MORGAN AND HIS MEN.-A letter from ere
of MoTgsn's cid command, to tho Macon TeIe-
graph, dated GTeenville, s. C March p, says
We arc at present encamped at this place
awaiting "orders." Gen. Morgan is in Rich
moud, trying to get back his "old men," while
President Davis and the Secretary of War are
trying to make him msjor-gensral and give
him the command Of Longstreei's cavalry. In
a speech 10 rs at DscAtur, he informed Us of
these facts, and said Boys, / am as high as
] want to bs / would not give Eve hundred Of
nay old men for the whole of LongstIeet's corps.
Moreover, l will not turn Sohse! until l get
my old command" It is the general impress
sion in this command that they win give him
his old men, before they viii see him resign,
but If be does resign the allegiance Of "Mor-
gan's men" to the Confederate States viii be
40 more.
