MORGAN has again been heard from. But we fear
that his forays must hereafter be marked by ruthless
bloOdsbed Or be almost wholly useless. In his recent
march through Kentucky, he took and paroed some
thing like two thousand prisoners perhaps even more
General Jerry Boyle, the Federal commander in Ken
lucky, issues order announcing his determination to
disregard paroles enforced by guerrlas in Kentucky
He orders prisoners paroed by Morgan to 60 back
into service.
Well now, Morgan captured three hundred prisoners
on Tuesday last at Gallan Tenn. 1.-The paroled those
prisoners he might just well not have taken them at
all for they will not respect it. The black flag is in
evably coming Ithieying, robbery and perjury to
receive the official sanction oftbe highest civil and militia
ry authorities of the Lincoln government we can only
treat them as thieves robbers and purers to be put
to death on sight When, hereafter, Morgan captures
three hundred men who wilnot respect their parole he
will be under the painful necessity of putting them to
death. 1t will not be his fault 1t will be the fault of
the Lincoln authorities.
By the attention of an esteemed friend in camp we
are in possession of some additional details of Stone
wall Jackson's recent fighting near the Rapidan He
also sends us the list of casualties in the 18th regiment
He says:
The telegraph has, before this carried the news that
General "StoneWall has again pounced down upon
the enemy and given him good drubbing. After q
march Saturday upon his force about
3 O'clock and about the general engagement began
The fighting spirited On the side of the enemy
they pressing strongly the left that moth
ing but Branches brigade coming up at the prop
time restored the battle For this opportune arrival
we'll for the with which the brigade went in
to action General jackson, in tie presence of the
whole line, thanked General Branch"
1t would appear that it was Banks Division of
Popes army that opposed in the last engagement
Our friend estimates our loss at 3O0 The enemys he
feels confident, cannot be less than 1000
We regret to learn that It. F. J. Moore's wound is
serious if not dangerous. He was struck by minnie
ball the shoulder in front, the ball passing out be-
hind below Tie shoulder joint and so near that it is
feared that the joint is injured He has gone to Char
lottesViIe.
1t s thus evident that we were right in our surmise
that it was Branch and not Ransom who arrived so
OPPORTUNITY.
We see that the Northern papers announce the fact
that Jacksons force had fallen back from the Rapidan
towards Gordonsve crossing the Rapidan on the 9TH
This is doubt So but the statement of correspon-
dent Of New York paper that the Confederates sent
flag of truce to the Federas asking permission to bury
their Dead not So The letter before us says that on
Monday the enemy came over under flag of truce to
bury their dead Speaking of correspondents friend
says that on going the field on Monday, he met
special correspondent frking around gathering here
and there. A regular Yankee
The following is the list of casualties in the 18Th
already referred to -
