NEGROES FOR SALE. I HAVE just arrived from Missouri with ten Ne-groes, which I will sell at a bargain for cash. I have several boys about 21 years of age that are very likely, strictly No. 1. One fine seamstress and house servant, very likely. Those who wish to purchase and will buy the lot I will most certainly give a great bargain. ASA Q. THOMSON. Forks Road, Natchez, May 2, 1848
