The latter says the Associated Press dispatch re sponded in these words : "President Hawley : I have never jot worked at a task worth doing that I did not find myself working shoulder to shoulder with some son of Yale. I have never yet been in a strug gle for righ eousness and de cency that there were not men of Yale to aid me and give me strength and courage. As we w.ilked hither I his morning, we passed by a gateway which "was raised to the memory of a young Yale lad who was hurt to death beside mo as a great many others like us marched against the gun fire from ihe heights, and with those memories quick in my mind I thank you from my heart for the honor you have done me, and I thank you double for that you planned to do me that honor while I was yet a private citi zen."

He fled and, although a vigilant search has been made for him, he has not yet been apprehended. Salis bury Sun. Would Like ilim fur Enemies Made.

By a Participant Known as "Prodigal " I, one of Morgan's men, write not officially, but from memory of the great raid made by Gen. John H Morgan through Ken- lucky, Indiana and Ohio in the very heart of the enemy's country. About the first of July 18C2 or 803 (I am not positive) we left Monticella, Ky., with four or five thousand men, and four howitzers (small cannon). This was the largest force Morgan ever had. On the 4th of July we came to a stockade on Green River with a -'orce of about 200 "yank's" in side, whose duty it was to guard the railroad bridge and keep the "reos" iron burning it. Colo nel W C P Breckenridge (to whose regiment I belonged) sent a flag of truce to the stockade with a demand for its surrender. From some cause all the Commissioned officers were absent, and an Orderly sergeant was in com mand who replied, "Tell vour officer this is the 4th of July and we want to burn a little powder anyhow, and if he wants the stockade come and take it." Major Harry Brent, of Paris, Ky., seized a flag and said, "Boys that yankee is right, this is the glorious 4th, come on". He with several companies following him started. The "yank's" saw and waited until they got in a very short distance of the stockade when they poured a deadly fire cf musket balls full in the faces of those brave Kentuckians. Major Brent, wilh about sixty others, were instantly killed, be fore they could obey the com mand of the bugle sound which recalled them. We learned later that the Ser geant who commanded the stock ade was promoted to a lieuten ancy for his bravery. The country was full of small squads of "yank's" who fired on us as we rode along. Sometimes the whole command would stop and tight. Generally though a shell or two from our howitzers and a charge of a few companies would scatter them. Our first halt of mportame was at Brandonburg, Ky., I think, about tho 6th or th of July, though we were al- vi ays going. Brandonburg was a small town on the Ohio River where we in tended, and did cross, after cap turing two small steam boats that were sent to intercept us The boats were ordinary passenger and freight boats. The "yank's" concealed themselves behind cot ton bales that were placed on tho decks for that purpose. Each boat had one or more small can nons besides, of course muskets. General Morgan allowed these boats (four probably) to pass us, then he sent a part of command below and above them when we opened fire with the howitzers, which the "yanks' returned. While the artillery fight was go ing on, which lasted an hour or two, the balance of the comniaud wno were not on picket or scout ing, lay down on the ground with our horses bridles in our hands and went to sleep. (Will any of your readers believe this Mr. Editor?) Just here I will say that after we left Monticella, b.y.,we never stopped to go into camp but one night until after we crossed the Ohio River near Blannerhassett Island into Vir ginia from Ohio. We traveled always, night and day. This one exception was alComesville, Indiana, when we captured tne town and burned an immense lot of wagons. "Wake up Prodigal." "Sergeant I am so sleepy. If you will let me sleep an hour longer I will stay on picket for a week." "No picket now; we have captured the 'yank's' with tho boats they sent to capture us, and we are going to cross the Ohio River into Indiana." We did, too. After getting across we paroled the prisoners and burn ed the boats, cotton and all. One company each day acted us advance guards and scouts, A similar arrangement was made iu the rear. The day we crossed into Indiana I was wilh the com pany in front. After we had left tho River milo or so behind wo met a com pany of home guards armed with shot guns. One fellow rode ahead of the rest and asked if "we had seen or heard anything of Morgan?" Our reply was a yell and a volley from our pis tols. How scared they were, and what fun it was to see them run. They were so "green" we got a lot of them with their fat grass fed horses which we rode down in .an hour or two and ex changed for others, leaving our tirod ones instead. Many small towns through which we passed were entirely , deserted. The i-r ...... home guard whom we captured looked on us as devils, and seemed disappointed in not find ing horns, hoofs and tails when they gazed at us. Private houses and stores were lelt just as they wore when we rode up to them. Tho stores wore well stocked with all kind of goods. I regret to say that many of these goods were want only destroyed. Some of tho men would take things froui the shelves and throw them into the streets. Some one thing and some another. If one wanted an article he could find it in tho street and many carried packs before and behind their' saddles filled with things they wished to take back to Dixie, which hopes were, Mr. Editor, like many of yours and mine before and since then, never realized. Riding on forever, day and night, riding and fighting, always moving, always changing places, always changing horses, it seemed. We slept on our horses as we rode along. Our hats falling off at night and others picked up in the morning. About dark one night say the 12th or 13th of July the whole command was halted in the road and in a few, moments four-fifths of the tired men, I venture to say, were sound asleep on their horses. Presently a company was sent off, then another and still another. Then our time came when we were ordered "forward trot", the charge. No sleep then, every man wide awake. In a few moments we found ourselves driving in the pickets on one of the roads lead ing into a city. When askel the name of U we were told "Cincin nati, Ohio."
