We told him such was not the case, but
that he would, no doubt, be closely confaed

under command of their Lieut.. Colonel,
formed in hollow square in front of the city
prison, having been detailed as escort to
the rebel officers to the depot of the Little

great Morgan raid, and Cincinnati breathes
free once more.
