80 NEGROES FOR SALE. I HAVE just received information that I shall have to arrive here on the first of March, 40 Negroes direct from Richmond, Virginia, and also 30 more to arrive about the 15th of March, of all description of servants. I have twelve on hand of my former re-ceipts, all of which I will sell as low as can be pur-chased in any of the Southern markets. Persons wishing to buy would do well to call on me before they purchase, as I like to sell quick for small profits. JOHN D. JAMES. Forks Road, Natchez, Feb 25, 1848. N. B.—Theabovenamed forty Negroes which were expected March 1st, have arrived, and are now offered for sale at the Forks of the Road, near Natchez. March 2. J. D. J.
