J
To Major General E.Kirby Smith, Com
manding Department of Hast Tennessee:
General:
1 have tho honor to report thnt, upon
-,the day of the engagement at Tomp-
kinsville, a full report of whioh I have
already sent you, I moved my com
mand, consisting of my own Regiment,
tho Georgia Regiment ef Partisan Ran
gers, commanded by Col. A. A. Hunt,
nnd Major Gnno’s Texas Squadron, to
whioh was altaohed two companies of
Tennossee cavalry, in the direction of
which pluco 1-reached at 12 o’clock that
night.
There were but few troops in tho
tdtvri, who fled at- our approach. Tho
commissary stores, clothing, &o., togeth
er with a largo supply of medical stores
found in Glasgow, were burned, and
the guns distributed among nty com
mand—about 200 of whioh wore unarm
ed when I left Knoxville.
From Glasgow'I proceeded along tho
main Lexington rond to Barron river,
halting for a time near Cave City—my
object being to induce the belief that I
intended destroying tho railroad bridge
between Bowling Green and Woodson-
ville. I caused wires connecting with
a portahlo battery that 1 curried with
me, to bo attached to the telegraph
lino near HorsoCave, and intercepted a
number of dispatches.
At Barren, River I detached three
companies, under Capt. Jack Allen, to
move forward rapidly and destroy tho
Salt River Bridge, that the troops along
the lino of Railroad might bo prevent
ed from roturning to Louisville.
On the following morning 1 moved on
towards Lebanon, distant thirty five
miles from Barron river.. At 11 o’clock
at night I reached the bridge over
Rolling Fork, six miles from Lebanon.
The enemy had received information
of my approach from their spies, nnd
my advance guard was fired upon at
tho bridge. Alter.a short fight, the
force at the bridge was dispersed, and
the planks which had been torn up,
having been replaced, the command
moved forward to Lebanon. About
two miles from tho town a skir
mish commenced, between two compa
nies that I caused to dismount and de
ploy, and. a force of the enemy posted
on the road, which which was soon end
ed by its dispersion and capture. Lieut.
Col. A. Y. Johnson, commanding the
troops in tho town, surrendered, nnd I
entered the plneo. Tho prisoners ta
ken, in number about sixty-five, were
parolod.
1 took immediate possession of tho
telegraph, nnd intoreepted a dispatch
to Col. Johnson, Informing him that
Col. Owens, with the 60th Indiana regi
ment, had been sent to his assistance;
so I at onoe dispatched a company of
Texas Rangers, under Maj. Ga.no, to de
stroy tho railroad bridge on tho Leban
on branch, which he successfully accom
plished, in time to prevent tho arrival
of the troops. I burned two long buil
dings full of commissary stores, con
sisting of upwards of five hundred
sucks of coffuo, and a large amount of
all other'supplies in bulk, marked for
the army at Cumberland Gap. I also
destroyed a very largo amount of cloth
ing, boots, &c. 1 burned the hospital
buildings, which appeared to hnvo been
recently erected and tilted up, togeth
er with about thirty-five wagons and
fifty-three now ambulances. I found
in the placo a large store of medicines,
fivo thousand stand of arms with ac
coutrement, about two thousand sabres,
und an immense quantity of ammuni
tion, shell, &o. 1 distributed the best
arms among my command, and loaded
ono wagon with thorn to bo given to the
recruits that .1 expected to join mo. 1
also loaded one wagon will} ammuni
tion,. The remainder of tho arms, am
munition, und the hospital and medical
stores, I destroyed.
While in Lebanon I ascertcincd from
telegruphio dispatches that I intercept
ed, that the force whioh had been start
ed from Lebanon Junction to feinforue
Lieut. Col. Johnson, had met and driven
back the force under Capt. Allen, kill
ing one of his men and preventing him
from accomplishing tho work for which
he was detailed.
