To Major General E. Kirby Saiiih, Com m.

General: I have the honor to report tc
that, upon the day of -the engagement at
Tompkiosville, a fall report of which I have tc
already sent yoa, 1 moved my command, ^
consisting of my own regiment, the Geor- je
gia Regiment of Partisan Rangers, com- p]
mantled by Col. A. A. Hnnt, and Major p|
Gaoo's Texas Squadron, to which was at- tj.
tached two companies of Tennessee cavalry, tv
in the direction of Glasgow, which place I C(
reached at 12 o'clook that night. ^
There were but few troops in the town, a,
who fled at ourapproach. The commissary tj.
stores, clothing, &c , together with a large 8t
supply of medical stores, found in Glasgow, a
were burned, and the guns were distributed e(
among my oemmanU~--aboat two hundred ^
of which were unarmed when 1 left bLaox- n

From Glasgow, I proceeded along, the ^
main Lexington Road to Barren River, q
} halting for a time near Cave City?my ob* aj
* jeot being to induoe the belief that Iio- m
tended destroying the railroad bridge be- jtween
Bowling Green and" Woodsooville.
I caused wires, connecting with a portable
battery that I carried with me, to be at- ^
tached to the telegraph line near Horse te
Cave, and intercepted a number of despatches.
. At Barren River, I detached three com- Vl
% w
panies, under Capt. Jack Allen, to move
forward rapidly and destroy the Salt River a'
Bridge, that the troops along the line of 01
railroad might be prevented from, returning w
to Louisville. "
On the following morning, I moved off
towards Lebanon, distant thirty five miles ^
tc
from Barren River. At eleven o'clock at ^
i night, I reached the bridge 'over Rolling
f..?t O? * mi Ilia fmm nnn Th? PftPmv ^
bad received information of my approach 1
< from their spies, aod my advanoe gourd was ^
fired upoo at the bridged After a- short ^
fight, the foroe at the bridge waff dispersed
aod the planks which bad been torn op .
} having been replaced, the command moved ^
forward to Lebanon. About two miles from
-v ^
the town, a skirmish commenced between ^
two companies that I caused to dismount ^
I and deploy and a force of the enemy posted
' on the road, which was sooo ended by its ^
dispersion and capture. Lieht. Col. A. Y.
Johnson, commanding the troops in the ^
town, surrendered, and I entered the place. ^
The prisoners taken, in number about 65,
were paroled.
1 took immediate possession of the tele- ~
graph and intercepted a despatch to Col.
> Johnson, informicg him that Col. Owens, al
with the 60th Indiana Regiment, bad been ?
sent to his assistance; so I at once-despatch j*
ed a company of Texan Rangers, under ^
Major Gano, to destroy the railroad bridge ^
oo the Lebanon Branch, which be success- ^
fully accomplished in time to prevent the
arrival of the troops. I burned two long
r buildings full of commissary Btores, con- p
sistiog of upwards of five hundred sacks of
coffee aod a large amount of all other sup- 111
i plies in bulk, marked for the army at Cum- ^
m bei land Gap. I also destroyed a very large
L. arnouut of clothing, boots, &c. I burned ^
the hospital buildings, which appeared to
p have been recently erected and fitted up, ^
together with about thirty five wagons and
fifty-three new ambulances. I found ia the
place a large store of medicines, five thous- ai
and stand of arms with accoutrements, ?
about two thousand sabres, and an immense 31
quantity of ammunition, shell, &o.> I dis- ^
tribnted the best arms among my command, sl
and loaded one wagon with them to begiv- en
to the recruits that I expected to join 0
i me. I also loaded one wagon with ammo- ^
nition. The remainder of the arms, am- ^
! munition and the hospital aad medical u
stores I destroyed. . ^
While in Lebanon, I ascertained from
telegraph despatches that I intercepted, u
that the fjrce which bad been started from H
Lebanon Junction to reinforce Lieut. Col *
Jobuson, bad met and driven back tbe 0
force under Capt. Jack Allen, killing one e
of his men, and preventing him from ao w
complishiuu tbe purpose for whiob be had a
been attached.
