[for the Richmond Dispatch.] John Taliaferro, Esq., the Volunteer here citizen of Orange. The subject of this well deserved eulogy is between 55 and 60 years of age; always noted for social qualities, an active, vigorous mind, a high sense of honor, an unswerving patriotism, great physical power and activity, and a courage unsurpassed, if equalled. A day or two before the great battle of the 21st ultimo, Mr. Taliaferro was admitted within the lines of General Beauregard. On that ever memsuch conspicuous, gallant action in a trying hour? The fire that burns so brightly and openly in such a bosom on such momentous occasions spreads its glare all around, and thousands feeling the inspiring flame dash with dauntless hearts against the foe and seize the chaplet of victory from the enemy's rigid grasp Long live the hero citizen of Orange, to receive the gratitude of his numerous friends and all true patriots, for his matchless gallantry on the fields of Manassas.

$100 reward --For the delivery to me of my Carriage Driver, Beverly. He is twenty-seven years old; color, black; six feet high; face covered with short beard, and moustache; large eye brows and curling eye-lashes. He probably travels in a dark grey mixed summer coat, or blue cloth with brass buttons, and carpet-bag. He says he has read Shakespeare, and may travel with a forged pass, and shave off his beard when he reads this. He has relatives at Dr. R. H. Stewart's, in King George, and at Mrs. Dr. Frank Taliaferro's, in Orange, with whom he has been recently corresponding by letter. His object being evidently to escape, he is doubtless lurking about the shore of the Potomac, or making his way Northward, and may be about our encampments. The above reward will be paid if caught over fifty miles from Fredericksburg; otherwise. $50. A. N. Bernard. [au 2--2w*]
