about the 1ssh Of August, 1907, a NEGRO
NAN. named TOM he is about twenty nine
or thirty years old, FIVE feet seven or eight in.
ches high, rather of yellowish complexion. has
scar on his right cheek, oceasi ned by the tooth
ache; he hus rather down coun,enance when
spoken to; and was purchased from Edward G.
Hill of SpottsyIvaxia County. by Benz Moore
who gave him to his son William Msorc, of
whom purchased him. II is very probable he
has obtained free pass. and is al this time in
Spot,ylvania. where I expec: his relations and
acquaintances are, or lurking about Richmond
He ran way about twelve months before his last
e'opement and crossed the Blue Ridge, and was
apfrehended in Berkeley County, & put in Mar
tinsbsrg Jail. He may have aimed for that
course again. but think j, most probable from
some circumstances that nc has gone below where
ne was raised. Any person thar will deliver the
s-.i negro to the subscriber living in Warmiu-
stery Nelson County, OF Capt. Benz amin NJ o e
living in Buckingham County, near the Court
house. shall receive the above reward. or l will
give twenty Dollars 10 any person who will ap-
prehend and secure him in any Jail, and give me
such inform zion SO that get him again. All

THE last wee.; has furni she'd a variety of
intelligence from different parts Of Enenre.
Tat from Italy and Spain represents the
French as having experienced partial de-
feat. In Portugal, Marshal Soui's army
has in part been destroyed and the remain
der dispersed.-The Austrian forces, since
their late defeat b. Bonaparte, are again
rallying, and appear determined to make
vigorous resistance.
Some accounts speak of Russia as being
France but we do not see much ground
for crediting it, Accounts from England
Of May 20,h, are silent as to any movements
on the the part Of Russia. II Russia was
about entering into the war, We should hear
something of the movements Of her armies.
