And I am obliged to say that Mr. Davis' statements are quite as starling; far, while he declares the eneth than the Hamptons, Prestons and Mannings are to the South. If Mr. Davis and a few of the leaders were to fall in battle there, would be lews was received: [Mr. Russell gives here the dispatch of President Davis to Mrs. Davis, announcing the triumph; also his official reporMrs. Davis, announcing the triumph; also his official report to Adjutant General Cooper at Richmond, the speech of Mr. Memminger in Congress announcing the news, with the resolutions passed by that body on the occasion] He then adds — It will be observed when Mr. Davis telegraphed to his wife he spoke of a dearly bought victory and a che males contest was, as I stated, on the right of the line.

$100 reward. --Ranaway on the 25th 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.

I will give the above reward for them, or fifty Dollars for either, delivered to Hector Davis, to Richmond. au 28--2w* John D. Ragland.
