From tie St. Louis Republican. Sept
Cumberland Gap.


We think there must be some truth in
the report which comes to us from the
South, of the evacuation of Cumberland
Gap, by Gen Morgan Richmond papers
of last Saturday 'contain a dispatch
from Knoxville, dated on the 10Th, about
forty miles from the Gap, stating that
the position was abandoned on the pre-
ceding Thursday night and that Gen
Morgan's forces were being pursued by
the rebel Gen. Stevenson. 1t is not
mentioned what direction Morgan took
This result has not been altogether
unlocked for. The forces nc the Gap,
some ten thousand in number, had for
wees been upon half rations, and had
at length been reduced to a dependence
upon what supplies could be obtained
by foraging parties, sent out at consid-
cradle peril. The place was completely
invested in the rear and on two sides
while in front - towards Tennessee
movements were watched by scouts and
dctachmcnts of observation. Cumbcr-
land Gap was imprcguablc TO attack by
the force the rebels could command, and
General Morgan had determined to hold
Oul--to NNf 'blVItNl hAAtN IN lli'HNlNt
wOrd-"till the cows tails drop Off"
rather than surrender if defending the
post was considered at all requisite
TO the military plans Of his supe-
riors Hoping for assistance in due
time, he cconomised his commssarY
stores and asked of his command that
they should subsist on short allowance
until the relief came. The commander
was nobly supported by his troops, who
during the whole siege have given an ex-
ample of fortitude, endurance, patience
and sclf-sacriiice worthy Of commenda-
tiOn and imitation. IL was expected
that Gen, BUELL. would be able to send
the required relief, but his forces were
not large enough to enable him 10 do so
without danger of his whole corps be-
ing annihilatcd in detail by the invading
forces Of General Bragg Cumberland
Gap was isolated, and since the rebels
had succeeded in getting into Kentucky
in large force its value as a Federal post
has greatly diminished To General
Morgan there were two alternatives. lie
had either TO remain until starvation
compelled the garrison to surrender, or
TO cut his way out and make the best of
a had situation. In choosing the latter,
as we have no doubt he has done, he
may have relied for the extrication of his
command upon very considerable weak
eniug Of the investing enemy, in conse-
qucnce Of the movements of Braggs and
! Kirby Smiths forces in the interior. IL
is very PROBABLE this expectation is well
founded And though we are told that
at last accounts he was being pursued,
that he may succeed in getting away with
his troops 10 ioiu General Buell., If Gen.
Morgan shall be able TO do this, he will
have accomplished a feat that, added TO
his past splendid conduct, will make him

Norman Aristocracy 80

A correspondent OF thsI Boston T,oa'-
osspt has taken up an article from a South
crn paper in which the writer claims that
the SOutherners are NOmans--evidently
under the delusion that 10 be a Norman
is to be something superior TO the average
human family, When we consider how
most Of the Southern States were settled,
this pretence Of superior blood becomes
ludicrous However as the rebels claim
TO be Norman, so be it, Now, who were
the Normans;
Michelct describes them in his history
of France ne the pedars Of Europe. lie
says they wandered through Europe,
talking through their noses, stopping cy-
erywhere they could make a iitlle money
or, as they expressed il, "partout on il
await quelque chose a gaHgler' He
says the same Norman would one day be
pcdlar of knick-knacks and the next
day the leader of a band6f adyonturers
who were employed in robbing on the
highway or seizlng upon lands Cor, occa-
sion offering, upon thrones which did
not belong 10 them. Thus the Norman
aristocrat was part pedlar, part knight.
The Norman cavalier, that so much is
said about, was half soldier of fortune
of the Dugald Dalgotty stamp, and half
Yankee pcdlar OF She style described by
the Southern newspapers,
The Norman character SO far from be-
ing romantic and aristocratic, is, and all
ways has been, decidedly vulgar Toe

NoumaDs of any person You meet in
France, you will be informed that the
Normans Ht l iags ro-lus, which, be-
