an who accompanied Gen. Morgan's command on its recent expedition to Kentucky. The object of this movement, it appears, was to prevent a raid of the enemy, under Hobson, upon the salt works and lead mines in Southwestern Virginia, and proved a complete success. On the 7th of June Morgan's command engaged the enemy, seven hundredn and jaded animals. Advancing then upon Cynthiana, the enemy took refuge in the houses, and a portion of the town was burnt. On the afternoon of the same day Gen. Hobson came up from Cincinnati with twelve hundred reinforcements. These men were surrounded, and surrendered without unnecessary delay. The next morning Morgan's command commenced the return to Virginia, and safely brought off the ambulance train with the wounded. From papers found upon the Yankee General Hobson it was ascertained that he was about to advance upon the salt works and lead mines in Virginia, and it will thus be seen that Gen Morgan's expedition was a timely movement.

The War News. From an official dispatch received at the War Department yesterday morning it appears that the Confederate force which threatened Washington on Tuesday last, recrossed the Potomac on the 14th, bringing off everything safely and in good order. The dispatch further states that our loss during the invasion of Maryland was slight. The results of the expedition may be summed up as follows: A terrible fright of the Lincolnites, who for some days considered their capital in danger; and indeed the Washington Chronicle admit that there were periods between Saturday night and Monday morning when the rebels might have dashed into Washington and effected its capture, if not its occupation; the capture of a large number of cattle, horses, and a considerable amount of other property, the destruction of railroads and bridge's, and the withdrawals a portion of Grant's army from the front of Petersburg.

The report of the death of Grant seems to have originated as follows: A Yankee picket on the extreme right hailed our men and remarked, with an oath, "Well, I suppose you are satisfied, now you have killed Gen. Grant." On another part of the line a picket said there was good news for the rebels from a certain locality, but woul not specify what it was. And at still another point a picket volunteered the information that Gen. Grant had been wounded in the arm by one of our mortar shells, and died from the effects of amputati

We had an interview yesterday with a gentleman who accompanied Gen. Morgan's command on its recent expedition to Kentucky. The object of this movement, it appears, was to prevent a raid of the enemy, under Hobson, upon the salt works and lead mines in Southwestern Virginia, and proved a complete success. On the 7th of June Morgan's command engaged the enemy, seven hundred strong, at Pound Gap, and routed them, pursuing them twenty miles and causing them to destroy their stores. They next made a dash on Mount Sterling, and captured four hundred of the enemy and large supplies of military and medical stores. Three nights afterward they captured Lexington, where they succeeded in obtaining fifteen hundred horses, a sufficient number to mount the entire command and supply the places of broken down and jaded a
