Nothing more at present but Remain your well wisher JOHN SCOTT. C. KITCHENS.—This individual took his departure from Milford, Del., where he was owned by Win. Hill, a farmer, who took special delight in having " fighting done on the place." This passenger was one of our least intelligent travelers. He was about 22. MAJOR Ross.—Major fled from John Jay, a farmer residing in the neighborhood of Havre de Grace, Md. But for the mean treatment received from Mr. Jay, Major might have been foolish enough to have remained all his days in chains. " It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good." HENRY OBERXE.—Henry was to be free at 28, but preferred having it at 21, especially as he was not certain that 28 would ever come. He is of chestnut color, well made, &c., and came from Seaford, Md. PERRY BURTON.—Perry is about twenty-seven years of age, decidedly colored, medium size, and only of ordinary intellect. He acknowledged John R.

Alfred is of powerful muscular appearance and naturally of a good intellect. He is full dark chestnut color, and would doubtless fetch a high price. He was owned by Mrs. Matilda Niles, from whom he had hired his time, paying $110 yearly. He had no fault to find with his mistress, except he observed she had a young family growing up, into whose hands he feared he might unluckily fall some day, and saw no way of avoiding it but by flight. Being only twenty-eight, he may yet make his mark. ISRAEL, was owned by Elijah Money. All that he could say in favor of his master was, that he treated him " respectfully," though he " drank hard." Israel was about thirty-six, and another excellent specimen of an able-bodied and wide-awake man. He hired his time at the rate of $120 a year, and had to find his wife and child in the bargain. He came from Alexandria, Ya. INTERESTING LETTER FROM ISRAEL. HAMILTON, Oct. 16, 1858. WILLIAM STILL—My Dear Friend:—I saw Carter and his friend a few days ago, and they told me, that you waa well. On the seventh of October my wife came to Hamilton. Mr. A. Hurberd, who came from Virginia with me, is going to get married the 20th of |
