Ranaway. --From the subscriber, on Saturday night, the 27th inst., my negro man Blake, about 23 or 24 years of age, black complexion, speaks quick when questioned; plays on the banjo and violin, and took with him both instruments.--He was purchased by the of Mr. Snow, of Halifax county, N. C. I will give a reward of $50 for his return to me, and $200 for the apprehension and conviction of the person enticing him away or harboring him. [se 29--7t*] David McDANIEL,

by this movement, my boy, we cut the enemy's force completely in two, thus compelling him to attack us either in front or in the rear, and giving him no choice of any other operation save flank movements. Our plans being thus perfected, Captain William Brown, with Company 3, Regiment 5, was ordered to charge into a wood near at hand, with a view to induce some recently arrived reserve Confederates to take a position in our centre, while still others would be likely to flank us on the right anfederacy had the inside; and this great strategic scheme was intended to produce a result vice versa. It was a great success, my boy — a great success; and our troops presently found themselves inside the most complete circle on record. William Brown not only charged into the wood, but staid there; and when one of the Orange county Howitzers was discharged with geat precision at a reporter who was caught sneaking into our lines, the report was heard by the Venerable Gammon at Washington,

ays the General, fiercely, "it will be taken sick on the spot, and we shall capture it alive." I could not but feel shocked at this inhuman artifice, my boy. The Southerners have indeed acted in a way to forfeit all ordinary mercy, but still we should abstain from any retaliatory act savoring of demoniac malignity. Our foes are at least human beings. Suppressing my horror, however, I assumed a practical aspect, and says I-- "But how are the Mackerel warriors to subsist, my Napoleon, if you allow the rations to go?" "Thunder!" says the General, handing me a paper from his pocket. "They are to subsist exclusively on the enemy. Just peruse this document, which I have just fulminated." Taking the paper, I found it to be the following Proclamation. Whereas, the matter of provisions is a great expense to the United States of America, besides offering inducements for unexpected raids on the part of the famishing foeman, the Mackerel Brigade is hereby d

er that I might not be unduly hurried on my journey. Taking Accomac on my way to the battle-field, my boy, I called upon Col. Wobert Wobinson, who is superintending preparations for the draft there, and was witness to an incident suitable to be recorded in profane history. The draft in Accomac, my boy, is positively to take place on the 11th of September; but it is not believed that the enrollment can be finished before the 15th, in which case the draft must inevitably take place on the 20th. In fact, the Judge Advocate of Accomac states positively that the conscription will commence on the 1st of October; and volunteering is so brisk that, no draft may be required. At least such is the report of those best acquainted with the more decisive plans of the War Department, which thinks of joining the Temperance Society. The exempts were filing their papers of exemption with Colonel Woberf Wobinson, my boy, and amongst them was one chap with a swelled eve, a deranged neck-tie,

There was another chap, named Burns, the inventor of a Family and Military Gridiron, who noticed how the thoughtful Boston chap was making money by the advertising necessities of our distracted countand all the reporters telegraphed an exciting dispatch to the reliable morning journals: "Exciting Affair — Arrest of an Influential Rebel! --The celebrated Mr. Burns has been arrested for publicly saying that he had more confidence in his well-known and ingenious Patent Economical Family and Military Gridiron than he had in t. Simultaneously, all the reporters telegraphed again to the reliable morning journals: "The Burns Affairs Settled!--Full Particulars of the Gridiron!--Mr. Burns, the celebrated inventor of the famous Patent Economical Family and Military Gridiron, has been honorably discharged by order of the Secretary of War.

Humors of the War. from the Capital — great metaphysical victory. [From the N. Y. Sunday Mercury.] Prefacing his epistle with facts calculated to prove, that business is improving, and that New England is still herself, our valiant and observing correspondent minutely describes a great metaphysical victory, recently elaborated to consummation by that inspired son of Mars, the General of the Mackerel Brigade. It will take but a few years to finish the war at this rate, and then the Government will have time to execute a few abolitionists, dividing their effects among the editors of this journal: From Washington. Editor T. T. Everything is confident and buoyant here, my boy; a sense that the President is an honest man inspiring confidence on every side, and surrounding the Government with well-known confidence men. The repeated safety of the Capital, indeed, has even inspired the genius of New England, as illustrated by a thoughtful Boston chap, with one of those enla

t next morning. This is a great saving. Persons having nothing to eat find this gridiron a great comfort, and hence the propriety of introducing it in the army." The gridirons are having a great sale, my boy, and it is believed that the business interests of the country are being rapidly improved by the war. Knowing that the Mackerel Brigade was making preparations to entrap the Southern Confederacy at Molasses Junction, I ascended to the upper gallery of my architectural steed, Pegasus, on Tuesday, in order that I might not be unduly hurried on my journey. Taking Accomac on my way to the battle-field, my boy, I called upon Col. Wobert Wobinson, who is superintending preparations for the draft there, and was witness to an incident suitable to be recorded in profane history.

ed the Confederacies before them to move right ahead. Swiftly following the vanguard, and evidently fancying it was flying before them, came a regiment of Confederacies.--Pursuing the latter, as though in triumph, appeared the Conic Section, Mackerel Brigade; closely succeeded in its turn by a regiment of Confederacies in charge of our baggage-wagons; racing after whom was a regiment of Mackerels, and so on to the end of the line. You may ask, my boy, with which side rested the victory in this remarkable movement? That question, my boy, cannot be decided yet, as the whole procession has scarcely reached Washington; but, the answer may be said to depend very much upon whether the last regiment coming in is Mackerel or Confederacy. The contest, my boy, has assumed a profound metaphysical aspect, and the development of a little more military genius on our side will tend to utterly confound our enemies — and everybody else. Yours, wonderingly, Orpheus C. Kerr.
