George Williams (search for this): article 1
Ranaway. --A Negro Boy, named David, about 20 years old; of medium height; black skin. No scars recollected. He is slow in his movements. It is supposed he is lurking about the city. Has been at the Central Hotel, and has probably hired himself at some of the camps.--Ten dollars reward will be paid for his return if caught within the city, or county of Henrico, $15 if caught beyond.

Kitt Williams (search for this): article 15
Gladden--the first five not seriously. Gen. Gladden, who commanded the right wing of Hardee's corps, lost his left arm; Gen. Cheatham received a ball in the shoulder, and Gen. Bushrod Johnson one in the side. General Bowen was wounded in the neck, and doing well at last accounts. Colonel Adams, of the 1st. Louisiana regulars, succeeded General Gladden in the command of the right wing, and was soon after shot, the ball striking him just above the eye and coming out behind the ear. Colonel Kitt Williams, of Memphis, and Col. Blythe, of Mississippi, formerly Consul to Havana, were killed. Many other officers were wounded and killed, cut my knowledge of the regiments is too limited, and the confusion too great to procure reliable details. The Mississippians, Tennesseeans, and Louisianian suffered terribly. All the troops behaved most gallantly. Never did men fight better; and yet many of them were raw troops fresh from their homes. The 21st Alabama regiment took two batteries, an

It is now felt that great injustice was done to McDowell. But a victim was demanded to appease popular clamor, and he was offered up in looking around for his successor, it was found that the selection was confined to a very narrow range. The oldest and most experienced Generals in the army, excepting Gen. Wool, who was then under some mysterious ban, had joined the rebels. The campaign in Western Virginia where McClellan, by virtue of his Major-Generalship, was senior officer, had been successful. He had sent shrilling telegrams, and written imposing dispatches to Washington, describing the successes in his Department. The public, not then knowing that he had neither planned nor fought a single one of the battles he described, and had not even been under fire in Western Virginia, and that
Yancky (search for this): article 5
Mr. Semmes, of La., announced that the Committee on Flag and Seal were not ready to report the design of a national ensign, as had been promised on to-day. The delay was owing to the future of those entrusted with making the men flag to perform the duty; but that by Friday it would be in readiness for presentation. The Senate then went into secret session; but the doors were after wards thrown open, and the following business was transacted: Mr. Banswill, of S. C., introduced a joint resolution, which was agreed to, authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the mileage and per diem of members of the Provisional Congress. Mr. Yancky offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling upon the Secretary of War to furnish the Senate, at its next session with a list of army officers of the Confederate States, both of the regular and the Provisional service. The Senate passed the bill to make Augusta, Ga., a port of entry through the port of Charleston, S. C.
