Looking for the Children.

Aunt Cynthia Scruggs, formerly a slave of Nathaniel Scruggs, of Jackson county, Mo., now lives in this city. She had three daughters, named respectively, the oldest, Francis Ann, a slave of Henry Chick ; and Virgin Mary and Tamantha Jane, slaves of Rev. Thomas Johnson, now deceased. These children were all sold before the war, and have gone the old lady knows not whither. She is very anxious to find out something concerning them, and takes this means of making her wishes public. We hope our brethren of the press will pass this round, and if anybody knows where the girls--grown up women by this time--are, they will do a kindness to the mother by publishing the fact, or sending to her at Lawrence, Kansas.
