$100 reward.

--For the delivery to one of my Carriage Driver, Beverly. He is twenty-seven years old; color, black; six feet high; face covered with short beard, and moustache; large eye-brows and curling eye-lashes. He probably travels in dark grey mixed summer coat, or blue cloth with brass buttons, and carpet-bag. He says he was read Shakespeare, and may travel with a forged pass, and shave off his beard when he made this. He has relatives at Dr. R. H. Steward King George, and at Mrs. Dr. Frank Taliaferro, in Oranges, with whom he has been secretly corresponding by letter. His object became evidently to escape, he is doubtless lurking about the shore of the Potomac, or making his way forward, and may be about our encampment, the above reward will be paid if caught near fifty miles from Fredericksburg; other case, $50 [au2 — 2w*] A. N. Bernard.
