A hero bis fallen. The South mourns t‘ 10.-s of the chivalrous Morgan. The low «... of it nation’s grief is his solemn jequiem.— Wherever heroic valor and ruhiime patriotism ure held in respect among mankind, a sigh will lie hea:d for his sad fate. We offarcur tribute to the many paid to the memory ot the gallant dead. John 11. Morgan was born in Huntsville, Al abama, in the year I*2o. lie was the son of Col. Calvin C Morgan and bis wife Henrietta, a daughter of the late John W Hunt, of Lex-' lugton, Ky. When he wa3 six years old, his parents removed to layette Cos., Ky., where he was reared a'. 1 educated, Laving been a etudent of Transylvania University. Iji lrilf. ho was elected font lieutenant in the cavalry company of CD?tain heard, and served ir* that capacity In 001. Humphrey Marshall's iegi ment of mounted ritteracn, participating with distinction in the battle of Buena Vista, and in the campaign under Gen. /icnary iuylor in Northern Mexico, Returning to Lexington, Ky , he was engaged, until the breaking out of the present war. in the nmnuffi' tore of >•?« and bagging and jeans, on an extensive scale. He was distinguished by industry and energy at a business man, and t|ore a high character for piobity and liberality in bis dealings lie was twice married, his first wife being ML? Rebecca Hruco, daughter of John Bruce of Lex. ingtou, Ky., who died in August, 1861; and his second Miss Mattie Reedy, daughter of Hon. Mr. Reedy of Murfreesboro, Tenn., a beautiful and accomplished lady, the worthy bride of a hero, who survives to mourn ilia irreparable loss. lie was for some years captain of a volunteer company of riflemen, celebrated in Kentucky for its niperior diseipliQi ami drill, This com pany he brought out with him on the 17ih tvptember, 101, to enlist under the banner of •Southern independence. Composed ol forty men, it became the nucleus of the. command which basso dis'.inguiebed itsell biwing this war. It is unnecessary to dwell at this time cn the military career of John 11 Morgan, his many brilliant achievements, and important services to tbo Southern cause They aro part of the history of the war, and familiar to the reader. Suffice it to say, that his deeds of chivalrous daring have won the admiration of both friend ftu<l foe ; hnv tire applause of the world ; and have placed him among the great Southern military leaders whom this war has produced. No more ardent, disinterested, or . • fit;tig patriot than Jehu 11. HoTg.iD, has drawn his sword or died bis blood in defence of South ern liberty and Independence. Voluntarily, from pure love of his native South, from an impulse of Ihe loftiest patriotism, he aban doned a lucrative business, and the comforts of an elegaut home to encounter the fatigues and perils of a military career, singularly ad venturous, and just clothed by a tragical death, in Ibe prime, of manhood. History will pro nounce him a hero without reproach, a patriot without a stain Ilia grateful country sheds a tear of sorrow and places a wreath of glory upon the sod beneath which the of his great and generous heart are. hushed for ever. In his private relations, John IT. Morgan was as irreproachable as iu public life, lie was n good citizen., and an obliging neighbor, llis charitublo efforts and sacrifices in behalf of the poor were unwearied, llis hand was open tor their relief. The poor of the-city of Lexing ton looked up to him as their host friend; and their benedictions will long rest upon his memory. But it was in the domestic circle that his genial and affectionate, nature shone with a pure and steady lustre. Asa son he was a model of filial piety, never omitting for a single day to visit, and bestow his tender anxiety upon his wi lowed mother, who is still a resident of Lexington, whatever family and business cares might claim his attention. Asa husband, Iso was uniformly devoted "and affectionate. And as a brother and relative none was ever more loyal and kind. Jofiu IL. Morgan was a man of remarkably tend r and kindly as well as great and courageous heart It was remarked bv one wlio know and loved him well that he was more like a woman in the geutlcnevs and tender affection of his de meanor in tlio social circle than any man she ever knew. It is pleasing to dwell upou tho virtues of such a man, at, once so kmd and brave, so generous and fearless, i’eace to his ashes, ail honor to his memory. Tub Position'.—A few days since wo re marked that Sherman was limning eight or ten trains a day of provisions into Atlarfa. The Macon Intelligencer says he is re or over two hundred oar loads of provisions daily. This'is one of the beautiful fruits of the “ar mistice.” But what has been done in (his mat ter cannot be undone. All we can now do is to vigorously prepare for the future If the Confederate authorities at Richmond pass a few more weeks of ou ■.* and negligence, ami refuse to take proper measures and steps for the de fence of Georgia, Sherumn will succeed in safe ly bousing himself in Atlanta, and will not only be in a strongly fortified pojitioa, but will have provisions enough on hand to make it im possible to native him out. The necessity of the moment demands an active and effectual campaign. The plan mast be quickly put in motion otherwise wo will be immolated on the ai tar of sacrifice. We cannot too much urge that the armv of Tennessee be reinforced at once. It is not too late to retrieve the error of the past. Let us have no more hesitation. But let us have what the times demand —prompt, vig orous actiou. A Fatat Shootiko Ann ay.—A shooting affray occurred in Hamburg on Thursday morn ing, between Col. J D. Twiggs and a man earned Butler and his son. There are Various ver sions to the affair, and we therefore await the legal examination before we give any. I* re sulted however, we are told, in the mortally woundiug of Mr. Butler's son and the instant death of Col. Twiggs. The former died from the effects of bis wound iu the evening Fire in Li swoon.—On Tuesday morning the dwelling house of C.

