Gen. Geo. W. Morgan,

formerly of the Yankee army, who held Cumberland Gap at the time Genkirby Smith invaded Kentucky, has resigned, and is making speeches in Indians, denouncing the war. In a recent speech he stated that, when he first joined the army, be supposed it was for the restoration of the Union, but that he had since found out that it was a crusades against the Southern planters, to rob them of their negroes. That he consequently was opposed to giving another dollar, or raising another man, for the continuance of such an unholy war.
