$100 reward. --Ranaway on the 26th of August, two Negro Men, named John and Charles. John is 24 years old; black, has a full head of hair, is 6 feet 1 inch high; will weigh about 200 pounds; had on when he left a soft black hat, drab coat and blue cotton pants. Charles, his brother, is 20 years old; black; has a full head of hair; is 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high; weighs about 165 or 170 lbs. He also had on a soft black hat, drag coat and blue pants. I purchased them of W. C. Vanmeter, who lives near Moorefield, Virginia. I think it likely they will try and get back to that place. They came to Richmond by retread from Strasburg. I will give the above reward for them, or Fifty Dollars for either, delivered to Hector Davis, in Richmond. au 28--2w* John D. Ragland.

From Lynchburg.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Lynchburg, Va., Aug. 26. We are in a state of suspense and anxiously awaiting to see what turn events will next take. A rumor prevailed on Saturday of a skirmish, which turned out to be unfounded. It, however, served to furnish a topic of conversation, as we did not get the Richmond papers on that day in consequence of the failure of cars on the Danville Railroad to connect with those on the South- Side. This, as a matter of course, was not the fault of the mail arrangements. But that there is a "screw loose" in this department somewhere between this city and Richmond, is evidenced by the fact that the large package of Dispatches sent to your agent in this city frequently fails to come to hand in time, and sometimes falls altogether, as was the case on the 15th inst., and up to this writing the package of Saturday last has not made its appearance. The Department has been appealed to for a redress of such grievances
