lf to fight, and there burnt the railroad bridge and two other bridges, and left for Versailles, where he robbed the county treasurer of five thousand dollars, all the money he had, and again took his departure, expressing his sincere regret that the county was so very poor. We arrived at Versailles on the thirteenth, at five o'clock, and found that Morgan, after sacking the town, had sent on a force to Osgood, where they burnt a bridge and captured a telegraph operator, and kept on to Pierceville, burning all the bridges on the road, and starting thence to Milan. They then struck off on the Brookfield road, and after travelling eight miles, turned off toward Wisebergh, where they had a skirmish with the home guards. At New-Ulsas, a small German settlement, they captured a wagon-load of lager beer, which they carried with them to refresh themselves on their way. On the night of the thirteenth, we encamped at Harrison, our horses being thoroughly jaded and worn out, and men being

The whistling of the iron horse soon gave me warning, and I took my departure. The very foolish "web-footed" double-quicked after us three or four miles, and if I mistake not were handsomely ambushed and sent back minus 63 men. On arriving at Versailles, Ind., I found the column moving, in the direction of Pierceville, a station on the same road, seven miles nearer Cincinnati. Here I took down the telegraph lines, and with the assistance of Crawford I soon gave Gen. Burnside an idea where Morgan was-- not. He swallowed the bait without hesitation, never suspecting the messages were not genuine. I gave the Cincinnati operator's (Crawford) experience as a prisoner in the hands of the rebels for four hours. This was necessary, as there was an operator on the train that arrived at Osgood, who had telegra
