A CARO,— Jn crossing the Savannah river in the ferry boat from Hamburg to Augusta,on Satur day afternoon, May 30, I threw (by permission) my blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon of an individual, who, with his wife and a small child, was crossing at tiie same time. The wife knew of the fact, for it was to her I addressed myself. When 1 arrived at the landing, I came off leaving my eluak, which was carried off by the individuals a luded to. The lady, if I mistake not, told me they were moving from South Carolina to the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any kind friend could give me the clue to their names, the place to which they were travelling, so that may übtain my valuable cloak, he would confer aifc|yor upon one who at times is too forgetful for his interest, JAMES SEWELL. june >7__ {trlU.
