From the South.
Morgan's last exploit is thus described by a letter from Lenores, in East Tennessee, dated August 26th:
On last Wednesday morning an Indiana regiment was dispatched from Nashville by rail as far as the burnt bridge at Sandersville, from thence to proceed on foot to Gallatin, to recapture that place, and at the same time (if possible) to capture the redoubtable John Morgan.
The Colonel of this regiment (Hefferen) entered Gallatin and arrested every male citizen, includ hey were badly whipped; in fact, "cut all to pieces." Morgan, I believe, is still at Hartsville, or perhaps at Gallanting, and Forrest must have joined him by this time.
New recruits were flocking to Morgan from every direction in Kentucky and Tennessee, and the citizens are once again hopeful of deliverance from the Philistines.
I was unable to ascertain Morgan's loss in the last fight.
I have heard it estimated at 100 killed and wounded, but I do not believe it is half that.

--The Yankees have again re-occupied McMinnville, in large force, last Tuesday--probably the forces from Pelham and neighborhood, on their retreat to Nashville.
They may be caught, at any rate.
Tennessee will soon be entirely in the possession of the Confederates.--We have a rumor that Huntsville is evacuated.
