Wright (search for this): article 7
500 dollars reward. --Ran away from the subscriber about the 1st of February last boy John, about 14 or 15 years old, right copper color, with short, straight hair; had on when he left a new suit of cotton clothes, dyed snuff color. John was purchased of Dr. Wright, of Alabama. I have as doubt he is with our army. The above reward will be paid for his apprehension and delivery to Los. & Bowman, Richmond, Va, or secured in any jail so that I get him. Wm. H. Gwin. jy 14--1m

elegraphic communications are soon restored — Destruction of property and robbery of stores do not involve impoverishment. Moreover, they have no natural effect upon the main movements of the armies. They are at most an interruption. We do not know of an instance in which they have compelled an enemy to retreat or to yield a strong position. Our own raids have been more or less failures. At the time of their occurrence we had glowing accounts of the raids of Stoneman, Sheridan, Averill, Wilson, and Kautz, and of the dash and brilliancy of their opponents. But beyond the loss of hundreds of gallant men, and some of our finest officers, and horses without number, to what did they practically amount? How will the columns of profit and loss when added up balance? We can have no better illustration of the practical result of these expeditions than that afforded by the recent visit to our doors. On the one hand, we have lost property, but we are very far from being ruined. On the o

rning coal, in order that he might be exempted from conscription. A private letter, received by a gentleman of Boston from London, gives a fact which we have not seen before published: "At the great commemoration day at Oxford last week, a Confederate officer appeared off the platform in his uniform, and was cheered to such a degree as to rise several times and how to the galleries in acknowledgment of the honor." The New York Times, Tribune, World, and News announce that they have advanced their prices to four cents per copy and $10 per year to mail subscribers. The increase, they state, is rendered absolutely necessary by the enormous and constant advance in the price of white paper, and of all other materials used in the publication of a news paper. Gen Hunter, immediately on his return from his disastrous campaign to Lynchburg, put James E Wharton, editor of the Parkersburg (Va) Gazette, in jail, for commenting severely on the failure and his (H's) incompetency.
Watt (search for this): article 1
500 dollars reward --Ran away from the Works, on the night of July 34, 1864, Watt. He is black, about 25 years old, nearly six feet high, stout, and very likely. Also, on the night of the 20th inst, Jun, about 19 years old, 5 feet 7 inches high, stout, and black. The above reward will be paid for the delivery of both negroes to me or Clopton a Lyne, or for information recurring them--one half for either. H. T.

eference to an advance of compensation. About thirty-five actors w present, and Mr Davidge, the comedian, presided. The result of their deliberations has not transpired at this writing. The theatrical managers have a meeting this evening at Mr Wallace's house, to meet a committee from the actors, with a view to some mutually satisfactory arrangement. This afternoon the 71st regiment, just returned from the sent of war, was formally received by the Common Council, who provided the nk Maniz, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, with part of his furniture and all the railroad property, were fired by the rebels and entirely consumed. Previous to the entry into this city, on the evening of the evacuation of our city by Gen Wallace, these highway robbers visited the residence of Col George R. Dennis, west of this city, on the Harper's Ferry turnpike, and, after helping themselves to liquors, eatables, and other delicacies, they went to work and broke up the furniture.--T

Among the number was one taken by our pickets at Chaffin's Bluff.
Mary Wade (search for this): article 8
Mayor's Court. --The Mayor yesterday had before him the following cases for his consideration: James H. Marshall, a respectable looking white man, was charged with stealing a purse containing $9 in specie and $42 in Confederate money from Mrs. Mary Wade. The plaintiff stated that in her absence from home, on Sunday morning last, the accused entered her house and abstracted the purse and its contents. A warrant was gotten out and placed in the hands of Lieut. Baptist, of the night police, for execution, whereupon that officer went in search of Marshall, but did not find him until Tuesday night, when he was overhauled in a ball-room on Oregon Hill. Baptist was not very mealy mouthed about making known his business, but as soon as he got his eye on the game he clamped him by the collar, and in the presence of the gay party assembled made known his business. This disconcerted the accused, and for a while he manifested considerable consternation; but he afterwards recovered h

different parts of the town, none of which exploded. The Hagerstown Herald states that in addition to the sum of $20,000 demanded by the invaders, to be paid by the citizen the following articles had to be furnished: Coats, 243; pants, 203, drawers, 132; hose, 737; boots, 99; shoes, 123; hats, 830; shirts, 225; piece goods, 1,270½ yards; clothing, 70 pieces, assorted Amongst the sufferers whose stores were rifled were Messrs Knodle and Small, shoe dealers, and Messrs Rouskutp and Updergraff, dealers in hate. The losses by these gentlemen were considerable. In Williamsport the raiders entered the stores and carried off whatever suited their purpose, and even entered private houses, compelling ladies to open bureau drawers in order that they might take therefrom any articles of value which they found The losses sustained by the merchants and dealing men of the place are said to have been heavy. At Boonsboro', where a heavy body of the enemy remained for a day or two, we

bag of "shiners" which she had in her pocket. All her efforts proved unavailing, however, and the consequence was a night's sojourn in the station house and her appearance before His Honor yesterday morning. Joe Harris was charged with burglariously entering the dwelling house of some person unknown and stealing a lot of flour. In the absence of witnesses for the Commonwealth, the case was continued till this morning. John Camp, a very bad while boy, charged with stealing $10 in the First Market from Geo. Thraves, was committed for want of security for his future good behavior. Ella, slave of Richard James, charged with stealing meat in the Second Market, was ordered to be whipped. Geo W Bens, charged with meal in the Second Market to sell again, was fined $20. Mary was charged with possession of a house to which Amelia Cofield was entitled, but the Mayor deemed the pass one over which he had no control, and therefore discharged the party accused.

Grant, and was possessed of great caution and much ability. He is the man who has led all the flank movements which have resulted in the flanking of Gen. Johnston from Dalton back to the rear of the Chattahoochee river. It was in making a flank movement on East Point — which, had it been successful, would have insured the isolation and siege of Atlanta — that he was himself struck in the flank by Hardee and lost his life. There is no man in Sherman's army who approaches him as a commander except Thomas, who though successful as a fighting General, has no reputation as a strategist. The Valley. There is nothing further from the Valley, except the report that we get through Northern papers that Gen. Averill, notorious as a raider and spoon thief in Western Virginia, was killed in the recent Confederate victory by Gen. Early. Petersburg was yesterday represented by passengers who came over as quiet, with the exception of occasional firing from the enemy's batteries
