I MORGAN’S RAID,
f ■ jr, reß olv»d no; to publish the sensational rev
Morgan, which appear in the North*
p,per», and to wait far a record of hta “ grand
but the ree rd of his career is so stunning
■E, .u'absurditr. that we aro tempted to recede
■~ om oa r promise, and give onr readers a touch
what the Abolitionists say of Morgan and his
t ) show the recklessness of their mendacity
falsehood.
Richmond Dispatch, which h£S watched
Yankee record closely, has added np the
of captures reported in eeren letters
Sods that out of 4,000 men and six pieces of
ery that the Yankees said Morgan entered
with, there have been captured 81,000
and 28 pieces of cannon. The guns, which
e :cre they were captured to 80-poanders.
ijjcas these Jettons only serre to mislead our
and give occasion i f unwarranted depres
■ aa,oag the credulous, we will adhere to our
Hurpote and lease Morgan to work out hia own
Hcstisy.
H ffr cannot withhold, just here, the remark, that,
Bibaierar his fate, we do not regard b s move-
Kent, in any sense, a mistake or a failure. If he
Haa met with the losses reported, it has been be
■sues of the unexpected, and at this season unu-
Busl freshets, which impeded his progress. But
If bis entire command is captured, they will hare
Indicted an amount of damage upon tljp enemy
len fold greater than the loss of a like number in
It pitched battle would hare done, aud in our
fcumble judgment the most effective way
111 this lime to fight the enemy would be to
|MDd other expeditione of similar character
Into the enemy’s ceuntry.
I At the Washington Star remarks, "he has drawn
ir ops from other .Slates to hart him; he has de
itrojed almost ererrtbing in his track, and has
jatroduced the torrars of war into a country nerer
visited by hostile troops.” “It is safe to say,”
lontinuee the Star, “that bis four thousand light
•sralry bate given our troops more work, during ,
the year, than any sixteen thousand rebels in i
irms. i
tienee they are anxions to eatch this mischievi 1
one rebel end have pat torth great ex-rtions to j
that end. ,
la this connectionthe following reason, (rom s
Cincinnati paper, why Morgan has been so ants
Mssfnl, may be interesting :
. We bare never believed that Morgan, alter hav
ing crossed the Ohio at Brandenburg, would
ncceed in getting back again into Kentucky with
inytbiog like the force be brought into Indiana
ted Ohio; bat we must any, knowing what prep
trations bod been made to take him, that we did
sot expect be wonld hare succeeded in travelling
ike distance he baa without being checked at
totne point by our forces.
General Burnside bad to depend in Indiana
■oleiy on the militia to atop Morgan and impede
bis way until Hobson could overtake him, and
icsre was great difficulty in organising and mov
ing these raw forces. Morgan’s threats to destroy
towns, barn villages, and plunder generally, ts he
was attacked and bushwhacked by the people,
deterred many from burning bridges and felting
tress in hi's way, and he was there'ore permitted
to pass along unmoleated.
Gen. Hobaon, following immed ately in the
wake of Morgan, was unable to obtain fresh
horses, for Morgan gathered these up as hs went
along and left hia jaded ones behind.
There are other reasons which might be given
shy Morgan has passed so far through Indiana
and Ohio without being captured, which wt pro
pose to refer to at snotaer time, but thus much
we will say now : Gen. Burnside has labored day
and night since Morgan sroastd tbs Ohio to de
stroy and capture hia force, and ail tbe meant at
hit command were promptly and energetically
made use of.
The oewa this morning ia that wa have cap
tured one thousand prisoners, all bta artillery,
and killed one hundred and fifty of hia men.
There are Yankee rnmora that Morgan himself
has been caught; and there are rumors to the
contrary from his friends to parties in Tennessee.
Bence we ere bound to believe, not only that ha
ia not eaught, but that ha will not be, and that hia
leases have not been halt so great as reported.

