Fifty dollars reward.

--Ranaway from the subscriber, about the 1st of November last my negro man Charles. The above reward will be paid to any one who will deliver him to me, on my plantation in Halifax county, near Barkadale's Depot, on the Richmond and Danville railroad, or confine him in some county jail so that I can get him. He is about 5 feet 11 inches high, ginger-bread color; usually wears his hair plaited, and when not plaited has a full head of hair. He was bought recently from Col. James W. Twyman, of Madison county, Va, and it is believed he is making his way to his old neighborhood. My post-office is Whitlock, Halifax, Va.
