Defeat of Morgan's Banditti.
Desperate Fight Of an Hour and
q Half!
From the Louisville Democrat, July

From the Louisville Democrat, July 20
We have some good news al last, as an Offset
TO that which has filed our local columns for
the last three or four days We get II from
the officers on last nights train from Lexing-
ton.
At 2 o'clock yesterday morning, Gen. Green
Clay Smith left Lexington with 900 cavalry
and two pieces OF light artillery for Paris. Be.
tween and O'Clock be found MOrgan's forces
encamped on Garret Daviss farm, In the vicin-
ity OF Paris, fell upon them suddenly, and after
a pretty severe fight Morgan was put TO flight,
after losing large number killed, and fifteen
captured. Smiths losses are not stated, but
are said to be light.
Morgan took the road TO Winchester, and Col.
Metcalie, with COO cavalry, joined Gen. Smith
The retreating column was hotly pursued by
the combined forces the retreat being turned
into q r0ut.
This is the news as reported In Lexington
when the cara lett, by messengers direct from
The battle ground. Dispatches TO the same
effect were received in the city last evening.
The result oi the pursuit may be reported 10
IN by telegraph. We sincerely trust Gen.
Smith will succeed in cutting Aorgan's forces
entirely TO pieces killing or capturing the
whole band.
P.S.-At midnight the dispatch from Lex
ington, published in another column, came To
mana. IL conveys no laIer news tnan that
brought by the train, but II gives the number
Of guerilas captured as only twelve, instead OF
100, ss reported on the train.
We understand that Gen. BOyle's dispatches
agree In the main with the dispatch from Lex
ingtOn, but we should think there should have
been later news in Lexington than the reporter
sendI us.

We received Intelligence by telegraph anl
train from Lexington, on Saturday, Of the sur,
prise and total rOut of John Morgan . iorCei

very lew details beyond the fact that Gen
Smith left Lexington at midnight on Friday
and surprised the marauders, who were en-
camped on the Hon. Garrett Davis's farm
Gen. Smiths command embraced about ] ,0OO
cavalrymeR and two pieces Of fsld artillery
Morgan's loss Is reported by telegraph 10 be
ten in killed and twelve In prisoners, his forces
fleeing towards Winchester, Clark county
leaving their baggage behind, being hOtly
pursued by Gen. Smith. There were no casu
alties IN General Smith, command. General
Boyle received later Information last evening,
which ads him to believe that the rebel rout
was more disastrous than at first reported

NEWS OF THE DAY.
THE WAR.

fredericksburg was captured yesterday by Gen
Burnside, with no serious opposition except for
time to prevent the construction Of the pontoOy
bridges. Nearly $50 pieces of artillery were urnet
partially burned. The details given by our specia
and other dispatches will be eagerly perused. The
enemy retired to their line Of works and it Is pre-
sumed an actual battle will sooE occur
We hear more of the devastation made by the
pirate Alabama. schooner from Guadeloupe
brings the crews Of several vessels destroyed. The
Levi Starbuck was captured Nov. 9; the T. b.
Wales was taken on the Sth. The pirate was at
Martinique the 18th, where both vessel and crew
were hailed with JOY. The L. S. ship San Jacinto
arrived the same afternoon, and, finding the Alaba-
INA IN port, Immediately got under way and proceed
cd outside the harbor to await the departure Of the
Alabama. On the i8;h at 10 p. H., the Alabama

lying off the ha'bor on the 22d. One Of the de-
stroyed vessels was caught in characteristic man
ner. The mate says: "When the steamer saw us,
she t1rned toward us, as if on a friendly mission
AZ she approached nearer we could distinctly zee
the American flag, and her signal Numbers spelled
tie word Tuscarora. When near us she fired gun
scross our bows and ran up the Rebel flag. Capt
Lincoln was ordered to come on boa,d with his pa
pes. He coon returned with the first lieutenant Of
the steamer, who informed us that we were prize
10 the Confederate Government"
News to a later date from Savannah states that
the iron-clad steamer Fngal is ready for service.
Her guns are four ll-inch Of an improved pattern.
The ladies' gunbost is failure. Com. Tatnall has
condemned her as a movable vessel, and she will be
used as floating battery to protect the city. The
Fingal ia considered by Tatnall as Merrimac No 3,
and he promises to retake Fort Pulaski with her by

Another reason which greatly contribute, IA
the popularity of Prince Alfred, is his rsU,.
iOus affinity with the Greeks. A large part,
both in the Church Of England and in that n
Greece, look upon the State churches Of ttsu
two countries as substantially one sud III.

Prince Alfred, on accepting the throne. vii
have no objection to identifying himself at Ouc,

Greeks regard as an indispensable condition

Eastern Europe. There can be, therefore, bus

Tie Ne,o- York Times of yesterday, in an ar
ticle on the scarcity of paper, makes an arsu'
ment for reduction of the duty on paper
of foreign production, which, it states, is
thirty per cent; but the duty On foreign paper
Of every description is thirty-fye per cent.
Whether the reduction, or even the total abo-
liton OF this duty, would lessen the price Of
paper ia very questionable, for the same cause,
scarcity of cotton which has created the
rise in the price of paper here must cause
corresponding advance in the price of the arti-