1 proceeded from Lebanon on tbe follow- n
iDg day through Springfield to JVJacksville, p
at which point I was attacked by the Home h
Guards. Two of my men were taken pris u
ODers, aod oDe severely wounded. I re- ?
' muioed at Maoksville that night to recover ji
tbe prisoners, which I did the next morning 1<
1 then left for Harrodsburg, capturing a S
Federal Captain aod Lieoteuanton^e road, A
reached Harrodsburg at 12i o'clock, and si
found tnat tbe Home Guard of all thai t<
ft portion of country bad fled to Lexington, p
A force was also stationed on the bridge f
ft where the Lexington road crossed the Ken t
ft tqeky River. My reception at this "place a
jvas very encouraging. ' The whole population
appeared to turn out and vie with each |a
ft^ other as to who should show us tbe most t
ft_ attention 1
ft I jeft Jfarrodsburg at 6 o'clock tbe saofe {[
ft evening, and moved to Lawrenceburg, 20 H
ailes distant, threatening Franfefbrt in or- i
ier to draw off the troops from Georgetown,
lemained there until the return of my <
ourier from Frankfort, who brought the
aformatioo that there was a foroe in Frank- i
ort of two or three thonsand men, consist- !
og of Home Guards collected froru the ad- i
icent oouoties, and a few regular troops.
From Lawreoceburg I proceeded to
Ibrykes' Ferry, on the Kentucky River,
aised the boat which:had been sunken, and
tossed that evening, reaching Versailles at
o'clock. I fonnd this place abandoned I
y its defenders, who Aad fled to Lezing- i
on ; remained there that night, and on the
ext morning marched towards Georgetown.
Vhile at Versailles, I took three hundred !
lovernmeot^horses and mules.
I passed through Midway on the road to i
fcorgetown, and was informed, just before
caching the place, that a train from Frank- :
urt was nearly due, with two regiments .of i
'ederals. I tore up the track and posted
ie howitzers to command it, and-formed i
>y command aJoog the line of the road; <
u.fc the train way* vraraed of oar presence, '
Dd returned to Frankfort. Having taken
ossession of the telegraph office, I inter?pted
a despatch asking if the road was j
tear and. if it would be safe to start the (
ain from Lexington. I replied to send <
le train, and.made preparations to receive t
y bat it was also, taraed back and esiped.
<
I reached Georgetown, twelve miles from I
exington, that evening. Jost before en- '
tring the town, I was informed that a t
nail force of Home Guards bad mustered <
> oppose us. I sent them word.to sorreu- j
ar their arms, and they should not be mo- <
sted j but thev fled. The people of this i
lace also welcomed us with gladness, and 1
rovided my troops with every thing that |
iey needed. I remained at Georgetown t
ro days, during which time I sent out a ?
>mp&ny under Capt: McMillan to destroy ?
ie track between Midway and Lexington,
id Midway and Frankfort, and to blow up
ie stone bridge on that road, which be
tccesstully accomplished. Hearing that
company of Home Guards were enoampi
at "Stamping Ground/' thirteen miles {
istant, I despatched a company under J
apt. Hamilton to break op the encarapent,
born the tents and stores, and de- 1
roy the guns. This wa? accomplished^- '
apt. Hamilton taking fifteen prisoners and
1 their gons, and destroying a large a
OQot of medical and commissary supplies,
also, while at Georgetown, seat Capin
Castelman with bis company to de- 1
roy the railroad bridges between Paris and ?
exingtoo, and report to me at Winches?
This was done.
