in the neighborhood by tho Provost MIrsbaFs
force. frey were taken at-Af'iancc, TO be
cent lr.in Lllats p.at. u Culnu'hus.
Morgan's men were poorly dressed, ragged
dirty, and very badly used up. Some of them
wore remnants Of gray uniform, but most OF
them we're alfred in srnils gatheref during
their rsid. They were very much DISCOURAGED
at the result of their raid, and the prospect
Of elfirs generally.
Morgan himself appeared in good spirits,
anc quite unconcerhed at his,ill lack. He is
n well built man, of fresh complexion and
sandy beard and nair. He last night enjoyed,
for the first time in a long while, the comforts
of a sound sleep in good bed, which Was
some compensation for Lis otherwise bad
luck.
Governor Tod, of Ohio, has issued a PROG
lsmation congratulating the people OF the
State upon the capture of Morgan. The docu'
ment concludes thus:
The losses upon our side have been t.ritling,
so far as numbers are concerned: but am
panied TO be compelled to announce that q
lew gallant spirits have been taksn from US.
Prominent among The number is. the DRAKE
Maj5r Daniel McCoyk.
The damage TO property will necessarily he
large in dollars and cents, but insignificant
when cpn,rasted with che Beneficial results
to our Srate and country.
i Prompt measures lave been taken to AS
certain the names of the sufferers, and the
amount OF damage sustained. all of which
will be communicated to the next General
Assembly, Steps have also been taken 10
adjust and pay for all service renderedb y the

mcnt deubt but that this raid of Morgan will
ultimately prove a benefit TO us US y people.
IL has taught an ~insuleut foe that, however
so we'll provided, or however so large, lie cal.-

ously forward with your organizations. his
