Seventy-five Dollars Reward.

--I will give for the apprehension and commitment to jail so that I get them, of negroes Pomphy, Jim, and William Henry, or $25 for each, who ran off — Pompey and William Henry on the 27th, and Jim on the 30th of December 1862. These negroes I removed from Williamsburg (my former residence) in May last, and doubtless they are aiming, through Petersburg and Richmond, to reach the Yankee lines in that vicinity, or to pass over James river below Petersburg.

Jim is a tawny color, about 20 years old, and Pompey a shade darker, 18 years old likely, talk, and well grown; each wore a cavalry uniform cap, and each had on wood in bottom shoes, and plated, Jim had on a pair of blue homespun pants, and Pompey a blue Yankee coat, and he has lately had one of his fingers (probably of the right hand) bruised or mashed, William Henry, a likely lad, about 14 years old, and of tawny color, is doubtless with Pompey.
