Fifty dollars reward.

--Just after the evacuation of Westover by the enemy a negro man of mine, by name Israel, was captured near Evelynton by some of our troops. He was seen in their hands by the overseer who had charge of him, and by several of the neighbors who knew him. I supposed Israel was carried to Richmond Israel is about 22 years old, very black and likely about 5 feet 10 inches high. I will give the above reward for say information which will lead to his recovery. Address Old Church P. O. Hanover county, Va.
