A proper notice ofthe life and character OF

100 DOLLARS REWARD.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredercks-
~ burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford, 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 inquring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as person be
tween fifty and sixty years Of age, with re
markaby white hair; his stature stout and well
set. He wore brownish coored 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 a drawing manner of TALKING.
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is His name is Jack. His dress was g.
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 -pence-halfpenny. She is, as we'll as is
recollected, going on seven years of age; is re-
markedly long in her body; has a 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 age
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in
the proportion flour and two for the recovery OF
either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX

MIR. sPRAGUE's SPEECH.

After reading but a few. sentences of Mr..
SpaAeuE's recent speech on the Deposite Cues
ZION. we were forcibly struck with its excellence.
The farther we proceeded the more were we
neased, and we finished it satisfied that it is
one Of THE VERY BEST to which the occasion gave
rise. We commend it to general perusal. No
man.-we unhestatingly say,-unless his con-
science is steeled against the convictions of
truth. can resist the force of much that he says.
II Is a speech which is calculated to make a
man pause and think, and ask himself if he
does not fear for his country. Its language is
nlan. but strong and energetic: its facts are
nnanswerable-ts reasons most conclusive Mr..
Sprague breaches the true repabtican-if it
suits better, the true democratic, doctrine. He
uives a round, unvarnished history of the en-
croachments of Power, and a startling history
il is. Let it be read-let every American read
it. and then lay his hand upon his heart and
say if he can, that he approves of the present
downward course of things.
We givein to-day's paper considerable por-
ton of Mr.. Sprague's speech: we will give an
other portion when opportunity offers. We
could have nothing better to present to our
readers.

so contrived as to keep up blast, in ascending

its operation, and thereby enabling the smith to
make use of the hard coal. The blast can be

visible in the east, near the constellation
Taurus. AT this time, its distance from
the earth is forty millions Of miles. On
the 18th Sept. it will be only twenty-five
millions of miles distant: and from this
will become brilliant.
In the latter part of September, it will
enter the Twins, and on the lst Of Octo-
Der will reach within six millions ormiles
of US, tho fore feet Of the Great Bears,
where it no more sets. At this its bril-
lance and apparent magnitude will have
arrived at the highest degree. On the
9Th October, it will stand nearest the

In the beginning Of tho year 1886, it
