George F. Stachlin (search for this): article 1
One hundred dollars Reward for the apprehension of Becky, a girl, seventeen years old, tall and well proportioned, about five feet high, of dark gingerbread color, with but one or two teeth on the left side of her lower jaw, a very large mark of vaccination on the left arm. She was dressed in a spun cotton coat; stammers slightly when suddenly addressed. She went off in a Rivanna river canal boat, and is supposed to be harbored with free negroes on the canal or in Richmond. George F. Stachlin, Keswick Depot, Albemarle county, Virginia. se 19--6t*

ion and got safely across the river. The party who had been sent to burn the bridge were so alarmed at the hurried return of their comrades, that they ran off without completing their work, only a small portion of the bridge being injured. The regiment of Confederates which executed this little piece of work was an infantry regiment stationed in the neighborhood, belonging to a brigade which it would not be prudent to name, but which can be found by the Yankees by applying in that neighborhood. The commander, hearing of the proximity of the enemy, used the locomotive device to bring them in, and succeeded. Some of the prisoners captured arrived by the Central train last night. A large number of the horses captured by the enemy were recaptured by our men. Around Petersburg yesterday there was nothing of interest occurring. There has been heavy picket firing since Sunday night, and a battery of Whitworth guns have been greatly annoying the trains on Grant's new railroad.
Rapidan (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
The War News. The Yankee raid in Culpeper county has proved a ludicrous failure. It appears that a body of seven hundred Yankee cavalry came from Warrenton and reached Rapid Ann station, where the Orange and Alexandria railroad crosses the Rapid Ann river, Sunday morning. They crossed the river there and came as far as Holliday's mill, which they burnt, with a considerable quantity of grain, stored there by the Orange and Alexandria Railroad Company. Here they captured a large number of government horses, which were grazing there. At this point the successful portion of the raid ended. A short distance from the road an engine was seen coming slowly towards them; and after dispatching a party to the station to burn the railroad bridge, the main body of the Yankees proceeded down the road to catch the train. The engineer tried to escape, but, apparently, for want of steam, made a slow business of getting away, and the exultant Yankees had nearly gotten to him, when the dischar

Hood (search for this): article 2
From Georgia. The ten days flag of truce between Sherman and Hood ends this evening, and to-morrow morning hostilities are to be resumed. The two commanding generals have filled up this interval with some sharp pen-and-paper skirmishing, in which Sherman has been using slang and waving "the old flag," and our commander has entered into the history, causes, &c., of secession. Both will use different weapons after to-day.
