Twenty miles above Buffington Morgan struck the river again. got three hundred of his command across, when the approaching gunboats checked the passage. Returning to the nine hundred still on the Ohio side, he once more renewed the hurried flight. His men were worn down ad exhausted by long continued and enormous work; they were demorilized by pillage, discouraged by the shattering of their command, weakened most of all by their loss of faith in themselves and their commander, surrounded by a multitude of foes, harrassed on every hand, intercepted at every loophole of escape, hunted like game night and day, driven hither and thither in their vain efforts to double on their remnents of his command at Buffington. When failed in the attempt crossing above, he headed for the Muskingum. Foiled here by the malitia under Runkle, he doubled on his track and turned toward Blennerhassett Island. The clouds of dust that marked his track betrayed the movement, and on three sides the pursurers closed in on him. While they slept in peaceful expectation of receiving his surrender in the morning, he stole out along a hillside that had been thought impassable, his men walking in single file and leading their horses, and by midnight he was once more out of toils, marching hard to out strip his pursuers. At last he found an unguarded crossing of the Muskingum, at Eaglesport, above McConnellsville, and then with an open country before hin struck out once more for the Ohio. This time Governor Tod's sagacity was vindicated. He urged the shipment of troops by rail to Bellaire, near Wheeling, and by great good fortune, Major Way. of the Ninth Michigan Cavalry, received the orders. Presently this officer was on the scent. " Morgan is making for Hammondsville." he telegraphed General Burnside on the 25th, " and will attempt to cross the Ohio river at Wellsville. I have my section of battery and will follow him closely." He kept his word and gave the finishing stroke. " Morgan was attacked with the remnant of his command at eight o'clock in the morning." announced General Burnside on the next day," at Salineville, by Major Way, who after a severe fight routed the enemy, killed about thirty, wounded some fifty, and took some two hundred prisoners." Six hours later the long race ended; " I captured John Morgan today at two o'clock P.M..," telegraphed Major Rue, of the Ninth Kentucky Cavalry, on the evening of the 26th, " taking three hundred and thirty six prisoners, four hundred horses and arms." Morgan and his men were confined in the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus; on the night of November 27, he with six others escaped by cutting through the stone floor of his cell ( with knifes from the prison table) until they reached an air-chamber below, from which they tunneled through the walls of the prison and by means of ropes made from their bed clothes scaled the outer wall; hastening to the depot they boarded a train on the Little Miami railroad for Cincinnati, and when near that city they jumped from the train, made their way to the Ohio River, which they crossed and were soon within the Confederate lines. A year later Morgan was killed while on a raid in an obscure little village in East Tennessee. +++++++++++++++ A letter to H.H. Ford Esq. [The following letter was written a few days after Morgan had passed through Butler County. It was witten by Mr. C.F. Warren, a merchant of Cincinnati to his friend H.H. Ford, Esq., of Burton, Geauga county, and dated Jones Station, July 19th. ] " I returned last night after an absence of two weeks, during which time Morgan's forces passed through, creating great consternation throughout the country; they came within a mile and a half of us at the nearest point, and at Springdale, the little village just below us, they called up our butcher, Mr. Watson, at one o'clock at night, and bade him get some breakfast. He began to make excuses, among others no fire; Morgan suggested that it would be better for Watson to make the fire than for him to do it, as it might be inconvenient to put his fire out, so Watson took the hint and got their breakfast. After it was ready and the coffee on the table, Mrs.Watson was called to take a cup of it first, and none touched it until they were satisfied that she had not poisoned it. They took horses from every man along the road, but did not take other property except forage for their horses and food for temselves. Mr. Jones ( a neighbor ), Ned ( my brother ), and Newton ( the hired man ) were out scouting before and after they passed, and took one prisoner in the graveyard at Springdale and sent him to the city. As soon as he found he was covered by their rifles he began crying and begging not to be shot. Morgan's men were very much fatigued, getting to sleep in their saddles and falling to the ground without waking. After they passed, Ned and a neighbor's boy, a younger than he, and the darky conclued to follow them a while and on their return met Hobson's cavalry just out of Glendale. As soon as they saw them, Ned and the boy wheeled their horses into a cross road and called to the darky to follow; at the same time the cavalry were close to Newton and called on him to stop-- they wanted his horse-- and also that of the boy. Ned was on an old black and had on spurs, and he put the horse to the top of his speed; he had to go round a half square; two of the cavalry