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."

From Charleston. Charleston Jan. 9. --No firing of any consequence to-day. The Yankees are still working on their batteries. The position of the fleet is unchanged.

The Farmers and the army. The duty of supplying the army at liberal rates is one which it might be as well for the farmers of Virginia to consider from that fascinating point of view, their own interest. The question for them to decide is whether they will dispense liberally of their products to the defenders of their possessions, or whether they shall be overrun and laid waste, their estates destroyed, and their houses burned down over their heads by the advance of Meade's army, which will follow the falling back of Lee, a calamity that the failure of the farmers to respond liberally to the calls of their country may render inevitable. If the farmers of Virginia prefer the condition of the people of Culpeper, Norfolk, and New Orleans, to their present state, they have only to keep fast their grip on their corn and wheat, and their desires can be gratified.