Fire near Be.'.zelia —A few days since the dwelling of James Falmer, Esq , six miles from Berzelia, togc-tlur with most of his out building's were burned to the ground : nearly all of the furniture was saver. It is-not known how the fire originated. Supposed to be accidental. Yellow Fkvkh in Charleston. —lt is re ported that the yellow fever has made its r.p_ pearar.ee in Charleston, and that there are Borne fifteen cases iu the City. It is also said that some aeaths have occurred from the dis ease. TUB l*:lE;-SDiN>TIAL CAtViK it IC t.M IKO 6TVIi.S. The canvas* for the Presidency in the United Slates is unißUii'y complicated, Never cm a more important crisis occur in the history cf civilized r.aiicns than that which at this tune exists on this continent. A revolution, in volving lb-. - most womentov.3 interests which the world has ever seen staked upon a con test, is in full progr* bs. bay wLet we may resolve what we will; still ihe success of this revolution is to bo largely affected by the character of the Government which controls, the United Staten. It is impossible to be in different spectators of the contest which is going 'on there. We must keep in view the principles which prompted and guided our ac tion when the separation took place. Ihe access of the Black Republican party in elec ting their candidate, was regarded as a tri— •••r.ph not over us. but over the constitution. The doctrine bail been boldly announced that tLe institution of slavery should no longer be left to the protection of the St tea where it ex isted, but a purpose was dkeiosed to bring this system of domestic servitude under the jurisdiction of the general Government, with a view to its ultimate extinction. Tha irre pressible conflict between freedom and slavery was announced. That dangerous idea; eu idea fatal to the integrity of the Union was uttered by Mr. Seward. He was the Mepbis tophiles who stood up to miriead the people by a sophistry as seductive as it was dan gerous. Bv far the most dangerous man that ihe country ha3 ever predated, he appeared at a conjuncture In our national affairs when ihe was potent for mischief; cold, irapasrible, crafty, unscrupulous, and ambitious, he saw that his hour had come. The hour to destroy, not to save. The hour to achieve a triumph over the principles of the Constitution by as sorting a principle utterly at war with its provisions. The very same cor diet in'! risen upon the adoption of that instrunient, (ted, it had been settled by a compromise which should never have been disturbed. In the West, too, another man appeared; a man who in many respects is a perfect contrast to the present Premier of the United .States. Abraham Lincoln Lad acquired notoriety in his contest with Mr bongo*-, for the Senator sbip of Illinois. Uncouth, unlearned, and yet shrewd ; he had exhibited some points which made him available as a popular candidate. He hud uttered the sentiment that the Govern ment of the United States not could embrace two conflicting systems of civilization; that the States must be all free, or all slave. The Whig party had lost its strength. The Demo cratic party was irreconcilably divided. At that critical conjuncture, the Presidential election came on, and the compact body o! Black Republicans triumphed; Then came the revolution—State after State withdrew from the common Government. I'he refusal of the Administration at Washington to withdraw the Federal. troops from Fort Sumter, built on the coil of South Carolina, brought on tbo war. A fire was opened on it which brought down the flag which floated ov.t it. and tiicn came waV—fierce, relentless, ■ nlaU '; war. It rages still. It ought to be ■ 1 H Every interest of ilia country de ■ • should cease. Every sentiment .a;;.outraged by its continuance. Christianity moutas over it. Civilization is j appalled by it. • i When the Convention assembled at Chicago we turned our eyes with hope so that spot. While it did not accomplish all that the friends of constitutional liberty hoped for, still it threw across the dirk waters of strife- the first ray of pure light that had streamed upon them for four years. The nomination of Gen. Mc- Clellan was tho result of an exigency ; his availability was regarded ; and the antago nism which he offered to Hie present adminis tration, constituted him far the strongest maa that could have been presented to the people of the United States. The recognition in the resolutions adopted by tins Convention, 6f the great principle of the rights of the States, was to us a most cheering fact. It was a recognition of a saving princi ple ; absolutely the only principle that can rescue us from the tremendous consequences that threaten to follow the present struggle. Os this wo may say-more hereafter. The resolutions provide, too, for a cessation hostilities ; they denounce war as a mode restoring tho Union of the