Determining to more on Paris, with a [
Lew of returning, and hearing that the place "
as being rapidly reinforced from Cyothi- j
aa, I deemed it of great importance to
it off the communication from that place, (
bile I drew off the troops that were al- j
:ady there by a feint on Lexington 1
lerefore despatched a portion of two com- t
inies towards Lexington, with instructions (
? drive the pickets to the very entrance of g
<e city, while I moved the command to (
ard Cyothiana. When I arrived withio (
tree miles of the place, I learned that it ^
as defended by a considerable force of inmtry,
cavalry and artillery. I despatched
le Texas squadron, under Major Gsno, to (
iter the town on the right, and the Georia
Regiment to cross the river and get into
le rear, while I moved my own regiment,
ith the artillery under the oommuod of g
ieut J. E. Harris, down the . Georgetown ^
tke. A severe engagement took place,
hich lasted about au hour and a half, be- r
ire the enemy was driven into the town
ad compelled to surrender. I took four
QDdred and tweDty prisoners, including r
bout seventy Home Gnards. I regret to

he enemy's loss was ninety four killed
ad wouuded, according to their <?wo ac
mot. Tbir excess in killed and wounded
remarkable, as they fought us from be
ind stone fences, and fired at us from
oildiogs as we charged through the town.
ire captured a very fine twelve pounder
rass piece of artillery, together with a large
amber of small arms and about three bnored
Government horses The arms and
ovcrnment Btores were burned, and as
any of the horses as we could bring with
3 were kept. I found a very large supply
' commissary and medioal stores, tents,
uns and ammunition at this plaoe, which
destroyed The paroled prisoners were
nt under an escort to Falmouth, where
ley took the train for Cincinnati.
I proceeded next morning towards Paris,
nd was met on the road by a bearer of a
ag of truce, offering the unconditional
irreoder of the plaoe. I reached Paris at J
o'clock, remained there that night, and
:arted towards Winchester next morning, t
l8 my oommand was Sling out of Paris, f
o the Winchester Pike I discovered a large ;
>rce of Federals ooming towards the town, .
*om the direotion of Lexington. They im- ]
lediately countermarched, supposing, uo!(
oubt, that my intention was to ^etiotoj
a?ir rear. This enabled me to bring off|
ly entire command without molestation,
dth the exception of two of my pickets, who (
rere probably surprised. I reached Wiu- |
heater that day, at 1&o'clock, and remain- |
d UDtil 4 o'clock, when I proceeded to
lards Richmond. At Winchester I found |
number of arms, which were destroyed. ,
I arrived at Richmond at 12o'cloob that |
ight, and remained uotil the next after- I
oon, when I proceed to Crab Orchard. I I
iad determined to make a stand at Rich i
uond, and await reinforcements, as the I
rbole people appeared ready to rise and
^in me, but I received information that 1
lrge btdies of cavalry, uoder Geo. C ay
imith and Oolouels Woolford, Metcalf,
luody and Wynkoop, were endeavoring to
urrouud me at this place. So 1 moved oo i
j Crab Orchard. There I attached my *
ortable battery to the telegraph leading
rom Stanford to Louisville, and learned ;
he exact position of the enemy's forces,
od directed my movements accordingly.
Leaving Crab Qrobarcj at lj. o'clock, I
rr.ved at Somerset, distant twenty eight
ailes, at sup down. I took possesion of
he telegraph, and countermanded all the
irevious orderg that had bssB given by
General Boyle to intercept me, and remain #
ed in perfect security all night. I found a
very large supply of oommissary stores,
slothing, blankets, shoes, hats, &c., at this
place, which were destroyed. I -also tocnd
the arms that had been taken from General
Zollieoffer, together with large quantities
of Shetl and ammunition, all of which were
destroyed. I also burned at this place, and
Crab Orchard, abont one hundred and thirty
Government wagons.
From Somerset I proceeded to Monticello,
and from thence to between Livingston
and: Sparta, where my command is now encamped.
I left Knoxville on the 4th day of this
month with abont nine hundred men, and
returned to Livingston on the 28th inst.,
with nearly two hundred, having been absent
just twenty fonr days, during which
time I traveled over a thousand mites, captured
seventeen towns, destroyed all the
government supplies and arms in them, dispersed
about fifteen hundred Home Guards,
and paroled nearly twelve bondred regular
troops. I lost in killed, wounded and mieiing,
of the number that T carried into
Kentucky, about ninety.

