Sent to Huntsville.
The negro from Huntsville, whose arrest here
we mentioned several days ago, turns out to be
the former body servant of Hon. Alex. H. Stephens.
He is a very black but extremely intelligent
negro, and speaks of his former master in a
very affectionate manner. He gives his name as
Pierce, and says that Mr. Stephens raised him
from a small boy, and was uniformly kind to
him from his youth up. He was with Mr. Stephens
at Richmond, and made mention of the
[trip?] of that gentleman to Fortress Monroe. He
deserted his master soon after the surrender, and
has followed a dissolute life ever since. He was
arrested here by order of a telegraphic dispatch
from Huntsville, which stated that a reward of
$100 was out for him. A pair of handcuffs
were placed upon him, and he was started to
that city on the train of yesterday morning, in
the special keeping of Captain Murphy, of the
police.
