ANorHBR BIOGRAPHY OF CAPTAIN JoHx H. MoR

sAx.-We find the following in the Atlanta Ga. j Common wealth It will be found interesting:
 Capt John H. Morgan, we are informed by a very intelligent gentleman who knows him, and is con- nectei with his command, is descendant of that noble old hero of revolutionary memory, Gen. Daniel Morgan. He is only thirty years of age, and is consequently in the prime of vgor and manhood He is s native of Lexington, Ky, where he had pro Eerty valued st $500 900 He has been married, but his wife died last al about three weeks before he linked his destinies his beloved South leaving him chdess, with little to live, fight and die for, but the new republic,
 Originally he waa captain of the Lexington riaes, which was company A, ot Col. Hansons regiment or tho State guard of Kentucky; but in accordance with
 firm determination 70 die in defence of the rights of his section rather than live where those rights tramped upon, he left Camp Charity the night Of the 22d of September as at the head of about 45 or 50 picked men.
 Capt Morgan's squadron consists now of fourcom- ranies, viz: hs own, tho Lexington rhes, which is company A; company B, Capt. rhomss W. Allen, whn-e brother Jack Allen, is Breckinrdges statf company c, Capt. Bowles; snd company D, Capt. Churchwell; and numbering in all abou. 250 men Morgan commando as the senior captain, having de- clined superior ppointmcnt, because he had mag unanimously pledSed himself to roain with and share the fa:c of his brave followers. His command tho plain costume of private citizens and Capt Nor gan himsef is without any distinguishing mark, and slways rides with rife in hand and ready for action.
 The sdjutsn. of the squadron Is Lieut.. E. Duke, VI no maIrlei ChpI TolSaAs Astef lne nlgnI Dcfore the squadron left Lexington. Each captain, many subordinate officers and privstes Of this daring dash ing body of warriors, represented to be well quail! feI to head and lead them to victory, should their idolized commander fall upon the field. The entire squadron Is composed of Kentuckians, the majority of whom men ofweath and inhuence and moral social worth, tie of such robust. salwart and hsrdy, sl well mounted and amply equipped.
 Their undying devotion to each other, their rapders and the cause they have espoused account, for their ardor and si2or, and cnviable distinction they have already so goriousy won, and the terror with which they have inspired the invaders hos.s.- God grant that the gallant Morgan and his brave command may be long spared to strike terror into their hearts, and that for every of them elain .hozsand may spring up to take his place and svsuge his death.
