From The Cleveland Leader, July ~.
Joha Morghu's career Is ended. The great raider
has stolen his last horse; cut his hast railroad
bnrned his last bridge, and robbed his last MON
hi--at least, II Justice IL done him. After being
followed miie by mile, and day by day, rs relent
lessy and increasingly as the hound follows In,
buck, ne Inns to grief and defeat ard the great
froebootor is prisoner at Wellsville, on the Ohio
1t the iaucton Of toe two divisions OF the Cleve-
laud and Pittsburg RailIoad and this is how il
was co0e:
On being pursued from the vicinity of ZsDesylle
Morgan pushed 10 t1e eastward, finding no rest for
bis exhs listed horses men. lie evidently had no
longer any object in view bat to escape with whole
skin. Yesterday be arrived within few miles OF
the Cleveland aud Pitlsburg Railroad at Saliuevis.
H. was closely pursued by General Shsckelford the
Seventh Mich gan cavalry being part OF his force.
This cavalry chased Morgan forty miles on Sat-
urdly al ght and Sunday morning. and brought m
Z, bay yesterday AT ten o'clock mile o. two west
OF Salinovile General Brooks, commando AT Pitts
burg, had moved his headquarters 10 Wellsyille,
aud the officers Of the Cleveland and Pittsblrg Road
Wcio tlro lbcf' 10 lhViAtc the moving VI any Trains
{ hat nlignt be Necessary.
Gen. Brooks was teleersrhed from here, asking If
he wanted any Of our volunteer troops, 10 which he
piled that he had all the he could use. In the
fight ut 10 o'clock, 80 OF Morgan's nen and 200
horses were cap.rred. and tue rest put to flight.
They retreated coward the W {. hut were pursued
by the cavalry, WAC, nj o'c pck. attacked the re-
naming force under Morgan, aud defeated them,
csp lrng Morgan himself aud all that WAS left Of
hs sang except those ho may have escaped singly.
Toe PRISONERS were placed upon the car, at Slhne-
vile ami taken To Welisvie, from whence they
will be, or have Teen, moved according TO orders.
So ents the grand raid Of the bandit Morgan. And
70 is destroyed the flower Of tho cavalry OF the
Rebel army Of the West. 30, too, has tue indomis-
bic spirit aud endurance of the Union cavalry and
artillery which has followed Morgan u chase of a
thousand miles or more, been richly awarded. It
xas glorious Sabbath days victory, albeit, the
osce destroyed was ony tho iagscd.out remnants OF
he force that WAS defeated ~ Btiilgtoa.
