Absconded Slave--$25 reward.

--Left my place on James river, upper end of Henrico county, on Sunday last, June 24, 1862. without any cause, my Servant Man, Cornelius, commonly called Buck. He is about 25 years of age, rather small, well made black, good teeth, likely, and no marks; about 5 feet 7 inches high. He is no doubt lurking about Richmond or endeavoring to get employment as servant in some of the camps, having many acquaintances among the servants in Richmond, but in no other place. For his safe delivery to Blair & Chamberlayne,or placed in jail so they get him, they will pay the above reward.
