One hundred Dollars Reward. --Ranaway from the subscriber, on the 6th instant, at Vienna, Virginia, a Mulatto Boy named Sam. Said Boy is about 20 years of age, 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high. He had on when he left a pair of white oznaburg pants and a checked shirt; no coat; is rather slow spoken; no particular marks remembered. The above reward will be given for sufficient proof to convict any white person of assisting said Boy in effecting his escape; or twenty-five Dollars will be paid for his safe delivery either to myself or in any jail where I can get him.

The enemy's dead at Oak Hills. --A correspondent of the Baton Rouge Advocate, who fought in the Louisiana Regiment at Oak Hills, writes: Soon after the battle ended, the enemy, under a flag of truce, commenced attending to their dead, dying, and wounded. The fight commenced at 6½ o'clock A. M., on the morning of the 10th, ending at 12½ P. M. All the remainder of that day, as well as during the night, seven of their six-mule teams were busily engaged carrying off their dead and wounded. Early Sunday morning I was detailed as sergeant of a large force to finish the burial of the enemy's dead. Armed with shovel, pick-axe, and spade, we proceeded to the principal point of the battle-field to complete this mournful task, which the enemy, unable to accomplish, had given up in despair. The ground was still thickly strewn with the ghastly and mangled forms of the dead. We placed fifty-three bodies in one hole, gathered within a compass of one hundred yards.--Covering them o

a lady murdered by her servant girl — Shocking Tragedy. [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Waterloo, Va., Sept. 18, 1861. Our neighborhood was thrown into considerable excitement on Saturday last, the 14th inst., by the startling news that Miss Evelina Colbert had been brutally murdered at her own home. The news spread rapidly, and soon a large crowd of friends and relatives assembled to ascertain the facts, and find out, if possible, the fiendish perpetrator of the horrible deed. The white portion of the family consisted of an aged and infirm father, a son, (who was absent at the time,) and the unfortunate young lady. The father was somewhat deaf, which doubtless prevented him from hearing the screams of his daughter, which might have enabled him to prevent the perpetration of the atrocious deed. The body was first discovered at the stables, a distance of about 200 yards from the house, by one of the servants, and supposed to have been about two

Interesting from Kentucky. New Orleans, Sept. 19. --A special dispatch to the Picayune, of this city, dated Memphis, the 18th inst., is as follows: "The Tennesseeans have possession of Elizabethtown, 43 miles south of Louisville, and four miles from Muldraugh's Hill, and immediately on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, with a large amount of rolling stock' Eleven companies rallied around our banner at that place. Gen. Roussean's ragamuffins left Louisville on the 18th to meet our forces. Both parties are endeavoring to obtain Muldraugh's Hill, which is regarded as a very strong position. Other good positions, however, are near by. "A lively time was anticipated within 24 hours."

y the ravages of a foe we cannot conquer. Many who have periled their lives in the thickest of the fight, and escaped one death, have fallen by the unseen shaft of disease. We were called to witness just such a scene on Friday last, in the death of Lieut. Wm. L. Goggin, Jr. A young man of noble daring, brave and chivalrous, the pride of his parents, and the favorite of the Lynchburg community, was suddenly snatched from them by this unseen power. He was at the engagement at Bull Run on the 18th, and also at Manassas on the 21st, in both of which he gallantly led on his comrades, and, though death was all around and about him, and men falling by scores, yet he escaped unhurt. Immediately after, he had an attack of typhoid fever, which ended his life. He died in the bosom of his family; but no human art can give the father back his son, the mother her darling boy, the brother his dearest associate; or the sister her protector. A detachment of fifty men, six Lieutenants, by order of

Health of the army. --We are pleased to learn that the condition of our troops on the James and York is improving, and that the general health of the Confederate army promisee finely for the prosecution of a vigorous winter campaign. In a few weeks, the frost will drive away our worst enemy, the fever, and our men, who enjoy the crisp mornings of November, and fresh, cold atmosphere of January, with the gusto of Canadians, will be better prepared than ever to make the Hessians feel the potency of their icy steel.--The Yankees affect a vast congeniality with frigid winds, and inspire themselves with the belief that the Southern people never experience anything but a general feeling of torridity, and consequently must wither up and shake off upon their first simultaneous exposure to snow-storms and Northern bayonets. They will discover, however, that cold weather is preferable to Southerners, especially in the matter of pursuit.

Confederate tax. --As a matter of interest to the people and to the revenue officers of the different counties, it may be well for us to state the determination of the Secretary of the Treasury in regard to the agents who will be appointed for making the assessments and collecting the taxes of the Confederate Government. It is known that under provision of the Confederate law levying a direct tax, any State which shall pay its quota of the same into the Confederate Treasury by the first day of April next, will be entitled to a discount of ten per cent on the amount assessed against it. This discount is probably rather more than the expense which will attend the collection of the tax from the people, and therefore any State paying in its quota by the date specified, may save a small percentage of the amount to its people. As this saving, however, cannot be great enough to afford much temptation to the States to undertake the collection of the Confederate tax, the Government wi

the sake of justice and humanity, let our Government put forward the hand of protection. Maryland will fly to the South for protection with the same confidence and alacrity as a child does to its parent, if we only give her encouragement. I speak feelingly, for I am one of her sons; and the son, too, of one of her substantial citizens and rulers, who is now incarcerated in Fort McHenry for having the manliness and courage to avow his Southern principles. In Baltimore alone, on the 21st of April, when we thought the Hessians were coming through the city, at least 1800 men formed in one body spontaneously to defend our city.--Then Maryland had not felt the grasp of the tyrant, but now she is forced to submit to insult, oppression and want. Such wrongs to a man, as a man, would give him the courage of despair; and no matter how great the odds, he would fight and resent them to the death. Is there not greater reason why a noble and patriotic State should refuse longer to submit to

colnite fleets on the seacoasts of the Confederate States, and Commander Rowan, one of the Lincolnite heroes of Hatteras, talks about ten regiments having been recalled from Virginia for the defence of North Carolina. This is a flat untruth says the Wilmington Journal. There are more Confederate troops in Virginia to-day than before the Hatteras affair. Some few regiments that were getting ready for Virginia may have been detained for a time at home, or rather on the coast of their own State, but regiments are forming so rapidly that the quota of North Carolina troops on the frontier will be larger on the first of October than on the first of September. Because a few scattered and exposed "bankers" are at the mercy of a Yankee force equal in number to all the men, women and children on Hatteras Island, Mr. Rowan need not flatter himself that Lincolnism has any hold in North Carolina. His hopes, like his fort and Hawkins, sworn in men, will be based on the most shifting of sands.
