The Rebel Jchn Morgan.

JOhn H. Morgan, the notorious Rebel scout,
and commander Of the Rebel Rangers was born near
Lexington Kentucky. From his boy hood he was noted
for his skill and reckessness in horsemanship in Sep
aember 1861, he assumed the command Of band Of
tuerras in the vicinity Of Pilot Knob Missouri where
DC shot down a number of Union piekets. lie next ap
peared in the reghborhood Of Bacon Creek Kentucky
at the head Of his band burned the railroad bridge
almost within sight Of the Union headQuar
tiers and ESCAPED before forces recovered from
their surprise. In the month OF March 1852, he
boldly attacked our lines the Franklin Pike,
Ohio and somewhat delayed the march Of our troops.
He afterwsrd disguised himself farmer, and en-
tered our lines din1g at the best hotels and escaped
withou, discovery after obtaining the information he
needed Or another occasion he nearly caught Gen.
Nelson in trap he had laid for him. Between Louis
vile and Nashville he stopped railroad train and took
several prisoners. During the winter OF 1923 he
commanded a cavalry force Of Gen. Braggs army and
greatly annoyed Gen. ROsecrans' oup0sts and conlDu
pications With him were several smart telegraph OPP
orators who would attach wires 10 the telegraph lines
teke off the messages coming from the headquarters Of
tb5 army and send pack counterfeit ones. To these
operaons many of the Union defeats in Kentucky are
attributed In the Of 1863 be headed extern
viye raid through Indiana and Ohio in which he was
captured with large number Of his command. In No
yember 1861 he with six Of his officers adroity escaped
from the OHIO Penitentiary after great deal Of perse
verne laoor in undermining the prison. Morgan was
a tall hesEy man. who usually rode black horse. he
WAS boil daring and merciless thief and murderer
and his showers like him. They would ride into
towns and cities capture the chief OceTsin broad day
light having been informed by the COpperheads
Of thar whereabouts. and then ride off before
the citizens had recovered from their surprise.
Morgan was by profession nesro.trader, q gambler,
and ,ubertine. Wherever he known he was re-
CARED as a lowbred fellow. whom no lady could
os1ize. in several street fights he bad gained the
reputation Of assassin rather than tina, OF hero.
let this wretch the fellow upon whom the Secesh
women of Kentucky and Secessia svished their bright
es, smiles and most liberal fayors.
