"In. 1848 her husband owned a

parior norses were not disturbed. Some
of our neighbors drove thetr hnnu.
cattle and sheep 30 miles into the In
terior and were away from home a
week. Morgan's men looted right and
left, aud some of them had bolt of

they were captured. -
"Morgan, n must be remembered,
made his whole raid with artillery and
a wagon train, but he was not in Ohio
to fight and he demonstrated at once
the ease with which a peaceful district
may Jx invaded by a mobile column
and at the same time the peril Involv
ed in such a venture. In a fexr !
50,000 militiamen were in the field
against him. At first be played with
these green soldiers, but at last they
hung on ils flanks, eager for light as
bulldogs. In the last days Hobson's
men, who had followed Morgan for
hundreds of miles through three states,
closed in on their old enemies with a
gleefulness that exceeded anything of
the kind I ever saw in the army, and
Judah's men, closing In on the other
side, settled the fate of the raiders.
"Morgan's men knew by the maneu
vering and the 'firing when they were
faced by trained soldiers, and the first
charge of the Union cavalnr had In it
the Impetus of delayed vengeance. The
unionists who rode In that charge had
old scores to settle, and Morgan's tired
veterans were overwhelmed. After
Morgan had escaped from the peniten
tiary at Columbus and had reorganized
Jiis command and was again raiding
uentucay hundreds of Union soldiers
on their way home for dlachartro left
their trains and. Joined in the pursuit
simply to get a crack at the old raider,
and Morgan knew when their rifles
spoke that he waa up against the real
thing." -
