Wanted

--one hundred Negro men. We wish to hire for the balance of the year , one hundred able- bodied Negro men, to work at the Salt Works to Smythe and Washington retailer Va. We want them chiefly for wood-choppers and teamsters, and we will pay twelve dollars per month terms bound and clothing and pay travelling expenses to and from this place; also, the expenses of any master or agent who will bring all or more hands.

This action to perfectly quiet, but owners can remove their slaves from here whenever they form them in danger from the enemy.

We refer to McDaniel & Irby Lynchburg and Spolts & Marvey Richmond, who will pay hires monthly or quarterly.

We hope hands will be sent us at once without waiting for us to hunt them boys and indifferent hands not wanted.

Stuart, Buchanan & Co.