I proceeded, from Lebanon on tho fol
lowing day, through Springfield to
Macksvillo, at which point 1 was attack
ed by Home Guards. Two of my men
were taken prisoners, and one severely
wounded. I remained at Mucksville
that night to recover tho prisoners,
which 1 did the next morning. I then
’left for Harrodsburg, capturing a Fede
ral captain and lieutenant on the road ;
reached tlarrodsburg at 12J o’clock,
and found that the Home Guard of all
that portion of country had fled to Lex
ington. A force was ulso stationed on
the bridge where tho Lexington road
crossed the Kentucky River. My re
caption at this plneo was very encourag
ing. The whole population appeared
to turn out, and vie with each other
ns to who should show the most atten
tion.
train was warned of our presence and
returned to Frankfort. Having taken
possession 1 of tho telegraph office, I in
tercepted a dispatch asking if the road
was clear, and if it would be safo to
start tho train front Lexington. I re
plied to send tho train, ana made pre
paration to receive it; but it was also
turned back and escaped.
I reached Georgetown, 12 miles from
Lexington, .thnt evening. Just before
entering tho town, I was informed that
a small foroe of nome Guards had mus
tered to oppose us.—I sent them word
to surrender their arms, nnd'they should
not be molested, but they fled.—The
people of Georgetown also welcomed
us with gladness, and provided my
troops with everything thnt they need
ed. I remained at Georgetown two
days, during which timo I sent out a
company under Capt. McMillan to de
stroy the track between Midway and
Lexington, nnd Midway and Frankfort,
nnd to blow up tliostoho bridge on that
l-oud, which ho successfully accomplish
ed, Hearing that a company of Home
Guards were encamped at "Stamping
Ground,” thirteen miles dlatant, 1 dis
patched a company under Capt. Hamil
ton to break up tho encampment, burn
the tents and stores, and destroy tlio
guns. This was also accomnlished—
Capt. Hamilton taking fifteen prison
ers and all their guns, and destroying a
large amount of medical and commis
sary supplies. I also, while at George
town, sent Capt. Castleman with nis
company to destroy the railroad bridg
es between Paris and Lexington, and
report to mo at Winchester. This was
done.
The Corn Crord—We had tho plea
sure of meeting the Hon. Simon Oliver,
of Desoto, who has just returned irom
a tour eastward. Major Oliver brings
sad intelligence of the effects of the
drouth in certain latitudes. Tho ciops
are past ail hope in the vicinity of Mont
gomery, including a strip of country
extending oast and west sixty or sov
enty miles north.—Mississippian.
Buying Legs.—It is stated that an
appropriation of fifteen thousand dol
lars has been made by the Lincoln Con
gress for artificial limbs for wounded
Yankee soldiers. The amount is in
sufficient. It wouldn’t buy too-nails,
let alone leg and arms. Fifteen mil
lions would be more like the thing.

persed about fifteen hundred Home
Guards, and paroled nearly twelve hun
dred regular troops. I lost in killed,
wounded nnd missing, of tho number
that I carried into Kentucky, about
ninety.
I take great pleasure in testifying to
the gallant bravery and efficiency of
my whole command. There were indi
vidual instances of dnring so conspe-
cuqus thnt I must bog the privilege of
roferring to them. Private Moore of
Louisiana, a member of Company A. of
my regiment, particularly distinguish
ed himself in leading, a charge at
Cynthiana, which had an important ef
fect in winning the battle. The reports
of the.regimontal commanders which
are inclosed aro respectfully referred to
for further instances of individual bra
very and efficiency. 1 feel indebted to
all my nids for the promptness with
whioh my ordors were executed, and
particularly to Col. St. Legor Grenfol,
for tho ussistance which his experience
afforded me.
All of whioh is respeotfully submit
ted.

I left Harrodsburg at fi o’clook the
same evening, nnd moved to Lawrence-
burg, twenty miles distant, threatening
Frankfort, in order to draw off the
troops from Georgetown. Remained
jthere until, tho return of my cornier
r from Frankfort, who brought the infor
mation that there wa6 a force in Frank
fort of two or three thousand men, con
sisting of Hoipe Guards collected from
the'ndjacent counties and a tew regular
troops.
From Lawrenceburg I proceeded to
Shry Ices’ Ferry, on the Kentucky river,
raised the boat, which had been sunken
and crossed that evening, reaching Ver
sailles at 7 o’clock. I found this piaoe
abandoned by its defenders, who had
fled to Lexington; remained there that
night, and on the next morning march
ed towards Georgetown. Whileat Ver
sailles I took about 300 government
horses and mules.
