Mr. Editor - I wish to inquire for my people who I left in Peters- burg, Va. I left at that time my sister with Henry Thornton. My name was George Thornton. I left my sister in the morning in the care of Henry Thornton. I left my mother in the evening at Peters- burg, her name was Serlena. My father was Jasper. I was there sold to speculators Tom Brown and John Booker. I was brought to Columbus, Miss., and sold, and I have not heard from my people since. I now go by the name of George Peden. I would be glad to hear from my people. Address me, care of J. L. Pratt, West Point, Miss. GEO. PEDEN.
