MR. EDITOR -- I wish to inquire for my brothers Bill and Elijah. They left us in 1864 in Sunflower Co., Miss., and we have not heard from them since. There are six brothers and two sisters, We all belonged to Pitt Gillespie in Sunflower Co., and were named James, Henry, Elijah, Bill, Stephen, Peter, Hannah and Esther. We now go by the name of Johnson. Address me at Greenwood, Leflore Co., Miss. STEPHEN JOHNSON.
