On Friday morning, when Gen. Brooks
learned that Morgan was in Guernsey
county, Ohio, east OF Cambridge, he went
to SteubenVille, after having ordered the
three regiments OF three months troops here

was at Cadiz Junction, in the cars, await.
ing orders. The three regiments of infan-
try which arrived during the night were
stationed as follows: Col. Porter at Port

at Lagrange and Col. Gallagher at Brush
I creek, to cover the fords at those places -
Major Rue's Cavalry were ordered to Min
! go, near Steubenviile, and were them or
dered to Wheeling for his horses to be fed
and watered.
Morgan after the engagement at Wash
ington, took his course in the direction of
Cadiz, passing the night between. Moor
fields and that place. On Saturday morn
ing, he passed to the right of Cadiz, near
AtheuSj and then commenced bearing to-
ward the river, his movements indicating
| an intention to strike the river between
Wheeling aud Steabenville. He approached
within four miles of Portland, which point
he discovered was guarded. He then took
to the north. g-Tursl-
In the meantime Maj. Rue was ordered
to Martinsville, about three miles above
Wheeling, and Maj. Way with about 500
! cavalry and artillery, arrived at Mingo in
the cars from Cincinnati. His artillery
| was sent to Lagrange, and his cavalry
| landed at Mingo, and started on the COM
mon road TO Lagrange. Morgan finding
| Lagrange guarded continued TO the north,
tcgossing the s. Il I, Railroad near AleEan-
dria, cutting the telegraph wires and burn

some 800 minute men, under Col. Collier,
from Steubenyille, that had been posted
on the SteubenVille and Cadiz Pike. Ways
artillery as quick as unloaded followed
after him, but did not oVcrtake him that
night in time to be of any use. From
/ Wintersville, Morgan took the direction Of
Richmond, closely followed by Way. At
the time Major Wayswss ordered to return
to Steubenvilie, Major Rue, with his cav
airy and Porter's regiment of infantry,
were ordered up the riVer-the cavalry to

| proceeded to Knoxville, while the infantry
went to Island Greek. .G4tILgAJ

on the main liue of the G.. i P, r. r.,
where he arrived at six o'clock in the
morning, just in time to prevent Morgan's
/ forces, who were hotly pressed by Way,
from entering the town. 90 r..7rdE % fH
Way had continued TO follow Morgan to

balted, expecting Morgan would also halt.
Major Wsy thought by so doing that he
would inform Gen. Brooks of Morgan's
movements, and enable a force to be thrown
in Morgau's fcont. But after hearing that
Morgan had gone into. camp, Major Way
moved cautiously close to his camp. At
i three O'Clock on Sunday morning he com
menced Skirmishipg and drove the rebels
from their camp, pressing them pretty
hard: At eight O'Clock, when mile and
a half from Salineville, he engaged the
Fe6els again, and after more than an hours
severe sighting routed them with perfect
stampede, with loss to them of some 30
killed, 40 wounded, 236 prisoners, $50
horses and 100 stand of arms; The rebels
were pursued until oar horses gave out.
Our loss was slight. 7ai : a1l.sa- .lag
