few New York farmers have settled among Us
and in the adjoining counties They have found
by this time that their superior mode Of cultivation,
and all their boosted northern management, was
more ideal than real. They find now that the negro
is the best aborer, and the most faithful-that the
way to benefit him is to hire him and treat him
well. The best kind of laboring farm hands may
he hired annually at from $40 to sos per annum.
The hiring takes place at New Years day.
Ii northern farmer moves to Virginia he had
better rent land at first and purchase, not, after
wards; some gentleman have purchased, and ii
forced to sell, IT would be at great sacrifice. The
anti-Ienters would do well to move down among u.s.

In Virginia we are exempt from the fanatcism of
