Exploits of Ca.pt. J no. H. Morgan.
OFFICIAL REPORT.
Capt. John 11. Morgan the bolt! dash
ing- partisan of Kentucky, is winning
for himself an enviable fame. Even
the Yankees, whom his untirring energy
keeps in continual terror, aie forced to
confess admiration for his adventur
ous daring. We give below Morgan’s
own account of a recent expedition of
his command to a point north of Nash
ville. His appearance and deeds in
the rag-ion caused a terrible flutter
among- the enemy, have already been
noticed in the papers:
Shklbyv.lle, Tenn,, March 19.
Maj. Gen. W. J. Hardee,
Comnirnanding Ist Division:
Sir: I have the honor to submit the
following report of the operations of a
portion of my command on the 15th
16th, 17th and 18th inst. At about 4
o’clock, p m., on the 15th inst., with
Colonel Wood and a detachment of 4q
men, I left Murfreesboro’ for Gallatin,
having learned that no Federal forces
remained at that place. The chief ob
jects of the expedition were to inter
cept. the mail, to destroy the rolling
stock on the road, to make prisoners,
and to obtain information of interest
to the service.
Our destination was kept secret and
the command having been sent from
Murfreesboro’ in separate parties, by
different roads, to unite at some dis
tance from town, it was impossible that
the enemy could be apprised ot the
movement until the blow was struck.—
Citizens of Murfreesboro’, whoso zeal
and loyalty is undoubted, made the
necessary arrangements of runners to
keep us perfectly posted as to any move
ments that might be made with the
view of cutting us off.
Our first march conducted mostly at
night carried us about two miles be
yond Lebannon. Eatly next morning
continued the march crossing the Cum
b.-rland at Canoe Branch Ferry, and
reached Gallatin about 4P. M. Leav
ing the command just outside the town
Lieut. Col. Wood of Wirt Adam’s cav
alry, myself and the men disguised as
Federals, entered and took possession.
The Colonel, myself, and two men gal
loped to the depot and secured the tel
egraph operator his instruments, books
etc Among the papers found are sev
eral orders of Geh. Buell’s, some in ci
pher which please find enclosed. We
secured also, a few minutes after, as it
came in, an engine and tender, carry
ing a number of carpenters to repair
the road; they were made prisoners but
as we left the town. As soon as the '
citizens were made aware that we were i
Confederate troops facility was afford
ded us to carry out our plans. Upon
securing the engine we at once com
menced to accumulate all the rolling
stock (a large quantity) on the main
track preparatory to burning. When
this was complete the fire was applied
and in the course of an hour all except
the engine was rendered permanently
useless. That night having picketted
securely weremained in Gallatin. The
next morning we destroyed the water
tank, and taking the engine the Colonel
and myself proceeded some miles up the
road with a view of discovering any
approach of the enemy or the mail
train, the meantime a Ist lieutennant
and four privates of Gridci’s regiment
(Federals) 011 their way to Nashville,
were taken prisoners by our pickets.—
The mail train being some hours behind
time, and learning that our presence
might have become known, we conclu
ded to withdraw and retu nto Murfrees
boro.
Shortly after leaving Gallatin we
learned that a party of twenty of the
enemy, in charge of three prisoners,
we aproaching Gallatin by the Scotts
ville road. It was determined to cut
them off’. Pushing the prisoners, with
a guard across, the Cumberland, we
returned to effect the capture. We had (
taken our position on the road, so as t>k
secure the capture of all, but unfortu
nately, when within a half a mile ol
them, they warned of danger by a ne
gro and fled precipitately to the woods,
i* l command of the party
escano on a horse cut from
No further opportunity
offering, we resumed our march, and
after travelling about sixty miles,
leached Murfreesboro about 2 o’clock
next morning.
We were made acquainted, just be
fore reaching the town, that a body of
Federal Cavafy had ridden though the
evening before, and that the cmerny
were in large force near by. We re
mained about twelve miles from town
long enough to ascertain their
exact locality, and then passed salejy
through, within two miles of their in
fantry. We reached Shelbyville about
four o’clock I’. M. to-day, the men ami
horses a good deal jaded. Yesteiday
several transports passed down the
Cumberland carrying the remnant of
Gen’l Thomas’ division; as our party
had not entirely crossed, wo did not
fire into them. From all we could learn
the enemy has commenced Io move. A
large body of cavalry was seen on the
the road to Columbia It is believed
that the enemy have sent, a large force
down the Tennessee by boats, and will
also move in force across the country.
It is reported in Nashville that they in
tend to end the campaign before June.
The prisoners will be sent forward in
the three, o’clock train to-morrow.
I have omitted to mention that be
fore leaving Gallatin the engine was
destroyed, thus leaving but one on the
road.
I have ascertained beyond the doubt
that Love, a man of my command, who
was taken prisoner in the affair of the
Sth instant, (since dead) was shot by
the enemy after being taken.
