NN 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
a stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession of the Slave and OF the Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House He is described to me as d person be-
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re-
markably white hair; his stature stout and well
set He wore brownish colOred stuff cloak.
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
wears of 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
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 or
four pence Ifpenny. She is as well as is
recollected, going on seven years ofage 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 ofone OF her eyes
an incison which was made year or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given tor
therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in
the proportion offour and two for the recovery OF
either JNO. TAf LOE LOMAA.

The long and troubled career ofthis gifted but
wretched man, approaches 10 close History, in
Its heightened gallery, has not single portrait on
which the student will gaze with more admiration
and regret, or the philosopher with more surprise
and doubt, than that of Aron Burr To this mo-
ment he is puzzle. The early part of his career
all brightness; and even up TO the moment when
caught in tolls of superior mind, he was dashed To
the EARTH blasted and destroyed--we know not
whether to admire or condemn. Even if his guilt
written the page of his country's history, in
coloSs too glaring TO be doubted-hs penance has
beeh long and bitter one. He has lived to see
his name shrouded in mfamy; coupled with the inn
precautions of his country, and held aott as n bea-
con light to guard the unwary from the wreck OF
ambition He has lived TO see and feel all this, To
creep where he has scared, to be the bect of pyns
andmsulting curiosity, or oiavered and scomu dis
trust, where once he was ~ first and the brightest
the centre of all hopes the observed of all observers
He has trod silently and distracted, around tn,
walking crouds of the metropolis of his country
earning his daily bread in bitterness of soul, anc
schooling his high and soaring spirit to endure il
its degradation, the mockery 4 scorn of his coun.
try, and his age. His story has parallel for sucl
IA picture-Camillus' discharge was brief and ter
minated by a glorious reward Marius left the ru
ins of Carthage to feed fat his revenge upon h
enemies; and even Belisarius was doomed to be-
his obous for few days, when death laid him il
an honored grave. But Burr has contemplated h
own ruin for more than quarter of a century--ha
had during that long and bitter period, the posonc,

PrGected Escape Of BOn0pdrte.--It is not gcner- |
ally known that vessel was undertaken to be built
at Batersea, by the renowned Johnsou the snug
gler, for the purpose of liberatng Bonaparte from
the Isle of st. Helena. The vessel about ninety
feet long, and of the burden of one hundred tons
1t built of half inch plank the grain of two of
such pi... t,,.,v, r,,,s,,,ur.
These panks well caulked and ccmented
together that the thickness of the sides of the vessel
did not exceed that of an ordinary washing tub The
mass were so contrived that they could be lowered
to q level with the deck, and the whole vessel might
be sunk in shoal water with the crew on board with
out danger.-Ample means were provided for sup
plying the vessel with fresh air. The plan was, I'd
sail up at night, within short distance of ST. Hell
ena and sink the vessel until the next sub
sequent night, when Bonaparte would be enabled to
make his escape to the beach, at which time the
sci to be raised, Bonaparte to get on board and
sail away in the dark. 1t happened, however, that
Bonapar,e died before the vessel was quite inished
and it is q curious coincidence that she was to be
coppered the very day the of his death arrived.
Johnson was to have received AZ, 900 pound when
the vessel had got into blue water exclusive of the
reward to be given in the enterprise succeeded.
This Johnson had previously offered his services to
the Admiralty, and affirmed that he could blow up
any ship without doing any hurt. Accordingly, n
trial was given him in the Thames accompanied by
a boatswain of one his Maesys ships, who had
been married only a week before, in a boat of SINH
I lar construction to the before described to q
barge moored in the middle of the stream They
sunk their boat, made fast the torpedo to the bottom
of the barge and lighted the match Johnson then
perceived that his vessel remained fast having got
las the sailors expressed m his cable athwart hawsc
of the barge. Upon which he pulled out his watch
and having looked at II atentively told the boat
swain that he had only two minutes and half to
live. Upon this the boatswan began to make griev-
Gus lamentations" Oh, my poor dear Nancy ~
said the boatswan; What will she say ~" A
vast blubbering," said Johnson. "Doff your Jack
ct and be ready to stuff IT into the hawse hole while
| cut the cable, Upon saying this Johnson seized
the axe and cut the cable. The boatswain stuffed
his Jacket into the hole and they got of the reacI
of the torpedo, which blew up the barge Portfolio
