Governor O. P. MORTON,
Indianapolis, Ind.
Your dispatch to General Burbridge received. Hobson telegraphs
me that Burbridge was at Pound Gap the 5tlh, and that Morgan is in
the State with 2,500 mounted men. What is supl)posed to be his advance,
numbering 400 men, have captured Mount Sterling and Paris, Ky.
Last night they encamped at Pine Grove, eleven liles froni Lexington.
This city and the Nashville railroad are about defenseless. Troops
are much needed. There is now a full battery here our on the road.
General Ewing is here; Burbridge is sulposed in Morgian's rear. I
am organizing the conlvalescents, and have detained the Ninith Penn-
sylvania Cavalry (dismounted). We have above 8,000 sick and wounded
soldiers from General Sherman's army in our hospitals.

Brigadier-General IHonsoN,
Corington, Ky. :
Four hundred rebels eciial)ed at Pine Grove, eleven miles from
Lexington last night. Ruinor1' increases Morgan's force to 6,000, and
says he has captured Lexington. This is not reliable;. I doubt it.
General Ewing is here.