The whole country through which we
passed turned out in masses to wel
come us. I have never before witness
ed such enthusiasm and feeling. Men,
women and children never wearied in
their efforts to minister to our wants
All expressed themselves gratified at
the preence of Southern soldiers in their
efforts to minister to our wants. All
expressed th emselvcs gratifield at pres
ence of Southern soldiers in (heir midst.
A handsome flag was presented to ü
by the ladies of Gallatin, and some act
companied us even to the ferry.
Upon our return a number of Colonel
Bates’ regiment were enabled to ac
company us.
Very respectfully, yours.

A Yankee Account of John Morgan.
The following sketch of Captain
John Morgan, the well known Confed
erate scout, we take from a letter of
a Nashville correspondent of the New
York Times:
The name of this mysterious ma
rauder is on the lips of every one, for
his daring coolness and disregard o
fear has become a by word even
among our own army. This Col John
Morgan for so he styles himself—is said
to be a native of Lexington, Ky., whose
father was a respectable manufacturer
of jeans. From his youth this Morgan
has won the admiration of all who know
him- for bis dare devil recklessness
which even now does not seem to have
diminished in the least. We first heard
of him when onr brigade( he Sth) was
a portion of them, encamped at Pilot
Knob Mo., in September last. Our
pickets were shot by some mysterious
agency, and repor s state, in camp
that a tall heavy man, with flowing
board, mounted on an immense black
s illion, fl jet as the win 1, was sjver .il
times detected in the act of retreating
.Shot after shot was fired after him but
he seem dto bear a chained life. '•'• c
lost sight of him until just before we
left Cairo, when lie appeared one night
suddenly and shot two of cur pickets
Again he appeared at Bacon creek
Ky., and burnt the railroad bridge
under M’ Cook’s nose, shot one of his
pickets and rode off before the army
had recovered from its snprise.
You remember his bold attack upon
our lines on Saturday, the Bth of March
in Mitchell’s division, an 1 again on
Sunday at daylight upon Mc-
Cook’ s camp tm the Franklin Pike. The
very same Sunday, this Morgan, disgui
sed as a countryman, and dressed in
butternut colored clot’ 01, obtained a
pass from Gen. Mitchell who did not
know him. and had the audacity to
dine at the City Hotel in company with
out own officers, making good his es
cape with perfect noitcltalence. He
came very near capturing Gi n Nelson
one day last week. The plot was
discoveted in time to frustrated, but
not to catch the rogue. He has since
captured the railroad train inning
between Louisville at Gallatin, taking
thirty bridge buiders prisoners, but
releasing them as he seeks higher game
He has boasted that he will catch one
of our Generals as an offset to Buckner,
he being Buckner’s especial favorite.—
He has" offered a reward of SI,OOO to
any citizen or officer, who will catch
him and bis steed, and strange to say,
disguised, has made these bets openly
before our officers, who at the time did
not know him. Such is Col. John Mor .
gan, the famous rebel scout, who, tho’
he deserves bunging, yet wins admiring
opinions from enemies as well as friends
for his dating.
Tll e,spleiidiu VeA^^(^^ r
guished noxclist was destroyed by fire
on the 28th ult. An extract from a pri
vate le'ter, in the Charles'on Courier,
discloses a painful series of calamities
which, have lately befallen Mr. Simms.
He writes :
“ Yon have heard, I take it, of our
continued losses. We have buried nine
of fourteen children. For myself fur
ther, I need not tell you that my copy
rights and plates arc ill confiscated and
lost-some $25,000 the whole earn
ings of my life, save my libr ry. I
realized annually from my copyrights,
from $1,200 to SI,BOO. “Othello’s occu
pation’s gone!” and cotton is not to be
sold. But 1 do not regret the loss
present or to coinc—or the privation, il
1 can bestow upon tny children the
more precious inheritance of indepen
dence.”
A Speech from Parson Hrownlow.
The following speech of Parson Brown
low, says the Richmond Examiner, was
delivered in front of the St. Cloud Hotel,
Nashville, on the evening of the 17'h
ultimo:
Geirlemen—l am in a sad plight to
say much of interest ; too thoroughly
incapaci'ated to do justice to yon or
myself. My throat has been disorder
ed for the past three years, and 1 have
been compelled to almost abandon pub
lie speaking. Last December, I was
thrust into an uncomfortable and disa
greable jail—for what? Treason I
Treason to the bogus Confedcra y, an'l
the proofs of that treason were articles
which appeared in the Knoxville Whig
in May last, when the State of Tennes
see was a member of the imperishable
Union. At the expiration of four weeks
I became a victim of the typhoid fever,
and was removed to a room in a decent
dwelling, and a guard of seven men
kept me company. I subsequently be
came so weak tnat 1 could not turn
over in bed, and the guard was increas
ed to twelve men, for fear 1 should sud
denly recover and run a vay to Ken
tucky.