broke through the fence with their horses and thought to head them, but old black was too sharp for them, and when they saw they could not catch them, they both discharged their pieces, the balls striking in a patoto patch near them; by this time they they had reached the Princeton pike, where they encountered two more and had another race and two more shots after them, but the worn-out and jaded horses were no match for the fresh ones the boys rode, and the latter " made port with flying colors." Newton in the meantime was caught and compelled to swap my bay mare Kate for a three-year-old filly, shoeless, footsore and unbroken to harness, -------- Nearly all the neighbors kept patrol around their premises, so there could be an immediate alarm given, and the scouts were going and coming to our station to telegraph Gen. Burnside. There are any amount of incidents connected with the passage of Morgan's troopers through the county that are interesting, as showing their contempt for Vallandigham copperheads; one old copper lost three horses and thought to get them back, if they only knew what he was. So he harnessed up the poorest horse he could get that wold travel fast enough to catch them, and went after them, overtook the rear guard and told them he wanted to see the officer in command. The colonel came back and the old doctor began to say " that he was for Vallandigham, and opposed the war," etc. The Colonel bade him drive up into the middle of the regiment, and as they could not be delayed they would listen to his complaints as they went along. Very soon word came to the Colonel that two soldiers had given out entirely, and the Colonel said to our doctor and his fellow copperhead " that he should be under the necessity of using his wagon for the soldiers." The doctor protested vehemently," could not ride on horse back at all." The Colonel hinted that he need not trouble himself about that, as he intended him to walk. After trudging along until his feet were blistered he began to complain again, that his boot hurt him so that he could not walk, and begged for his wagon again; but the Colonel had a more convenient way of relieving him, and ordered a couple of soldiers to pull off his boots, which they did, and he went on stocking feet until they camped; his partner driving the wagon had not said anything about his politics all this time. After they had camped the doctor thought his troubles were over; but not so. They compelled him to learn a song and sing it, the chorus being, " I'll bet ten cents in specie, that Morgan'll win the race." This was the sentiment, but not the exact words; now, just imagine an old dignified chap, somewhat corpulent, who never smilled, the oracle of all the democrats in the town in which he lived, singing a song of that kind, set to a lively negro minstrel tune, and a soldier standing over him brandishing a sabre and shouting at the top of his voice, " Go it, old Yank! Louder ! Louder !' etc. --- and you have the picture complete; after all this they were about to depart, when the old officer in command suddenly concluded the horse they were driving was better than some he had, and kindly permitted them to unharness him and put another in his place; they then took what money he had except nine dollars, and brought him three little rats of horses, whose backs were raw from the withers to the rump, gave him three cheers and started him for home. Thus far since his return he has not been heard to cry " Peace " once, or even "Harrah for Vallandigham !" and it is extremely doubtful whether he will. The doctor's companion was a sort of "Hail fellow, well met." and although begged not to tell the story, could not possibly resist it; it was entirely too good to keep." ++++++++++++++++++ The capture of Morgan ocassoned great rejoicing, and Prentice, of the Louisville " Journel," the newpaper wag of that era, alluding to the habitual seizure of horses by Morgan's men, suggested that a salute of one gun be fired before every stable door in the land. One who was present just after the surrender wrote: " Morgan's men were poorly dressed, ragged and dirty and very badly used up. Some of them wore remnants of gray uniforms, but most of them were attired in spoils gathered during the raid. They were much discouraged at the result of the raid and of the affairs generally. Morgan himself, appeared in good spirits and quite unconcerned at his ill luck. He is a well built man, of fresh complexion, sandy hair and beard. His last night enjoyed for the first time in a long while the comforts of a sound sleep in a good bed. Morgan was attired in a linen coat, black pants, white shirt and light felt hat. He has rather a mild face, there being certainly nothing in it to indicate unusual intellectual abilities." Ried says of him: " He left a name second only to those of Forrest and Stuart among the cavalrymen of the Confederacy, and a character, amid which much to be condemned, was not without traces of noble nature." Among the anecdotes told of him during his raid through Ohio is this; A Union soldier, after his surrender, was in the act of breaking his musket across a rock, when one of Morgan's officers drew a revolver, intending to shoot him, when Morgan seeing, at once forbade, and added: " Never harm a man who has surrendered. In breaking his musket, he has done just as I would have done, just as I would were I