condition., and they are under The superintendancc OF
skilful Mining Agents.
There Is no service in which slaves are better treated,
,ed, Clothed, and attended in sickness, or enjoy better
health: a well conducted Hospital, under the care of
u careful Steward, and daily attended by three Physi-
cians, Is provided AZ the Mines; and owners Of slaves
may have them secured from all medical and surgical
charges by The payInr,it OF three dollars encli per annum.
No slaves are hired who are unwilling Ia enter the
CoHpiny's service, aud il - desired that none of bad
Character should be- offered, a the Ccmpsn nv are using
every effort 10 improve The moral character Of their own
slaves aud hrrtlings, 10 which end they have the pre-
sent year sold three ~disorderly men.
Tue slaves have a Church Of their own at The Pits,
ana divine service - regularly performed on The Sab
bath by white ministers. Al least one. half OF those
now IN The Company's service are temperance men, and
the use Of spirith0ns liquors hi,counl-nanced.
The Company feel grariiied III being able To any, That
their slaves aud hirrlinss are as orderly, wcil-brhavrd
aud moral, generally. M 4 like number of laborins men

slaves are better satisfied aud eonr~nted than coal min

The Comrany's apology for this prolix advertisement
is founded upon The ~prcprieiy OF freeing The Company
from the impniaIion that has far II long tine attached 10
incorporated Companies generally. as unworthy Of CON
tdencr, nnh Of aiding IN placing the coal mining opera
rutlOnS IN Eastern virginia IN Tho UTODrr DOslIlOu. Htl-
erto, al 4 distance from The mines, The pits have been
regarded As places where the worst slaves were con-
aregated, and considered as dens of vice, crime and
cfueltirs
An appeal is now made TO the owners of slaves
throughout Virginia, and they are advised, that what
has been sad u The Midlothian Coal Mines. and The
treatment al slaves and hlrelins5 there, is mainly appli-
cable Ia the coal mines of this section, consisting of
some dozen different establishments, where ow ners
have an ample selection in llSposing uf their slaves,
and where constant profitable employment may he
found. From one Ia two hundred hIrelings more than
are now employed may lind places, and the distribution
of from Si0,J0O Ia $40 900 for Ihat number oil slaves,
amongst iicir owners, fUrms an item that prudent men
owning unprodnctive negroes, ought not 10 disregard.
The lives OF Slaves hired 10 The Midlothian Company
can be insured at a Reasonable premium, ii desired by
the oNnuis.
