ound yesterday noon, after an unsuccessful three days chase of Morgan. Cincinnati, July 14, 1862. A dispatch, dated Lexington, says that General Ward assumed command last night. The city is under martial law. No man is to appear without a musket under penalty of being shot down. Gen. Ward's proclamation orders all the citizens of Fayette county to prepare forthwith for military duty. A dispatch, dated Frankfort, says that Morgan, with less than 10,000 men, crossed the Kentucky river this morning, and moved North to Versailles, where now is a force sufficient for the protection of Frankfort and Lexington. Since Saturday night the city has been greatly excited. A thousand rumors are afloat. Meetings have been held, and citizens in large numbers have volunteered special service at Lexington. Over one hundred of the city police went fully armed. Many citizens are yet anxious to go, but their services will not be accepted until further news from Morgan is had.
