Ran away.--$150 reward.

--Ran away from Reedy Bottom, near New's Ferry, on the Richmond and Danville Railroad, three negro men, CÆSar, George, and Hillary, all young, between the ages of twenty and twenty five years.--Cæsar and George are about five feet three or four inches high; the former has a dark, smooth skin, and a very pleasant face; the latter is of a brown complexion, large eyes, and speaks rather slowly. Hillary is yellow, about five feet high, I suppose, and has rather a dull appearance. I think it probable that they are endeavoring to make their escape to Yankeedom. I will pay the above reward of $50 each if taken out of the county, or half that amount if in the county, and delivered to my overseer at Ready Bottoms, or confined in jail until I can get him.
