Madison is slave belonging to SAM
uel 6. Blanchard of New Orleans.-bu
been here some time running at lsue
and II we are correctly informed, was sent
here 10 avoid a prosecution in New
Orleans. He"is stout copper coIo,a
man, near 6 feet high, about IS ve,n
old, very bold and impudent in his man
ner. We understand that short i'm.
since, he took trip, on his own hook
to Galena and Chicago, and lately r.
turned to this city. 1t is believed b.
left here on the Wednesday following
the murder, on board the Missouri for
New Orleans. @.gg -
Brown is dark mulatto, abou. 5 feet
10 inches high, about thirty years d
age, and it is said resided in Cincinnati
He seems to have been here very short
time. He was seen on board the God
dess of Liberty, bound for Cincinnati.
James Seward alias Sewell, is a dark
mulatto, about S feet inches high, sop,
made, and bold, cunning and very well
educated negro. tits said he reads and
writes very well; is originally from New
York, has resided at New Albany, was
last summer on board the sleambosi
Agnes, and during Madison's soioun
Chicago was with him there. He il
supposed to have left on board h.
steamboat Atalanta, for the Ohio river.
Warrick was a barber, and has KEEP,
shop Tor some time past in this city, on
Franklin Avenue. He is very dar!
mulatio, slender made, about 5 feet Q G
10 inches high, aged about g.. and re-
markable for a bold, independen. and
naughty manner. He, believed that he
left on the sOmego, bound up the Mir
souri, river, and that his purpose was y
join the company going 10 The ROCKY
Mountains. -, -.
Officers have been despatched in al
the directions named, and it is REASONABLE
to presume that they will be apprehenS
ed. Should they unfortunately fail, its
to be hoped that all good citizens d
every quarter will lend their energies 10
apprehend them and bring them; to pun
tshment. Ennis the witness, will remaa
in custody. ert.s T. s.sst.s ~
II would be invidious in us to besDE
praise on any5of the officers who haH
been engaged in this affair. The Two
Constables Of Alton, the Mayor and city
police, the city constables and sever
citizens have spared mo pains, troublsG
expense TO ferret out the guilty, and W
trust that they will, in addition to the Re-
ward; enjoy the pleasure Of seeing Them
suited majesty Of the law, fully atoneafa
