SALINEVILLE, OHIO, July 26, 1863.

SIR: I have the honor to give you the following report:

I carried out your order to the letter last night-fed my horses at Knoxville. General Shackelford came up; agreed go with him provided he would give me the advance to intercept Morgan, who was moving north. i joined General Shackelford at Hammondsville at 7 a. m. We learned that Morgan was going in the direction of Salineville. His forces were turned here this morning, and then took a northeastern direction, making toward Smith's Ferry. I was ordered forward by General Shackelford to intercept him, leading down the North Fork of Little Beaver, where I captured him about 8 miles east of Salineville and 4 miles south of New Lisbon, at about 2 o'clock this p. m.; took him with the force I left Gallagher with, no other forces nearer than 2 miles. I demanded an unconditional surrender, and held him until General Shackelford came up, which was thirty minutes after Morgan's surrender, with 336 prisoners, including officers, and 400 horses.

G. W. RUE,

Major Ninth Kentucky Cavalry.
