NEGROES FOR SALE. HAVING received an addition to my first lof of Negroes, I have on hand for sale a good lot of likely young Negroes consisting of field hands, house servants, seamstresses, washers and ironers cooks, carriage drivers, &c., &c., all of which I will sell on the most reasonable terms. My arrangements are so complete that I shall have regular receipts of Ne-groes during the season, and can order out from Rich-mond, Virginia, any particular kind of servants that may be wanted, at the shortest notice. Persons wish-ing to buy, or those who may wish any particular kind of servant that cannot be had in the market would do well to call upon me before they purchase. JOHN D. JAMES. Forks Road, Natchez, Nov. 21, 1848—c&wtf.