States. That will lead to peace. Hostilities once suspended, will '--.ever be resumed. Let us bear this in mind. Now Gon. McClellan accepts the nomination, but lie writes a letter defining his individual sentiments. This letter bad far better have been left unwritten. It was the result of the exi gency, and drawn from him by bad counsellors Those who look only at the segment of a cir cle, and never the ample field of a full horizon. It was written after the news of the fall of At lanta had reached tire North. It was intended to adjust his position to flic popular surround ings It must be borne in mind that the mag nitude of' that success is appreciated at the Nortli at its full value. It re-anirnatel the dioopiug spirits of the friends of the Admin istration. Mr. Seward in his Auburn speech regarded it as the breaking of one cnyjj tho huge egg of the rebellion. Tho figure“ is not a very fe licitous one, but it serves to show the degree of importance attached to the disaster at»\t lanta by our enemies. Gen. McClellan's letter of acceptance was written when ihe news of this crowning achievement of the Federal arms reached the North Salutes, illuminations, waving banners heralded tne tidings. The populut furor was to bo diverter!—and some intimation given that the hope of restoring the Union was not to be utterly abandoned. We do not doubt that the public estimate of Gen. McClellan's position will before a great while restore to him all the friends of peace who would under any circumstances have given him their support. The great object to be at tained is the defeat of Lincoln. His re-election means war : relentless, exterminating war. The emancipation of the slave ; the subjugation cl* tha people of the South ; the confiscation of propci ty ; the obliteration of all political lights. The shield held up to our view as he makes war upon us, is the head of Medusa. On the other baud, if Gea. McClellan should be elected, a cessation of hostilities will follow. The war will bo suspended. The star of hope will rise above the surging billows That re suit once attained, hostilities will never be resumed. Negotiations will be seriously en tered upon. The trifling, itresponsible style of treating the great questions at' present carried oil at heme and abroad, will come to an end : and a settlement will be reached which will ref tore the States to their pristine glory.

FROVI \.‘;r FROM’. A letter frojn'Kayette, Ga dated Sept 6 states that the Yankees have pissed unite a distance down the West side of Flint River, stripping the Houses of every thing. The bridges are all burnt on Flint River above Flat shcais, which is a great inconvenience to the cuizens aud very little advantage to the army. I*. is stated tha; ihe losses during the oom birdment of Atlanta will reach '55,000,000 worth of real estate, embracing 47 houses burnt. There were 4L7 persons killed, aud 601 wound ed. riberman seized on and sent North every bale of ce ion ia Atlanta, to tbo cicdit of the U S Treasury. Gen Sherman did not reach Atlanta himseliun •il la-t Thursday .*lie was escorted into the city by a military procession, with any amount of marie and ii igs, and was serenaded by the va rious army bands ail night long. The city is being rapidly (Tiled with quarter master’s and commissary stores, and the sutlers are doing a land office business upon White hall street. The ’Trout House and Washington Hall have beer, re-opened under the auspices of adventur ous Yankee landlords A Yankee colonel and his mistress are doing the honors at the Trout House The Y •nkees have commenced tho work of fortifying the city upon a more extensive scale than the works which we erected to keep (hem out. . . It is eaidjrio be Sherman's plan after allow ing his troops a little rest, to push forward | three separate columns—one against Macon, one against Augusta, and one against Mont gomery ; at least, this is the plan which tome of bis minor officers understood would be cai icu out. The Yankees must hare been very short of provender for their horses unci mules, f,:;- ail the stock which those with whom 1 con versed saw were worn down to perfect skeletons; and those used iu conveying the e.vilea to Rotigli add Ready Could scarcely perform the duty imposed upon them. The annexed items in regard to matters at the front, we find in the Macon Confederate: Rough and Ready, tho point by the terms of the armistice, Sherman is to de liver the expelled citizens of Atlanta, who elect to come South, is eleven miles from At lanta. The distance from Rough and Ready to the point iu our lines to which our trains are running, is about sixteen and one half miles, ovb-f winch distance tho exiles, with their effects will bs hauled in Gen. Hood’s wagons. They will then take the cars and proceed South. The first train of Atlanta exi:e3 arrii ed in Macon Wednesday morning. They were rob bed of all their