Ten dollars reward. --Run away from home, at Easter, a Servant Woman, named Caroline. She is about 29 years of age medium height very good figure, ginger-bread color, and rather a long, bumpy face. Her feet are uncommonly large, and both shoes patched near the toes. I have no doubt she is passing herself of as free. The above reward will be paid on her delivery to me. Hugh M.

I shall write again in a day or two. News here is very scarce, as we get nothing in that line except through the hands of Abraham Lincoln, or rather his aids. Last night the Winchester and Potomac train came in with 641 men from Alabama and Louisiana. These are, I understand, but a part of 1500 to arrive before to-morrow night. A man shot himself yesterday evening, accidentally. He belonged to the Southwestern Virginia Regiment, which arrived day before yesterday. The shot was from a pistol. The hall entered his cheek, and glancing, passed out behind the ear. Large numbers of troops are concentrating here. as it is a good point from which to precipitate men. Fortifications are being vigorously pushed forward. The quarters of all the troops are very comfortable, and Co

t affairs here, but it is sometimes not wise to tell tales out of school. We get the Baltimore Sun, American, and Republican daily, but we can place no reliance on them, as they seem to be in a state of terror, and only speak so as to keep A. Lincoln off of them. I am nearly sick to see the welcome face of my old favorite, the Dispatch. Many correspondents from here to different newspapers seem to take especial pains to make up the largest imaginable stories. It is time that newspapere of the light to tell you. You may, however rest assured of one thing, and that is, that there area great many. I shall write again in a day or two.

respondent has a very difficult task to perform, if he sticks to the truth. We have the tenor of treason on one side and a lie on the other. But if what I write be treason, then, as Patrick Henry said, "let them make the most of it." But to the news. We had an alarm on yesterday evening, but it turned out nothing. In from 15 to 20 minutes between 3,000 and 4,000 men were on the ground. This exhibits a promptness worthy of Virginia, and which will tell woefully against the forces of Lincoln, who are to be sent to subjugate us. One thing is very certain, that if he commences on Harper's Ferry, he will have a happy time getting possession of this place and the surrounding heights.--I could, possibly, tell a great deal about affairs here, but it is sometimes not wise to tell tales out of school.

them along. We will try and keep an eye on the chaps, and they can look out for the "nabbers." Col. Arthur C. Cummings was yesterday assigned to the 2d Regiment from the county of Rockingham. He appears to be a nice, gentlemanly man, and during the alarm he was perfectly cool, and seemed to take things in a manner which shows him to be a good soldier. It is to be hoped that he will be fully acceptable to his men. Our regiment is yet sore under the loss of their late Commander, Col. S. B. Gibbons. Col. G. is an officer with few superiors, and unless to gratify some malice somewhat, it is impossible to see why he should be turned out of his place, in the face, too, of the protest of his whole regiment. Col. Jackson, the Commander-in-Chief of all the forces stationed here, seems to give general satisfaction, and all the men have great confidence in him, and will make a strong fight under his leadership. Four hundred and fifty-one men from Southwestern Virginia arrived h
