aves. Jesse — A mulatto man, about 40 years old, 5 ½ feet high; has a scar towards the lower part of his back from cupping; had on a very good brown wool hat, a grey frock or sack coat, and grey cotton pants; talks smart. Fleming.--A brown negro, very high forehead, about 5 feet high; 20 years old; had on a pair of boots with iron plates on the heels; is quick spoken and somewhat pop-eyed, and under lip inclined to curl. John — A dark brown boy, about 16 years old, full 5 feet high; had on a sheep's grey sack coat, black satinet pants, and light-colored summer hat. I am of the opinion they were decoyed from home by some one under the promise of freedom, but who will try to sell them in Richmond, or run them South. I will give a reward of ten Dollars each, if taken in the State, or twenty-five Dollars each, if taken out of the State, and confined in jail so that I can recover them. Constantine O. Perkins, Near Wilmington, oc 3--4t Fluvanna county, Va.

To the people of the 7th Congressional District, composed of the counties of Campbell, Amherst, Nelson, Albemarle, Fluvanna, and Buckingham. --Fellow-Citizens: I am a candidate to represent you in the Congress of the Confederate States. The briefness of the time between now and the election, and the difficulties and anxieties of the times, alike forbid a canvass. Suffice it to say that, if elected, my whole energies shall be devoted to the advancement of your interests. Your fellow-citizen. Shelton F. Leake. Charlottesville, Oct. 7th, 1861. oc 9--dt6N*

Infamous practice. --We alluded yesterday to some sharp huckstering operations carried on by parties living in this city. The facts then stated are now confirmed by a letter addressed to the Mayor of Richmond by one of the most reliable citizens of Fluvanna county. It appears that the people of that section have contributed freely to the hospitals, but have been much annoyed by reports that the provisions and delicacies sent here were consumed by the nurses and doctors, while the sick were put off with other diet. An application was made to the Army Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association in Richmond, and the charge completely refuted. Subsequently, however, an individual appeared in the county on the pretence of buying chickens, butter, and other articles, stating that his own house was crowded with invalid soldiers whom be was gratuitously feeding and nursing, and the impression created by this person was that all the food sent to the sick had been embezzled by

Sequestration notice. --Having been appointed by the Judge of the District Court of the Confederate States of America for the Eastern District of Virginia the Receiver for the District designated in the sub-division of said Eastern District of Virginia, made by said Court, as No. 3, and composed of the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Louisa, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, (including that part of the City of Richmond lying westward of 11th street in said city,) New Kent, Charles City, James City, (including the City of Williamsburg.) Warwick, York, Elizabeth City, and King William, I hereby notify every Attorney, Agent, Farmer, Partner, Trustee, or other person holding or controlling, within said District, any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, goods, or chattels, rights, or credits, or any interest therein, of or for any alien enemy of the Confederate States of America, speedily to inform me of the same, and to render to me an account thereof, and, so far as practicable, to place

of Pendleton's battery, Holcombe had 240, Leake 48, Kean 96; in the Eleventh Regiment, Col. G r and, Holcombe 53, Leake 12, Kean 153. Mr. Holcombe received 100 more majority in Albemarle over Mr. Kean than the latter received over Mr. Holcombe in the counties of Nelson, Amherst, Campbell, an the city of Lynchburg. There are several other companies in Western Virginia and in the Army of the Potomac, to hear from which will add to the majority of Mr. Holcombe. The counties of Buckingham and Fluvanna will also give several hundred majority for Mr. Holcombe over Mr. Kean, and it is quite probable that his majority will amount to 1,000 in the District. The law requires the polls taken in the army to be returned to the place of meeting of the Sheriffs in each Congressional District within fifteen days after the election. This may be very important where the content is close. A poll was opened at the hospital in this place; 77 votes were cast for President. For Congress, Holcomb

Singular case. --A citizen of Fluvanna county, whose name we withhold for the present, was brought to this city yesterday morning, by Bailiff Henry Myers, of the District Court. As near as we can ascertain, this arrest was made at the instance of an officer of the Confederate Government, who alleges that a bribe, or reward in money, was offered him to influence his decision in a matter pending before him in his official capacity.

Charge of Bribery --John Henson, whose arrest, in Fluvanna county, was noticed in our last paper, appeared before Commissioner Watson yesterday for a preliminary examination. It appears that he was arrested upon information lodged by Rufus R. Rhodes, Commissioner of Patents, and Americus Featherman, a clerk in the Patent Office, to the effect that Henson did, on or about the 1st of January, 1862, offer to an officer of the Government of the Confederate States, a bribe, or present, or reward in money, or cause it to be offered, with intent to influence the decision of said officer in a matter pending before him in his official capacity. E. F. Husted, a "patent agent," was arrested yesterday morning in connection with the same affair. The evidence was partly heard, and the parties accused were admitted to bail for their appearance before the Commissioner on Wednesday week. The charges involved have reference to the issue of a patent.

The alleged attempt to bribe the Commissioner of Patents. --The charge heretofore preferred against John Henson, a citizen of Fluvanna county, to wit: that he did, in conjunction with one Hughes, a paten agent, attempt to bribe the Confederate Commissioner of Patents by offering him money to procure a favorable report on an invention, was yesterday finally heard before C. S. Commissioner Watson, and resulted in the sending on of Henson to be tried before the February term of the District Court. He was allowed to furnish bail. Hughes had previously been sent on for trail at the same term.
