100 DOLLARS REWARD.

ON Tuesday morning between Fredericks-
" burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford, NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding, both belonging 70 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-
markedly white hair; his stature stout and well
set He wore brownish cOlored stuff cloak.
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years age, as we'll 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 a 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 -halfpenny. She is, as well as is
recollected, going on seven years of age; is re-
markably long in her body; has long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be dscerned in the film of one 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 LOMAX.

I1nitsd States. doubtless upon his authority, and
under his direction, has noticed two passages IN
nv late letter to Governor TazeWel Ii ala
not consider the Executive alone responsive,
would disdain to notice any .nihg p1oaGeulii
from the polluted receptacle of his vlndlctlve de-
nunciations.
It was at first my inclination, to notice, at the
same time. both of the articles in the oflclal pa
per of the 9TH instant will, however, refer to
only one of them now. | may consider the othef
hereafter.
The President has not denied aDhdt / did sag,
in INV letter to Gov. Tazewe that he gave me
an assurance that should have the mission TO
Russia;
But he has denied, 1rhat did not say, that ne
proposed to give the mission to Russia as the
price of my resignation as Secretary OF the
Treasury.
The President has not denied, that whilst
was Secretary fthe Treasury, he assured me
should have the mission to Russia;
But he has denied, that at any one or two
periods, fixed by himself he proposed to give
me the mission as the price of resignation.

and therefore repeat, what said in my letter to
Governor Tazewe, in such terms as shall not
warrant prevarication:
l. | aver, that the President did assure me,
that should have the mission to Russia
g. aver that, unless the President violated
his word, should have had the mission, if had
resigned.
The question, therefore, which ask the Pre-
sident to cause to be answered, is, whether ne
did or did not assure me, that should have the
mission to Russia? AS to his motives, he may
explain them if he pleases; and if he can per
suade others that they were not sinister, shall
be content
Ifhe shall deny that had his spontaneous
assurance of the mission, will submit such evi-
