Runaway. --Ran away from the subscriber on the 24th instant, at Manchester, boy Henry; about sixteen years of age; five feet high; nearly black; slender; long face and thick lips; on right or left side a wen about the size of a walnut; has eruption on his skin, resembling mosquito bites. When the said boy left he had on a soldier's jacket and a common cotton shirt, rather light-colored pants, old hat and shoes; all of which clothes were very dirty. I will give One Hundred dollars in the present Confederate currency for the apprehension and delivery of said Boy to Messrs. Lee & Bowman, Richmond, or in any jail so I can get him.

alry cannot charge as in Europe. Tariton's Legion, then, was all a myth, we suppose. There never was such a body of troops as the Queen's Rangers, under Simcoe. --Lee's Legion was the fabrication of some crazy rebel during the revolution. Tariton did not charge Morgan at the Cowpens, and William Washington did not charge Tariton in turn. Lee did not charge Tariton in the lane in front of Guilford just before the battle, and Tariton did not charge our left wing (in the woods, too,) at that battle under cover of the smoke raised by a body of infantry who fired especially for that purpose. These are all inventions — pure inventions. The country would not probation, and, we understand, of most other military men. Let the cavalry be made cavalry sure enough. We have very good officers; such as Hampton, Forrest, Fitz, Lee, Wickham, &c. Let them be instructed to teach their men the use of the sabre, or to have it taught, and the evolutions necessary for cavalry. Then, when we inflict
