ONE OF MoRaAN's: Tricks. -Paroled
prisoners recently returned TO Knoxville
from Cumberland Gap tell the. following
story of Colonel Morgan, furnished to the
Columbus Enquirer by q correspondent Of
that paper. 1t seems shat.thes Federals at
the Gap: had no news whatever Of Morgan
being between them and their brethren,
and kicking up old Harry: generally. At
some point between them and Lexington,
Morgan secured, the telegraph line and
telegraphed them the capture of Vicksburg,
including 10000 prisoners; that MeCleE
Ian had made sortie from Berkeley with
his whole army, routing the :Goufederates,
and capturing 10000 prisoners. The tel
egraphiug was kept up for some time be
tween himselfaud the operator and Geu.
Morgan (Yankee) until the famous Jack
had elected all the reformation he wanted.
In the meantime the Yankeus were making
the cliffs Of old Cumberland resound with
their three times three for the Uuion.-
Morgan then,very quietly telcgraphed the
Yankee General over his own proper sig
nature, that haviog obtained from him all
the information he desired, he would now
bid him good morning. Their Joy was
suddenly turned to rage and modification i
curses deep and bitter we're uttered against

Maryland . With allEthe efforts that had
been made, and pathetic appeals through
the war newspaper, not more than twenty
men had enlisted I'm Baltimore up to- the
18th of July. Already large numbers of
young men are preparing to leave should
the alternative besadopted, audsof those
who remain there will be found but few
who can be depended on to fight on the
side Of. the NORTH. Deserters from the
Federal army daily pass through the South
.ern counties of Maryland, going home, aud
the people help them along their way very

have been deceived-that they didn't en-
list to fight for niggers !; but the majority
declare that they have seen enough b of:tbe
