The War in kentucby.-The Third MGR
gan Raid.-Morgan's Impudent Sell On
Jerry Boyle.

Jerry Boyle.
Louisville, Dec. 30.-Morgan reached a
point on the railroad this side of Num-
louisville, on Friday morning. His ope-
rator, man named Aud, who lately left
the Louisville Office, Immediately attached
his instrument, and cent dispatch to Gen
Boyle, as if from Gen. Granger. This
stated that Morgan was in the vicinity of
Bowling Green, intending making an at
tack, and asking for aid.
Gen. Boyle made answer that he could
not give him any.
Gen. Granger, (Morgan,) then asked if
there were no troops in Louisville which
could be sent to his aid.
Gen. Boyle sent word that there were
no troops in Louisville at all.
Gen. Granger asked Boyle what DISPOSE,
lion had been made of the troops.
Gen. Boyle told him the force and po-
sition OF his troops, spoke of their etficien-
cy, &C., and gave all the information in
regard to them that Morgan wanted.
Morgan then sent, in his own name, q
polite ms ssage to Boyle, calling him "a
bright youth and smart boy" ending with
characteristic vulgarity.
The operator then sent love letter to
his sweetheart in Lexington, and note to
the operator at Louisville, to forward, and
closed the Office he had established.
The deputy postmaster at Lexington has
arrived here, aud states that the stories
published in the Journal of desperate
fighting at Elizabethtown, are all bosh.-
He says that Lieut.. Col. Smith refusad to
take command of the regiment, and that
it fell to the lot of Captain, who agreed
to surrender at once, and did SO without
fighting. l hope this story will prove I'M
true. None of the paroled men of the
91st Illinois have reached here,

Impromptu-'63.

The glorious year has come,
The year of jubilee
The oppressors power is broken,
The shackled ones are free.
Ye freemen of our country,
Ye sons of liberty,
Rejoice that your "lines have fallenn
In the light of '63.
No more shall mans oppression.
No more shall woman's vail
The glory of our country
In hideous darkness veil,
Though war is on our borders,
Bloodshed within our land,
Strife in our very dwellings,
We See the Helpers hand.
Above the din of battle,
Above the wall of wo,
Has been heard the Almightys mandate,
To let my people go.'
Too long that voice hath fallen
On ears that would not hear;
Blest be the man that hearheneth,
The man for this glad year.
With Freedoms banner DER us,
It's motto, ever, right
Wen conquer by this qoatch,oord
Not by the people,, m1ght.+
Raise high the shout of triumph
Ye soldiers on the field,
Press forward to the conflict,
The sword of right to WELD.
Fight for our nations union,
Fight for the stripes and stars,
Fight for our nations honor,
Fight for our nations scars.
Fight for the hearthstones biightcd,
Fight for the dear ones slain,
Let not the blood SO freely shed,
Baptise the earth in vain.
Fight for the God of battle,
The God who made us one;
Eight for the God of freedom
The God of Washington.
Then when the conflicts DER,
The glorious victory won,
Proudly the war-won soldier
Well welcome to his home
The voice of praise, like incense
From every heart shall rise,
For the blessings we've secured
By the blood of sacrifice.

and renewed the battle with Bragg's bat
terry, O'Brien's having been lost.
Here is just the perilous point. This
method OF attack 10 never a thing without
risk, and requires General of great re>
sources and unbounded courage When
the slaughter is greatest, he must be able
to command himself most. This was where
the mighty genius Of Napoleon shone res
plendent. Riding amid tie thunders and
the horrors of the battle, be seized upon
The moment of fearful peril to make his
decisive charge with ali bis force, lending
to 1t all the enthusiasm and courage which
his own example could infuse into his men.
We are afraid that Burnside committed an
error IN not allowing Sumner to go on the
field and take the command of his men at
the critical moment. The old hero chafed
at being prevented. He would be most at
home IN the midst of danger, and, had he
oeen allowed to go, he would have saved
the day, and perhaps have won the battle.
Burnside himself could have done it, OF
Hooker CIR Heintzelman.
We do not think Burnside deserves cen
sure for his plan of this battle. 1t was an
attempt not merely to defeat the rebe,
army, but to annihilate it. Had he sue
ceeded In his attempt to pierce the centre
and seizs the railroad in the rear, thei,
retreat would have been cut off, the Who'll,
Rebel army divided into two fragments
and attacked in front, flank and rear. i
is worth allthe men we have lost to hay
tried 10 gain such victory; and SO ia
from visiting any one with blame for it
we, for our own part, are rejoiced to int
that at last we have some one able {,
make plan of action worth the risk in
Cured Ia carrying it out. The victor O
Roanoke Island anu Newborn is not
man to be daunted at trifles, and we trus

THE VAN DORM AFFAIR.

CHATTANOOGA, May IA gentleman just
from Spring Hill, in Maury county, gives me some
particulars in regard to the death Of Van Dorm
The facts are singularly tragic; and in time OF
peace would create a national Juror. The crow
ded condition Of the great canvass, however,
will distract the public eye from the quiet, domes
tic melodrama.
Since taking up his quarters in Spring Hill,
Van Dorm has Lecn upon terms of criminal init
macy with Mrs DR.. Peters. She was Miss Nc
Kssack-young, handsome and well educated.
Her family is of the highest responsibility, aud of
considerable wealth The husband has been
of the most esteemed of citizens, an amiable M H.
member Of the State Senate, and heavy planter;
brother of Maj Peters, Chief Quartarmaster to
Gen. Polk. The pair have been married Ga Sc
cond marriage on the part Of the gentleman for
about five years
On the day of the occurrence DIR: Peters called
upon Van Dorm and obtained pass to 90 to Nash
Vile Van Dorm gave it readily, doubtless feel
ing glad to get rid of dissgreeabe and dangerous
encumbrance. They alone together III an
upper room, aud 1T is supposed that Peters shot
from the back u Van DurH's head, which was
split in twain by the bullet Tie report not
heard however, and Peters mounted his horse,
rode away, crossed our lines with the pass preV-
ousv obtained aud en- cred Nashville. . lie has
been, learn, received with marks Of distinguish
ed welcome.
The body of Van Dorm cofhned and sent off
for in,erment. Mrs Peters has returned TO her
own family.
These arc the facts hard and dry. Rumors of
the conduct Of Van Dorm, not only in this one in
stance, but in two Others near Columbia, have
been prevalent for some time
Without doubt he has acted very badly. My
informant tells me that he has degraded the cause
and disguised every one by his inattenton to his
duties and his constant devotion to the ladies, and
to the exclusion of all else Wine and women
have ruined him they have ruined many another
brilliant but reckless Hau.
That Van Dorm was Of daring genius
there can be no doubt: Very handsome, with dark,
dsshing eyes and handsome moustache, superb
rider a snowy address, quick witted and graceful,
he also Of sagacious foresight and keen
intellect. But he uncertain and unreliable
He always sacrificed his business to his pleasure.
He was never at his post when he ought to be.
Was either tied to a womans apron string or heat
ed with wine
His loss will therefore, be little felt; we
ly moral on the occasion Of his death, give his
faults to the past, and leave his soul with his God
Cor. Richmond Enquirer, 10Th.
The staff officers of Van Dorm have published
statement relating to the affair, but We do not
anything in it disproviug the above statement
