The latest accounts of Morgan are to tlie effect tliat he was proceeding to South. Australia. The Pastoral T'mes says : — " This villain waß within forty or fifty miles of Deniliquin on Thursday. He was camping outside of Coree fence, M'Kinnon and Lydiard's, on the BiT.abong. He entered one of the huts and tried to get tobacco from the woman in the hut. She, unable to comply, was roughly handled, it is reported. He had with him a man with two or three fingers cut ofl", supgosed to be known in Victoria as three-fingered Jack, or some such name. Morgan had his horse hobbled fore and aft, and kept him saddled. We are assured of this on good authority. The murderer is apparently making towards the Adelaide border. We decline to give the police movemente for reasons that must be obvious." A Critical Position for a Camp. — One morning, upon striking their tents, it was discovered that they had unwittingly been pitched on the frozen surface of a lake, and. that, if they had remained there much longer, the ice, which was very far from being strong, would have given way, so that Ihe whole army must have been engulphed. It was also discovered that among the tents were large holes, which appeared to have been cut by the inhabitants of the neighboring country for the purpose of drawing water, and which had escaped observation in the fatigue and labor of the preceeding evening. The discovery of the danger in. which they had passed the night "was made amid loud shouts of laughter from every one in the camp, from the khan himself down to the lowest hsrse-boy. Nor was this merriment disturbed by the appearance of some desperate Turkish soldiers, who, unable longer to bear the fatigues of this march, threw themselves into the holes in the ice to end their wretched existence. This took place under the eyes of the khan, who watched them with the greatest composure, and desired that no force should be used to prevent them. — Life of Krini G-irai, hhan of the Crimea. The Wat they Fight in America. — Colonel Perkins's battery was in advance, and the colonel himself some quarter of a mile in the lead of his men, when, upon making a turn in the road, he came suddenly upon two mounted officers. Military salutes were passed, hands were shaken all round, and the strangers asked Colonel P. what company he belonged to, and when he had got in. The colonel replied that he belonged to Company Cs and had just arrived. One of the stranger, observed, reflectively, •' Company C — Company C !" and just then the first piece of the battery showed itself round the turn, when he exclaimed, " Artillery, by Jove," and fled for his life with his companion. Colonel P. immediately shouted to his men, " Now, boys, come on, we've got 'em." In less than a minute the battery was in operation, and blazing away right and left, while the rebels could be seen in all directions trying to form their men. — Letter from Virginia.
