Runaway from the Medical College. June 23d a bright Mulatto Boy named Frank He is about 12 years of age, stoops slightly, and walks awkwardly.--When last heard from he was on the Central Railroad track, saying that he was going to Tennessee. All persons are hereby warned against harboring him. The usual reward will be paid for his delivery to A. E. Peticolas. Richmond Va. June 24 1861 je 25--ts
A gun fired by the enemy's shot. --Capt. Casper W. Hunt, of the Walker (Tennessee) Legion, present at the attacks on the batteries at Aquia Creek, a few weeks ago, narrates the following as one of the hundred hair-breadth escapes of the Confederate forces on that occasion: "One man was lying sick in a house near battery No. 1 when the firing commenced; he seized his musket and ran out of doors with it in his hand; at that moment a shell exploded over his head, and a fragment of the shell striking the hammer of his gun, fired it off, not injuring him in the least."--Fred Herald.
Tennessee. A citizen of Polk county, Tennessee, communicates, through the columns of the Dispatch, some interesting neighborhood news to the volunteers from that county, selecting this medium because the officials of the Lincoln Post Office (not yet abated as a nuisance in the county) send all letters addressed to the soldiers of the Confederate army to the dead-letter office, at Washington.

Wheat noble women they are! Can they ever be other than the wives and the mothers of freemen? No — never!
force their stationed in such condition as to render it impregnable and the approach to Mobile impracticable. It was not wise to retain him any longer in this position, when his services were so desirable in the field. The order which sends him to take charge of our defences on the Mississippi is therefore an eminently judicious one. He will prove more than a match for the talented but presumptuous McClelland; and with the aid of the energetic and enthusiastic Pillow at the head of our Tennessee soldiers, will soon place that portion of our Confederacy in a position to repel any assault. We learn also that that gallant and able commander, "Captain," now Colonel Henry Maury, has been relieved from duty as second in command under Col. Hardee, at Fort Morgan, and will proceed with his regiment, the First Alabama, to the scene of war in Virginia. There, on his native soil, this gallant officer will display those high military qualities for which he has been so greatly esteemed
