Morgan, as Narrated by a Mem- ber of His Staff. Columbus, S. C., October 12.— Perhaps no cavalry officer of the confederate army was more popular than Gen. John H. Morgan, of Ken- tueky. His troops idolized him, for no One was more gallant or considerate inthe treatment of hie men. His tragfé death and the capture of his petéonal staff at “Greenville, Tenn., on the 4th day of Sept. 1864, is thus narrated by Capt. James Rogers, now a resident of Abbeviile, this state, who was a member of Gen. Morgan’s staff, and was present on the occasion of his death. “On. the 3d day of September, 1864,” says Capt. Rogers, “Gen. Morgan, attended by his staff, con- sisting of Capt. Albert G. Withers, Capt. H. B. Clay, Maj. Garrett ard myself, started from Carters Si: - tion, Tern., in command of xhout 1,500 cavalry, composed in part of the brigades of Cantrell, Gillner and Everett, and a regiment from Gen. Vaughn's Brigade, in command of Col. Bradford, and a section of artil- lery. Greenville was reached about | 5 o'clock on the evening of the 3d.} The troops were quartered in and around the town, with headquarters at Mrs. Williams’, whose residence was situated in the eastern portion of the town. Col. Bradford was or- } dered to picket all the roads in the} direction of Bull’s Gap, the strong- hold of the enemy, as it was well known that Gen. Gillam, with about 3,000 well mounted men, was at that place. It was the purpose of Gen. Morgan to move at 3 o'clock on the morning ofthe 4th of September, and to attack the enemy as soon as he could reach him; but at 1 o'clock on the morning of the 4th a terrible rain began to fall, in consequence of which Gen. Morgan countermanded his order to move. On the night of the 3d and old resident of Green- ville came to the house of Mrs. Williams, approached Maj. Garrett and I while we were sitting on the front piazza of the house, and in- formed us that the junior Mrs. Wil- liams had left the town. As it was known that her husband was with the federal command at Bull Gap, he believed that she intended to be- tray Gen. Morgan if possible. The General was immediately informed of this, and at once notified the of- ficers in charge of the outposts. In the meantime Mrs. Williams was looked after, and could nowhere be found. Having implicit confidence in the officers in charge of the out- posts, Gen. Morgan and staff retired for the night. As before stated, at about 1 o’clock the rain came down in tor- rents. The couriers and orderlies were quartered in the back portico of the house. Gen. Morgan, ever mindful of the comfort of his men, had gone down stairs and moved the boys inside the lower hall. The house was a large double brick, with four rooms on each floor, the second story being reached by a winding stairway. The General occupied the upper front room on the right. Capt. Withers and Maj. Garrett oc- cupied rooms, the one opposite Capt. Clay and myself, the other in the rear of the General’sroom. All was quiet until about daylight of the 4th, when the writer was asked the cause of so much firing, it being very unusual. I approached the back window and found that the back garrett and back yard were filled with federals, who were having a regular duel with the orderlies and couriers below. No time was to be lost. Iran out and looked in the General's room and came in colli sion with Miss Rembought, a sister of Mrs. Williams, who had deserted and betrayed us the night before. Miss Rembought was going to Gen. Morgan’s room to inform him of} the presence of the enemy. Gen. Morgan was upand dressed in a minute, and, accompanied by Maj. Grrrett and myself, left the Louse. | We first went to a small chureh situ- ated on the left and front of the! yard. Finding that we could not} conceal ourselves here the General | sent Maj.

I tell you, many a thin girl would be “treading the wine press” alone who is now supporting a husband, had it not been for the bustle. Many a bloodless female caricature, who is now enjoying the luxury of plant- ing her cold, clammy feet in the small of her husband’s back, would be wildly clutching the midnight air dreaming of thee, Charlie.

Chief Justice Fuller is a lay del- which assembled in convention yes- terday at Philadelphia. Among the conspicuous evidences of the stronghold which. the move- ment for reforfaing the tariff has taken dpon'thevimerican: people are the following. Notwithstanding the defeat of Mr. Cleveland last Novem- ber, every democratic state conven- tion this year has reaffirmed the tariff reform platform of the nation- al convention, and all the minor democratic gatherings throughout the country have made tariff reform either the direct purpose of coming together or the main topic of dis- cussion. The unanimity of action proves that the managing men of the democratic party recognize that the defeat of Mr. Cleaveland was due to other causes than the bold advocacy of reform in the tariff sys- tem. and that they discern in the drift of popular sentiment a demand fora party distinctly representing the cause of tariff reform. Another significant circumstance may be dis- covered in the tendency of republi- can leaders, including even Mr. Blaine himself, to “trim” on this question, and to promise “tariff re- vision” as one of the first aims of the next congress. This talk is very different from the audacious propo- sition to repeal the whisky and to- bacco taxes and increase the line of protective duties as a means of re- ducing the surplus revenue. Anoth- er evidence of the progress which the cause is making may be found in the discovery made by many of the manufacturers that they may be “protected” too much; the conven- tion of the manufacturers of woolen goods, recently held in New York, demanded free wool, and it is gener- ally recognized among manufactur- ers that free raw material is necer- sary in order to enable them to enr- large their markets and compete with their European rivals. And now the democratic societies of Pennsylvania, the home of “Pig- Iron” Kelley and the hot-bed of pro- tection, declare that there are “no dissensions, no differences” in the democratic party and add: “Con- gress has power to tax only for the support of the government econom- ically administered within plain, specified constitutional limits, and a seizure of the property of the peo- ple by the exercise of the power of taxation for any but a public and general purpose is an unconstitu- tional and monstrous abuse.” This detinition of the iniquity of the pro- tective tariff goes to the very foun- dation of the abuse, and, coming from the state of Pennsylvania with the unanimous approval of a great party, it has more weight than if it were promulgated from any other state. The sincerity of the declara- tion was further attested by the pro- longed and vociferous cheering with which Grover Cleveland’s letter was received, thus according him dis- tinct recognition as the leader of the great reform movement. “No step backward” is the motto of the tariff reformer of to-day.—K.
