reminded the beholder of an illumination for some tive occasion. Our informant could tell very little of what occurred afterward, except in regard to the part sustained by the battery to which he belongs. "Long Tom" fired fifteen rounds, some of which he felt confident took effect upon the enemy's fleet. The crashing of timber was heard distinctly amid the roar of cannon, yet the darkness of the night rendered it impossible to make any observations. The casualties in Dabney's company were three--W. F. Dalton, killed; Thomas Farquhar and Patrick Graham, wounded. In Page's battery, H. Thacker and John Brooks, of Hanover, were severely injured by the premature explosion of a gun, and four others slightly wounded. If any further casualties occurred along our extended line, they have not yet been reported. The orders were, as we are informed, to fire a certain number of rounds at the enemy, and when this was accomplished our force quietly withdrew, and the engagement terminated.

Runaway--$100 reward. --Ran away, from Thomas D. Neal. Esq., Danville, Va., my negro man, Morris. He is a very light mulatto, (almost white,) weighs about 150 pounds, is about five feet eight or nine inches high, and about 20 or 21 years old; has lived in Richmond three or four years. He is in all probability in Caroline county, near Hanover Court House, and I expect forged papers.