‘‘Fools alone," says Napoleon I, "judge of the
wisdom of measures by the result." It needs
bat little reflection and a alight acquaintance
with mankind to convince as of tbe truth of this
maxim. Tbs wisest measures, the most carefully
digested plans, are often thwarted wbaa on tba
point of success br some uuforeseen lueideut of
tbs most trivial importance, some accident which
never could have entered into human calculation,
some mistake of some agent which it was im
possible to foresee. Wbat then ? Is tba concep
tion in be condemned aa ridiculous because of
ibo failure in tbe execution • Ho say tbe class of
persons to whom Naooieon alludes, and sc say
ihe majority of the world, who take their opin
ions ready made, and never give themselves tbe
trouble oi thinking.
Ot ail other plane which era subject to this de
scription of criticism, military plans are those
wbich are most apt to be judged by tbe result, be
aanse, of ail others, they are the moat exposed to
the capriee of fortune. A campaign projected
with the most profound wisdom, and having for
its end the most important objects, may fell, while
snotaer conceived ia tolly and executed against all
the rules of military science may succeed. Ia
such cases tbe public never fail to set down tbs
first as an enterprise of such a nature that it could
have succeeded m no possible combination of eir
eumstance?, while they always applaud the last aa
the perfection of wisdom. The little fartress of
Bard—so insignificant that it was entirely over
looked in the plan of campaign—was near oafll ng
Napoleon in his advance opon Milan in 1800, and
shutting up bis army in the narrow Yu I ley oi
Aosta, to be destroyed at leisure by the Austrians.
The sagacity of a peasant, by conducting tbs corps
as tbe Prussian Gen. Bulow along the road that
led immediately to tba flank and rear of tbe
Freneh army, when sereral others presented
themselves, saved the English army from ntter
destruction at Waterloo.
If, in the first case, the unforeseen obstacles
had aaused tbe failure of tbe eDterpriso, the class
of persons who judge of merit only by success
would have pronounced Napoleon a rash and
indiscreet General, who had undertaken an en
terprise above hia strength and failed, as he ought
to have known that be must fail. In the laat
mentioned cose he actually ia condemned in al
most these very terms, because Bu ow ehaneed to
meet with a guide possessing above the average
intelligence ot Flemish peasants, although bis
P'an of campaign was fraught with tbe most con
summate wisuom. home spring or wheel of the
vary complicated machinery with which the
campaign against Cronwallis, terminating in bis
surrender at York, was worked, might have jar
rod—and in order to insure success it was neces
sary that every part of it should do its work faith
fully—and Washington might have failed. Tdcd, i
most assuredly, he and his plan would have been
denounced bv this class of persona. |
We have been led into these reflections by tbs ,
comments which we hear made every day upon |
the campaign of Gen. Lee in Penneylroni*.

But there is one thing that we do know, and that
li, that the army with all its material was with,

knew that we were out of Jackson.
You have seen that the enemy made a reeon.
notsanee as far as Brandon. Their force is re.

no Federal force now on this side of that river.
A few scattered parties hare been marauding

of people are firing at home in ease, who at this <

The recent construction plaeed os the law of

ground to hope that many ot these drones will at

Messrs. Editors: I noticed in y ur issue of ibe
StTib the following s'slement made by yonr.“ieg
ular eorrsspondent
When it had bee unc known on the morning of
the 4:h of July, that the place was surrendered,
one of thass haoiiliatiug and improvident scenes
which hare already brought disgrace upon the
Confederacy, toos plaee, to wit: the sacking of
the quartermaster's stores. Strange as it may
seem, there was a Urge supply ol soldiers' cloth
ing stored away, and the army wai told that
there was none on hand. Often during the liege
did onr ragged troops apply for clothes, but
were invariably told that there was none on
hand; and yet, when the enemy came into town,
thousands of dollars’ worth were found thrown
out of deors to bo appropriated by everybody,
whether entitled to them or not.
As this article is calculated to do me, as Chief
Quartermaster in Vicksburg, greit injustice, I beg
that yon will publish the following facts in eon
neetion with the matter.
Two weeks before the surrender of Vicksbnrg
I notified ibe different division and brigade qnara
term&slers of the quality and quantity of the
eiotbmg which 1 had on hsnd, ordering them at
the same time to aeeerUin the necessity of the
troops, and draw what they required. They did
so, as far as practicable, but the bulk of the
clothing being heavy winter goods, they eon Id
not be prevailed upon to take them. Neither
our riermasters nor “ragged troops" ever applied,
and were refused, when there was any elotbieg on
hand. I bad no shoes, shirts, drawers, or light
summer clothing, sueh m they wished; that on
hand oeing a surplus which Major Mimms had
sent to Vicksburg just before the siege had com
menced. By the terms of the cspitnlation this
clothing was to he turned orer to the Federal Gov
ernment. Capt. Jones, who had it in charge, pso»
tested it as long as he could, but was not able to
hold it against tha thousand* of Yankees who had
rushed into the eity for the pnrpoae of pillaging.
I would have taken eecaeion to stats, toat, with
tht limited time afforded me, everything was
done that could be done, to protect and save the

