MOrgall's Return.

A portion of Col. John Morgan's command,
consisting of the lst Georgia Rangers and the
Texan Rangers, returned to this city yesterday.
From Capt. NJ G. Blanchard, Quartermastcr
of the lst Georgia Cavalry, we have obtained
some interesting particulars of the expedition:
Col. Morgan has returned in safety to Ten
nessec, after one of the most daring and sue
cessful raids in the heart of an enemy's country
recorded in the annals of war. He left here
with about 1000 brave spirits, a portion of
whom were armed penetrated $50 miles into
country in full possession of the Federals-
course the actual distance travelled greatly cx-
cecded that.
He captured dozen towns and cities de-
stroyed Federal military stores and other pro-
perty, and railroad bridges, in all amounting
to eight or ten millions of dollars. lie took,
perhaps, over thousand prisoners, all of whom
he paroled. At Cynthiana, he encountered a
Federal force equal to his own, who after a
few hours fight, surrendered.
At Lebanon, he took between two and three
thousand stand of arms, half of which he re-
tanned and half destroyed. Here, also, he
burned half million dollars worth of Federal
army stores. he accomplished all this, besides
frightening the whole Yankee nation out of its
propriety, with the loss of not more than fifteen
or twenty men killed in all his engagements
and between thirty and forty wounded, and has
returned in triumph to Tennessee.
Where he is at present, and what will be his
next daring move, is of course, not a matter to
be divulged but it is certain that he and his
brave rangers cannot remain inactive.
History will hereafter record this expedition
as one of the most remarkably daring and sue
cessful ever made OH this continent.
We shall endeavor to give further particulars
of the result of this raid, as the Northern press
styles it in future ssue.-KmorviUe Register

CAUGHT AT THEIR TRICKs-A man by the
name of Borden, formerly connected with the
Southern Express Company, assisted by many
accomplices, has been engaged in smuggling
cotton to the Mi ssissippi river near Memphis,
and selling it to the Yankees. A few days
ago, they were found with 80 mules and sixty
bales Of cotton on their way to the Yankees.
Borden and one Rice, the ring-leaders, were
captured by Confederate soldiers, and carried
to Gen. Bragg, and we think it safe to predict
that they will test the tenacity of hemp. The
mules and wagons were taken into our lines
and the cotton DISQUALIFICATION Missip-

Lieut.. II. j. Spur.

In the death of this beloved young man and
officer, Massachusetts has added another
name to her roll of honor of heroes who have
given up their lives in defence of the Union
cause. Sad indeed is it, that so much early
vigorous manhood must be sacrificed, before
the right shall triumph; and yet how precious
is the legacy of valiant conduct which these
noble defenders leave behind them. Lieut..
Spur, at the time of the great uprising, was
in foreign land. Returning home, he quick-
ly caught the spirit of the times, and with a
love for his native country, increased by for
eign travel, he felt deep, earnest conviction
that his duty was in personal participation
in this contest. Fitting himself for the duties
of an officer, with that thoroughness charac-
teristic of him, he was rendered first lieut.
enant's commission in the 18th regiment,
which he held to the day of his death. He
possessed the qualities in high degree of a
commanding officer, fearless, collected, de-
termined, yet considerable and kind hearted;
respected alike by superior and inferior. In
a long acquaintance with the deceased the
writer will always remember the conscien-
tiousness and the high tone of character dis
played. He Graves permission to testify to
these things, and to tender in behalf of late
associates the deepest sympathy with the sor-
rowing family and friends.

What the Soldiers Need.

The following letter, from one of the most
skillful surgeons in the army, whose regiment
has seen as much active service as any, and
enjoyed exceptionable good health, contains
useful hints for the guidance of those who are
working for the soldiers. Incalculable as has
been the amount of suffering alleviated by the
efforts of our devoted women, it might have
been increased, could all their labors have
been directed by knowledge of the exact
needs of the soldier, and the channels through
and points to which their contributions should
have been sent =
''While thanking you sincerely, and the
warm-hearted ladies associated with you in
this labor of love-the alienation of distress
on the part of those who deserve so much
| from you-allow me to suggest, for your flu
ture guidance in such gifts, that the great inn
| pediment in active warfare is means of trans
| portation. This and most other regiments
have more lint, bandages, old cloths, pillows,
pillow cases, sheets, and blankets, than they
can carry on the march. If they have them
not, requsition from the surgeon or the
medical purveyor Immediately procures them.

