The Louisville Daily Journal

Our Louisville rebels chuckled prodigiously yesterday over the success of Morgan's raid. Nothing better was to be expected of them. But, if such raids be repeated, they themselves may suffer the penalty. Many of them are not ignorant of John Morgan's plans. Spies, there is reason to believe, are coming here from him, and going from here to him continually. And all the rebels along the lines of the railroads where he has committed his depredations have been and are giving him aid and comfort. Now, if he confines himself to legitimate warfare, it will be enough for our soldiers to kill or capture him and his men wherever they can; but, if he commits robbery or murder, if he violates the rights of persons and property as recognized by civilized belligerents, we believe that Gen. Halleck will promptly ordain that the secession-chucklers, the open and notorious rebel sympathizers, stop the whole lines of the roads where his outrages may be committed, shall be held strictly and immediately responsible. We have reason to suppose that steps have been taken to bring this matter to General Halleck's attention.
