General q. W. Morgan.

We have the satisfaction, says the
Cincinnati Commercial Of the I'd, Of
announcing the safety of Ger. G.. W.
Morgan. and his army. He was at
West Liberty. Ky. on Friday last,
marching for the Ohio river, which
he was expected to reach yesterday
He brought OH all his field guns. His
sei.r guns were destroyed. He left
in the hospitals five hundred men I'M
able to travel, with medical stores and
Il small guard. These will of course
be captured. There are several thou
sand East Tenncsseeans in Morgan's
command few hundred unarmed.
The rebels thought they=had Morgan
in their power, but he mined the pre-
cipices overhanging the gap,and shat
tered them with gunpowder so that
they tumbled into the road, rendering
it impossible. This was closing the
door against direct pursuit. He then
withdrew at the rate of about twenty
miles per day. The march was
through mountainous and unpro
ductive country, over bad roads, and
no roads at all, and his troops must
have suffered severely. We presume
it is fair to conclude, that the safety
Of Morgan's army improves the situa-
ton in kentucky.

Brutal Murder by Bushwhackers.

We mentioned in orr last the ru-
,mored killing of two of our cavalry
officers near Clinton. The particu-
lars, as we have since learned, are
as follows: On the evening of the
9th, Captain Cougar (in the cavalry
force guarding commissary stores at
Clinton), was out on a foraging ex-
petition, with twelve or fourteen
men, when they were bushwhacked
in Frost's bottom by some sixty
hushwhackers, supposed to be a part
of Cliffs disbanded regiment. The
captain and I'd lieutenant We're cap
tured, and the LIST Lieutenant danger
ously wounded. The captain and
I'd lieutenant We're robbed of some
$500, and then deliberately muir
dered by shooting through the head.
The 1st lieutenant. who was dan
gerously wounded. escaped by craw
ling into the bushes.
Five prisoners We're brought in
yesterday from the neighborhood of
shis occurrence. charged with giving
information to, and otherwise aiding
the enemy. 1. does not appear that
they had any hand in the tiendish
outrage perpetrated by Cliffs band.

The GALVESTON AFFAIR,-Wo
were panied to learn, through the
columns of the News Of Saturday, that
collision had taken place in Calves
ton between some Of our soldiers and
citizens of that place. We have since
made inquiry, and learn from the
most reliable source that the article
referred to is an erroneous account of
an occurrence much to be regretted,
which did take place at Galveston at
| o'clock of last Friday night The
facts are these Capt. Whitaker,
who is stationed at Eagle Grove,
having been informed that certain
parties had contracted to furnish sup
plies to the enemy, and being anxious
to prevent its contamination, sent
detachment of soldiers, under COM
mand of Capt. Clipper, into the city.
Passing quietly to a place of conceal
ment. Capt. &. discovered party of
men standing upon the sidewalk, and
approaching them, enquired if they
were all citizens. He was informed
that all We're citizens but one, at which
moment. person clad in Federal
undress uniform attempted to make
his escape. Capt. G. ordered him to
halt, which he failed to do, and the
Capt fired at him again ordering him
to halt. He pursued him some dis
tance further. and fired a second time.
During the time that Capt c. was
engaged in the pursuit, a firing occur
red, which resulted in the killing Of
one man. a citizen Of the city. We
are glad to learn that Mr.. w esterlagc
was not engaged in the collision, and
was not injured, The expedition was
without the consent or knowledge Of
the officers in command at the Point
ana the case is now undergoing Off
cial investigation. We would sug-
geSt great caution in receiving reports
OF this character Houston Tele-

New Orleans.

A gentleman just from New Or
leans reports sad state of affairs in
that city. The rule of the tyrant is
strictly enforced, and his edicts upon
local affairs are repres ented to be as
obnoxious as his general orders upon
public policy. The order directing all
persons to make a return Of their pro-
perty, and take the oath of allegiance
is being rigidly enforced. All are re-
quired to report personally, and those
whe will not swear allegiance are at
once registered "enemies,' and sent
beyond the Federal lines. business
he reports as entirely FRUSTRATED.
Butler has attempted his first ex-
pertinent with his negro brigade. One
regiment, fully armed and equipped,
and otticered by whites, was sent out
along the coast. As they We're great
ly deficient in drill, and accompanied
by an extensive train Of empty wag-
ons, it was generally supposed their
object was plumber, which they would
be enabled to pursue with impunity
among the few unarmed planters who
have ! n permitted to remain at
home.
Our informant left the city on the
14th, and has furnished us the Plea
vune of that date. 1t contains but lit
tie of interest. 1t says that on the
ptevious day "the levee looked bright
and pleasant TO the mere wanderer
along its borders, but to the business
man it looked gloomy enough. The
water was exceedinly low and the
current scarcely perceptible. and the
sun beamed down as calmly and
warmly on the war vessels in the
stream as if theywere the whitening
ed messengers of commerce onpeace-
full missions bent" But few arrivals
or departures are announced.-Gre-

IMPORTANT FEDERAL MOVEMENT

IMPORTANT FEDERAL MOVEMENT
The Petersburg Express ofthe 10th
has information from Suffolk of the
most important character, through 4
source entitled to the fullest conf
dence. The Federal forces now in
and around Suffolk are estimated at
thirty-fve thousand. These forces
are stationed in the town OF Suffolk,
at Hargrsve's Tavern, Providence
Church and Deep Creek. Incau-
tious soldiers and others tell the peo-
pie of Suffolk that the force in that
direction is to be increased to 1OO,-
900. The reinforcements are brought
up at night. No passports are now
granted to persons to come in the
direction Of the Blackwater river.
All the trees for several miles around
Suffolk have been felled, and fortiti-
cations are going up at all points.
This looks as though the Federals
anticipated an attack. 1t may be,
however, to prevent an attack, until
they are ready to move, which many
believe they intend to do in the d.
rection of Petersburg and Richmond.
The Express, however, expresses
no fears, but says that our forces are
so stationed that the invaders will
meet with a desperate resistance
whenever they attempt to come

The appearance of the Steamer
Dan, now Federal gunboat of light
draft, in Texas waters, warns our
people to be prepared for her. The
enemy's programme for the winter
upon this part of our coast appears
to us to be made up chiefly of raids
upon the country, with the view Of
doing the people all the harm in their
power.
We must be ready to meet them at
all points and resist every incursion.
Texans have a name for deeds of dar-
ing and enterprise, Of which they
may be proud. Let them maintain
their reputation. This sort of war
fare viii present peculiar opportuni-
ties for such displays. Let the
banks of the rivers be patrolle d with
sharp shooters. Let the people or
ganize into companies of minute men
and be ready to rally at the approach
Of danger. If depredations are made,
let the depredating party be cut off.
Let not Texas be made to suffer the
shame of an unresisted raid upon
her territory that can be defended.
We find the above in the Houston
Telegraph, and trust the advice will
be followed. Our Texas friends
must be on their guard.