ings. These things may be made useful in
the hands Of the sanitary commission, and in
the general hospitals. Neither these nor the
sheets and pillow cases, even if they could
be carried, can be washed on march, con-
sequently they are thrown away as soon as
dirty. Such gifts to the regiment, of which
we are the frequent recipients, send to the

can send nothing to it. When your bundles

oihcers do their duty, government has supplies
which they receive from medical purveyors
and quartermasters.
Send substantial under-clothing, which the
soldier may wear, that when sick he may ex-

As the president says, this puts us in mind
of a story. Curran was arguing case to a
jury before judge who hated the barrisier,
and every now and then shook his head
Fearing the effect these shakes might have ON
the jury, the witty lawyer stopped in his ar
gument, and remarked, ''You have noticed,
gentlemen of the jury, that his lordship has
habit of shaking his head. Persons unac-
quainted with his lordship would suppose that
he shook his head in token of dissent from the
positions l take. But L, gentlemen of the
jury, who am intimately acquainted with his
lordship, assure you that when his lordship
shakes his head, there's nothing in it.-Nele

MAJOR GENERAL WILLIAM NELsoN.-Gen.
Nelson, who was killed in Louisville, Mon
day morning, by Gen. Davis, was native of
Kentucky. He served in the navy from his
youth, being transferred to the army shortly
before the breaking out of the rebellion. He
he was made major general, assigned to the
command Of a division under Gen Buell. and
at the time of his death was in command of
the federal troops in Kentucky. His success
since his last promotion had not added to his
reputation. He was about 40 years of age, of
powerful and massive physique, extremely
uncouth and severe in his address, and had
won the title of "Bully Nelson" among his
familars.

Another philadelphia Rumor.

A special despatch from Washington to the
Philadelphia Inquirer, gives the following ru-
NOR of a proposition from the confederate
government to our own Of terms of peace by
restoration Of the Union upon sectional
basis:
sit is rumored here to-day says the In
qulrer's despatch, ''that the reason of the ex-
listing quietude on the part of both armies on
the upper Potomac is that commissioners are
now either IN or on their way to Washington,
sent by the confederate. congress, to propose
terms OF peace. These commissioners are
appointed by resolution introduced by Foote.
and acted upon by the rebel congress. In
speech made upon presenting the resolution,
Foote stated plainly the desperate plight the
contederacy is now in, and said that, as star
walton is already staring them in the face,
something must be done to stop this war, 9TH
er than fighting.
1.-The basis of peace which they propose is,
as | understand it, somewhat as follows: The
loyal states are to take all the territories Mis-
souri,, Tennessee, Kentucky and Maryland
and to make them free or slave states, as NAV
best please them. The cotton states are to be
permitted to have congress of their own, to
regulate their own domestic affairs only In
all other things to be again as one and an
inseparable people. For defensive and
offensive operations against other countries,
to be unity. In all matters of postal and

DEATH OF MAYOR Hummelshine, Congdon
Taber, mayor of our city, died at his resi-
dence on Morgan street, at twenty minutes
before O'Clock yesterday afternoon, aged At
years.
Mr.. Taber was first elected as mayor in the
winter of 1859, and filled that position to the
day Of his DEATH having at each successive
election had the strongest proofs of the public
confidence in his ability and integrity. He
had previously been member of the house
of representatives of the state, being the only
candidate on the democratic ticket elected in
the fall OF 1889, and in 1858 was a member
Of the constitutional convention Though
very popular, and with talents fitting him for
almost any position, he was never an aspirant
for political distinction, or a seeker for place;
and when first nominated for mayor, yielded
to the earnest solicitation of his personal,
more than his political friends.
1t is no disparagement to those who have
heretofore filled the office of chief magistrate
OF our city, to say that no one has more thor
oughly and acceptably discharged its duties
than has mayor Taber. Since the breaking
out Of the rebellion, his labors have been con-
unuous and exhausting; and we think it may
with entire truth be said that he is as really
a martyr in this war as any who has fallen
upon the field Of battle. With an eXtraordi-
nary capacity for the transaction of business,
of clear perception, of great method, he ac-
complished for our city an amount of work,
of which but few have any adequate concep-
ton. He had no thought of Sinking duty or
evadng responsibility; and this fact, coupled
with his great kindness Of heart and his CON
slant consideration for others, led him to a
system OF labor which overtasked his strength.
NO man could have done more; we know of
no one who would have done half as much.
Inc city has sustained an irreparable loss in
