PIT HANDS WANTED.

INHE Midlothian Coal-Mining Company wish
10 hire, for the balance of the year. from Is to
20 active abe-bodied Negro Men 10 work IN the
Coal Mines. For such, who are willing to enter
their service liberal hire will be paid. There
is no situation where slave labor commands as
high a price, and where slaves are better treated,
fed and clothed, and enjoy more health and con-
ten.ment The sick are provided suitable hos
pi,al under the constant care OF competent Stew
ard. ana daily attended BY at least two Physicians;
anil. when the owner prefers il, his hands can be
entered at an annual charge of three dollars each,
which secures him from all further charge Tor
medical and surgical services at the Pits.
The excess in price paid for labor at the Coal
Mines operates as ample insurance against the
accidents of mining
No case OF death, from any cause, occurred al
The Company mines where more than 100 hands
were employed, the past year-and although II
was an unusually sickly year, all around the
mines, there was almost an exemption from DIS.
ease at the pits.
II NAV be proper to add, that there is general
want OF pit hands in tins mining district-and
that when laborers become accustomed TO pit
work they prefer il to any other labor.
The certainty in the demand for the labor at the
coal mines, and The high prices uniformly paid,
with The advantage Of selecting situations al the
various pits, when contrasled with the low price
which such labor commands in agricultural. pur-
suits seem TO indicate that slave owners would
do we'll TO give the subject their serious attention
The withdrawal of some two or three men
from farm, 10 many instances, would not much
reduce its productveness-and by transferring
them 10 The coal mines, the farmers income would
