300 dollars reward. --Ranaway from the subscriber on the 29th of December inst, a negro woman, named Sarah. Said negro is stout built, of ginger-bread color, about 22 years of age, and will probably weigh 150 pounds. She is possibly making an effort to escape to the Yankees, or it may be that she is lurking about the city and attempting to pass as free. I will give the above reward for her return to me in Richmond, or confinement in jail so that I get her again. Wm H Clarkson. ja 7--3t*

Hardy County (West Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
Capture of Yankees in Hardy county. We understand, through passengers by the Central train from Staunton last night, that a portion of our cavalry forces recently made a raid into Hardy county, which resulted in the capture of about two hundred and fifty Yankees, one hundred and fifty head of cattle, twenty to thirty wagon loaded of green slides, and some one hundred and seventy-five mules. We were unable to learn who commanded the expedition, or any further particulars than those above gre of Yankees in Hardy county.

peedily given. When the firemen reached the scene they found that the goods on every floor were on fire, and, forcing the door, set to work earnestly to check and subdue the flames. So dense was the smoke that it was almost impossible for the firemen to exist in it, yet they continued their labors and finally subdued the flames, but not until the building was completely gutted and the tin roof had fallen in. Adjoining this building on the south was the commission house of Mr. Wm. H. Pleasants, which was saved, together with its contents. At one time it was generally believed that every tenement in the block would be destroyed, but the skill and energy of the fire brigade confined the flames to the tenement in which they were discovered. The losses of Messrs. Wills and Nott are heavy and their insurance light. The fire was no doubt the work of an incendiary; but how he entered the building to apply the torch, or escaped from it after doing so, is a matter of conjecture.

[reports of the Press associations.] entered according to act of Congress in the year 1863, by J. S. Thrasher, in the clerk's office of the district Court of the Confederate States for the Northern district of Georgia. Latest from the North. Petersburg, Jan. 6. --The Herald, of the 31st, has been received here. There is no news from the Army of the Potomac or from Charleston. News from Western Virginia, dated the 30th, says that Gen. Kelly had information from Gen. Sullivan that Gen. Early, with nine thousand rebels, was between New Market and Mount Jackson. Rosser had also some 700 cavalry, and Imboden fifteen hundred. Sullivan's column had returned to Harper's Ferry with one hundred prisoners and the same number of horses. Kelly states that he has captured in all over 400 prisoners and a large amount of property.

Gen. Thomas's dispatches from Chattanooga on Wednesday state that a rebel force under Wheeler had captured a Federal train on the 26th ult., bound to Knoxville, at Charleston, on the South bank of the Hiawassee, but that Col. Long pursued and defeated Wheeler, capturing over 100 prisoners. Butler sneers at the threat held out in Davis's proclamation against himself and officers, and declares if a hair on the head of one of his officers or soldiers is injured, except in just warfare, the day that it is done shall be one of sorrow and mourning throughout the Confederate States.

He thinks there is but one way to meet the new state of things, and that is by the sternest retaliation. He says that the Federal Government, having exhausted every form of appeal, there is nothing left it but to authorize that a sufficient num
