Narrow escape of Gen Morgan. A correspondent of the Atlanta Confederacy writes the following account of a narrow escape from the Yankees, made by the dashing Morgan, and vouches for its truth. We see statements of the same affair in other papers: While Gen. Morgan's command was at Gallatin he received information that a large division of the Abolition army was approaching Nashville by the way of Tyree Springs. He accordingly selected three hundred men from the brigade for the purpoor a column of infantry which he was going back to bring up. The officer touched his hat, and immediately gave way, while Morgan rode through their column As he would ride along he would address the stragglers, ordering them to "move up." that they were no better than deserters, and only wanted Morgan to catch them. They would touch their hats and move up briskly. In the meantime the prisoners who were following the General were convulsed with laughter thinking no doubt that he was their priso

o send you, and enough to form an army to threaten, if not capture Washington, as soon as it is uncovered by Hooker's army. My purpose was to show you that the force here and in North Carolina is very small, and I may add that the brigades are claimed as properly of their command. Our information as to the enemy's intentions may be more full and trustworthy hereafter. It is now materially greater than when you were here. Very respectfully and truly yours. Jeff Davis. Capture of Gen Morgan — his arrival at Cincinnati Gen. John Morgan, Col. Cluke, and thirty other Confederate officers, captured with them, arrived in Cincinnati on Monday night last, and were placed in the city prison. A Northern dispatch says that Morgan will be lodged in the penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio. It appears that Morgan surrendered to a militia captain named Burbridge, who he captured and forced to act as guide for him. This surrender the Federal authorities decline to recognize. Dispatches fr

kets and were soon near their fortifications, which had been erected to prevent our crossing. Gen Morgan sent in a flag of truce and demanded the surrender, but the Colonel quietly remarked "if it want his spirit had fled. He was killed by Capt. Murphy, because Magennis, by the direction of Gen. Morgan, bad ordered Murphy to restore a watch taken from a prisoner. Thus was the poor fellow's laner impression and shock than any occurrence I ever witnessed. Truly has this been a sad day. Gen. Morgan looks haggard and weary, but he never despairs. May to-morrow dawn more bright than to-day couses, by which he was enabled to make a desperate resistance. After a fight of seven hours, Gen. Morgan, finding the town could be taken in no other way, ordered a charge to be made. This ought to have been done at first; but Gen. Morgan said, when it was urged on him, that he wished to avoid the destruction of private property as much as possible, and he would only permit it as a last and fi

Gen. Morgan's command. The country looks forward with high hope to the future movements of Gen Morgan. If he had incentives to great enterprise before in his ardent patriotism and extraordinary energy, he has motives now which will add ten fold vigor to his resolution and fire to his heart. The ignominy of his treatment in Gen Morgan. If he had incentives to great enterprise before in his ardent patriotism and extraordinary energy, he has motives now which will add ten fold vigor to his resolution and fire to his heart. The ignominy of his treatment in Columbus, and the cruel treatment, resulting in the death of one of the best and bravest of their number, which has been inflicted upon his imprisoned comrades in consequence of his escape, call trumpet tongued for vengeance.

At the same time, we expect from Gen. Morgan the greatest caution and tlety that the most infernal malignity can suggest will be employed to entrap, circumvent, and destroy him. We believe that he is more
