Capture Of John Mo. gan.

1t is our pleasant duty to inform the
anxious public, hcreabout., this afternoon
that the notorious rebel guerrilla chief,
John Morgan, together with his .tsff and
the remnant OF his command, was cap.
tured yesterday, by Gen. Shackleford
near Steubenvillc, Ohio. Thus after q
raid of several weeks duration through
the states Of Indiana and Ohio, 10 differ
ent directions, this bold rebel expedition
has been wiped out. It must be confess.
cd that the raiders have been very for
tunate il evading their pursuers as long
Is they have. The rebel concern has
lost strong arm in losing John Morgan
and his force, and the Federal cause has
made important progress by the same
ac.. Order will reign once more in Ohio.
A considerable amount Of property has
been destroyed for which the losers will
doubtless be renumerated.

WASHINGTON. July %


Advices from the headquarters Of the
army of the Potomac, received tonight
say that during the past week our troops
have not been idle, but by close scout
ing Of Lees movements, and by rapid
marches, they have succeeded in battling
his several attempts to enter Eastern
Virginia and forestalled his attempted
possession Of the Blue Ridge.
1t is generally believed that he is now
moving rapidly towards Staunton, bd the
Shenandoah Valley. lie tried Smokers
Ashby's and Manassas Gaps, but found
strong Union forces already there. Al
tho two last named places he was driven
back. At Chester Gap our cavalry re-
captured LOO of the cattle stolen by
the enemy and several hundred sheep
A large number Of horses have also been
recovered.
Several brisk skirmishes have taken
place, but the principal fight occurred on
Thursday evening between Linden and
Front Royal, in which brigade Of reb
ell infa.try, probably Lees rear guard,
vas driven through the town. The cav
airy has done excellent service. The
several commands have made active
marches and reconpoisances and COM
plete y toil-d Stuart in all his attempts
TO raid on our tianks and rear. Mosby',
email but energetic band has alone e ven
us trouble, principally by cutting off for
aging parties and messengers.
A private Of cavalry reports that on
Friday, as a division of cavalry was de-
p!oyed in the vic nifty of Anawaville, a
large force of rebel infantry was seen al
yanclng 10 that d rection and our cavalry
was compelled to fall back. This force
was supposed to be Longstreel's corps
Up to Saturday night, however, this re-
port had not been confirmed.
1t is impossible to conceive Of the
poverty of the country through which
the army passed. v ith the exception o
Loudon county, there is nothing to har-
vest except few acres OF wheat and
corn, and this must be done by manua
labor, as the country has been entirely
stripped Of stock. The road is now IL
running order to Warrenton. Our sup
plies, which have been near y exhausted
are flowing in to the army, and the mills
which have been entirely suspended siuc'
the army crossed the Potomac, are anx-
iously awaited.
Though the army had fatiguing march
es and, consequently, privat'ons, it woult
be a mistake to suppose that it is dowl
in ideness.
The messenger who brought to Wash
ington the above intelligence reports tha
to-day 40 of Mosby's cavalry were cap
tured near Fai,fax Sta ion.