Morgan's Telegraphic Feats.
Geo. Morgan, in bis recent tour through
Kentucky, took with him a telegraphic
^erator, Mr. G. A. Ellsworth, whose offirial
report of bis proceedings we find in
he Atlanta Confederacy of the 5th ibst.?
3e commences his report as follows :
Knoxville, July 30, 1862.
rJapt. R. A. Ahton, A. A. G. :.
On the 10th Jnly, Geo. Morgan, with
nyself and a body guard of fifteen men,
trrived at a point one half a mile below
Sorse Cave, oo the Louisville and JNashrille
railroad, where I took down the telegraph
wire and connected my pocket initromeot
for the purpose of taking off all
lisp&tohes as they passed through. Ow
ng to a heavy storm prevailing South the
itmospherio electricity preveoted me from
sommunicating with Bowling Green. I
m mediately put on my ground wire southward,
noticing particularly at the same
ime what change it would make in the
sircuit. It did make it stronger, but the
itorm mentioned affeotiog telegraphs more
?r less, Louisville did not suspicion anyhing
wrong, and I answered for Bowling
jlreen, when I reoeived the following rnes
?ge: . ;
Louisville, July 10.
lTo S- D. Brown, Bowling Green:
"You and Col. Houghton move togethsr.
I fear the force of Col.'H. is too small
o venture to Glasgow. The whole force
ihould move together, as the eoemy are
nouoted. We cannot venture to Teave the
oad too far, as they may pass rooud and
uin it. J. T. Boyle,
"Brigadier General commanding."
I returned the usual signal, "0. K."
ifter receiving the message.
Louisville immediately called Nashvilje,
tod I answered for Nashville, receiving
lusiness for two Lours. This busioess
was mostly wf a private nature, and I took
10 copies. It co;uld be plainly perceived
rom the tenor of the messages that 1Morgan
was in the country, and all orders to
o send money and valuables by railroad
vere countermanded, as they supposed.?
Little did the operator at Louisville think
ill his work woold have to be repeated the i
iext day. Loaisville also seat the news
>f the day, and thus wo were furnished
tfew York and Washington dates of that
iay. Duriog the whole of this time it was
aining heavily, and my situation was anyhing
but cu agreeable one?sitting in the
nud with my feet in the water up to my
tnees. At eleven o'clook, p. m , the geniral
being satisfied that we had drained
uouisville of News, concluded to close'for
he night, and gave me the following mestagc
to send, dating and signing as below :
"Nashville, July 10.
Henry Dent, Ptovost Marshal, Louisville:
' General Forrest, commanding a brigade,
attacked Murfreesboro, routing our
orces, and is now moving on Nashville ?
Morgan reported to be between Scottsville
ind Gallatin, and will act in concert with!
Forrest it is believed. Inform the general
;ommanding,
"Stanley Mathews,
Provost Marshal."
I am not aware that General Morgan
jlaims to be a prophet, or the son of a
prophet, but Forrest did attack Murfreesjoro,
and rout the enemy.
He then proceeded to Lebanon, and took
possession of that office, and for some time
receked all the dispatches of the Yankee
generals. At other stations he carried on
;he same game, until Morgan's forces and
he reached Somerset, the last town on ttie
route. Gen. Morgan rlien requested him
to transmit the following messages :

Federal Depredations, etc.
The RicWhond Dispatch $ays: -1
The depredations committed by Pope's
army in Calpe'perare without parallel, even
in-this war of unheard of atrocities. The
infamous order of the Yankee commandant
of that department has beeo pat into practical
operation, and, as a result, large num
bers of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, &c.,bave
been stolen from their rightful owners, and
the stock of wheat, corn and other necessaries
of life, oonBtitotibg the sustenance of
the people, bsve been appropriated tb'fhe
use of the invaders. Ih. some instances,
families have been left upon thdv verge of
starvation. Acts of the most'infamous
character enacted upon the negro women of
the oouDty are reported in the presence of
white ladies,, and io some instances deeds of
violence have been perpetrated upon respec
tablo ladies themselves: - Citizens are daily
arrested and sent of to Washington, there
to be incarcerated. Among others, the
Rev. John Cole, an aged minister of the
Episcopal Church, was arrested on Sonday
last, and taken from his pulpit; for praying
for the Confederacy. They stole from Capt.