We learn from persons who have lately came
out that the Federal rule is becoming daily more
j oppressive. Their power ia being exireised with
a high hand, and the loyal oitisens who remain
are suffering severely. Many families who had
ihe means of providing lor themselves, exhibit
ibeir attachment to the Confederacy by refusing
to draw or accept of the rations offered by the
Federal army. For this ail thsir provisions and
supplies were seixed, and thev were compelled to
draw the scanty rations, barely sufficient for their
support. Home of our pairiotic ladies w-re
marched coder a guard to the commissary ana
ierced te taxe tbe redone allowed to them. Bve
ryihing was done to humiliate and oppress them,
io order to make them entirely dependent upon
the charity of the Federal army. The lines are
closed; no more passports are given to each as
desire to some out, and those who now effect
their escape are compelled to resort to the under
ground railroad expedient Colonel Sloan, the
postmaster, had obtained a passport, but before
he lelt the place un order was issued prohibiting

MEADE’S MENDACITY. ,
The following official communication from Gen.
Lee illustrates the unreliability of dispatches ems
anating from Yankee generals • ,
Headq’es Army Norths** Vibgikia, 1
21st July, 1888. f 1
Gen. S. Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector General, ■
C. 8. A., Richmond, Va.: ,
Gsvbsal— l have seen in Northern papers what
purported to be an official diapatoh from General
Meade, anting that be had captured a brigade of
infantry, two piece* of artillery, two caissons 1
and a large number of small arms, as this army ,
1 retired to tbe south bank of the Potomac, on the
18th and 14th instants.
This dispatch has be-u copied into tbe Rich- i
mond papers, and as its official character may i
cause it to be believed, I desire to state that it is
incorrect. Tbe enemy did not capture any or
ganized body of men on that occasion, bat Only
stragglers and cuch as were left asleep on the
road, exhausted by tbe fatigue and exposure of
one of the most inclement nights 1 have ever
known at this season of tha year. It rained
without testation, rendering the road by whioh
onr troopa matched to tbe budge at Falling
Waters very difficult to pass, and causing so
much delay that the last ot the troops did not
cross the river a* tbe bridge until 1 P. M. on the
14ih.
While the column was Urns detained on the
road, a number of men, worn down with fatigue,
lay down in barns, and by the roadside, ana
though officers were sent back to aronao them,
as ths troop* moved os, the darkness an drain
prevented them from finding all, end many were
in this way left behind. Two guns wore left in
the road. The Dorset that drew them became
exbanated, and the officer! went forward to pro.
core others. When they rammed, the rear of
the column had passed tbe gnne ao far that it
ru deemed unsafe to send back for them, and
they were thus lost.
No arms, cannon or prisoners were taken by
tbe enemy in battle, bnt only sneh as ware lelt
behind under the circumstances I have described.
The camber of stragglers thus lost 1 am unable
to state with accuracy, bnt it is greatly exagger
i ated in tbe dispatch referred to.
I am, with great respect,

Tbs Army of Nouthirn Tiro-ikia— The state
of effsirs in the lower Valiev seems gradually to
be approaching a retorn to Federal rate. A small
force under Col. Wharton was left in Winchester
when that place was evacua’ed by Geo. Ewell four
days ago. The rest of out army being oil this
side of the Blue Ridge, the corps of Gen. Ewell
took up its line of march through the Valley, and
its advance, we learn, slopped at Harrisonburg on
Sunday. '1 he main force, however, is said to be
between that plaee and a point ten miles somh.
west of Winchester. The enemy have possession
ot all the gaps in the Blue Ridge except Thorn,
ton's, which leads from Sperryville to Luray.
They will doubtless soon have possession of this
also. A strong force, nnder Itnboden, will re
main in the vicinity of Winchester, to be in
creased by subsequ-nt additions, which will, it is
believed, effectually prevent the enemy from inuk.
ing any important demonstrations on this side of
Winchester, in the Valley. Tbe Ambulance Com
mittee, from this city, succeeded m getiiug off
safely nearly nil of our wounded. About one
hundred and twenty, at Winchester and Jordan’s
Springs, a few miles thence, were left comfortably
provided for, their condition cot admitting of re.
moral. A report that the enemy had taken
Strausburg is without foundation.
Nothing important as lo General Lee's move
ments in Cnlpeper. —Richmond JSnq'iirtr.
Illness cr Gas. Flotd. —We learn with deeo
regret that General John B- Flojd, who, since
hia retirement from the army, baa been an Inva
lid from disease contracted m the camp, now lies
dangerously ill at the residence of his son-in- law,
near Abingaon, Virginia, and but sl-giit hopes
are entertained of his recovery. The Confede
racy, and especially the people of Virginia, will
receive this announcement with sorrow.
Faou Culmpsh.—The train from the North
on yesterday brought dawn a few prisoners from
Cnneper, including Gea. Upton’s aid-de-oamp,
an Englishman, who was captured within a few
hundred yards of Heade’s headquarters, on the
north aide of the Rappahannock, a few days
ago, bye detachment of Stuart’s men. No new*
of any importance wns bronght by jbi train.—
Our army was on yesterday safely eonoetitrated
