I shall have some material facts to lay before you touching Morgan's surrender to Captain Burbick. Keep the matter open until I arrive.

DAVID TOD,

Governor.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, July 28, 1863.

Honorable E. M. STANTON:

I visit General Burnside to-night to settle the question that Morgan raises as to his surrender. From what I can learn of the matter, it is all gammon on Morgan's part. Allow me to call your attention to a proclamation I send you by mail.

DAVID TOD,

Governor of Ohio.

Gov. DAVID TOD (care General Burnside):

Copy of telegrams just received:

SALINEVILLE, July 28, 1863.

I forwarded by special messenger statement of Burbick and Maus than can be relieved on. Burbick was not captain of any militia or volunteer force, on Sunday, as captain of 15 or 20 mounted Home Guards at time of surrender. Major Rue was there, and also General Shackelford. Burbick was acting as pilot for Morgan; his object to keep him from New Lisbon. Maus was a pioneer these two were they only Union men with Morgan. The surrender took place 4 miles from Gavers, and when surrounded by Union forces. Wait before acting for special messenger.