in his place." +++++++++++++++++ Morgan was a lieutenant of cavalry in the Mexican war. At the opening of the civil war, he was engaged in the manufacture of bagging at Lexington, Kentucky. During the winter of 1862-63, he commanded a cavalry force which greatly annoyed Rosecran's communications. By his raids in Kentucky, he destroyed millions in value of military stores, captured railroad trains and destroyed railroad bridges in rear if the national army, rendering it necessary to garrison every important town in the State. He moved with great celerity, and, taking a telegrah operator with him, he misled his foes and at the same time learned their movements. Morgan was physically a large, powerful man and could endure any amount of bodily exertion, outriding and without sleep almost every other man in his command. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Tid Bits continued in Part 59. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.

Kelly ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Tid Bits - part 59 A Washington County The First Ohio Company Ohio Company of Associates. In 1776 Congress made an appropriation of lands to the officers and soldiers of the Revolutionary army; in 1780 the act was extended. By the terms of these appropriations those who fought or would fight for independance were to receive tracts of land according to their rank; to a major-general 1100 acres; a brigadier General 850; a colonel 500, and so on. Private soldiers and non-commissioned officers were to receive 100 acres each. At the time these appropriations were made the United States did not own an acre of land, and the fulfllment of the obligations incurred was dependant upon the individual States ceding their rights in western lands to the general government in case of conquest. Some of the States, notably Maryland, claimed that these lands belonged to the States in common. Congress never set up this claim, but recognized the title of individual States to the territory fixed by their charters. In 1782 a committee of Congress in its territorial claims against the king of England said; " Under his authority the limits of these States while in the character of colonies were established; to these limits the United States considered as independant sovereignties have succeeded. Whatever territorial rights, therefore, belonged to them before the Revolution were necessarily devolved upon them at the era of independence." The United States, however, eventually gained control of the western lands by cessions from the States, some with and some without reservations. These cessions were made to the general government that new States might be created out of the western territory, and to enable the general government to pay the debts incurred by the Revolutionary war by selling lands to settlers. The theory of making government lands a source of revenue was a new departure, and beginning in 1780 the methods to be adopted in disposing of these lands for several years largely occupied the attention of Congress. Col. Grayson, in a letter dated April 27, 1785, says; " I have been busily engaged in assisting about passing an ordinance for the disposal of the western territory. I think there has been as much said and written about it as would fill forty volumnes, and yet we seem far from a conclusion, so difficult is it to form any system which will suit our complex government, and when the interests of the component parts are supposed to be so different." The principal points in controversy were the New England plan of settlement by government survey into townships, as opposed by the Virginia plan of "indiscriminate locations," and as to the sale of lands in large or small tracts. The prohibition of slavery was also one of the questions involved. Gen. Washington favored the New England plan, and the sale of lands in large tracts; his letters expressing his views on these points had a strong influence toward their final adoption. In September, and again in October, of 1783, different committees had made reports recommending the formation of the western territory into States, but no action was taken by Congress until 1784, when, on March 1st, a committee, of which Mr. Jefferson was chairman, reported a temporary plan of government for the western territory; it had a clause prohibiting slavery after 1800, but this clause was stricken out, various amendments added, and on April 23d it became an ordinance of Congress. It remained inoperative until repealed by the ordinance of 1787. On May 10, 1786, September 19,1786, and April 26,1787, three separate ordinances for the government of the western territory were reported to Congress. On May 10, 1787, a fourth had reached its third reading, when further action was suspended by a proposition from Gen. S.H. Parsons, of Middletown, Conn., as representative of the Ohio Company, to purchase a large tract of land in the Ohio country. The Ohio Company was the outgrowth of an endeavor on the Revolutionary officers to secure the bounty lands due them for service in the war. On June 16, 1783, two hundred and eighty-eight officers, of all except fifty were from New England, had petitioned that their bounty lands be set off in " that tract of country bounded on the north of Lake Erie, east on Pennsylvania, southwest and south on the river Ohio, west on a line beginning at the part of the Ohio which lies twenty-four