THE DEATH OF GENERAL MORGAN
1t adds to the regrets which the death Of General
Morgan has caused lsays the Lynehburg Vvginias)
to know that he fell a victim to treaehery and Jid
not fall iii fair and open eight. Woman, at whose
house he was spending the night IA Mrs Williams,
said to be native of LyncLbuIg,-rode to the
nearest camp of the enemy and informed them OF
his whereabouts. Eager securing so iliustrious
prize, they lost no time III repairing to tho spot,
surrounded the house, and, while thus in their
power, the noble chief received lis death wound
through the heart. The enemy were afterwards
driven out Of the town. The false creature who
thus in violation Of all the soft aud gentle prompt
,ngs of her sex, has brought the blood of our
prineely hero upon her head, deserves the ezecra-
tions Of flienI and foe, the ceaseess lasLings OF
Consoience-if she has one and anathenas for time
and eternity
