A gallant soldier. Among the "missing" from Gen. Jackson's army, so reported after the late battle at Greenbrier river, is George P, Morgan, Esq., of Marion county, formerly of this city. Mr. Morgan was one of the pickets who met the advancing foe, and, instead of retreating to camp, fought at their post gallantly for more than an hour. He is (or was, for we know not his fate,) as noble a specimen of a man as Virginia can boast of. He is a brother-in-law of Senator Neeson and of Samuel Woods, Esq., of the State Convention, and a brother of the late Col. Chas. S. Morgan, of Richmond, and of Hon. W. S. Morgan, of Washington city. Thus connected, and a gentleman of means and having a family growing up around him, his patriotism induced him to leave his mansion and fine farm, and all their comforts and luxuries, to share the fate of a private soldier. Such a man, living or dead, deserves more honors than the laureled chieftain. We hope that he is yet alive.
