Ran away --From the subscriber, on yesterday morning, the 2d inst., two Negro Girls-Ellen and Betsey. The first named is about 20 years old, black, and has a defect in one of her eyes; the second is about 12 years old, gingerbread color. Their mother lives in the Valley, near the City Jail, and they may be about there. I will pay the usual reward for their arrest. J. N. Parker, se 3--3t* At the Petersburg Depot.

Capitol grounds, to be thickly strange with head rebels, from Jeff., the arch traitor, down to the microscopic Twiggs, the most contemptible of them all. Tell the boys — do hold on; a few more pork rations and hard crackers, and you will have the pleasure of opening up avenues through the ranks of the fighting rebels, and hearing prayers under the scaffold of traitors of the upper ten. Give my best regards to Hosford. He is a good fellow, with an excellent mother, and sisters who love Christ. I think he wants to be a Christian. I hope the solemn surroundings of a soldier's life have not failed to impress him with a need of a preparation for eternity. I am comfortably fixed in Brooklyn — an advance in every respect over the old spot. Secession is an infection, you perceive. Fourth Ward Mission is apparently near its end. Unfortunate counsels prevailed. Mr. Van Mater, with half a dozen of the employees left, and are doing their work in the Bowery with about 200 child

Letter from the Perihelia of a Zouave Chaplain. Groveton, Prince William Co. Va., August 25, 1861. To the Editors of the Richmond Dispatch:--I send you a trophy from the Yankee retreat from Manassas. It seems that the Rev. G. W. Dodge, Chaplain of the Elisworth Fire Zouaves, in endeavoring to dodge from our cavalry on the evening of the 21st of July, dropped his portfolio near my house, (which is the house known in the various descriptions of the battle as the Sudley House.) One of my children picked it up, and, on making a minute examination of its contents a few days ago, I found the accompanying letter from a Brother Saint of the New York school of reverends. Respectfully, yours, Crawford Cushing. 63 Portland Av., Brooklyn, July 12. Dear Brother Dodge: Your welcome letter reached me two weeks after date. I have been away a week, and so I have seemed to be neglectful of your epistle. I was very glad to hear from you. I have thought frequently of

at pie? Methinks so. Do you think it would be worth while to correspond with Gen Scott on the subject? I am anxious to have these palm-leaf nabobs gloriously whipped — so thoroughly that for a generation they will be glad to hold a Northerner's horse for a six pence. I wish you and the boys could be in at the death. Can't you all hold on to the end? No doubt you have longings for the good things of Broadway restaurants, or the better comforts of home; but it is not often that free-born Americans have an opportunity to fight or die for such a country as this. Hadn't you all better stay till you wipe the thing clean, and then for once tell your children a tale that the angels would love to listen to ? I suppose if you would only put a dozen bullets through some contractors and commissaries, you would be more happy than you are. Some of them, at least, ought to be sent down the Potomac astride of a log. It is unpardonable that, when thousands of men have patriotically laid themselve

r children a tale that the angels would love to listen to ? I suppose if you would only put a dozen bullets through some contractors and commissaries, you would be more happy than you are. Some of them, at least, ought to be sent down the Potomac astride of a log. It is unpardonable that, when thousands of men have patriotically laid themselves on the altar of their country, a few graceless, soulless scoundrels should disaffect a whole army by their diabolical contract villainy. A member of Duryea's regiment told me the other day, he had not had 30 cents' worth of provisions in a week, in the face of the fact that Government allows 30 cents' per day for each man. The unmitigated wretches that cause such a state of things are a thousand times worse than open traitors fighting in the rebel army. I wish you could give them all a fair hanging, and hold a court-martial in their case afterward. What has become of compromise down your way? It looks as if old Abe was sound on the goose
