   For the Boy, John, the property of the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad Company, who ran away from Decatur, Georgia about the last of May. He was last heard of lurking around the army wagon trains on the Pace's Ferry road. Said boy is very black, about five feet nine inches high, downcast look when questioned, feigns extreme ignorance at times, and talks very simple. He calls himself John Caywood and will probably claim to belong to Mr. Rosner. His wore off a pair of white ??? duck pants, plain camburg shirt and white wool had -- is a very dirty, slovenly negro, and walks with a sliding shuffling gait. He is well acquainted with the country from Decatur to Etowah and will probably attempt to make his way around the lines.
