Gen. Morgan.

--On Saturday last Gen. John H. Morgan, accompanied by Gen. A. P. Hill and several other distinguished military officers, paid a visit to the Libby Prison. He conversed freely with some of the Yankee officers confined therein, and was received with much interest by all of the prisoners, especially those hailing from Kentucky. The General and Nell Dow, who has been a prisoner in this city for some time, engaged in an agreeable conversation, and received upon leaving the assurance of Dow's most cordial gratification at his escape from the Ohio prison and safe arrival in the Confederacy.

Yesterday morning General Morgan, his wife, her sister, and members of his Staff, attended divine worship at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, where he paid earnest attention to the interesting services of the occasion. Of course they were the "observed of all observers."
