Not the slightest clue has been discovered
the whereabouts of Morgan and his officers.
The Governor has teegra phed to all the mil
itary committees OF the STATE to arouse their
several counties, and tho Provost Marshal Cen
eral OF the State has notified every Provost Mar
sha to seour their several districts thoroughly.
IL is supposed they took the train for Clncn-
natl via Dayton, which started from Colu bus
at A. NJ. Saturday That their escape was
conDyed atby sympathizers there is little doubt.
They by patient labor for nearly four weeks,
by means of small pocket knives, dug through
the floors of their cells, composed Of about twelve
inches Of stone and brick, down into four foot
sewer. Two weeks ago one oi the prisoners
asked the guard for u lew boards to cover the
door Of his cell, giving as an excuse that the
damp stone was lnjuring their health the un.
suspicious guard granted their request. The
boards we're used to cover up the holes they
were cutting.
On the night of their final escape, on entering
their several cells. Dick Morgan managed TO
change with his brother JOhl from the upper
to the lower tier. After getting into the sewer
they crawled to the heavy grating at its mouth,
and found they could not escap by that route.

SroRMlNG TIE RIDGE AT CHATTANOOGA The
s,orn.ins Of the ridge in the great battle before
Chattanooga on the Goth ut, is thus described by
an officer in report to the War Department
." The storming Of the ridge by our troops was
one of the greatest miracles in military history.
No man who climbs the ascent by any ottne roads
tha, lead along It's front can believe that $4,000
men were moved upon its broken and crumblvd
face unless il was bis fortune to witness the deed.
IL seems as awful as visible interposIion OF God.
Neither General Grant nor General Thomas in-
tended H. Their orders were to carry the rifle
pits along the base Of the ridge aod cur off their
occupants but when this was accomplished the
unaeoountAbe spirit oflhe troops bore them bold
IL up the impraoticable sleeps, over the glisten-
ing rifle pits on the crest and tbs thirty cannon en-
fAding every gully.
The order to storm appears 20 have ueen gwen
smu, ,nueou.y by Generals sheridan aud Wood,
because FROM the gallant achievement before Chat
,anooea the men we're not TO be held back. Hope
less as the attempt appeared to military prudence,
the Generals caught the inspiration OF the men
and we're ready themselves to und 'riake impossi'
billties."

recently made by surgeons released from rebel
prisons:
WASHINGTON, Nov u, 1863.
We, the undersigned, surgeons OF the United
States Army, and recently prisoners in Richmond,
Va, consider it our duty to pebllsh few facts
that came to our knowledge while We we're in-
mates OF the hospital attached to Libby Prison.
w e enjoyed for several months daily access to
the hospitals where the sick and wounded among
our Union soldiers received T@tement As re-
suit Of our observations, We hereby declare our
belief hat since the battle OF Chickamauga the
number of deaths per diem has averaged fully fifty.
The prevailing diseases are disrrhoea, dysentery
and typhoid pneumonia. OF hte the percentage
OF deaths has greatey enorea,ed, the result Of
causes that have been long at work-as insufficient
food, clothing and shelter, combined with that
depression OF spirits brought on go often by long
confinement. IL may seem almost incredible
we affirm, Of our personal know edge, that in the
three hospitals for Union soldiers the average
mortality Is nearly forty per day and upon the
most reliable testimony We are orced TO believe
that the deaths in the tobacco factories and upon
the island will raise the total mortality among oil
the Union prisoners to tify per day or fifteen
hundred monthly.
The extremely reduced condition Of those
brought from the island argues that hundreds
quite sick are left behind who with US would be
considered fit su 'lects tor hospital treatement.
Suoh too is the TACT, as invariably stated by scores
we have couyersed with from that camp. The
same 10 a degree holds true OF the prisoners IN
the city, 1t would be reasonable estimate to
put the number who are fit subjects for hospitals,
but who are refused admittanoe, at five hundred.
A thousand are already under treatment in the
hospitals, and the rebel surgeons themselves say
the number Of patients is only limited by the
small accomodltions provided. Thus we nave
over ten per cent OF the whole number OF prison
ers here cassed us sick men, who need the most
assiduous and skllIiul attentions yet, in the es-
sential matter of rsIons, they are receiving moth.
