We have received the enclosed letter in re-
lation to obtaining and forwarding English
laborers and settlers, and as we consider 1t q
matter of public interest to the South. we de-
sire that you would give 1t publicity. We have
also received many letters from persons re-
siding in some of the Northern and Western
States, making inquiries for lands that can be
purchased by actual settlers, as to their char
acter, location, price, terms, health, &C.; and
also Inquiries from others who desire to move
South, and obtain employment as agricultural
and other laborers, as to the amount Of wages
that would be paid, and other particulars.
With the view Of promoting immigration,
we invite all persons who desire TO obtain re-
liable white labor to send Ia their orders to
us, in conformity with the terms Of the accom-
panying letter, aud stating the amount OF
wages they would pay, and we will forward
their orders free Of charge.
We would also invite landowners In healthy
localities, who may desire to dispose OF lands
to actual settlers, to make propositions, giving
the number of acres, location, adaptation for
different crops, price, terms, character Tor
health, and all other particulars that may be
important, and we. will do all in our power to
carry out their views.
We are, very respectfully,

that there are no better and nobler set Of men
than the farmers sons, gardeners, &C., Of this
country, and now that the Alabama business
is settled, we can send you Just as many o.
the very best of these people as you can handle
Some have just enough to pay passage, others
not enough, requiring aid say to the extent o.
$40 each, to be paid out ofthelr wages. Some
have q few pounds to spare; again, some
others have quite pretty amount Of money,
saw $3.50 to $500. Some even $4,000 to $4,000
Now, II we can get you to aid some, say tc
the extent of ten dollars per head-that Is pei
adult-to be afterwards repaid, and for which
we take due bill, Ito be sent to you,) paya
BILE on demand, you can have all the good
square, honest, capable, sober, intelligent
hard-working people you want.

the purpose you have in view, and will send
the people to you by our line of steamships

and let US hear all you can do and will dc
for such people, as we may send you.
