to their organization, and whose names will most frequently occur in the course of what we shall have occasion to say regarding these corps of freebooters—Mosby, Morgan, and Forrest. Mosby was a Virginia lawyer, endowed with the instinct of that partisan war, so difficult in an almost uncultivated country. His character and pwith a few words full of noble sentiments, and with a pliability of mind peculiarly American, he quietly went back to his office and resumed his former life. John Morgan, a daring horseman and a genial companion before the war, possessed all the necessary attributes for exercising an unbounded influence over the youth of Kentuck by the addition of other partisan bands, whose chiefs had acquired less celebrity than himself. He soon grew tired of being only a guerilla chief like Mosby and Morgan, and persuaded the Confederate government to recognize the importance of his services by bestowing upon his band, composed of two strong divisions of cavalry, the

One of the chiefs of the secession party, Mr. Morehead, was arrested in Louisville and sent to Fort Lafayette; the rest took refuge with the Confederate armies.

Such an attempt could only have been

On the 16th of March, by a bold and difficult advance, with one thousand men, he surprised a small Confederate brigade upon the elevated defile of Pound Gap, and dispersed them after a slight engagement. On the same day, at a distance of more than six hundred and fifty kilometres from this point, the Confederate partisan Morgan pushed a bold raid as far as Gallatin, on the right bank of the Cumberland, where he gathered some booty. But he was immediately after obliged to fall back as far as Shelbyville, while a detachment of Federal cavalry, which in turn entered McMinnville, south-east of Murfreesborough, on the 26th of March put to flight the troops who had come to dispute the possession of that place. The victory of Donelson was bearing its fruits, and the Federals were masters of the largest portion of the
