battles to the army of the Potomac Our
army is ready to fight him-anxious in
deed, rather than return to another cam
paign in those districts of Virginia which
have been so thoroughly devastated by

From the official statement of the pub

One Thousand Strong Citizens in
Pursuit.

CINCINNATI, July 23.-Morgan crossed
the Muskingum River, at Eagles Ford,
eighteen miles below GAINESVILLE, at ten
o'clock this morning. Scouts report his
force at 1000 strong, and three pieces
of artillery. Col. Lement, of the Seth
Ohio, sent his regiment and large num-
bers of the militia after him.
Col Chandler, of GAINESVILLE, and TWEEN
ty-6ve citizen scouts, were captured at
Deavertown last night
The latest from Eagles Ford says the
Seth, under Lieut. Col Mcfarland, are
fighting the rebels and driving them up
towards GAINESVILLE. This is not entirely
reliable. Business in GAINESVILLE is sus-
pended, and citizens are turning out en-
maSse to resist Morgan's progress.
