working building round turrets to set ; they are made some fifty feet in diameter; with hand-bags. They seemed to have no fear, and worned like beave to carrying up the sand-bags from the rent; the bags are white, and the turrets will, when done, make a splendid target — no attempt was made upon on the part to prevent them from proceeding with their operations, although they were continually firing their cannon on both sides of the work. Yesterday three large schooners came down the York river, loaded with flour, which was unloaded at the Yorktown wharf. The wharf was crowded with teams all day hauling it away. The rebels are bushy engaged in constructing a wharf about a quarter of a mile below the present one, on the Gloucester . What it can be for is a mystery. A continuous line of force and calls can be seen hauling dirt down from one of their forts, and banking it out in the river, while a few boats are lying on the opposite side with some logs.

$20 reward. --Ranaway, from John Quaries's brickyard, in the city of Richmond, where he was hired for the present year, on or about the 15th of April, a negro boy named Humphrey. He is about 20 years old, well built, quite dark and full featured, with a small scar on one of his cheeks; no other scar or mark recollected. He generally looks down when spoken to. The last time he was seen he was on the York River cars, supposed to be on his way to Yorktown or some other place on the peninsula. He may have passed himself off as a free negro and hired himself to some company, as a good many soldiers were on the cars the day he was seen on them. The above reward will be paid if delivered to Miles C. Eggleston, in the city of Richmond, or to me, in the county of Hanover, near Old Church Post-Office. my 9--5t* Wm. Parsley.
