JOIN Morgan,s Escape.

John Morgan with his command, made
narrow escape from Elizabethtown on
Tuesday morning. Gen. Boyle had in
formation of his presence at Elizabeth
town, and Immediately ordered Colonel
Day, of Illinois, with force of twelve
hundred men, to proceed to Elizabeth
town by railroad to make the capture.
The remainder of the story has been re-
lated by Major Compton, of New Albany,
to the Ledger. Major Compton accom-
panied Col Day in the capacity of a vol
unteer guide, Col ID. being unacquaint-
ed with the topography of the country.
At Muldraugh's Hill, to the astonish-
ment of all, the whistle of the locomo-
tive sounded, and the train, with a bril-
liant headlight burning, stopped upon
the top of the hill, where the light could
be plainly seen to Elizabethtown, and
the arrival of the troops certainly known.
Major G.. suggested to Colonel d. the
propriety of covering the headlight with
blankets, and moving the train with the
least possible noise. He also suggested
that the forces at once disembark, and
be divided in such a manner as to ap-
proach and surround Morgan's camp,
and take him by surprise Being ci-
william, of course shoulder-straps paid no
attention to his suggestions. The, result
was that Morgan got away. ~. r7sriIT
Major Compton finally, at the sugges-
ton of Col Day, accompanied by anoth-
er civilian, started out to reeonnoitre
Morgan's situation. They had proceed
ed but short distance when both were
captured, and each mounted behind a.
cavalryman, were soon in Elizabethtown,
where they were at once conducted into
Morgan s presence.
Previous to the arrival of the prison
ers, Morgan had robbed the post-offie,
and the mail bags and large amount of
mail matter lay scattered about Nor
gan's room. Morgan told Major c. that
he had made good haul of green
backs " out Of that little operation.
After being closely questioned, the
prisoners were put under guard in Nor
gan room, where they remained till the
celebrated thief left the town Morgan.
says Major Compton, was greatly alarm
ed lest he should be captured. In ques-
toning Major Compton his voice trem-
bled. and he betrayed every evidence of
alarm lest large Federal force was pdrS
suing and would surprise him. e

EG Quite brilliant affair occurred
day before yesterday, which has not yet
found its way into the newspapers
Capt Bailey, of the twenty-seventh Ken
tucky volunteers, who, with three of his
men, was absent from his regiment on
detached duty, happened in Bardstown
just after Morgan and his marauders had
burned the wagon train in that vicinity.
Thinking it possible he might save some
of the Government property, Captain B.
and his men rode on TO where the wagons
had been burned. Having secured a
number Of tee mules that the rebels had
left by driving them into an enclosure,
he saw party of rebel cavalry coming
up the road, and, before the Captain knew
how many there were, he told his three
men they would have to, give them the
best fight they could, to which they readi-
ly consented, and, drawing their pistols,
dashed at them and demanded their sur
render The rebels, considering discre-
ton the better part of valor, threw up
their hands, suffered themselves to be
disarmed, and marched off to this city,
where the Captain delivered them up to
the proper authorities The result of the
skirmish was the capture of four priso-
ners, with their arms, and four horses.

OLD EAGLES AND VESTS.

The Girarl (Pa.) Union last week gives
the following interesting account OF an old
couple of Eagles, their troubles and their
constancy. 1t says:
Sixty years ago, when the township was
settled, pair Of Eagles, Of the white head
ed or bald species, had a nest in a tall tree
on the farm Of Mr.. Kelley. They were not
disturbed, and for twenty years they occu-
pied the nest, annually rearing and sending
'orth brood Of Eagles when a violent storm
overturned the tree, and ofcourss destroyed
their habitation. They then rebuilt their
airy home on a lofty and inaccessible Syca-
more, on the farm Of Riley Pettibone, ad-
joining Mr.. hel'y's and enjoyed aquiline
happiness with uninterrupted security for
forty years longer, raising 10 Eas|ebood two
or three chicks yearly. A few weeks ago .
high wind wrenched of the limb on:aininc
the nest and threw it to the ground with
such energy that it was torn to atoms and q
young and very bald eagle killed. The
nest was large, being made Of about ten
bushels Of sticks and leaves. This aged
and pcrsevering couple are now making =
third nest on another sycamore near the one
'ately destroyed. How old these birds are is
not known, but that they are the same pair
found here by earliest settlers, there is no
coobt. They are so long familiar with the
presence Of men that they can b approach
ed within = few feet and their great age
co"stancy. and friendliness have given them
the respect OF the neighbors who would turn
out enmasse and mob the unlucky sports
man who should attempt to shoe, or despoil
this royal family.
