Five hundred Dollars reward.
--Ran away from Mr. Joseph P. Wiston, testing near erly in Fedfard county, Va, on the night of itself two slaves, named Jim and Ellen. Jim is nearly black, 22 years of age, of medium height and spare, is smart and brisk in his movement, and polite, having been accustomed to officers in the army and management of horses, is also a good hand on a farm. Ellen is 24 or 25 years of age, of bright brown color, well formed, but in stature, full head of hair, good set of teeth, and has been accustomed to washing and and waiting on ladies. These slaves were by me from Mr. John Taliaferro, near Va, where they were raised, and may be attempting to get back in that direction, or are trying to make their escape to the lines of the Yankees some other direction. I will give the above reward of $500 for both, or $250 for either of them, if confined in any jail in the State, so that I get them, or delivered in this city to Lee & Bowman, or to Jos. P. Winston, near Liberty, in Bedford county, Va., where the above reward will be paid by Mr. Weston, or if here by me.
