Reported Surrender Of Union OeneFai
Morgan.
From the Richmond Dispatch, Sept. p
II correct the news from Cumberland
Gap is scarcely less important than that
from Manassas. Late last night it was
asserted that news had been received in
official quarters 10 the effect that the Yan-
kee General Morgan had attempted to cut
his way through our lines, and that he was
repulsed with great slaughter, after which
his entire command, amounting to some
10000 men, with their arms and equip
ments, surrendered to our force under
General E. Kirby Smith. There is every
reason to believe this statement is correct,
as it is well known that MOrgan's position
was decidedly precarious; but in view Of
the many similar reports received from
the same quarter it should be taken with
much caution.

The Last Ditch.

A considerable of : writer and traveller
observes that the great defect Of the Amer
leans is weakness in the backbone.
Here are parcel of men and women
going about terribly concerned and saying,
What shall we do if the rebels continue to
hold out after Mcclellan has beaten them?
What if they 60 to their mountains after
We have taken their sea.ports and the Mis-
sissippi, and continue to flourish the rebel
flag.
Really these are questions which don't
concern US at all. When we have got our
forts and custom houses, and re-opened
the Mississippi, and raised the blockade,
what happens in the interior will not mat
ter much. We shall not distress ourselves
if people collect there and call themselves
Confederates. They may call themselves
cannibals and barbarians if they like; and
Judging from the reports from Manassas
and Pittsbprg, the titles wsnld not be in
appropriate. If they try to eat any body
or commit robbery or murder, we shall
have to hang them, Of course. But other
wise, what need Of disturbing them?
These notions of "an unconquerable
people" Of 'dying in the last ditch" Of
burning ones house, and destroying ones
property, are mere gable, buncombe.-
No people in the world voluntarily doom
themselves to pauperdom for pride's sake
In every war there comes time when
men prefer their wife and babies to politi
cal ambition or theory. When we have
thrashed the rebels well, they will be readi.

TERRIBLE REBEL NEws.--Since the bat
lie Of Piusburg our city has swarmed WIN
rebel rumors of the most awful character.
Some suttlers moved their stores the other
day to follow the army, and il was reported
among the rebels that this was done to es-
cape being captured by the returning Con-
federate forces: They also won glorious
victory at Pittsburg without losing over
twenty men. They also captured the
who e Union army. Island No. 10 was
blown clean out of the river by one of Pill
lows torpedoes, carrying with it all the
federal gunboats so high that their frag-
ments are still dropping at intervals from
the clouds. Ben. McCulloch and Zollieof-
fer rode through the streets of this city last
night, in disguise. Col. Morgan passed
several hours with Governor johnson, at
the capitol, disguised as beautiful young
virgin of fifteen summers. General john
ston's ghost was seen at midnight by an
old lady sitting straddle on the shoulders
of the statute at the capitol, and whistling
Dixie with all his might. He hailed Nc
Culloch as he rsde by, but that distinguish
ed and sprightly individuals only reply

Another-Fo in Rebellion Captured.

AnOtner Fort IN RebeldOm Captured
Another blow struck on the Georgia
coast has rescued from the rebels Fort Pu-
laski. The fate which Sumter met the
year before from armed traitors has now
been meeted out at Pulaski by its proper
owners. The Fort is built on Cockspur
Island, IA miles from Savannah, and
guards the sea approaches Of that city and
the mouth of Savannah river. Its cost
was 1868, 1000. Below we give con-
densed account Of the capture:
On the morning of the 10th Gen. Gill
more sent to the fort, demanding an un-
conditional surren der. Olmstead replied
that he was there to defend, not 20 surren-
der, the fort.
Our batteries Immediately opened fire.
A few rounds shot away the flagstaff, but
it was replaced, and the firing kept up till
sunset. General Gilmore then placed a
battery at Boat Point, only 1000 yards
from the fort 10 breach the walls, and
commenced firing at midnight, for that
purpose, with PARROT and James guns.
On the morning of the llth two
breaches were discovered on the southeast
face of the fort, which at noon assumed
huge proportions, and about two o'clock
the rebel rag was hauled down. and the
white flag displayed, and the fort surren-
dered, Col. Olmstead stating that it was i'm
possible to hold out longer, our riAed shots
reaching the magazine, and most of his
guns being disabled.
The Second Connecticut Regiment took
possession that night. Union loss. one
killed and one slightly wounded; rebel loss
badly wounded and 385 prisoners.

8 Considerable discussion is being raised
as to who is to blame for the surprise OF
our troops at Pittsburg. Their lack Of
preparation for an attack of the enemy
SHOWS gross, disgraceful negligence some
where. Many Of our officers were bayo-
neted in their beds, and men were shot as
they were running hatless and bootless to
secure and strap on their requirements

A 6hrewd Yankee TTick---Is 1t a Crime
This funny story is told in a Washington
letter in the Philadelphia Inquirer:
"a few days ago the governments detec-
tives found that an ingenious Yankee was
printing large amount of rebel treasury
notes, of different amounts, mostly, how
ever, Of large denomina tons. They ar
ranged a time. and made descent upon
the Yank," wheD he was surrounded by
all his confederates, papers, &c. He
seemed surprised at the appearance of the
officers, but quietly went with them. He
said he was engaged in crippiing the rebel
treasury, and thought it very strange that
he should be molested, as he thought that
was their weakest point How is this? "
asked the astonished officer. "You see, -
said the Yapk, these are better than the
original article; the originals are worth
less: they are unau thorized by law; so
am not counterfeiting. l have not at
tempted to pass them for money, and really
cannot see how am doing wrong" "Ah"
said the detective, of course you were
not going to pass them, but you are going
to furnish them to the enemy" The Yank
then owned up that he was sending them
down to food the South, and destroy the
confidence of the people, when they sud-
denly found the whole country aooded with
q spurious issue, and their only circulation
rendered worthless. An investigation
showed thathe had really sent several hun.
dred thousand dollars through the South
wa Tennessee. and sold them at from thir-
ty to fifty cents o y the dollar. The case
Was daily reported to Secretary Seward. the
whole apparatus seized, aud the man al

The Secretary frankly admitted that this
is the toughest case he has met during the
war, and he forthwith turned it orer TO tie
Secretary Of War. who has not yet conclu-
ded what to do with the case. Samples Of

Johnston, was found by our men upon the
battlefield of Shiloh, and first recognized
by Brig. Gen. Nelson, who had know him
when Johnston was an honored officer in
the old army. His features were also recog-

one of Johnston's teamsters In the famous
Utah expedition.
Geo. W Johnston, Provisional Govern

first discovered, was also identified by
similar circumstances. He was dressed
in plain citizens clothes. He received
