Morgan's Return.

. "A portion of Col. John Morgan g
command, consisting of the 1st Georgia
Rangers returned tosthis city yester-
day. From Captain M. G. Blanchard,
auartermaster of the first Georgia cav
airy, we have obtained some interesting
particulars Of the. expedition. S
], Col. Morgan has returned in safety to
Tennessee, after one of the most daring
and successful raids into the heart Of
an enemy's country recorded in the, an
nails ofwar. He left here with about
1000 brave spirits, portion of whom
were armed penetrated 250 miles into
a country in full possession Of the Fed
erals--this distance we give as the ,di-
rect line, of course the actual distance
travelled greatly exceed that.
He captured a dozen towns and cities,
destroyed Federal military stores and
other property, and railroad bridges, in
all amounting to eight or ten millions
Of dollars. He!took perhaps over q
thousand prisoners, all of whom he pa
rolled; At Cynthiana he encountered
a Federal force equal to his own, who
after few hours, fight surrendered.
At Lebanon he took between two, and
three thousand stand of arms, half which
he retained, and half destroyed: Here
also he burned half a; million dollars
worth of. Federal army stores. He. ac-
complished all this. besides frightening
the whole Yankee nation out of its pro
.priety, with the loss Of not more than
fifteen or twenty men killed in all his
engagements, and. between thirty and
forty wounded, and has returned in tri-
umph to Tennessee. . p:
. Where he is at present, and what will
be his next daring move, is, of course,
not a matter to be:diyulged, but it is
certain that he and his brave rangers
cannot remain inactive. 80. ~. 81

Why is it that the Government holt

Why is It that the Government holds
back information from the people? !? Do
they conceive this is the way to inspire
confdence?f No other Government
would dare thus to trifle with the peo-
pie. Had the English Government
dared do SO in the war of the Crimea,
there would have been danger of a pop
ular revolution. Why disguise, too,
the extent of the disaster? The public
mind, under such circumstances, mag
ines from this portentous silence that it
is q great deal worse than it really is.
Nothing, surely, is gained by such a
policy. !

By a gentleman who is just from the
Valley Of Virginia. we learn that on
Tuesday last the enemy was not on this
side of Winchester, their pickets being
posted on the. outskirts of the town.
Their force there has been recently In
creased by the addition Of some raw re-
cruits, and probably numbers at this
time about $500 men. They have es-
tabhshed very strict non-intercourse
with the region on this, side but relia-
BILE accounts represent them as being in
a very alarmed state. They are said
to have been reducing their stores by
sending them back towards the Poto.
mac, and holding themselves as ready
generally to stampede as soon as they
hear the tramp of Jackson's foot caVal-
nv. Besides this force the = Yankees
have about three hundred men at Front
Royal. - - = -. e
The desertions from the Yankee force
are very numerous, and constantly oc-
curing. The men say they are tired
.ofthe war. Many have disguised them

We have taken a walk through Col.
Duncan 8 engraving establishment, and
find it one of the most complete that
could be conceived. of. In fact, We are
assured that, in capacity and facilities
for transacting business, it is only sur
passed,by ,Lemercier's, in Paris It is
gratifying to. know that it will be per-
manently located here, as such an es-
tablishment must necessarily add to the
prosperity Of city: Col: Duncan was
the first. man in Kentucky: though
ChairmanGof the Bell and Everett State
Committee: to make assecession speech
after the election of Lincoln, and was
the first man, also, to lead a regiment
to Virginia ten days: after the fall OF
Sumter. For his sdefenceof South Car:

