Sixty dollars reward.
--Left my pits at Dover, 17 miles from Richmond, on the James River and Kanawha Canal, six negro men--William, John, Manuel, Sam, Harry, and Jacob--William is supposed to be with our army, probably as a cook, having acted in that capacity in some of the camps near Richmond; has his right eye badly burnt, and is 17 or 18 years old. John and Manuel were hired from Mr. Blackwell, a refugee from Fauquier county, who has the balance of his negroes near Columbia or Palmyra, Fluvanna county, where I think these two negroes are lurking.
Sam, Harry, and Jacob, I suppose, are in the neighborhood of Mr. Henry Satterwhite's, Hanover county, of whom two of them were hired.
I will pay $10 for the delivery of any of these negroes to me at my pits, or to J. F. Cottrell, on the Basin, Richmond, and I think it probable that the owners of these negroes would give a much larger reward than I have offered if placed where they could get them.
[se 15--3t*] John W. Cottrell.
Runaways.
--Absconded from the service of the James River and Kanawha Company, on Sunday last, two negro men, named Arthur and Edward.
Arthur belongs to Mrs. Ellis, in Spotsylvania county.
He is about thirty years of age, is of low stature, brown color, flat face, with a scar on it, and has one defective eye.
Edward belongs to Mrs. Randolph, in Fauquier county.
He is about sixty years of age, of low stature and brown color.
The company will pay what the law allows and ten dollars besides on each of these men, if arrested and returned to Mr. Smith A. Thorp, Master Carpenter, near the first lock on the canal, three miles above this city.