John Taylor, an officer iu the Confederate
army, twenty-eight negroes, burnt bis house
and all the out-buildings, carried off bis
stook aod everything else, of value, and
desolated his entire farm, one of the finest
in the county.
A gentleman direct from the neighborhood,
informs ns tbaYtbe Yankee Vandals
are roaming the counties of Nansemond,
and Isle of Wight, stealing negroes, baoon,
and horses, and arrestiug every citizen
whose loyalty to the Confederate States is
known.
A correspondent of the Lynohburg Republican,
gives the particulars of the treatment
of Major S. Roberts, a veteran of
1812, at his farm in the vicinity of Baton
Rouge. The enemy learned that his two
sons, one captain of a guerilla oompany,
and the other a regular Confederate soldier,
were at their father's house. The letter
sajs:
Collecting a body of his men, Col. MoMilton,
of the 21st Indiana Rcgimeot, proceeded,
under negro guidance, to the house
of Major S. Roberts. Surrounding the
house, they demanded the surrender of Josiah
and G. W. Roberts. Knowing too
well what would be their fate, they determined
to die rather than surrender. - Seizing
a gun, Josiah was aboat to make the
best defence, when be fell at his father's
door, pierced by several balls. Major S.
Roberts, a veteran of 1812 and 1815, and
upwards of four-score years, grasped the gun
from the hands of his dyiog.son, and shot
down Col. McMilton. The officer next in
command thea ordered his men to charge
bayonets upon and murder the "d?d old
scoundrel." The old Major stopped baok
a pace or two, and told them that? be was
lord and master ot his own honse. that he
had done the deed, and that, if the; advanced
one step, he would fire again. Taken
aback by such coolness and bravery,
the commanding officer told bis men not to
hurt the old man under any consideration,
| but to take him prisoner, for he was too
brave to kill. .
But numbers prevailed, and the old man
and son were taken prisoners. Then commenced
high handed pillage and devastation.
The house was set on fire, as were
likewise barns, the gin and sugar houses,
and burnt to the ground. The mules, horses
and stock were driven off; negroes taken
away; carts, wagons and farming utensils
were seized, and the growing crops des
troyed. Not a building was left to tell
where lately flourished a prosperous farm
1 he wife of G. W. Roberts, scarcely strong
enough to rise from a bed of. confinement,
was driven out and forced to fly from a
house that was burning over her head, and
obliged to walk several miles to seek shelter
for herself and tender babe in the house
of a neighbor, and to procure assistance to

old man, borne down by a wrecked constitution
and the weight of oppressive years,
was compelled to walk twelve miles, over a
miserably muddy road, and to oap the olimax
of brutality, father and son were handcuffed
together and driven through the
streets of Baton Rouge. Iu the words of
the narrator, "An old man and son could
nut be guarded by a regiment of men without
binding the prisoners in irons."
Hard Bodies.?A few days ago, while
the friends of some of the brave men wbo
recently fell victims to the insane fury of
Linoo'n's myrmidons, tycre searching in
the neighborhood of Qaines' Mill for their
bodies, they struck on something which
had such a bard feeling, that, thongh duly
labelled as a Pennsylvania Colonel, they
were induced to e*bqrae the body, whioh
proved to be a splendid 24 pounder brass
howitzer. Several other "Colonels" of a
similar kind were afterwards dug np.

