Wadsworth's division of the First corps having driven the enemy back some distance, captured numerous prisoners, among them General Archer, of the Confederate army. --The arrival of reinforcements to the enemy on the Cashtown road, and the junction of Ewel.'s corps coming in on the York and Harrisburg roads, which occurred between one and two o'clock P. M., enabled the enemy to bring vastly superior forces against both the First and Eleventh corps, outflanking our line of battle and pressing it so severely that about four o'clock P. M. Major-General Howard deemed it prudent to withdraw these two corps to the Cemetery ridge,

The Mayor's Court was crowded to overflowing last Saturday, with criminals, witnesses, officers, lawyers and idlers, but nothing transpired worthy of public interest.--The new arrangement of the court-room adds materially to the comfort of those who are compelled to be there, and gives His Honor a better opportunity for the transaction of business.

100 Dollars reward. --Ranaway from the subscriber a negro man named Charles, about 24 years old and about 5 feet 8 inches high, rather stout built, quick spoken and smart, and wore when he left a heavy moustache. He was probably raised in Surry, as he was carried from that county to Richmond, where I bought him in last October. When last heard from he was within 44 miles of Petersburg, and it was thought he would endeavor to cross the Appomattox above Petersburg, and the James above Richmond, on his way North; or he may be lurking about Richmond. If delivered to me or lodged in jail, I will pay all necessary expenses and give $100 reward. If he is apprehended about Richmond, report to McKinney, Dupuy & Archer, commission merchants, Shockoe Slip, or to Wm R Grigg, S Tammany P O. Mecklenburg. fe 10--6t
