ON Tuesday morning. between Fredericks-
~ burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen by man who seems to have been
stranger in this part Of the country. When
seen in possession of the Slave and ofthe Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as person be-
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re-
markably white hair; his stature stout and well
set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years ofage, as well as is remembered; stout in
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high has drawing manner Of talking,
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a
blue cloth cap, grey great coat and his under
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is fine large sorrel, without any
spot Of white about her. unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre of
the forehead, not covering more than the size Of
a four-pence- penny. She is, as well as is
recollected, going on seven years ofage; is re-
markedly long in her body; has long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film ofone of her eyes
an incision which was made year or two ago
to cure the hooks
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery Of the above Slave and Mare, or in
the proportion offour and two for the recovery of
either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAA.

all day, listening to an Incidental debate which
sprung up on Mr.. Selden's presenting the New
York Memorial. Mr.. Wilde made very hand
some speech Mr.. Polk rallied the party, and
at the close of the discussion they came up gal
antly and defeated the movement OF the friends
of the Memorialists by majority of seventeen
votes In this debate the facts-the reasons

MIR. Selden: and yet, see how promptly the par
~ call of Mr.. Polk was responded to! See how
readily his few words, 81 wing the cue, were an
swered by the votes Of the supporters of the Ad-
minstratiOn!
For myself do not think that any thing at
all will be done. My own opinion is, that Con-
gress will permit the present plan to go on as
commenced by the Secretary of the Treasury;
that the country will bear and suffer on until its
suffering will compel men of all parties to unite
hereafter in the determination again to restore
sound circulating medium; that by that time
the Presidents term will be out, and that his
successor will go into office under the influence
