General Logan’s Reception at Home. Deevorns, Ul, July 31.—General Logan ad- dressed about six thousand persons here to-day, and was enthusiastically receiyed and ap- planded throughout. He argued that it is the duty of every one to stand he Government, and most unmercifully scored all sympathi- zers with the rebellion, and those who find so tuult with the President, the army, tha ', and everything else except Jeff Davis & Co. In alluding to the peace resolutions adopted atSpringtield, he said: If their sentiments be correct, all our glorious victories of Jaly haye been tending to subvert the Constitution and Government. If men are loyal they will fayor the presecution of the war; ifnot they will find wil manner of exense. If men oppose the war it must be because they fear their friends wiil get hurt. Some objected because soldiers committed depredations. When we started from Browns- burg for Jackson and Vicksburg, with ‘five rations, fonght five battles, and were reduced to one cracker apiece, the men hungry and foot- sore, he told them to help themselves, and whenever bis troops got into sucha position they shonId have what they conld get. The Tebels do the same. They steal everything, even to the negroes, to keep us from gettingany, but you never hear of that being wrong. He insisted that ail should be for their coun- iry, right or wrong, and that the people should give the soldiers their sympathy and support. The Pirate Florida Still at Bermuda.

It states that before Mor- gan started upon his expedition, he fully ex- piained the Rebel plan, of which that expedi- was a part. He was to make no attack npon Louisville,but to go through Indiana and Ohio, Sweeping everything before him, attracting public attention in that direction, and breaking up all the railroad communications by which reinforcements for the defence of Louisville could be sent. Immediately upon this, Buck- ner was to dash into Kentucky with the very considerable force under his command, cap- ture Louisville, and take and destroy whai- ever he pleased, and then the two, Buckner and Morgan, were to makea simultaneousrush upon Cincinnati. Events occurred to interrupt and defeat this magnificent plan. Vicksburg and Port Hudson tell, and General Rosecraus advanced sooner than the Rebels expected. Buckner coulda not possibly be spared from where he was. A courier was despatched post- haste to stop John Morgan, but he was too late. ‘When he arrived Morgan was across tue Ohio, ON To Mosier. e have seen (0-day offi- cers from General Grant’s army, who leit Vicksburg about ten days ago.

It is not believed that there isany considerabie body of troops there, other than those of the retreating Gen.
