DIslOyaIty.

II is perfectly sickening and disgusting to
read the diatribes of the Tribune, Times, DC,
on "disloyalty," "disloyai men," &c Persons
who have sanctioned every executive usurps-
ton, every act of outrage on the peoples
rights, talking about "disloyalty" as glibly as
il they were the purest patriots in the uni
vsrse Greeley and Raymond prating of
their "loyalty," when there is not a line OF the
Constitution that they have not deliberately
repudiatedl Verify, this world is turned
topsy turvey. The insuiferAble arrogance OF
these pretended patriots is only equalled by
their bitter toryism, which demand Of free, in
telligent Americans, that they should give up
the right Of private judgment and PROSTATE

rode back, conveying intelligence of the route
taken, which it was believed was with the ulti-
mate design of reaching the Ohiori further
up. Forces were Immediately dispatched
from Wellsville to head him off, while an
other force followed hotly in his rear, and a
strong militia force from New Lisbon came
down to meet him.
About two o'clock in the afternoon these
various detachments closed in around Morgan
in the vicinity of West Point, about midway
between New Lisbon and Wellesville. The
rebels were driven to a bluff from which there
was no escape except by fighting their way
through, or leaping from lofty and almost
perpendicular precipice. Finding themselves
thus cooped, Morgan concluded that 'discre-
ton was the better part of valor,' and 'came
down as gracefully as the coon did to Davy
Crockett lie, with the remainder of his gang,
surrendered to Col. Shackleford, who was
well acquainted with the redoubtable John,
and is said to be a distant relative.
The militia are constantly bringing in to the
line of the road stray prisoners, picked up in
the country. The hills are swarming with
armed men hunting for fugitive rebels. Nor
gans men were poorly dressed, ragged, dirty,
and very badly used up. Some of them wore
remnants of gray uniform, but most of them
were attired in spoils gathered during their
raid. They were very much discouraged at
the result of their raid and the prospect of
things generally.
