Forty Dollars Reward. CAESAR, a tall stout new Negro Fellow, no country marks recollected, absconded for the second time, after being absent about three months before, and taken out of the Work House in Charleston. He carried off his usual dress, a white negro cloth robin and trowsers, and a blue jacket, much worn, and osnaburgh trowsers, with a wallet; h has a remarkable down look and stoops in walking, his teeth filed and a considerable beard, speaks a few words bad English and will complain of having received bad treatment; he sometimes wears a cap and sometimes a hat, and frequently goes without either; he also had a blanket, for it is now known exactly what he carried off with him; his countrymen call him Fodey, to which name he will answer, though not as readily as that of Caesar.
