WE are now prepared to procure the best
w English and Scotch laborers, help, me-
chanics. &c to any parties in the Southern
States who may wish them, and are prepared
10 advance the necessary amount, to pay their
passage 10 the United States, and TO the place
of their destination upon the following terms:
The parties wishing to employ immigrants
must send us definite orders, describing the
kind of laborers that they wish, and what they
expect them to do; also, what wages they are
willing to pay, either in money or share OF the
crop, and what further inducements they are
disposed to hold out to them. When the parties
are not personally known to US, 1t viii be ne
cessary for Them to get the certificate of the
clergyman in their neighborhO0d- When that
is done, send us an order on their merchants,
TO arrange the passage money, with the agents
of the vessels, that run from Liverpool to New
Orleans, to pay the passages ON the arrival OF
the vessel in port. | will be there TO receive
them, on their arrival and forward them to the
place of destination. The passage from Liver
pool to New Orleans, will be about 90, by sail
vessel. and about IS by steamer to New Orr
leans from Liverpool to Norfolk or Baltimore,
will be 60 6s and one cent per mile by rail to
the place of destination. My charges will be
SO for one person or $40 per family.
1t will take about sixty days from the time
orders are sentout, until the immigrants are
received at New Orleans or Norfolk. This is
the outside time. | would suggest to the large

fUe acres Of land. ON condition that they remain
with them five years, and discharge their du-
ties faithfully. This course viii make active
agents of each of them, and enable them TO
dispose of their large estates, to those who viii
become good citizens None but the best of
immigrants will be sent out. Such as can give
good references.
