We learn from gentleman who has
had conversations recently with several
of MoRGAN's command, that this noto-
rious hOrsethief and marauder has fallen
into bad odOr of late with the rebel mill

under cloud as brave and skillful Of
Gcer before his disaster at Milton, and
that affair almost destroyed his prestige.
He is not regarded by his own officers as
man Of sbility as q commsnder. SO

SoLpHRs-We saw a large number of
regular "Yanks'' at Louisville yesterday,
who have lately arrived there from 'some-
where" and are going "nowhar, or some
place else. They were dressed in blue
coats and pants, had guns, pistols, and
sabres, and looked as il each Of them
was good enough "stuff" to demolish
two or three "chivalrys." They spoke
the dialect Of Vermont, Massachusetts,
and New York. and we'lI bet they'll
fight like thunder and lightning. They
are the FIRST live "Yanks" of the blu

1t is our painful duty TO announce the
death Of DR.. CHARLES JOHNSON, son of
Governor JOHNSON, which occurred here
yesterday. DR.. JOHNSON was Surgeon Of
the First Middle Tennessee Infantry,
and was on duty at the camp, in the
suburbs yesterday, when the horse which
he was riding, became FESTIVE, and rear
ing up, fell upon him, injuring him 50 Sc
riously that his death followed in few
hours. DIR. JOHNSON was gentleman of
fine cultivation and professional attain
meats, unobtrusive, warm hearted, and
generous. He has gone in the very morn
ing and spring bloom Of life, when a
6eld of usefulness had just opened to
his view. BE was one of those who
chose an exile with patriots rather
than remain at home under tie reign
Of treason, and he accompanied his
fathers family to this place, on their
Journey from Greenville last Fall, and
on the FIRST opportunity entered the
service as Surgeon. But that irresisti-
BILE and mysterious messenger, whose
dread mandates are borne TO all ages, at
all seasons, has summoned him to another
sphere of existence
The sympathies of thousands viii go
freely forth to his father now absent and
burdened with many cares and sorrows;
of others more than his own-tO q long
afflicted mother, and to his brother a
brave officer in the Federal army.

COUNTY SEAT.-EiBoEcK Of the Jonrnal

locating the County Seat at McGREcoR.-
He seems to think the attempt to change
the Connty's base as an outrage, and by
way Of promise to the south portion of the
County, he INDUCES in sundry dreams Of
the future Of Elkader. In the main, the
Journals efforts are correct in cndeavoring
to keep the seat where it is, but all discus
sions of the subject should be had in good
temper. If the people vote it here, it is
their business, and not the business of prop.
erty holders at any special point in the
county. If it comes here it aoil stick, and
that is one argument in favor Of the pres
ent agitation. Let reason rule in the dis
cussions and in tho voting.
