General George w. Morgan.

MEssRs. Editors; It may interest your
readers to be reminded that Gen. Nor
gan's late successful retreat was not his
iirst exploit in that line. Just previous
to the battle of Buena Vista, in Mexico.
ne was Colonel of an Ohio regiment. as
signed to the disagreeable duty of con-
veying provision trains from Camargo. on
the Rio GraRde, TO Monterey. Informa-
ton reached him that General Santa An
ma was marching on General TAYLOR with
an overwhelming force, and had sent
General Urea around with four thousand
cavalry to cut off his supplies and inter-
eept his retreat Morgan was then at
Ceralyo with only battalion of about
300 men, and had to decide immediately
whether to attempt to reach the river i'm
the rear, or Monterey, more than sixty
miles distant in front. He decided In
attempt the latter. He then gathered all
ms stores and wagons, except one. into
the middle Of the Plaza and burned them
ana then formed his men in a hollow
square, with the one wagon in the mid
ule, ana started on his perilous retreat far
l0afd, Soon Urea and his 1000 horse
men appeared and formed. in the frat
open space, for a charge. threatening IN
ride down the little band of briatl;no,
Dayonets But they rode furiously only
To- break and scatter before reaching the
rock OF their own destruction. Again
and again they formed at every conve-
nient place, only to go through with the
same vancouver. Never could Urea.
with all his efforts get his men np 10
the point of the boyonet or often within
convenient reach of cold lead; while on
ward, went the resolute three hundred
never resting, excepting for few mo-
ments at a time, in their tracks and with
their arms in their hands, during the
whole long march. In the meantime
General Taylor had defeated Santa An
ma and fallen back with portion Of bia
army to Monterey. From that place he
sent out several miles two field pieces
which drove of Urea and enabled Nor
gan's men to relax a little. But when
ne ended the march many Of them were
more nearly dead than alive. He had
however accomplished his object, with
the loss OF only one man wounded. and
he on the top Of the wagon.

march was eysr made by body Of men
in arms. by many, acquainted with All
the circumstances, II was considered one
OF the most remarkable feats of the Next

and Banks, among the very. few Generals