saults Of that black guard, George D.
Prentice. of the Louisville ,Jo1rnak he
should be warmly weleomedas a citizen
of this State, who. has preferred prin-
ciple to disgraceful safety and wealth IN
his former home. 49,, -:
The establishment which, ~contendmg
against every obstacle, he has finally
succeeded in fixing upon finn founda-
| ton, consists of twenty-fous presses at
present. Eight additional printers ar
rived upon the Herald, who were sent
for in May to Liverpool and six others
will shortly arrive from Paris, when the
number Of presses at work will be thir-
ty-eight: The engravers and other per-
sons connected with the establishment
| have been selected from the best shops
ofthe Old World, regardlesaof expense,
and the character and style Of the work
to be done will give satisfaction to the
most exacting. AS our signal victory
near Richmond will probably lead, be.
fore many months, to'a restoration Of
peace, every preparation is now being
made by Col. Duncan to procure all the
necessary supplies and materials to meet
the demand which may then arise from
thevarious States, banks, corporations,
&c., upon the resumption of business in
| it's old channels. With the whole force
working, 100000 notes daily could be
struck off, so that prompt execution Of
orders will necessarily follow. 30
Heretofore, nothing has been done
by him except for the Government, and
! their wants will, of course, be first sup
Piled. When eacedispenses with thai
necessity, the entire South can be at
tended to here.

e@H It appears to be pretty evident
that this wal must soon become one wa
ged under the black flag: The recent
orders issued by the Lincoln military
authorities, leave no other alternative.
They confscate all property, they drive
off from their homes all families who
will not take the oath of allegiance in
fact they respect none Of the rules OF
civilized warfare. That, under these
circumstances, they should be killed

way and under all circumstances and
by all means and, appliances, is only
right and proper and natural. Retail

of which, however, had the courage to

for some time, came up and offered to
surrender as a prisoner Of war. They
were both with the others in uniform,

White men found in arms with ne.

Virginia. We can see no good reason
why the law should not be enforced
against the Lincolnites now invading
our soil, stealing our property, and il
melting insurrection, as well as against
John Brown and his associates. The
only difference between them is, thai
Lincoln's officers are doing what Joh1
Brown attempted to do. We believe il
would be perfectly right and proper fo'
Governor Brown to issue proclama
ton warning the Federals that our law
on this subject will be rigidly enforced
and if the white men are captured by
our troops, with armed negroes, fight

The COMPLETE DEc1MATIoN OF Nc
CLELLAN's ARMY.-Despite the efforts
in the North to suppress everything
tending to show the losses and decima-
ton of McClellan's army, we find ad-
missions in some of their papers that
fully confess to the fearful slaughtering
of his army in the recent battles before
Richmond, and its complete decin1ation
by the campaign on the Peninsula
For instance, what could more plainly
admit the losses of Mcclellan and the
shattered condition of his army than
the following paragraph from the Bos-
ton Herald: The deadly miasmas of
the Chickahominy swamp and the fear
full seven days fight with the Confed-
crates have made wide gaps in the ranks
of McClellan's army, and as many
more are still .enfeebled by disease, that
regiments asov are scarcely more than
companies n, the number Of men.
There is still a feeling of confidence
| in their General among some Of the Of
GERS and men, but many of them have
lost their faith in his prowess, and one
officer high in rank, remarked that if
they had all the men in the world they
could not reach Richmond under Nc
Clellan's lead. Indeed, any hope Of
reaching Richmond from that direc-
ton before spring, and even with one
hundred thousand additional men, seem
ed not to be entertained.
The Newark (New Jersey Journal
says: -.
/ Is it not a singular circumstance,
that while we can count to q man the
4 loss sustained in the recent battles up
on the Peninsula by the Confederates,
We know nothing concerning our own
losses? Retreating from an advancing
foe so rapidly that we are compelled tc
leave our dead and dying in the enemy's
hands, our troops are reported as know
ing to fraction the number of men
killed of the enemy. Have We any
kind of shell or bali that, whenever ii
strikes down a Confederate, reports the
fact in our camp? If not, how is il
that we can obtain so soon the Confed.
crate loss, while it has taken us months
to ascertain our own? That the Con-
federates lost heavily we can very well
believe, but that a pursuing enemy
should lose more than the pursued is an
absurditY. We saw captain yester.
day, who has returned wounded, who
says our losses waU foot up nearer forty
Thousand than thirty, while the loss in
stores, wagons, cannon, &c., will amount
to several millions.
He says that our seige guns THAT
were mounted on the entrenchments
were all left to fall into the hands Of
the enemy. The general impression o1
the officers of the army that he convers'
ed with, is that an advance movement
! cannot take place for several months.