miles west of the mouth of the river Scioto, thence runing north on a meridian line till it intersects the river Miami which flows into Lake Erie; thence down the middle of that river to the lake." Gen. Rufus Putnam had forwarded this petition to Gen. Washington; accompanied by a letter requesting that it be laid before Congress, stating that it was the intention of the petitioners to become settlers, and speaking of townships, six miles square with reservations for religious and educational purposes. Washington transmitted the petition and General Putman's letter to Congress, together with a communication from himself in which he directed attention to the benifits to the whole country that would result from the settlement proposed and the obligations to the officers and soldiers of the army. Congress failed to take action; and no further effort was made to secure their bounty lands until January, 1786, when Generals Rufus Putman and Bejamin Tupper issued a call to the Revolutionary Officers ( who in 1783 had petitioned Congress ) to send deligates to a meeting to be held in March. Eleven delegates met at the " Bunch of Grapes " tavern in Boston, Mass., and on March 3, 1786, organized the Ohio Company of Associates. General Putnam was made President, and Winthrop Sargent, clerk. The object of the meeting was to raise a fund in Continental certificates for the sole purpose of buying lands and making a settlement in the western territory. In March, 1787, three directors were appointed: Generals Samuel H. Parsons and Rufus Putnam, and Dr. Manasseh Cutler. Major Winthrop Sargent was made secretary, and a meeting held the following August Gen. James M. Varnum, of Rhode Island, was made director and Richard Platt. of New York, elected Treasurer. General Parsons, as agent for the Ohio Company, failed to accomplish any satisfactory results, and he returned to Middletown. Dr. Cutler was then appointed agent, and on July 5, 1787, arrived in New York, Congress then being in session in that city. The following day he delivered to Congress his petition for purchasing lands for the Ohio Company, and proposed terms and conditions of purchase. A new committee, consisting of Messrs. Carrington, Lee, Dane, McKean, and Smith, on July 10, submitted to Dr. Cutler, with leave to make remarks and propose amendments, a copy of an ordinance which had been prepared for the government of the Northwest Territory As the purchase of lands for the Ohio Company was dependent upon the form of government of the territory in which those land lay, Dr.Cutler was deeply interested in this ordinance and proposed several amendments, which with but one exception ( on taxation ) were subsequently adopted as proposed. In the " North American Review " Mr. W.F. Poole, who has given an extended study to the subject, says: " The ordinance of 1787 and the Ohio purchase were parts of one and the same transaction. The only difference was the associates attached to the Ohio Company title. The purchase would not have been made wthout the ordinance and the ordinance could not have been enacted except as an essential condition of the purpose." On July 13, 1787, the ordinance was enacted with but one dissenting vote. No act of an American Congress has received greater praise than this. In his " History of the Constitution " Mr. Brancroft says: " An interlude in Congress was shaping the character and destiny of the United States of America. Sublime and humane and eventful in the history of mankind as was the result, it will not take many words to tell how it was brought about. For a time wisdom and peace and justice dwelt among men, and the great ordinance which could alone give continuance to the Union came in serenity and stilness. Every man that had a share in it seemed to be moved by an invisable hand to do just what was wanted of him; all that was wrongfully undertaken fell by the wayside; whatever was needed for te happy completion of the mighty wrk arrived opportunely, and just at the right moment moved into its place." In 1830 Daniel Webster said of this great " Ordinance of Freedom:" " We are accustomed to praise the law-givers of antiquity; we help to perpetuate the fame of Solon and Lycurgus; but I doubt whether one single law of any lawgiver, ancient or modern, has produced effects of more distinct, marked, and lasting character than the ordinance of 1787. We see its consequence at this moment, and we shall never cease to see them, perhaps, while the Ohio shall flow." Having suceeded by rare diplomacy in uniting the different interests involved so as to secure the enactment of an ordinance, with provisions for education, religion, and prohibition of slavery, Dr. Cutler made a contract for the sale of 1,500,000 acres of land to the Ohio Company. This was signed by Samuel Osgood and Arthur Lee of the Board of Treasury for the United States, and by Manasseh Cutler and Winthrop Sargent for the Ohio Company. The price was $1 per acre, payable in " specie, loan office certificates reduced to specie, or certificates of the liquidated debt of the United States." An allowance not exceeding one-third of a dollar per acre was made for bad lands. Section sixteen was to be reserved for schools; twenty-nine for the support of religion; eight, eleven, and twenty-six to be disposed of by Congress; and two townships for a university. ++++++++++++++++++ Ohio Company Stockholders A.