Becoming convalesce!!', in a measure,
I was removed to my former place of
confinement. One day 1 was visited
by some Confederate officers who re
marked, “Brownlow, you should not be
here. Take tho oath of allegiance to
the Confederate Government, which
will not only ensure you a speedy re
lease, but insure you protection ”
“Sir,” said I, “before 1 would take the
oath to su], port such a hell forsaken in
stitution, 1 would suffer myself to rot
or die of old age.” .
Why, my friends, those demagogues
actually boa ;t that the Lord is on their
side, and declare that the Lord is as
sisting them in the fuitherancc of their
nefarious project. In Knoxville and
sni rounding localities, a short time
since, daily prayer meetings were held
Wherein the Almighty was besceched
to raise Lincoln’s blockade, and to hurl
destruction against the Burnside expe
dition. I'heir prayers were partly an
swered —the blockade at Iloaiioke Is
land was most effectually raised a reci
procal of their sacrilege divinely ten
dered.
Gentlemen, 1 am no Abolitionist ; I
applaud no sectional doctrines; I am a
Southern man, and all my relatives and
interests arc thoroughly identified with
the South, and Southern institutions. 1
was born in the Old Dominion, my pa
rents were born in Virginia, and they
and their antecedents were all slave
holders.
Let me assure you that the South Ins
suffered no infringement upon her insti
tutions iho slavery question was no
pretext fir this unholy, unrighteous war.
Twelve Senators from thecc tton Stales
who had sworn to preserve inviola’e the
Constitution framed by our Corel'ithers,
plotted treason at night—a fit time for
such a crime—and telcgra; h- d to their
States despatches advising them to pass
Ordinances of Secession. Yes, gentle
men, twelve Senators swore allegiance
in the day time and unswore them at
night. A short time since, I was called
upon by a little Jew, wh‘>, 1 believe, is
the Secretary of War of the bogus Con
federacy. He threatened to hang me,
and I expected no more mercy from him
than was shown by his illustrious pre
decessors toward Jesus Uhiist. 1 en
tered into a long correspondence with
this specimen of expiring humanity, but
from mercy or forgetfulness on thert
part, I was permitted to depart with all
my documents in my litte valise, which
I hope to publish at no distant day.
Gentlemen, when I started on my per
ilous journey, I was sore distressed in
mind, and exceedingly so in body ; but
the moment my eyes encountered the
pieke's of the Federal army my depres
sion decreased and returning health
seemed suddenly to invigorate my physi
cal constitution.
Gentlemen, Secession is played ent ;
the dog is dead ; the child is born, and
his name is Jeff. Davis, Jr.
My throat distresses me to such :m
extent that I must decline further res
marks this evening, but shall make my
self heard upon the next convenient, oc
casion, which will probably be ere the
termination of the present week.

The Enemy’s Plan.—The Wilmington
Journal is probably correct in its idea
that Burnside intends to attempt to cut
us in two at Raleigh. It says:
The attack upon the Confederacy
though North Carolinia has now been
developed from the Pamlico Sound.—
The line of operations, in the opinion of
military men is no doubt, byway of
Goldsboro,cutting of the line of railroad
communication by the Wilmington and
Weldon road thence to the interior at
Raleigh and Gaston road. This will
in all human probability bo the main
attack on the Atlantic States South of
Virginia. It is the line of advance
which promises the most decisive re
sult, in cutting the whole ol Atlantic
•lope of the Confederacy in two. It it*
an attack which requires to •be
met with all the force of the State
and all the force which the Con
federacy can bring to bear. It
must be met. The Confederato author
ities arc at last aroused to the vital im
portance of tne issue. Ar honored son
of North Carolinia, a brave and able
General, is at Goldsboro, and to his
standard the strong arms and stout
hearts of the S ate must and will rally
for the salvation of their glorious old
mother, the saf*. ty of their hour’s, the
preservation of their liberties, and the
success of their cause. They must
come trom the mountains and the sea
board, from the East and from the West
from the North and from the South,
from the centre and from the circumfer
ence,with their muskets where they can
get them, wTth their rifles and their
shotguns where they cannot. Now is
the time. A bold and determined effort
and the enemy is repulsed and our cause
is won.
The While Nigger. —The St. Louis
Republican says that an abolition con
vention was recently held in Boston, at
which Stephen F. Foster, in one of bis
speeches, said they had something else
to do besides giving the negro his free
dom, and added:
We must put him in the Senate and
admit him to our social circles. We
have got to swallow the whole nigger
with all the wool on. When wo can do
that, then we can have the inillcnium,
and not till then. If wo arc not pre
par-d to do this, we had better fight on
the Confedeiate side. I would not sup*
port the government in its present po
sition. I have endeavored to dissuade
every young man I could from enlisting
telling them that they were going to
fight for.slavery.
Many of the citizens of Charleston,

The Washington Republican com
