in Sparta to feed our horses, we marched for Chattanooga by a circuitous route for the purpose of misleading the enemy, who were after us in large force, they having been at Cooksville when we passed the White Plains, two and a half miles distant. Patriotism of the ladies. And now, having labored through the recital of so much of our rather exciting adventure, let me mention a few incidents of devoted patriotism and heroism exhibited by our fair lady friends along the route. At Lawrenceburg and Pulaski we were greeted with the wildest demonstrations of joy; handkerchiefs were waved from windows by fair hands, bouquets fell thick and fast upon us. Some came out to shake hands with the boys, while others, with a very commendable forethought, came with their servants bearing huge baskets of provisions, &c. At Lebanon, also, we were received much after the same cordial fashion, and when, on the 5th instant, the fight was raging hottest, and missiles of destruction were flying in

somewhat meagre, and in some respects erroneous, we are induced to give the following, written by a gentleman who participated in the affair: The arrival at Cave city, by. Col. M. arrived at Cave City in time to stop a freight train — a splendid new engine and 37 cars — from Louisville. I arrived soon after with our smallCave City in time to stop a freight train — a splendid new engine and 37 cars — from Louisville. I arrived soon after with our small army, when a detail of six men was sent up the railroad for the purpose of tearing up the track after a passenger train should have passed them, and which was soon due from Louisville. The freight train and engine were then destroyed. The passenger train soon coming in sight, the engineer discovered something wrong and tried to ds Sparta, where we arrived in due time without further incident.

Hearing by telegraph that the train from Nashville had been alarmed a few miles below and sell back, we commenced our march for a return to Sparts, well satisfied that we had given the Northerners proof positive that we were not very badly whipped at Lebanon. The return — Morgan as a Lecturer. On our return through Burksville, we surprised and captured eight of Wolford's cavalry, and took dinner with our loyal friends, who seemed very agreeably surprised to see Morgan and his men, whom they had supposed dead or prisoners. Morgan delivered a short lecture to the Union men, which the Court session had drawn together at this place, when we resumed our march towards Sparta, where we arrived in due time without further incident.

iscovered something wrong and tried to put back, but our men had performed their work in the rear of the train, and they were obliged to "halt," Major Coffee making his appearance and firing at the boys; but a bullet knocking splinters about his head, convinced the Major that trifling would not do. The train was surrendered and ran down to the station. A scene of hysterics, confusion, and excitement being enacted in the ladies car that is more easily imagined than described, Majors Coffee, Elbetter, and a Lieutenant surrendered as prisoners of war. An affecting scene transpired at this juncture. A beautiful young lady, the wife of Lieutenant--, her eyes red with weeping, came up to Col. Morgan, begging him to be kind to her husband. Col. M. replied that he did not know whether he should be doing her husband an act of kindness, but he was free to accompany her. The fair girl caught hold of Col.
