I at once sent a copy of this letter to the Secretary of War, and wrote at the same time to Gen. Cox, Commanding Department of Ohio, to urge the matter and see that it was not overlooked in the hurry of official business. Finally an order came from the Secretary that "In consequence of my honorable conduct on a former occasion, he had determined to make mine an excepted case, and directed that I be immediately released and sent to City Point."

The cause of Morgan's raid into Ohio. --The Paroled Prisoners,--The Atlanta Confederacy publishes a letter written by Lieutenant-Colonel R. W. Alston, Morgan's Adjutant-General, to a friend, which gives us the only intelligible reason for Gen. Morgan's raid into Ohio which we have yet seen.

The strategy succeeded, and, instead of Burnside reaching Knoxville by the 9th of July, he did not get there until about the 9th of September.--The object of our expedition, therefore, was partially accomplishe

The same letter gives the reasons for Lieutenant-Colonel Alston's being paroled, it appears that he gained his point by pertinaciously holding the Yankee Government to its promise as given by the officer who paroled hspair.
