Stop the Runaway! RANAWAY from the subscriber, in Port Gibson, on the night of the 20th instant, a negro man named ISAAC. Said negro is about 6 feet high, spare made, stands very erect, has rather a downward look, black, and speaks hastily. No marks up-on him are recollected. He has an old blue dress coat, which he probably took with him.—He is a blacksmith by trade. He may be lurking about Port Gibson, but it is believed that he has made his way toward Tennessee, from which State he was brought, and sold to Mr. F. B. Lee by a Mr. Y. Redman. A liberal reward will be given for his capture and delivery to the subscriber, or placed in jail where he may be secured by myself or Mr. F. B. Lee. JOSHUA KELLY. Port Gibson, Miss., August 1, 1851 49tf
