Just Arrived, 50 Negroes, I HAVE just received a lot of 50 Ne-groes direct from Richmond, Va., which added to the lot I had on hand, make a fine lot of 90 Negroes, consisting of Field Hands, House Servants and Carriage Dri-vers, Cooks, Washers and Ironers, one No. 1 Carpenter, two Blacksmiths, two fine Seamstress, several fine Ladies Maids and Nurses. Those wishing to purchase will do well to call soon, as I am determined to sell them as soon as possible at a small ad-vance on Richmond cost. JOHN D. JAMES. Forks Road, Natchez. March 29, 1850. 31-3t
