WHAT HE THINKs OF MORGAN AND HIt
MEN.
Morgan. be says, is gentlemsnly
blackguard, with a id set OF thieves
for soldiers. -a lid
When Morgan's men oYerrun the
town, the Union ladies Of Cynthisna Sc.
creted and took the best care of The
Cincinnati men, and all others who we're
in danger. Capt. Glass is enthusiasts
in their praise, and from what be knd
others say OF their kindness on this oc-
cssion, they are entitled to the admirs-
tion of all true patriots and gallant sol
diers. u
From the manufactory of Gray 4 Cox
they stole 100 yards of butternut jeans.
In private houses they helped them
selves to whatever they took fancy TO.
The Cincinnati steam FIRE engine hor-
ses were run into Mr.. Gray's stable. and
several Of Mr.. Glass's boys stripped
their coats and shirts off upon Morgan IS
approach and played hostler-by which
sharp trick they deceived the thieves.
Morgan ordered them to saddle the hor-
ses. and afterward took possession. He
seemed to like them very well, and told
him he wished the fire department Of
Cincinnati would send him some more.
A company Of cavalry, to the number
Of fifty, posted on Main street, few
yards to the rear of Capt. Glass's posi-
ton. conducted themselves shamefally,
as they broke and fed at the first FIRE.
Col. Landrum stood by the artillery
until the firing ceased, and then made
his escape, riding to Paris.
A party of Morgan's men, after try
ing the horses they stole. up and down
the street. got Capt. Glass's cannon,
and amused themselves, giving that
trial by firing shells from it over the
town. The shells made so horIid a
noise that two or three hundred OF those
not aware Of the firing hastily rashed
together and rode madly about for
few minutes, thinking they were at
tackled. E
Morgan left about 8 o'clock Friday
afternoon, taking the road to Paris
haste was shown, as if an
attack was feared. He took all tl,e best
horses he could find. and left the 5eded
and worn out. He took with him Capt.
6. was told, about sixty recruits.
Capt. Glass left Cynthians about 8
o'clock on Saturday. He borrosed a
horse from secesh, and drove him so
''rUTIe gave OUT WITHIN four mr. or
Falmouth. He walked the rest Of the
way, and found several Of his men. who |
-ejoiced to see him alive, as he was re-
ported dead. The 18th Kentucky reg
ment had just arrived. Glass took the
elurn train.
The cannon once got double charge .
jackson. of the Newport company.
Who put the second one in, supposing
he first had been fred. That double
harge, it is said. killed fourteen ofMor-
ran's men as they issued from the
ridge. Glass thinks If his gun had
,een posted on the hillside, be would
ave made the place too hot for them.
lis gun was unsupported by infantry.
they were surprised by Morgan, as they
ad no idea he would be along so soon.
The Union men of Cynthiana, and in
eed, OF Harrison county, are said to be
esperate. They want the guerrillas
ung whenever and wherever caught.

1ade desolate will seek terrible ret

One Of Glass's men, Cranley, made
arrow escape, as he was hastily placed
ehind the kitchen door by the lady Of
be house, three OF Morgan's men COM
lg in, and after washing themselves
oOk atowel from the door behind which
'ranley stood. After eating, they left