I passed through Midway on the road
to Georgetown, and was informed just
before reaching tiie place, that a train
fiiom Frankfort was nearly due, with
two regimen ts of Federals. I tore up
the track and posted the howitzers to
command it, and formed my command
along tho line of the road; but the
Determining to move on Paris, with
a view of returning, and hearing that
the place was being rapidly reinforced
from Cyntlmr.a, 1 deemed it of great
importance to out oft’ the communica
tion from (hat place, while I drew off
the troops that were already there, by
a feint on Lexington. I therefore die-,
patched a portion of two companies to
wards Lexington, with instructions to
.drivo the pickets to the' very entrance
of- the city, while I moved tho command
toward Cynthiana. Whend-mDived in
three miles of tho place 1 learned that
it was defended by a considerable foroe
of infantry, cavalry, nnd artillery. I
dispatched the Texas squadron, under
Mm. Gano, to enter the town on the
right, und the Georgia regiment to cross
the river and get into tho rear, while I
moved my own regiment, with the ar
tillery under the command of Lieut.
J. E. Harris, down the Georgetown
Piko. A severe engagement took place
whioh lasted about an hour and a half,
before the enemy were dr'.von into the
town and compelled to surrender. I
took four hundred and twenty prison
ers, including about seventy Home
Guards. I regret to have to mention
the loss of, eight of my men in killed
and 29 wcunded. The enemy’s loss
was ninety-four killed and wounded,
according to their own account. • Their
excess in killed and wounded is remar
kable as they fought us from behind
stone fences and fired at us from build
ings as wo charged through tho town.
Wo captured a very fine 12-pounder
brass pieco of artillery, together with a
large number-of small arms, and about
three hundred government horses. The
arms and government stores were burn
ed, and ns many of the horses as Wo
could bring with us were kept. • 1 found
a very largo supply of Sommissnry nnd
medical stores, tents, guns,, and ammu
nition, at this place, which I destroyed.
Tlie paroled prisoners were sorit un
der an escort to Falmouth, where they
took the tiuin for Cincinnati.
I proceeded next morning towards
Paris, and was mot on the road by a
bonrer of a flag of truce, offering the
unconditional surrender of the place.
I'reaohcd Paris at-4 o’clock, remained
there that night, and started towards
Winchester next morning. As my
command was filing’ out of Paris, on
tho Winchester Pike, I discovered a
large force of Federals coming towards
the town, from th« direction of Lex
ington. ' They immediately counter
marched, supposing, no doubt, that my
intention was to get into their reur.
This enabled me to brihg off my entire
command without molestation, with
tho exception of two of my pickets
who wore probably surprised. I reach
ed Winchester that' day at twelve
o’clock, and remained until 4o’clock,
when I proceeded towards Richmond.
At Winchester I found a number of
arms, which were destroyed.
I arrived at Richmond at 12 o’clock
that night, and remained until the next
afternoon, when I proceeded to Crab
Orchard. - 1 had determined to make a
stand at Richmond, and await rein
forcements, ns the wholo people ap
peared ready to rise arid join me, but I
received information that largo bodies
of cavalry uuder Geii. Olay Smith, and
Cols. Woolford, Metcalf, Mundy, and
W ynkoop, were endeavoring to surround
me at this place. So I moved on to
Crab Orchard. There I attached my
portable battery to tbo telegraph lead
ing from Stanford to Louisville, and
learned tho exact position of the ene
my’s forces, and directed my move
ments accordingly,
Leaving Crab Orohard at 11 o’clock;
I arrived at Somerset, "distant twenty-
eight miles, at Sundown. I took pos
session of the telegraph, and counter
manded all the previous orders that
had been given by Gon. Boyld to inter
cept me, and remained in perfect se
curity all night. I found a very lurge
supply of oommissary stores,.clothing,
blankets, shoes, hats, &o., at this place,
which were destroyed. I also fount
the arms that had been taken from
Gen. Zolliooffer, together with large
quantities of shell and ammunition, all
of which were destroyed. I also burn
ed n t this place, and Crab Orohard,
about ono hundred and thirty govern
ment wagons.
From Somerset I proceeded -to Mon-
ticcllo, and. from thence to -between
Livingston and Sparta, where my- com
mand is now encamped,
I left Knoxville on the 4th day of
this month with about nine hundred
men, and returned to Livingston on
the 28th instant with nearly twelve hun
dred, having been absent just twenty-
four days, during whioh time I traveled
ovor a thousand miles, oaptured seven
teen towns, destroyed -all tho govern
ment supplies and arms in' them, dis-
