Fifty Dollars Reward.

WAS STOLEN from the pasture of the
w undersigned at his farm on Green
Bottom, between Saturday night August 9Th,
and Sunday evening, the 9th, at sunset, a
valuable three year old FILLY. She is dun
or iron-grey mare colt, three years old last
spring, with black name and tail, about fifteen
and half hands high; has quite prominent
scar upon the back part of one OF her hips,
oeeasioned by an injury when first stabbed to
break. She has also scar upon one of her
shoulders occasioned by an injury from work
ing. She has the marks Of the gears upon
her, as she has been worked this summer in
raising a crop Of corn She is rather large
and heavy set for colt of her age, and might
be taken at casual view for an older animal
She may be taken through Ohio to Gallipolis,
to be sold to the Government, or to the neigh
borhood of the Iron works in Kentucky, as
secessia assigns TO our region Of country, two
bands of notorious horse thieves, engaged
respectively in those trades.
/ Will give the above reward for the return
OF the Colt and the apprehension of the thief,
SO that he can be brought to justice; or one
half the reward, or twenty-five dollars for
either.
would invoke the attention Of gentlemen
engaged in the horse trade to this notice, and
particularly at the points designated.

The latest news from Charleston il

Minnesota has been ordered of to For

and / am unable 10 get possession of
them. We have had daily shelling Of
the rebel batteries, and an abundance
Of responses. but nothing serious has
occurred on either side. l, however,
send you hasty summary Of the pro-
gress Of affairs. The batteries Of Gen.
Gilmore on shore are Of the most ex-
tensive character, and most OF them
have been erected under cover Of dark
ness. as a precaution, so that the enc
my has no knowledge Of their positions
and will not till they open on them
We have erected an extensive battery
thoroughly en6lading the rebel bat
terry on James Island, which, in
measure. entiladed our principle work
and caused US considerable annoyance
before the projections were built for
the new one.
On Wednesday night one Of our
picket boats, the cutter Of the Wabash,
under charge of Acting Master Haines.
whilst cruising around Sumter, came
in contact with the rebel steamer Alice.
Mr.. Haines endeavored to board her,
but was run into and eleven Of his
twenty-three men were threwu over
board, and the balance OF his men cap
