One hundred dollars Reward. --Ranaway, on Wednesday evening last, from the residence of Mrs. Hups, on 3d, near Canal street, servant woman Maria and her son, a likely mulatto boy of 6 or 7 years old. Maria is about 35 or 36 years of age, of a ginger bread color, medium size, rather an intelligent, sprightly countenance, but passionate, and talks rather roughly when excited. Her son is a pretty bright mulatto, I think, a little cross eyed. Maria took with her all her clothes and several pieces belonging to Mrs. Epps. From this fact, and some threats made by her it is likely she is endeavoring to make her way to the enemy, down towards King William county. She is from Carolina county, and may be going up to that section.

he city is that brought by the trains over the Fredericksburg road which arrived last night, for the first time for nearly a week past. They report that they could hear nothing of the Yankees, either at Hanover Junction or South Anna bridge, and that the roads — the Central and Fredericksburg — are now unobstructed. From the Junction the Central train brought down a man who represents himself as a deserter from Dix's army. He says that the enemy are still in considerable force in King William Co., where he left them, and that they are committing many depredations. In order to avoid arrest, he traded his Yankee uniform to a negro for a cornfield suit, with which he made his way through the Yankee lines. He says that Dix's whole force has not at any time exceeded fifteen thousand, about ten thousand of which were infantry, and the remainder artillery and cavalry. The Fredericksburg train brought down 17 Yankee prisoners, captured in the neighborhood of South Anna bridge on S

ys ago that the "circumlocution" regained to procure a furlough and transportation ticket was sufficient to discourage a soldier; but now, in accordance with a request of the Inspector of Hospitals, the Surgeons' certificates are sent to him by private hand, and the necessary documents promptly returned in the same manner, thus relieving the wounded men of much trouble and vexation. Yankees attacked by farmers. We learn that six Yankee troopers appeared at Walkerton Ferry, in King William county, on Tuesday, and after awaiting to assure themselves of the absence of any armed Confederates, proceeded to take the various liberties common to such persons when no hindrance is interposed. As soon as their presence became known, the patriotic farmers in the vicinity assembled with their shot guns and other weapons of defence and made an attack on the marauders, who, soon after receiving the visitation, decamped in great basic, leaving one of their comrades, who was too badly hurt t

Organizing. --The citizens of Henrico county have enrolled themselves for cavalry service under Col. McRae, and will be ready for the field in a very short time. If our people intend to offer any resistance to Yankee raiders they must organize mounted forces, select cool, courageous leaders, and be always prepared to take the field at a moment's notice. Henrico, Hanover, Charles City, New Kent, and King William counties, can each furnish a battalion or company of mounted men from the second class militia, and if they will do so promptly the Yankee cavalry will in the future find their raids in that section very disastrous.

Desperate Jump. --On Tuesday afternoon last, as the York River train was running at full speed to this city, a conscript from King William county, who was on his way to Camp Lee in charge of an armed guard, jumped from the platform of the car on which he was standing, apparently escaping unhurt, although he finished off his experiment with some not very graceful tumbling down the embankment of the road. The guard, though appearing much perplexed at losing his man, concluded not to follow his example; and after watching him till he was out of his sight, quietly ordered the car and seated himself, doubtless concluding to make the best he could of his ill luck.
