DEAR EDITOR—I want to find my brother Abraham Stewart. We belonged to Robert Malloy in Louisiana. He went off with Gen. Banks troops in 1862, and we were brought to Texas, and have not heard from him since. Ten other slaves belonging to the same master went with him. I will pay ten dollars to the finder of my brother. WASH STEWART. Williamsburg, Texas.
