MAYSVILLE, September 30, 1862.

Major General HORATIO G. WRIGHT, Cincinnati, Ohio:

GENERAL: Since my dispatch last night by Mr. Bierbower I have just received into my lines one of our General Morgan's men (Victor Goldsmith), private in the Twenty-second Kentucky, captured, with two others, on Friday, the 26th instant, between Hazle Green and West Liberty, in Morgan County, Ky., by rebel General John Morgan. Four soldiers (including Victor) were in the rear of our General Morgan's army, driving 80 head of cattle, and the rebels ambushed them; killed one and captured the other three. Victor says General George Morgan left Cumberland Gap on the 18th instant with all his army except the sick, 12,000 men and thirty-odd pieces, and marched through Manchester, Proctor, Campton, and Hazle Green on West Liberty; thence aiming through Grayson to Portsmounth. General Morgan left Hazle Green Friday morning, and Victor was captured same day on the march to West Liberty, beween 4 and 5 o'clock p.m. Distance to West Liberty from Hazle Green 15 miles. Morgan was not attacked on the route, and is no doubt now near Portsmounth, unless cut off since Friday. He marches 20 miles a day. We learned night before last that 5,000 men had been sent through the mountains from Mount Sterling by Kirby Smith to intercept his march, and were ordered if they could not do so to turn around on Maysville. We hear of the enemy's cavalry, reported at 600, marching for May's Lick from Flemingsburg this morning.

I have the honor to be, &c.,

H. B. WILSON,

Lieutenant-Colonel Forty-fourth Ohio, Commanding Post.
