Absent, but not forgotten.

--The Mayor received yesterday a note from the Superintendent of city fortifications, near Fairfield, stating that one hundred and fifty of the free negroes sent thither to labor had deserted and failed to answer at roll-call. This conduct may necessitate the adoption of more stringent regulations in regard to them. One follow, Seaton Anderson by name, left the works two hours after being brought thither by Mr. Wicks, a policeman.
