“ltinaldo” that he would pull off this port for Ihe
purpose of communicating With him, that gen
tleman proceeded to Fort Morgan on Friday, np
eompauitJ by the .French Consul, Mr, Portz, and
a few friends. The Confederate gnnboat “Gaines,”
Oapiain Hunter, whs placed at the disposition of
tin; Consul, Joseph E Murrell, C.S. A., going as
the Officer in charge of the white flag. After a.
rapid and delightful run to the Fort, the way be
ing cheered by the warm hospitality cf the com
mander of the “Gaines” and a delicious sea
breeze, which met. the party midway of the trip,
tno Consul aud his suite were transferred to the
Muff-bout “Crescent,” Captain Blakeslee. With
the. British ensign in the siern and the white flag
at the fore, the “ Crescent” soon turned her pret
ty prow seaward and steamed direct for the
blockading fleet. The “Gaines” did not go out
oft account, of the excessive “neutrality” which
Lord Lyons has imposed on all H. M.’s cruisers
near Confederate ports. They are not allowed to
run into Confederate ports, salute the Confeder
ate flag, and scarcely to be polite to Conferate
people. The last part of the prohibition Lord
Lyons has not jet been cbie to emorce upon either
British olficsrs or British tars. Pie. Butler
thought so, when the sailors cf this very ship,
While lying off New Orleans, constantly made the
weMkin.ring wild their favorite song, ,f The Bou
rne Blue Fiag.'’
The “Crescent” steered straight for the flag
ship of the Yankee squadron, the Susquehannah.
That ship socn ran a white flog to her tore, and
the “Crescent” passing close under her stern,
Cap'. BiukeS'Ce informed her he had the British
: Consul on bend, who desired to communicate with
the “Rmaldo.” Th? Y ankee officer replied “cer
tainly,” and that ended the brief colloquy. Hav
ing taken a good look at the,Yankee frigate aud
her consorts, the slcop of-war “Preble” (which
Commodore Hollins didn’t sink in the Mississip
pi) and a gunboat, the sUeution cf the party was
.at once directed to the British visitors—for it ap
i sated there were two—the steam gunboat
“Lnnriraii,” Captain Martin, mounting five' guns,
and the sloop-of war “Rinaldo,” 17 guns Capt.
Hewitt. The • Landrail” Rt-amed up to the
“Crescent”"and sent a boat with an officer along
side After the consular party had been enler
t jined on board, and plied with eager questions
for var news, the party was transferred to the
slocp-of war, She wus fi-und to be a beautiful
model, and a firstrnfe men of war of UeF class,
and, like her conso, t, splendidly officered and
nia"’neii. The fruits aud vegetables carried down
in generous piles along with the haring
mounted her decks, u couple of hours wire pass
ed in agreeable conversation, and in discussing
English cheese and ale, and sardines, clartt aud
ice in the Captatn’scouifor'abletcabia.
Captain Hewitt is a yourg man, looking not
more than 25 years, with a Striking face, lighted
up by black piercing eyes, and in torn ed by a
hue mouthful at' vtiy w hite teeth. The ship had
le’.tNeW Orleans the day before, and the news
was prevalent when she" left that S cClellan had
taken B chuiotd andso,<x>o Confederate prisonOis.
j They were evidently not sorry io loam c-u board
ihai, ou the contrary, Mac. had been driven back

thies of the officers and men, which was betrayed
bv looks and actions, where wolds could noi be
used. When going from one ship to another,
and one fifths party spoke to the officer of Con
federate successes, the crew overhearing, seem
ed scarcely able to restraiu a cheer. Bui discip
line prevailed, aud they only looked their satis
faction.
After a most interesting visit, the “Crescent"
once more received the consular party, and part
ing under a Consul's salute from the “Rmaldo”
steamed hues to the Fort.
The deck of the “Gaines” was soon regained
and dinner, smoking, and three bonra’ steaming

on th,e tobacco sensation bass had no parallel in
this country since the morus-muiti 1001-us mania
of “8G fitid 37.” 1 hope however, it may prove a
more substantial bubble than that grandest hum

Tompkinrvii.le, Ky., July 9, 186 2.
Dear Sperry : We had an elegant’ little fight
this morning beiore breakfast, and cleaned out a
Y r aukee encampment a3 completely as it ever was
done by any one. They had breakfast cooked,
but had not lime io eat it.
With theif usual-generosity, wiieu acting with
out previous calculation, they left us many valua
ble trophies, such as watches, Ijorses, very ijttic
cash, abundance of provision - ., something to
drink, blankets, aud huge piles of ready-made
clothinir and Union stationery, aca last, bat uot
least, quite a number of their carcasses some
‘ gone under,” some a going, and ethers well and
hearty.
Morgan is a trump, aud deserves tbe reputation
he baa so nobly fought for. 1 have no particu
lars to give, as I expect to prepare a book on my
return. Yours, Ac, E.
From Col. Bermett, we learn the following par
ticulars. The Y'ankee lorce attacked consisted of
five companies, 270 men, of the 7th Pennsylvania
regiment, commanded by Major Thomas Jordan,
whom Capt. B. brought with him as prisoner, and
has handed him over to Headquarters here. Col.
Morgan surprised them while they were prepar
ing breakfast, killing J 4, wounding over 40, and
capturing 30 prisoners. Tbe lest
01 Col Morgan’s force, none wero killed aud only
two slightly wemded. The result of the victory
was that the whole camp and stores fell into oiu
baud'* consisting of tents, 100 head of stock,
horses’ and mules; eight wagrtnu and harness ;
one ambulance and harness : 160 carbides and
rifles -a fine lot of side arni3, aud a large quan
tity ot ammunition; a fine lot of provisions, cloth-
Owing to the locality, Col, Morgan was com
pelled to burn a large poltion of his spoils, con
listing of all the wagons but one, all the tents and
270 new Yankee uniforms—the force having just
been newly equipped, but not yet having nad
time to don their new apparel.
This Yankee force has lately been marauding
in Fentress and Overton counties, commi-fting
many depredations and outrages.
Wa regret to learn that Col. Hunt, of the Geor
gia caval.y, was accidentally wounded very jsri
a-jslr in tbs leg by one of hi3 own men.
| i,V‘e rejoice to bear, however, that Capt. Liewel
-1 !rn the Quartermaster of the regiment, was not,
as reported here sdrae day.-, ago, killed by the
bushwhackers in the mountain. A man by his
side, named O’Brien, was killed.,. Three of the
bushwhackers were caught by the force the same
day, and lodged in jail in Sparta. Four mor-, we
learn, have since been captured by Col-Garden
hire.

Wuii tho exception of the executive sessions of