houshold furniture, jewels and slaves before being sect into our lines. Among tho Atlanta refugees is the lady ot Judge Lyons. Sherman called upon her ia person, and stated that he wanted her house iav hie headquarfers; that if she would leave her furniture he would S*!.o care of |j£6n4 see that she got it all back. He expressed regret at not meeting the Judge, and kindly advised her not to stop at Griffin, Macon, Miliedgeville or Augusta, us his army would soon hold those places, and subject her to further annoyance. Officers of oqr army seem to think that the Campaign ia Georgia is over for ibis year, that the enemy will strongly fortify Atlanta and hold it with a small force. They reason from casualties in battles in North Georgia, and frtuo Federal dates of enlistment and ex piration. • The correspoudonceTLetween Hood and Sher man, in relation to exchange of prisoners, is still progressing. There is no prospect, how ever, iff an agreement. Sherman insists upon receiving men only whose term of service has not expired, arid Hood objecting to that posi- j lion. FROM FLORIDA. Report says that Jacksonville. Rla., is very sickly,.and for that reason the enemy have made Magnolia, oil the St. John’s River, their headquarters. The Gainesville (Fla ) Cotton States says that there is a report that the noted deserter Green, from South Florida, has returned to ou* side, bringing over two hundred desmters fho majority of whom declare their willing ness to fight, for our came in. any portion of tl.-i tomitri. The Florid* Dispatch says that 800 Yankees have landed at the month of the Oci'lla river, and SGQ are at iteadman’s Bay, seventy five cr eighty miles from the Pensacola and Georgia railroad, between Tallahassee and Madison. Geu. Ashbaib, who commands the Federal forces at the Navy Yard, learning last week that a scouting parly of the Fifteenth Confed erate cavalry were near Pensacola, came out with a large force with a view of capturing them. On nearing the contemplated, scene of action, Gen. Ashbarir learned that this party was only a decoy, and that tho whole of tho Fifteenth wee moving to his rear, and that in stead of capturing anybody , he was iu a fair way of being gobbled up himself. Gen. Ash bath took the back track in a hurry, and in crossing the ford at the mouth o f the Big Bayou after dark ncgl cted to make tkepropei signal io the gunboats lying off ihat point, aud they mistaking Ash bath’s for rebel cavalry, opened with grape aud canister, killing twenty-seven and wounding a large number, also doing con siderable execution among the horses. Kiiy',l S2AST TBASiESREB. Since the affair at Greenville, nothing of im portance- lias occurred in the Department of East Tennessee The enemy, at last accounts, was at Bull’s Gap. After the death of General Morgan, General Vaughan was placed in com lnafid of all the cavalry of that department. Brigadier General Cosby, late of the Army of Tennessee, having repented for duty, has been assigned to the command of Hodge’s brigade. Colonel Basil W. Duke, an officer of rare mer it and gallantry, is now commanding 1 troops. FROf TUB COAST. While a party of our piektes wero guarding tho bridg® over Turtle river, about a week ago, a small band of ibe enemy outflanked them, and proceeded to the residence of Mr. John Dubigccn, at a place called the Buffalo, and carried off all "his negroes Tho number taken away we could no* learn, Mr. Dubignon’s place is about fifteen Brunswick. We are told tbat the enemy frequently make raids on a small scale into the interior, for the sole purpose of carrying eft’ negroes. llisavv Defalcation's. —The city was alive with a nerv sensation on yesterday, to which the disappearance of two young men in highly responsible positions gave rise. The young men alluded to were George Butler formerly a clerk in the Treasury Department, and Thomas Knox, Captain and Commissary at Camp Jackson Hospital, Butler was relieved from his clerkship some time ago, for drunk enness, but was granted a furlough by the bu reau of conscription, for sixty days, in which to bairnce his bocks. On Saturday evening last, brand Knox left town on the Fredericks burg train, Butler it is said, personating Knox’s “blind brother,” having his head soared, moustache <.<f, and green goggles on. On the same morning Knox had drawn from the treas ury, on a requisition for Camp Jackson, $149- 000, which, it is alleged, he converted into' gold and sterling, and pocketed. An examina tion of Butler's accounts, it is said, discovered a defalcation of no less than 5700,000. Ho had, it was reported, been purchasing sterling for some time past. Knox being a native of Fredericksburg, easily managed to get a pass port. and if the two have been as successful in evading the pickets as they have the detectives it is probable that, ere this they are both iu laakee'.&Bd. —lUcnmond Enquirer, Sept. 14.
