The Movements of Morgan in Ohio
= DraUrr To a Clnsa

Drawn TO ClOS6.
In our Sundays issue we gave the intelligence
that Morgon was still pressing for the Ohio
River, apparently with the intention of crossing
at Wellsville, and that Major kue was in hot
pursuit. Since then Ganeral Burnside received
the news OF his capture, tegether with his entire
force, numberIng about 500 men. To intercept
him Burnside ordered Major Rue to Bellair and
moved northward, Major Way commenced pur-
suit; while Major Rue was sent by rail to Wells
vile.
At Salinevilie Major Way fought and checked
Morgan, when Maj Rue came up, just as Nor
gan was turning for flight, and compelled him
to surrender.
Upon the receipt of the intelligence of his cap
ture, General Burnside telegraphed to General
Shacklefordtu forward Morgan and his officers
to this city and the rivates % Camp Chase, and
in accordance with that order, the former arrive
here late last night, and were lodged il the City
Prison, where they will remain until finally dis

with them, the rights of property are moth :

and unexpected, but General Terry met and
repuised them with great slaughter. The

flank, grounded, and rebel battery opened
upon her, firing about fifty shots, thirty mine
of which hit her. She subsequently, foated
off and opened upon the rebels, putting them
to flight. Our casualties were small, and
the rebels were taught lesson they will not
soon forget. The bombardment of Fort
Wagner was renewed on the morning OF the

with the army. During the day Fort Wag-
nsr was silenced for some time and the
colors shot away. New, Union batteries
