Seventy-five dollars reward.
--Will be paid for the apprehension and delivery to Clopton & Lyne, of Richmond, of the boy Washington and woman Harriet, who are confidently supposed to be lurking about Richmond.--The boy was arrested in Richmond some three weeks ago, and made his escape from his guard after reaching Petersburg.
The woman Harriet Harriet was seen about Rocketts in the month of June.
Washington has been run away six months, and most of the time in the army about Richmond.
He is about nineteen years old; rather low in stature; of stout, strong form; very black; stutters quite badly, and in speaking is constantly kicking out one foot or the other in a restless manner.
His under lip hangs considerably.
He probably pretends to be free.
Harriett is the mother of Washington, and is about forty years old. She was hired in the West Point Hospital at the time that place fell into the hands of the Yankees, but probably made her escape to Richmond with our soldiers.
Twenty dollars reward.
--Ranaway, some time in August, from Mr. M. Baker, of Henrico, my man Oliver.
Said fellow is about 5 feet six inches high, rather stout, dark complexion, and, I think, one of his front teeth out. His countenance generally is rather stern, but when spoken to brightens up. I will give the above reward for his apprehension and delivery to Messrs. Clopton & Lyne, in Richmond, or confined in jail so I get him again.
L. Washington.

Fifty dollars reward.
--Ranaway, from the Henrico Poor-House, on the 9th instant, my negro man John.
Said fellow is about 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high, quite black, and is very stout, full face, and has but one eye, and is about 25 years Old. It is highly probable that he is lurking about in the city of Richmond or in Henrico.
If taken in either place, $25 will be paid, or $50 if taken up anywhere else and ledged in jail so I get him again, or if delivered to Clopton & Lyne, in Richmond.
