See the report of the magnificent exploits of
Morgan, as told by the
Yankees themselves, in another column of this paper.
We were wrong in attributing rashness to his enterprise, and we retract that opinion.
It was one of the most daring and best conceived that could possibly have been imagined.
He knew the danger he ran of being captured with his comparative handful of men. But he believed that the service he could render would more than counterbalance all danger and all loss.
And so it has turned out. The loss he has inflicted is prodigious, beyond all estimate or conception.
We do not believe that he has been or will be captured.
Indeed, the
Yankee papers do not say so.
