Operations Of Morgan i'm Ken
1ucl<y.


CINCINNATI June 10.-One of Morgan's
men, captured at Maysville, reports that the
force in Kentucky is under the immediate
command Of Morgan, Col. Aston and Col.
Smith. The total force is about three thous-
and-a large portion of them is dismounted
cavalry. They entered the State at Pound
Gap. A scouting party under Everett, was
sent ahead to pick up horses for dismounted
men. They passed through Hazel Green,
Owensville and Flemingsburg, and took
Maysville without resistance, robbing cti-
zens of money and other valuables. The
farms of Union men were stripped of horses,
while those of rebel citizens were protected.
Everett left Maysville Wednesday for
Mount Sterling, at which place it is thought
MOrgan's men are concentrating with the
intention of attacking Lexington.
The position of affairs in the central por-
ton of the State to-day is not known, as
communication is broken with Lexington.
1t is thought to be the intention of the reb-
els to destroy all the railroads possible, and
make their exit through central Kentucky
and middle Tennessee. The Kentucky Cen
tral railroad is being repaired. Trains will
run to Cynthiana tomorrow.
Gen. Hobson left Covington to-day to
open communication with Lexington.
CINCINNATI, June 1O.-Gcn. Burbridge,
who has been following the rebels since
they left Pound Gap, came up with them
yesterday at Mt. Sterling, and whipped
them handsomely.
A portion of Morgan's command entered
Lexington at o'clock this morning, burn
ed the Kentucky Central railroad depot,
and robbed number of stores, and left at
ten o'clock, going in the direction of
Georgetown and Frankfort. Burbridge is
following them.

JUVENILE THIEvEs.-Several small boys
named Chas. f. Walters, Billy Jamison,
Polly Rice and Chas. McIlvey, were arrest
ed yesterday for entering the room of some
colored servants in Browns building on
State street, and robbing trunk of about
fifty dollars. None of these precocious
youngsters have seen the fifteenth birthday.
Walters, who sayshe is without friends ORE
lations, appears to have been the chief actor
in the robbery, and when arrested he had
on the pair of pants taken from the trunk,
in the pockets of which the money had
been left by its owner for safe keeping; the
other boys were seen with him in the room
about the time the money was taken. The
boys INDUCED in regular 'bum" on the
proceeds of the theft, rode on the street
cars, drank mint juleps, went to Cincinnati
and back, and swclled around promiscu-
ously. The whole party was arrested and
lodged in the city prison to await an exami-
nation which is to be held to-day.

THE CITY.
THE VETERANS.
THE FIFrx-E1GHrH REGIMENT.
Return of 1O4 of It's Members as Re-
Enlisted Veterans..HistOrya and
Services of the Regiment.

Yesterday little band of one hundred
and four soldiers, rank and file, marched
up High street from the depot to the State
House yard, escorted by Hemmersbach's
brass band, of this city. These men were
the re-enlisted veterans OF the Fifty-eighth
Ohio Infantry, who arrived from Vicksburg
to be furloughed to their homes for thirty
days. There was an impression prevailing
that the term of service of this regiment
had expired. and that this detachment was
all that was left of the regiment, but this
was erroneous, as about one hundred of the
old regiment, who did not re-enlist, are still
at Vicksburg, under Colonel Jackson, who
Is now its commanding officer. Many of
our citizens distinctly remember the regi-
ment when, little less than three wears
ago, it marched down High street one
thousand strong, and the contrast between
that splendid array and the squad which
returned, suggested itself to every mind.
The Fifty-Eighth was organized as
German Regiment and left Champ Chase
for the front under command of Col. Bau-
senwein, but was subsequently, commanded
by Col. Deister, who was killed before
Vicksburg, and is now under Col. Jackson.
No Regiment that left Ohio has had more
i'll luck or sustained severer losses than the
5Sth. At Fort Donelson it received its first
baptism of fire and blood, and in all the bat
ties from Donelson to the capture of Vicks-
burg, including the three days at Shiloh,
Sherman's attacks on Vicksburg, Arkansas
Post, it participated and suffered heavily
by rebel bullets. In ShermaE's disastrous
attempt on Vicksburg the 5Sth bore the most
conspicuous part and was nearly annihi-
lated. The regiment started over a swamp
to storm Chickasaw Bluff, with four hun
dred men, but less than one half of them
returned to their line and there were none
taken prisoners. They succeeded in reach
ing the enemy's works, but were driven
back from the muzzle of the rebel guns,
lelving the most of the officers and
men with which they started. Here fell
the solderly and gallant Col. Deister, on
the parapet of the works crying, Forward
Fifty-eighth !" Here fell the noble, chival-
rous, ,simp1e-hearted Captain Kaufman, than
whom no more heroic soldier or better
man ever went down in battle; here fell the
Lieutenant-Colonel, Major, and Captains
and subalterns in terrible profusion. After
this dreadful slaughter they could not mus
ter men enough to make regiment and
the remaining men were placed on gum
boats and the officers accepted staff ap-
pointments or came home disabled. Since
active operations ceased, however, they
were recognized, and have since been sta
toned at Vicksburg. Now, just one-half
of what is left of the old ten hundred come
home to enjoy thirty days of rest, after an
experience which has rarely had its parallel
even in the history of these times of mel
ancholy wonders and manifold disasters by
flood and field.

AN UNKNOWN MAN LIES Down ON THE
RAILROAD TRACK AND IS KILLED.-Thurs-
day night an unknown man whose name
or habitation could not be asccrtaincd,
while intoxicated, laid down upon the
track of the Columbus and Piqua railroad,
between Piqua and Covington, and went to
sleep. The locomotive of the evening train
from this city, going at the usual rate of
speed, struck him and knocked him high
off the ground, but again falling upon the
track, the whole train passed over him be-
fore it could be stopped. When found the
body was but naked and mangled heap of
flesh and bones, beyond recognition, and of
course without life. The remains were
placed on board the train, conveyed to Cow
ington, and decently inferred, nobody
knowing who the man was or from whence
he came.
