We have had sn abundance q. r,,,uors to-day in

our forces from Cumberland Sap under sonsra George

gence from quarters that ought to be fully pos,oi.
Briefly, IL ~ stated that John Morgan attacked our
forces with his cavalry, bat repusei with hsayy
loss, and that he had applied Tor reiporceents from
quarter not likely to afford them IN time be or sory ice
TO him in impeding the onward march of General Nor
gan.
1t seems that General Morgan WIS obliged 20 leave
about i've hundred OF hs sick either at the Gap the
march, whom pressed by the enemy, apd they fe OF
course, into The rebel hands. With The exception
OF some cattle, / cnnnot learn that lie has lost
anything on the route. lie must certainly
be uron the ohio river to-day, although his
marches for the past two or three days have probably
been short IN order % give needed repssc to his coscre
and worn out soldiers who have been long the road
and must be nearly used mp. As e get: IN
nvnuaiol with headquarters may be abio to give The
particulars of his evacuation OF the Gap the retreat and
his engagements with ths enemy. HIS force will play an
important part IN the coming campaign.
Major General Granger Is in town, and will have an
important and active command As he belongs to the
fighting school, shall undoubtedly hear from him here
after.
