Tho lati-et version of tho affair appears in tho correspondence of tlio Enquirer, dated at Columbus. ).. rc-it .ratiiiir tho old btorv that (ieneral Morgan wan brutally murdered by tlio loyal TeiiuohHou troojm under command of (ieneral A C. Gill'-m, with the-additional ehargo that hi.s dead lody wan tied to a horsn'H tail, and dragged thro:t;l. the Htre;ts, of Greenvilla An a ni' tnlier of Gen. Giilem'ri commaiid.and in jutice to tho loyal East Ti uuc-hm :h.b, I ask Kpaco in your excellent paper to btato brielly tiio circuiiiHtancen attending tho death of Gen. Morgan, as rememlerod by nio after the lapse of over eighteen ycirn: On the night of Sep- temluT .'5, Wii, fien. A. C. Gillein, in command of the Eighth, Ninth, and Thirteenth regimcnta of TeiineHHto cavalry, and tlio Tenth Michigan cavalry went into camp at :u11'b Gap, a point fifty-Hix iuiien east of Kno.willa On tho name night ficn. Morgan, whoHo command numbered about three thousand troopa, encamped at Greenville, eighteen miles it of IJullV Gap. Neither commander wan aware of the eloi-o proxiimly of the other. About 10 o'clock at night Gen. Gillem received information that a Hinall force of rebel, were eiii:amped on the road between Greenville aud Lull's Gap, and at once conceived tho idea of capturing them. J o accomplish thm he ordered Colonel lnger- ton. of the Thirteenth Tennessee cav alry, to move his regiment bv an unfrequented road to tho rear of thm force. Loio nel Iugerton, guidod bv one Captain SSizcniore, who was familiar with tho country, after marching over a moat difiicult road through a Hcvero rain utnrm, which laHted all ruinit, hiic ceeded in reaching the state road a a point one mile wotit of Greenville, and placed his rcgi ment in position facing iSull'a Gap (except two Companion, which were faced in the oppo.sito direction an a precautionary movement) to await tho Hinall force of rebels which were to be attackod by tho remainder of General Gil- lem'tj command, and which he hoped to inter cept and capture. Colonel lnscrton was and in ignorance or the tact that uenerai Jiorgan with bin command was only a miloaway, and it was while waiting the approach of the enemy from tho oppomto direction that ho received tho Htaitlmif information, through a air Williams, that General Morgan's command was -encamped on Coliejro Hill, just east of Green viiie.aud tlio general and ins Btau were at lier house in tho town. Tho colonel ordered Major Wilcox, in charge of the two companies which were iu position facing the town, to pro ceed at once to the house of .! rs. v llliams and capturo Morgan and hi.s stafl'. Wilcox accord ingly surrounded tho premises of Mrs. Wil liams, consisting of a liouso located on a tri- mgular shaped lot containing an area of about throe acres, part of winch was a vineyard. Finding themselves surrounded, the general and his staff officers ran out into tho gardi.n looking ont for a chance of escape. Just at this tune a soldier in his shirtsleeves was dia coverod, crouched behind a cluster of grape vine, ami was oruere i in huricuuer. i-inoiiig that ho was disco v. ivd, instead of snrrender- inir hn ntartml ti i 1m fraa ri r-rti I nnnn almost simultaneously by Andrew Cami )bell and John G. liurehfieid, of Company C, Thir teenth Tenneaaoe cr.valry. Tiirowing up his lianas, no cxcia:meti, -un, uou: and fell dead. This man was (ieneral John II. Morir.in. The first duo to his identity was a pistol lying by his side, upon winch was inscribe.!, wlrescnted to tapt. John II. Mortran bv .ul. C olt " Aftortho bodv had also been identiliod bv some of his staff ofticers who had been captured, it was placed upon a horse and hastily conveyed back, tow ards our regiment, closelv pursued bv the rebel troops, whom the hring had apprised of the presence of our forces. General Gillem soon came up with tho remainder of his com mand, and a sharp engagement took place be tween his brigade and Morgan's troops, now under command of Gen. basil Duke, resulting in tho defeat of the latter. After tho tight the boclv of Gen Morgan was delivered over to h'.3 comrades and friends under a flag of truce. I he report, started at the time, that Gc:i. Morgan had been murdered by the Tennessee troops was publicly denied Ly Col. Clay, of his (Morgan's) staff, in a card published ia Tha Knoxviilo Whig. Col. Clay, who was then a prisoner iu our hands, stated that Gen. Mor gan had often said he would never again sur render, and it was his adherence to this reso lution that cost him his lifo. Another incident related to us at the time, pertaining to tho death of Gen. Morgan, might bo of interest to those or a superstitious turn or mind. !he night previous to his death was a dismal, stormy night, raining almost incessantly, and the general having no adecuato shelter from tho storm, and having sent out detachments of troops on all the roads from which an enemy might bo expected to advance, he de cided to seek shelter for himself aud staff in town. After he had been at the house of Mrs. Williams for some time, he remarked to some of his othcers that he felt as it he should return to camp, that he was oppressed bv a mysterious foreboding of evil, and once or twice docided to return to camp, but was lulled into a feeling of security by the more cheerful mood of his companions, aud finally docided to remain. Keflectina: upon ins tragical ileatu tneu bo near at hand, ono is led to wonder if some good angel, whoso voice tho rebel chieftain failed to heed, was whispering warnings of Ilia impend ing danger. The statement of the correspondent above referred to, that Gen. Morgan was killed by a deserter from his own command on account of some personal grievance, is erroneous. Andrew Cambpell, who waj supposed to have nred the shot that killed Gen. Morgan, although a deserter from the rebel army, had never known Morgan, and did not have the remotest idea that ha was tiring at Morgan. I will add that Campbell is a native of Ireland, and sin j ttie war has resided for manv vears at Bloomiug- ton, Indiana. Tenxessean. Owousville, Ind. The Krlialeustcinc 35yKtery Solved. New York Sun: In many parts of Switzerland are often found smooth flat stones, evidently hand-polished, and covered with dots, lines, circles and half circles. The origin and uso of these etonea, known among country people as Schalensteine, has loni been a mooted point among the learned. Some have thought they were charms, others that thev were meant to commemorate tho dead, or that tho sins on them were unde cipherable hieroglyphics; but it has been re served tor Herr Itodiger, or Uellach, in Solothurn, to suggest a theory concerning them which seems to meet all the necessities of tho case. The Schalensteine, he says, are topographical cnarts, as a comparison or them with sny modern map of the districts in which thev are found will show. Tho engraved dots corres pond with the existing towns and villages, tha lines witu roads. i.ven the lords and moun tain passes are indicated. Herr Ilodiger has examined many of those stones from various parts of the country, and he poBfes.-es a col lection, picked up in .oiottmrn, winch form to gether a map of the entire canton. Auother significant circumstance is that tho Schalen- steino are mostly found at intervals of about two hours (say six miles) from each other, and at spots where roads meet Iineovery of a Soap Mine. A soap mine has been discovered in Califor nia. The siibstaneo is a deposit of white earth, free from grit, and impregnated with a small percentage of pol ash. ltise-.sily sliced into bars, and for cleaning purpos s is a fair sub stitute for soap.

