Another Exploit of John Morgan.
--A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal, April 31, vouches for the truth of the following:
The heroic young Kentuckian is as full of stratagem as he is of daring.
He disguised himself as a countryman and took a wagon load of meal to Nashville the other day. Driving straight to the St. Cl for the one hundred and fifty Federal soldiers to meet their trusty guide.
McCook's detachment of 150 men kept the appointment faithfully, and, of course Capt. Morgan, no longer disguised, was there to meet them; but, unfortunately for them, he was not alone — he had a sufficient number of well-armed horsemen to capture the en. McCook with the compliments of his meal-selling acquaintance, who had the pleasure of meeting him at the St. Cloud a few days before.
Hurrah for the gallant and heroic Morgan --the dauntless and sagacious partisan, whose fame is rapidly rounding into proportions which promise to overshadow all the "Marious" of the war.
