THE MoRGAs RAID The all absorbing topic in
our city - the daring raid into State. and the
only business attended TO Is connected more or
less with that important event Our CITY is one
great camp. aud the military ardor continues
and active hands are at work. order is being
brought out OF the confusion incident TO a hasty
assembling of large masses Of men. The com
panies belonging % the CITY have been 'ormed
into a regiment and those from the country are
being brgaded fast rolls be fled aud
arms and equipments given out. Nine regiments
of infantry have been formed Three four
companies Of cavalry have reported. and of
them, Capt. FOudrays of this city, we presume is
off for the seat Of war. Col Shank. We under
stand. Is 10 command the cavalry force What is
doing in regard TO artillery, We do not know.
Field pieces arrived Yesterday ard if needed
willing hands will be found TO work them.
Asto the number of men who have reported
here. there seems To be wide difference of opn
ion. This We know that the whole State is awake,
and 81 600 men. if there was transportation to
get them here. could be easily obtained as
l0.00O But there is not transportation, nor Is
ANYTHING like that number required for the emer-
gency. It has required the exercise of degree
OF firmness to keep them back. The number &c
cepted for service will be known to day. when
the rolls will be completed, and we can probably
give the figures To morrow
The news fIom the scene Of Morgan's opera
tons Was looked for with intense anxiety all day
on Saturday aud Sunday But tie news come in
slowly, ut least it let slowly On
Saturday morning il was announced that Morgan
in Vernon at O'Clock the evening before.
and that he was making for Lexington in Scott
county Ii was sfterward learned that he had
| burr ed a small bridge on the Jacksonville road
at Vernon. and had occupied Lexington and Paris.
The raiders were next heard Of AZ North Yer
| non. They summoned Col BuIkhsm. Of the
| Legion to surrender on Saturday evening. but he
did not see fit TO do il, and Gen Love arrived TO
his relief. and after some parlev about removing
| the women and children. Morgan slipped off in
the night without fight sixteen of his men
and horses were however captured By Gen. Loves
forces. who followed him up. Hobson. with his
cavalry force, was also close upon him at this
time.
| Thus the situation appeared when the extras
we're issued yesterday morning. About 10 or III
O'Clock Morgan was heard from a. having passed
| through Versailles. in Ripley county. and por
ton OF his force being at OSgood. on the Ohio
and Mississippi railroad force sent from
here. under Col Gavin, to Lawrenceburg to get
on his track. What his design in moving
on Versailles is only left to conjecture. He
would Of course damage the railroad as much as
possible. and then m)st likely seek a crossing at
some of the shallow bars betw cen L1wrenc eburg
and Madison-probably at Warsaw bar
This the last reliable information we had
of the situation. The gunboats will keep good
look out upon all the shoal places in the rivera
heavy force ia pressing upon him in every direc
ton. and If there is hole left big enough for the
ubiquitous John to get out at. We don't see it.
LATER.

from Col Gavin, stating that he had skirmsh
with the raiders at Sunman's Stntion, the
Cincinnati road One man, named Conway. OF
Greensburg was killed. and another taken pris-
oner. The lines were cut at Spades. three miles
this side Of Sunman's.
Advices were also received that heavy firing
was heard at Mitchell in Lawrence county If
this should prove to be correct. the force is evil
IDENTIFY divided. and endeavoring to work out Of
the trap at different places.