On his entry into the senate chamber, where were assembled the senate and tho members of the house of representa tives, the members rose, and Mr. Lurr left tho chair of tho senate, which Air.

After which ho returned to his lodgings, accompanied by the vice-presi dent, chief justice and tlio heads of depart ments, where ho wan waited upon by a num ber of distinguished citieus. As soon as he withdrew, a discharge of artillery was ma!o. Tlio remainder of tho day was devoted to pur poses of festivity, aud at night there was a pretty general illumination." i:il B'erkliiK' IIInrlili:uatt. Eli Perkins in Chicago Tribune. The typical Englishman who adds an uh" to every word beginning with a vowel arrived in New York yesterday. Ho said lie was glad to vir-it Haineriea, tho New World, that he had read so much about in the Hingliah newspa pers. When I asked him what theatres he was go ing to attend in tho evening, he said: I really kont tell, you know. Perhaps it will be the Hacademy of Music, or Ilabcy'a Park theatro, or 'Averly's, or 'Aragon and 'Art's. In tho evening I saw him buying tickets at Wallack's.

A Look of Thad Stevens' Hair. That genial fellow, John L. Thomas, of Bal timore, tolls this good story about the great commoner of Pennsylvania: "When I was in congress I used to be a frequenter of tho room of old Tliad Steveu3. One day, whilo talking together, a visitor entered unexpectedly. Sho Tras a tall, raw-boned woman, with ox-bow spectacles on the bridge of har nose, and a bulky green ging- hnm umbrella. She handed Mr. Stevens a card with the words, "Abigail Meecham. Kenne- buukport, Me.," and said: "Do I havetho honor oi beholuing tho Hon. rhaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania?" Somewhat embarrassed. Mr- Stevens acknowledged his identity, and uskud his visitor to be seated. "Thank you, no," was the rcplv. "but I wish to sav. sir", that in niv quiet home down east I have heard of your glonoua efforts in behalf of the emaneip'ated slave, of your heroic treatment of the southern question, and of your undving hostility to the enemies of mv country, and I have traveled hither, sir, to ask tho privilege of shaking your hand.' She shook it. 'Now. sir. I have one more favor to ask. It is a souvenir of this interview. I wish to take home with me, if I ma j- be so bold as to ask it,' a lock of tho great commoner's hair.' Old Thad waa for a mo ment moro embarrassed than I ever saw him before, then he smiled faintly; he put his hand to his scalp-lock, and, lifting hia brown wig bodily, laid it upon the table, leaving hia pate as bald aa a billiard ball. There ia every hair on my head, madam; make vour choice of a lock.' " The Ocean's Dee p. Demoroat's Monthly.

"On tha contrary it is much mora common than you would beliove, and it is moat efilcacloua whero a person through hemorrbago or from other cannot ii at death's door from loss of blood.

