from It hoated the flag ct tho United statee.-
This fay, they seized md carried of with
them, having Il at the head OF the column o..
the next day as they passed through Union
Vile in this county. Leaving Farmiugton
they came up the turnpike towards Shelby,
Vile three miles to Palmetto.
Asre Col Morgan, dressed IN Federal uni
form, passed himself Oh Us Col johnson of
tbs Federal cavalry, and claimed for himself
and his party aid as such. He succeeded for
while In imposing on Mr. Montgomery, but
the disguise under which Col. Morgan and
his squadron we're eoncealed, was penetrated
By our friend Hontgonlery's daughter, q
tr5ght.eyed, Intelligent girl, who detected
the difference IN dress and equipments.
At this point, Col Morgan commenced tax
irg the properly Of our citizens. He pressed
seven horses Of Nj. Thomas Montgomery,
one horse Of Samuel Carpenter, and appro
priated for the use Of his squadron about four
hundred dollars worth pf the goods ID the stors
~ot Montgomery and Carpenter, and also about
fifty barrels OF Ar. IoRsgomery's cora and
several hundred pounds Of bacon-chiedy
hans-and without paying one cent. Colonel
Morgan was told that one OF the horses he was
taking belonged to son Of Ar. Montgomery,
ofthe Confederate army. He sneeringly re-
piled That such soldiers Gid not deserve to
be protected''
Leaving Montgomery's at half past s
O'clock on Saturday morning, the squadron re-
traced their steps to Farming ton, thence 60
they reached road leading across Rqak river
at Whites bridge, the frat brIdga d d river
east Of Columbia, all the others - been
burned by the Confederates several waGks ago.
On crossing the bridge he pressed two horses
from William cro~el; then passing through

open arms by p31tion Of our citizens aud
covered nth hoquets By the lsdic.. Beyond
Catonyil1e, and nr2r Alfred Ransom's, he took
from z, B. Moore 8na Wilson MaxfeId all the
horses they had-raluable horses-and moved
on. These gentlemen are true and staunch
Union men
Col Morgan and squadron was at Union,
yiIle about one O'Clock in the evening TheY
passed on to Rover, where ne near they Bere
guided By William 6. Hight to Versailles, and
from there to Salem Camp Ground, where they
encamped Saturday night
On Sunday Col. Morgan and squadron passed
between Murtreesboro' and Nashville, nea,
Smyrna, crossing the railroad, cutting the tel
egTsph wire, and tearing up the rail on the
turing q train on the railroad, but fortunately
tailed. Crossing the railroad, they passed OF
sut1f1,v over to Lebanon, In Wilson comfy.
During the, S!hole time that this bold move
meDt mas being maas, they were carefully
watched, pursued, and finally routeu.
We close By expressing our utter failure in
comprehending the motives that would induce
Col Morgan to make such fo5ay, unless Il
ras to seize the bank of Middle Tennessee, o1
which we learn that Ex-Governor Campbell
and 8. T. Motley are the owners, and who
it 1fHs stated, were arrested at Lebanon.
