Named Entity Results, Henrico (Virginia, United States)

Death of Mr. Taylor. --John O. Taylor, Esq., who was shot by Joseph Bernard, in Henrico county, over two weeks ago, died on Sunday night, about 10 o'clock.

His examination will probably take place at the County Court-House, on Wednesday.

To the people of the county of Henrico.--fellow-citizens: Many gentlemen, some from each political party, have called on me in person, and some have addressed me through the newspapers, requesting me to become a candidate for the Convention. A seat in the Convention is not to be declined, because it will be one involving great responsibility; and, in times like the present, no Virginian is at liberty to decline any responsibility which the people may choose to impose upon him. For the same reasons, it is to be assumed, with great diffidence, I had, therefore, made up my mind to make no public response to these applications, although deeply grateful for the kindness and confidence which they evince, and to leave the matter wholly to the people to dispose of as they pleased.

I am unwilling to be to any extent instrumental in dividing the votes of those who believe in the necessity of the prompt and decisive action of Virginia in the present crisis, when such division may tend to the election of some one not sufficiently alive to the imminence of the danger by which we are surrounded. I trust the citizens of HenriHenrico will concentrate their entire vote on some worthy citizen of their own county, who will not pursue that dilly-dally policy, so well calculated to deluge the fair plains of the South in the blood of civil strife. Above all things, do not send to the Convention one who believes that under Black Republican rule we shall be "in no

Runaways. $20 Reward.--I will give $20 reward for the return of my Negro Man, "Washington," who left my house, in the lower part of Henrico county, on the morning of the 17th inst., without leave or provocation. Washington is about five feet 8 or 9 inches high, very black, about twenty years old, and has very white teeth, and smiles very pleasantly when spoken to. He will probably have a forged pass in his possession, as he can read and write. I will give the above reward for his return, me at my house, or if he is secured in jail so that I can get him. L. S. Courtney [ja 26--1w*]
