Richmond Sept. 2, 1862. Honorable W. Miles.,Chairman of Military Com. C. S. Cong.: Sir: There are times and circumstances when not to speak out is to sacrifice cardinal principles. We are now in just such times, and surrounded by just such circumstances. If you will recur to the brief interview between us in the Hall last week, you will readily perceive, and, I am sure, generously appreciate, my motive in addressing you this note through the press. As legal adviser and retained counsel for very many of our non script soldiers, I had the honor to present a petition for them to Congress, on the first day of its present session. That petition was referred to the committee of which you are the chairman. No report or action, so far as the proceedings of the House inform me, has been made or had. The duties of counsel are not less imperious or sacred than those of representative. In this capacity I now address you, because of the silence of your committee as to

He ran away on last Sunday, August 31st, is a likely boy of about twenty-five years of age, rather under medium size (say 5 feet 6 or 8 inches high,) dark complexion, (not black,) with a bushy head, intelligent, and speaks quick; had on when he left a black coat, light pants, and black felt hat. He carried other clothes with him and a cloth hat. I think he is trying to make his way towards Fredericksburg or the lines, or he may pass himself for free, and stop with some of our own forces until he can get off to the Yankees. Elijah Priddy. Henrico co., Va., September 2, 1862 se 3--4t*
