tn. name OF such person must be communicate
oil 10 the subscriber.
The society phys tho travelling expenses only
to stations along the South Carolina and Green

Upon the arrival OF tho immigrant the soc;e-

The wages of the immigrants will be fixed as

duction:
YIELD L,BoRERs.
1st. SINGLE LADoRER.-$l0 monthly, with
board. lodging and washing. mot required

2d. FAM1LIEs.-For man $40 monthly; for
workmgw0man So, will provisions. The en-
ploycr can either nave hc COOKING lone, or he
can give th"m rations and allcw the wife time
to cook.
The following rations have been proven by
last yenrs experience, to be sufficient for
man: Six quarts corn meal three and q half
pounds wheat flour, three and n halr pounds
meat, half pound coffee, one and half quarts
moIasses week, and some milk daily. For
woman: -Four quarts corn meal, two pounds
wheat Hour, two pOunds meat half pound col
Tee: one quart molasscs week. ind some milk
daily.
Should the employer prefer giving the family
money with which to procure provisions, the
amount fixed upon is about six dollars and
fifty cents month for q man, and four dollars
for a woman, with small garden, which must
be worked only in spare time.
Children, capable Of work, pust be paid ac-
cording to their services; andthe wages must
pc arranged between tho erapIoyer and their
parents.
All persons desiring mechanics must define
what wages aud conditions they are willing to
enter into with employees.
Unless differently expressed in the order, all
immigrants will consider themselves cngap ed
until Christmas, 1870.
The Immigrant, in cases of disagreement
with his employer, ehall always be allowed to
make his appt al to the society, which, II the
complaint ID we'll founded and cannot be nd :
justed, will proceed to obtain him another
place.
Employers would do we'll not to excite ey-
pectations by making tho immigrants any
promises, about the ful6Iment of which there
can be any doubt, AMI thus avoid one great
cause of discontent.
1t is advisable. the society thinks, to place
the laborer at tho very commencement Of his
service upon the very work he is to do, and to
see that he does 1t properly. This would do
much towards securing good and faithful
iaborer.
All letters, remitiances, &C.. must DO d.
rected to the subscriber, aud written in 10, i.
bic hand.
All orders must be given before the Goth of
October, 1863. +. W. BRUaaEMANN,
