a single corps. Every member of General Meade's Staff, except one, contributed, the General himself setting the example, and when the order was received from Washington to discontinue the collection, and refund the money, the astonishment of the officers and men was only equalled by their chagrin, nearly every officer of note in the army having been permitted to receive testimonials. The troops were at a loss to account for this unexplained proceeding, until the malignity which prompted the measure was betrayed in the treatment of officers who interested themselves in the movement. Colonel Davis, Assistant Inspector General on the Staff of Gen. Meade, a classmate and intimate friend of General McClellan, who took the subscription list around among the officers at headquarters, has been reduced to the rank of Major and ordered to Santa Fe. Other officers are under the ban, while the troops, mortified and indignant, pocket their contributions and wait for a more convenient season.
One hundred dollars reward. --Left the residence of Mr. Fore, on Clay street, Monday morning, 5th inst, my negro woman Julia, taking with her a male child between three and four years old. Said woman is about 21 years old, black, very stout, long bushy hair, and has naturally a pleasant countenance. She may probably try to make her way back to Lynchburg as she says her husband lives there, or in the neighborhood. I will give the above reward if delivered to me at Mrs. E N Drewry's, on Grace street, between Foushee and Adams, or secured in any jail so that I get her again. Wm H Davis. [oc 7--ts]
