Runaway--$25 reward,

--Ran away from the subscriber, at camp, on the 27th December, 1862, my boy Mack. Said boy is 30 years of age, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, and weighs 100 lbs. He is very dark complected, and has a very cobber look, almost amounting to sullenness. He took all his clothes with him in a Yankee knapsack, and had a pretty good looking double-case silver watch, with a heavy steel vest chain. He had on a gray round-jacket, trimmed with red around the collar and cuffs. He also had on brown pants, and a pretty good cassimere overcoat. He is no doubt in some portion of the army, passing off as a free boy. He is a very good cook.

Any information concerning him will be thankfully received, and the above reward paid for him on delivery, or lodged in any jail where I can get him. My address is " F M Palmer, Orr's Rifle Reg't, Gregg's Brigade, A P Hill's Division. "
