$25 reward. --Ranaway from the subscriber on the morning of the 14th instant, from my farm, near the Junction in Hanover county, my negro man Dick, of a dark gingerbread complexion, about five feet six inches in height, and very quick in speech when spoken to. The above reward will be paid for his delivery to me on my farm, or in the Hanover county jail, or any jail in the city of Richmond. Thomas Doswell, Junction, Hanover county, Va. ap 15--5t.

aptured. It is too early after the battle, and too much confusion prevails for me to get at the precise facts. The number of prisoners is variously estimated; some say 2,000, and others 4,000; one report has it that one entire brigade has been captured. This is, doubtless, a mistake. Among the prisoners are many officers, and the greater part of the Seventh Iowa regiment, who lately petitioned the Federal Congress for permission to lus ribe upon their banner the victories of Belmont and Donelson. The number of batteries taken is said to be eighteen, which, allowing six pieces to the battery, would make one hundred and eight guns. It is more probable that parts of eighteen batteries were taken. Several stands of colors were also captured--three by the 1st Louisiana regiment alone. I have seen two of them myself, and was present when they were brought in and delivered to Gen. Beauregard. I witnessed, also, the arrival and presentation of Gen. Prentiss, who was taken by a sta

d opposite as far as the eye can reach. Groans fill the air, surgeons are busy at work by candle-light, a few women are ministering to the wants of the suffering, the atmosphere is fetid with the stench of wounds, and the rain is pouring down upon thousands who yet lie upon the bloody ground of Shiloh. It is thought that the battle will not he renewed. In fact it is already understood that the enemy have fallen back over the Tennessee, demoralized and broken in ranks and spirits. Van- Dorn has arrived with reinforcements, and Price is on his way here. The report is prevalent to-night that Buell has been killed, and that his papers are in possession of Col. Battle. The Charleston Mercury publishes the following from a private letter: On last Thursday we were ordered to have three days provisions ready to march on the next day. But, on account of the left wing of the army being further from the scene of action than was expected, the fight was delayed until Sunday

ay from the Potomac, or to yield up their lead to other hands. Will he move? I think he will, and at an early day. Where? If I know, I would not tell. Will he find the foe? I am not sure that he will soon find him in large numbers. If he meats him, will he conquer him?--There is not doubt of it with such troops, so well armed, and with such ponderous masses of artillery, and led by such experienced officers as Heintzelman, McDowell, Franklin, Sumner, Hooker, Smith, McCall, Cassy, Doubleday, and their associates, who have seen service, and such recruits from civil life as Backs, Wadsworth, Martindale, Cochrane, and others who are eager to distinguish themselves, the grand army of the Potomac, whether its nominal board be McClellan, McDowell, or Hallack, or Fremont, or the President of the United States, (Its Constitutional Commander-In-Chief,) or with concert of action, even if it have no nominal head, will know no such word as fail ! Its weight is so great that if it be but

The ladies' gunboat. --The proposition of the ladies to collect funds for building a gunboat, has, we learn, assumed this shape, viz: That efforts shall be made to procure the names of two hundred persons who will give $1,000 each, which, with the other pledged funds, is deemed sufficient to finish the boat. The list was circulated yesterday for the first time, and we learn that Mr. Charles M. Wallace and Col. Blanton Duncan, put their names down for $1,000 each. Mrs. Judge Clopton and Mrs. Gen. Henningsen, have the list in charge, and will no doubt call upon our citizens who will thus have an opportunity of manifesting their patriotism. It is an important matter, and we hope that no wealthy citizens will hesitate about contributing from his abundance to an object at once so noble and patriotic.

ovely. The change is the result, doubtless, of the heavy cannonading kept up since early morning. The enemy is still throwing shells from his gunboats, and some of them fall uncomfortably near our tents Whether he fears a night attack, or is seeking to cover the transfer of his army to the other bank of the river, it were impossible to say. Will Buell come? I have my fears. But let us leave the morrow to tell its own tale. Meanwhile I shall court the sweet embrace of Somnus upon Capt. Felica's camp cot. There is many as weary soldier lying on the wet ground to-night, who is ready to join with Sancco Panza, and say, "blessed be the man who first invented sleep" P. W. A. Another account. We copy from the Charleston Courtier an account of the fight, under date of Aprils, written by its correspondent "Persons;" The Federal numbered some sixty thousand, while the total number of our own force engaged was less than forty thousand.

ulaski and threaten Savannah, and Gen. Buller hurries off his regiments and transports to the Gulf for an attack, via Ship Island, upon New Orleans! Does this mounting in hot hastes, this gleaming of bayonets and bursting of shells all around from Pickens to Springfield, disturb the equanimity or jostle the self-control of the Major-General Commanding? Not a bit of it. Like Message, of whom Napoleon said, "His head is never so cool as when a thousand cannon are thundering in his ears," our Field-Marshal possesses his soul in peace, and directs the telegraphic censer to reiterate the chronic fact, "All is quiet along the lines of the Potomac." And so the army has stood through the winter, but without being permitted to go into winter quarters. The "Major-General Commanding" has enjoyed his luxurious apartments at "these headquarters." and has retired nightly to his downy pillow; while the leaders of divisions and brigades have dwelt under breezy canvas, and the common soldiers
