Governor MORTON, Indianapolis:
Am much obliged for your dispatch. The force I have now in pursuit, I think, will be sufficient, and General Hascall has arrived with his command, so I do not think I shall need the two regiments from Lawrenceburg.

General WHITE, Catlettsburg:
Morgan made a raid into Indiana and Ohio, and is making for the Ohio River, near Ripley. He may be kept from crossing by the gunboats, and he may go above to cross. I will keep you posted. Look out for him. General Hobson is but 10 miles in his rear with a large cavalry force. They both camped in Clermont Country, Ohio, last night. We hope to catch. him.