tages, to,the cud that they may he.mnrder- s
ed in oold blood if any of hia soldiers are \
killed by someunknowo persons, whom. he.,
designates as Bush-whackers. 1
Under this state o| facts, this Govern- t
ment has issued the enclosed..General Or- I
der, recognizing Gci- Pope and bis officers t
to be in the pqsitiou which they have cho- j
sen for themseiyesr-tbat of- robbers and
tpqrderers-r-aod notthatof public enemies, j
entitled, if captured, to' bp considered as i
prisoners of war. We.fiod ourselves driven (
by oar enemies, by. a steady progress,- -to I
wards a practice which we abhor, and t
which we are vaioly striving to avoid. Some r
of the military, authorities of-the United 1
States seem to suppose that better sacoess t
will attend a savage war, in which no quar- a
ter is to be given, and no age or sex to be
spared, than has hitherto been secured by s
suoh hostilities as are alone recognized to \
be lawful by civilized man io modern times, s
, Pgr the present, we teoounce oup right 1
of retaliation -on the innocent, and shall poo- t
tinne to treat.the private enlisted soldiers v
of Gen. Pope*s army as prisoners of war ; c
but if, after notice haa been given to the \
Government at Washington of our eon fid- t
iog in the represaivA),meausure of punish- ]
ment onlyv.of the commissioned officers, c
who are willing participants in these crimes, v
these savage practioes are continued,': we a
shall reluctantly be forced to the- last re- f
sort of acoeptiog the war on the terms cho f
sen.by ouV foes, until the outraged , voice r
of a common humanity forces a respect for '
the recognized rules of warJV-. : ? >.r
While these facts would "justify our refusal
to exeoute the generous cartel, by
ifbiob we: have consented to liberate aQ e*- 1

gard for our plighted faith, springing from
the mere semblance of breaking a promise, (
prevents our resort to this extremity. Nor i
do we desire to extend to any other forces _
of the enemy the . punishment merited a- .
lone by Gen. Pope and such commissioned c
officers a? choose to participate in the exe- 1
cation of bis infamous orders. : - ' w 4

From Baltimore. 1
A gentleman direct from Maryland in- v
forms os that reoroitrag for the United 6
States army is "an up hill business" in 1
Maryland. With all -the efforts that had
been made, and pathetio appeals through fthe
war newspaper, not more than twenty 1
men had enlisted in Baltimore up to the t
26th of July. Already 'large numbers of a
young men are preparing to leave should-' *
the alternative be adopted, aod?of those
who remain there will be found, but few J
who oan be depended on to fight on the 1
side of the -North. Deserters from the *
Federal army daily pass through the South- 1
ern counties of Maryland, going home, and *
the people help them along their way very ^
wtlliogly. Some of these men say that they 1
have been deceived?that they didn't en- 1
list to fight for niggers; but the majority J
declare that they have seen .enough of the 1
elephant and are tired of the war. They ^
occasionally offer their revolvers for sale to 6
the citizens at a low price, and our informant
purchased a very fine Colt's pistol of
one of them for three dollars. An incident
occurred recently in Calvert county |
which is worth relating. Two deserters
from the 1st Massachusetts regiment visi- ^
ted the house of a gentleman and begged t
for food, which bo readily gave tbem, and
while they were eating be recalled to miud ,
the fact that on a previous' occasion bis
dwelling had been plundered and many ^
valuable artioles, including his wife's watch, ,
stolen by the Yankees; and he now recog- *
oiaed in his guests two of the party who
were engaged in that nefarious transaction, j
He mentioned jhe circumstance, but they j.
stoutly deniftd all knowledge of it; they
I 1 I .L.J' It 11 L I' "
naa never Deen in tnai neigiiDornooa oeiore. (
The gent ernen then called bis Irish over- t
seer and asked him if be had ever seen ,
these individuals, and could remember any
incident in connection with them Patrick j
gazed at them for a moment and exolaiwcd t
?"Faith, they are the same bloody thaves t
that stole the only pair uv shirts !" Two j
negro^men were then quietly sent for, and ^
the hapless Jfankees, having Deen strippod f
and tied, were subjected to an indefinite (
number of stripes, well laid on by the willing
hands of the "contrabands." "Now,"
said the gentleman, when he turned theui
loose, "go and tell your master, Lincoln, t
that two negroes have flogged you from
your heads to your heels."?Richmond,}
