NASHVILLE, August I8.-We have been again
cut eff by John Morgan from the civilized
world-even from Kentucky. AT Gallatin, af-
ter 90 picking up a sleeper" in the csptUre Of
d sEiel B1oue'5 illustriUus descendant, and the
men under bin, John had levee, understand.
1t is asserted by sUndry persons of uuimpeacha-
bic veracity that no less hlsn one hundred and
twenty ladies Of GaIlatin and its vicinity had
him by the cOat-tsil at one and the same time.
They came in with their loyal husbands from
the country, in sWarms, drawn in their carriages
by horses which Col RJoue ought to hsva i'm
pressed long ago, and driven by sleek greasy
negroes he ought to have used in cutting timber
to build stockades, and brou ght with them choice
victuals tor the brigandg.
When cur transitOry expedition was made by
Col. Miller, in time cnly to find q few straggers,
it is said captain OF artillery disguised the
nerves Of some feminine Confederaies By iudica-
ting his intention to cannonsde tue houses, as
Morgan could NOT be found. ''Well, boys, we
can't catch up with Morgan on his fine blooded
horse, bat here are the people who fed him. So
you may just uulimber your guns and we'll take
pull or two ct the town of Gallatin." lie was
careful to e! the guilty fair ones hear all hs said
and TO have some motions made as if to obey
| his orders, though he had no intention to make
| the joke serious. A number of ladies', whose

Of repairing damages. l think, if he can be a.

lighted with the fruits of his visit to that place.
Il is true the Secesh had very little to say about
! him. They felt delicacy in expressing their
/ opinion. But Union men were almost unani-
nous in their Communications.
l am impressed with the belief that while
| Morgan was at Gallatin and at HartsvilIe, fur
! ther up the river, certain movements of ours
which / don't feel at liberty to disclose, had him
pretty well hemmed in But l doubt exceed
| ingly whether we will ever catch him, or any
otnor marauder who comes with a mounted force
so long as we are afraid to impress horses. We
have YallandighammeTs now among our officers,
who will not let rs draw aid from ths enemy
| Aud it is currently believed that agents of sub
sstence here are paying Secssh sixty cents pei
bushel, i'll greenbacks, for corn, and $50 per ton
for hay, Do you suppose if the Confederates
could get over into Indiana and Ohio, they
would pay greenbacks for corn and hsyl Dc
you suppose they would be at loss for herses

gave an exhibition at Gallatin of their natural
readiness 70 use all the help they can get
When they captured seventy horses of ours OIL
the cars they had them mounted with recruits
raised in the county If Sumner IN a very few
minutes after they led them from ths cars.
