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. Jno. 11. MoRCrYN, Coinm’dg. 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. a.i> in j; vi<1 iial'w regTOl‘ eiulea-vuriiig u> pick n m.-u --tfeman’s used to the business, and was only try ing to get his hand in. Learn in childhood, if you can, that happiness is not outside but inside. A good heart and a clear conscience britfg happiness ; and no riches and no circumstance ever do. A late celebrated judge, who stooped very much when walking, had a stone, thrown at him one day, which fortunately passed ove him without hitting him. Turning to his friend, he remarked : “ Had 1 been an upright Judge, 'h >t might have caused my death VOL. XIX—NO. 14. 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, S. C. have given their leaden window weights to the government to be moul ded into bullets, and one gentleman tendered the water pipes from his house. All the Generals of our army of the Mississippi, are now at Corinth, include ing Beauregard, Sid. Johnston, Bragg, Polk, Crittenden, Gladden, Ruggles, Carroll and Kirby Smith. The State road has paid into the Trea sury $40,000, as its earnings for the last month. Twenty seven thousand arms and 50 tons of powder were recently received at Memphis. Os 73 h ruses of every class of busi ness, in Albany, Ga. 33 are closed, ma ny of the business men having entered the army. The Washington Republican com plains that the Federal army was kept at bay, for no telling how long, by a number of pine logs arranged behind the rebel breastworks to represent can non. Siich performances, it says, were reserved (’• r the 19th century to behold. 8®... The Richmond Whig of Friday last, in editorial on ‘The War,’ says: without arms. An _nition is now on u«xn«i. Ln an article 0:1 the military despotism North, says that “the ,tbe War de partment has handcuffed the American press and plucked the lile out of it.”— It recommends the papers to revolt. We htive heard of but one old woman who “kissed her cow,” but there are thousands of young ones that kiss great calves. A man, very much intoxicated, was taken to the station house. “Why did you not bail him out ?” inquired a by stander of a friend. ‘Bail him out!’ exclaimed the other; ‘why, you could not pump him out.’
