Six Months Credit—Sale of Negros NOTICE TO PRINTERS, PLANTERS AND BLACKSMITHS. WE would call the attention of the public to a lot of negros (by a decree of Chancery) of-fered for sale on the 13th of this month, in the city of Vicksburg. They are perhaps the best lot ever offered for sale in this market ; and the owner wish-ing to be released from debt, the sale will be positive and certain. Among the number will be a first rate Blacksmith, (Matthew) about 25 years of age; sober, honest and industrious, has worked about 5 years in this city, and with other branches of his trade is perhaps the best horse shoer in the city and has been occasional-ly the head-workman of two shops at the same time, in town and country. Negro Caleb, is a Pressman, and has worked for the last 5 years in a printing establishment, and is a first rate roller and pressman, young, (about 20 years of age)stout, healthy and supposed to be capa-ble of doing any duty appertaining to the art, except the setting of type. He is now engaged in the Sen-tinel office, where he can be seen. Raymond, is stout and healthy, about 25 years old, has also some knowledge of the blacksmithing trade, sufficient for farming purposes; an excellent cook and good character. The men are all of good character, young, well grown, strong for farming or any laboring purposes. The women and girls are young, likely and well grown, accustomed to house work, good cooks, washers, ironers and seamstresses. They have all lived in this State four or five years and have been healthy. Any person wishing to purchase will enquire, respecting their uniform health, of the family physician, Dr. McGill, of this city. [sept 3