"What is tho usual method of transfusing tho blood?" "Well, after first tightly bindiuar the arms of the person from whom the blood is to be taken and of the person to whom tho blood is to bo transfused, an incision is made in ono 6f tho veins of the former, and tho blood which flows from it is placed in one or two cups or bowls.

I know, of course, that I will be 'pitched'" into by some of the fra ternity for speaking as I do, but I beliove that physi -i.ins have a higher aim than keeping to themselves simple and effective life-saving i.-;,,u:lies as this has been proved to lc." IiiiKM-iiraey or HtullNties of I lllterrto A very nv.gract irrtsr of ntatement mat' congress by Senator lil dr, of New Hamp.inii. , is exposed in the report of John 1$. Peaslee, superintendent of tin Cincinnati public schools. In bis speech on his educational bill to spend a great many millions for freo in struction in the more illiterate states Senator Llair went into statistics witli amazing inac curacy, In Cincinnati, lie said, tho average attendance in the schools ia less than one third tho number of children, and 5I.0K aro are not enrolled at all. "There are," continued the speaker, fairly roaring in misinformation, "more than 40,i!(K children in the groat city of Cincinnati to-day who are growing up in ig noraace as dense as that in tho jungles in" Africa, while they aro subjected to tho influ ence of tho sharpened culture of civilized vico." This is truly alarming, and discreditablo if true, and all the more mysterious because i t is very hard to find in Cincinnati a child of school age whoso education has been wholly neglected. Tho trouble with Senator Blair is that his statistics have thrown him down and are rolling him over and over. Ho takes tho total number of unmarried youths iu Cincin nati, between the ages of six and twenty-one, and subtracts tha number em oiled in schools. In this way ho has thousands of our most highly educate ! youths, including graduates of the high schools of Yale and Harvard, placed smon.' the illiterates such as roam the thickets of th.i dark continent Youths between eighteen arid twenty-one should not bo reckoned in his estimate, for tho high school graduates aver age little over eighteen years of age. Every unmarried person iu Cincinnati between tho ages of six and twenty-one is classed as an illiterate by tlio senator unless counted in tho school enrollment Many children are not sent to school until they rca-.-h the age of seven or eight, a fact showing another leak in tho sena tor's figures. Many children leave school aftei finishing tho district or intermediate courso. They are not illiterate by a good deal. Mr. l'easlce states the facts in the casoclearlv when he remarks: "The actual number of childrer over ten yeara of age, bom aud brought up iu our northern cities, who never attended school at all, and who are mentally and physically able to do so, is but a small percentage of tho youth of school ago; certainly not many of this class can be found in Cincinnati. Tho number who canuot read and wr.to is still less. The Tramp aud the Ios. Detroit Freo Press. A big, lonesome-looking dog sat at a gate of a house on Cass aveiti'i yesterday, eyes full of tears and hia whole body shaking with cold A tramp, who had neither overcoat nor mittens, and whose bare toes peeped through his boots, waa making his way up the street in search of the right kind of a side entrance, whon he es pied the dog and croused over and said: "Well, now, this ia an unexpected pleasure! Upon my soul, but I have found one living thing in this town aa p.orly off aa myself. Say old fellow, whore d. you hang out?" Tho dog looked at him through his tears, but had nothing to say. "Tough, isn't it?" continued the man. "I look old and seedy, and you are the homliest dog I ever saw. That strikes a fraternal chord and we meet on a level. I haven't had a square meal for a week, and you haven t seen a bo:ie for ten days. Even again, eh?" I ho dog shivered and whined, and got in and sat down, and tho tramp drew closer and said: "No home, eh? Neitner have L No one to whistle for you? Same here. That's even again. 1 can warm up my shakes with whisky, wdiilo you have to grin aud bear it. That's where'l've got tho doadwood on you. I can talk through my nose and tell fifty different pitiful stor;e3 to excite sympathy and bring out cold vituals, whilo you have nothing to say for yourself and must iako bones or go hungry. That's another for me. On the whole I in ahead of you, and although you are only a dog I'm glad ou it It's something to feel that you are a peg higher than an old yaller dog, home less, hungry cur. So long, old fellow. " Aa the tramp started to go the dog reached out and snapped hia leg and then took a run for it. "Sav. there, hold on!" called out the man as ho wheeled around. "I said I was ahead, but I'll take it back! You cau lnnch on my legs, while I'll seo this counrry tetotally busted to Now Jersey if I don't die of starvation before I come down to eating dog! Even, old fellow just about even on the average, and no use of any hard feelings over it!" Ganibcttaat the Writing Desk. Gambetta wrote his articles for hia journal, La Republique Francaiae, under the influence of strong black coffee, which after a while he replaced with a bottle of good burgundy. He was not regarded as a good newspaper writer. His articles read like so many written speeches and were turbid and of inordinate length. They were never dashed off, but rather jerked off. and he is described as swaying tho upper part of his body ponderously to and fro as he wroa and now and then collecting his thoughts by Fiassiug hia large left hand through his hair, le wrote a vory stiff hand, and though hia fingers moved fast tiieir moiion waa feveriah and spasmodical. ood-IEy.
