Seventy dollars reward.
--Ran away from the Third Section of the
James River and Kanawha Canal, about the middle of July last, a bright mulatto man, named William.
He has a bushy head of hair, a smiling countenance and polite manners; is about twenty-four years old, and five feet ten or eleven inches in height.
He belongs to the estate of
Dr. J. L. Trent, deceased, of
Cumberland, and may have gone to that county or to
Richmond, where he has relations, or made his way to some military station, as he was last year in the service of
General Longstreet, and acquired a fondness for camp life.
He had some military clothing with him. He has a rupture, which may serve more readily to identify him.
The above reward, and reasonable expenses will be paid for his delivery at the office of the James River and Kanawha Company in
Richmond; at the plantation of
J. Robertson, seven miles below
Lynchburg; to the undersigned, or any agent of the
Company; or half the sum for such information as may lead to his recovery.
