Gen. John H. Morgan Hangs the Federal Pro
vost Marshal or Lexington. — We have it upon
what we deem verv reliable authority, says the
Knoxville Register, that after our army fell back
from Ferry villa, General Jotu H. Morgan dashed
into Lexington andJtung, in the street, the Pro*
?ost Marshal of tfiMcity. It seems that this dirty
tool of Lincoln had notified the mother of Gem
Morgan that she must leave Kentucky, and, in
the event of her failing to do so, would resort to
j some severe measures to make her go. The no*
, file son, learning Ibis, resolved that he would
take his life at all hazard*. This he did, as re.*
pored to us by trcthlol Kentncky gentlemen, in
a gallant style.
The ab->ve is confirmed, says the Mobile R»g:s»
ter A Advertiser, by a gentleman of Gen. Polk’s
stafi, who arrived in this city a few days ago. He
states that the Yankee official destroyed Mrs.
Morgan’s furniture and turned her tnto the street,

guage. The retribution was swift and terrible.

dwelling he had outraged.

the band that held the razor thrown back. Tbe
cause of this is said to be political trouble. He
was a conscientious man but voted the Reuubli*
can ticket. Lately became convinced turn the Re
publican part? brought the present war upon the
country, and that he had acted with that partv
in tbe great crime. These sad thoughts, togeth

| Capites of a Railroad Train and Ninety

; ceeded in capturing a train about three mile
i below Manassas Junction. Ascertaining that the

I the detachment tore up the track and posted

The Cavalrt Expedition to the Peninsula.—•
; An officer who accompanied the recent cavalry
| expedition to the Peninsula ras furnished ng with
j the following particulars:
The expedition, composed of a command of j
about 500 cavalry, under CoL Bali, left the vicini- '
; tv of Richmond at day-dawD of Sunday, the 28:h j
ultimo, ana proceeded, without important inci- I
dent or interruption, to “ Neck of Land,” t near
Williamsburg, where it is represented the ca*np
of negroes existed who murdered Messrs. Shriv»
er and Graves some two weeks ago. Tne object ,
i of the expedition was to break up this camp, an<} ;
capture ihe negroes connected with it. The !
point al.uded to was reached at daylight on Wed- ’
nesday morning, when line of baitle was at once
, formed, each flank of our cavalry force resting .
upon ihe river. Much to the disappointment o* j
he troops, and the officer in command, it was 1
discovered ’hat tue ne*r*<e?, and their Yankee j
accomplices, nearing of the approach of Col. j
Ball’s command, had broken up their encamp
ment on toe day previous, and retired to the,
: re*r of Fort Magruder, oetow Williamsburg.
Our forces have visited Williamsburg,
i bat information having reached CM. Ball mat the
Yankees bad been reinforced by two regiments !
ot mlantry and some artillery, aud that a gun
boat wa* lying in Queen’s Creek, near the town,
that officer deemed it prudent to retire without
miik'Dt: an attack.
On tfce-r return the expedition captured about ;
f 15<> negroes, several disloyal citizens, and a 1
oer i f r. rses.
an 1 CPBIS2NG” IN BALTIMORE.
A strange “upn*mg” took p ace in Baltimore
on Wednesday. For severa' days, a movement
nad been progressing among the Unionists of
Baltimore, beaded by the Clerk of tbe Criminal
Court, and an aid of Governor Bradford, for hold
ing a meeting to ask the removal of Gen. Wool
•rum hi 9 comma? d of Fort McFenry, On Wed es*
aay, the meeting was beid, and the petition
drawn up to that effect, in which tbe word “semN
ity” iksl> used in connection with the General.—
That officer immediately ordered the arrest and
confinement of all the prime movers in the meet*
ing. This created great excitement among their
cr>nipa?riots, and a large crowd waited on the
victims ana serenaded them. The prime movers
were then sent off m a boat, and thus put out i f
reach of lurtber serenades. General Wool in.n e
diately afterwards left for Washing on, and was
followed by a committee of Unionists with tbe
petition for kis removal. It is said General Wool
has intimated his intention to resign if the Ad
ministration removes him.
Dr. Covert, of Charleston, S. C., from whom we
obtain these facts, and who came through on the
flag of truce boat last night, says that Gen. Wool
will, while enforcing the rules relative to prison
ers of war, treat all such with courtesy and cone
side ration.

, to do so. 1 think it an injustice to those who
hare sent their negroes at tcy brst call, that they
; should be compelled to bear the whole burden
, and heat of the day. while others, who are among
I the wealthiest ol the land, look calmly on the
! danger of the city and the Stale, without con.
j tnbut'hg a single laborer from their hundreds or
• their thousands to their defence.
I Fellow citriens, with whom ought the blame to
: rest • Not with those who have contributed their
\ labor, for they have nobly done Iheir duty. Not
with me, for 1 am simply doing that which isab.
solutely necessary to the protection of the State
from invasion and from the designs of the Aboli
tionists.
Let the biame tall where it is juatly due—on
those who have refused to send labor to the de
fences of Savannah, and who still refuse to take
their turn in the work, who, after enjoying immu
nity for so long a time, still refuse to relieve
; those who have been laboring for tnem. Let
• those citizens whose vital imerests are at stake,
and who nave done their share towaids the com
' moo weal, rise up and compel these backsliders,
and especially the'rich among them, to do their
I part.
From ihe thousands of slaves who have thus
, been withheld from the defence ot the country,
enough, and more than enough, might easily be
' contributed to enable me to send back to their
masters all those who have already worked here
! for three (Smonths, and at ibe same time would
! give me a sufficient force to complete the defence
j of our chief city and coast.
| Patriots 1 will you allow the selfish and theun.
| patriotic to reap all the benefits of our war of in
dependence without sharing with you its burdens.
' its sacrifices and privations?
As soon as those who have not hitherto con.
| tribnted send me a sufficient number to fill their
places, I pledge myself to send bark to their
j masters the negroes who are now at work. Until
i tbts is done necessity cpmnels me to retain them,
