was greeted with a few shot and shell

manifestations Of Joy by the citizens

ken-hags waving. men cheering, wo-
men singing patriotic songs. Many a
sincere "God bless you." was uttered
as we passed along.
Ere this the readers of the Register

some of the brsvest fighting; yet was

to him. The Cd, late Summers, is

Banks, was assigned three days ago

the corps are under Burnside, the three
remaining ones to the north and west
of us, the 5th, lst and 9Th, are com.
manded respectively by Fitz John Pof-

tinue to report directly to Gen. McClel-

~ General George W. Morgan has
had his Headquarters in Gallipolis for
some days past, awaiting a forward
movement on KaBawhs. One Brigade
under DeCourey has already crossed
the Ohio, and that nndef Gen. Carter
will shortly follow. 1t was something
of sight to witness the entry Of these
forces, and their march through our
town. Although the boys still bore
the marks of their severe march from
Cumberland Gap, yet the good order
and soldierly bearing they manifested,
indicated the thorough discipline and
drill to which they had been subjected
by their officers. General Morgan as a
scholar, gentleman, and soldier, occu-
pies high, rank. and has every way
shown himself worthy OF the high en-
comiums passed upon bin by Generals
Taylor and Scott during the Mexican
war. Il is true that be has in this war,

and . capable OF great effect, il es-
tabKsbed As practice. Hitherto the
impression has been that esrnestness
in the cause. and vigor in generalship
were the only elements dangerous to q
Generals permanency in command
Hitherto a commander was renoved
from the head OF an advancing army,
IN the vicinity of the enemy, and after
successful pursuit. Hitherto rooted
iuaction has rooted the hold OF Gene

remarkable. t.e,
It is impossible to calculate the con-
sequences if this precedent should be
