CAPE OF MAJOR WILLIAMS.
General Gillem's statement is con-
frmed byeitizens of Greenville. There
is spacious, tasteful Episcopal
Church, built by the late DR.. Williams,
on the northern side within the garden
in which General Morgan fell. He
first concealed himself beneath this
building. Pursued, he escaped from
the rear of the garden, which contains
four or five acres. He was now in the
main street of the village, when one of
his mounted troopers came by, leading
horse. Gasset, an aid, who was with
General Morgan, mounted this horse
and escaped. General Morgan con-
cealed himself beneath large frame
building outside of the garden and
fronting on Main street.
He was seen by negroes who occu-
pied the house, and forced to re-enter
the garden, and was moving toward

TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD.
1t is an old adage that a lie travels a
thousand miles while truth is putting
on its boots. The statement that Nor
gan was betrayed by this woman has
become historically true, and so utter
~ false, as many person who watch
cd its progress has little faith in any
history ofany war. Gassett's telegram
has traversed the globe, and now we
have the unvarnished truth Just set
ting out on its travels. That. none
may doubt my assertions, l furnish a
letter written by General Gillem, COM
handing the Federal forces, to the late
Colonel w. Fl. Sneed, once a member
of Congress from Knoxville. 1t was
received by this gentleman not long
before his death, and thus never be-
fore saw the light. Colonel Sneed's
excellent wife is. related to the Mrs.
Williams charged with the betrayal of
General Morgan, and the story, as it
went abroad, begat many personal aud
family feuds:
