The great demand for labor, the high prices of all the necessaries of life, and the depreciated currency, all combine against the hirer, who, before the end of the year, may find a new and more valuable currency in circulation, and money much harder to get at. Regardless of these facts, families must secure their servants at once. Entirely without assistants for the Christmas week — for the hiring period universally ends with Christmas eve, when slaves are all free — with household matters deranged, and everything to put to rights for the beginning of a new year, cooks and chambermaids must be had, and those who can afford it will agree to almost any terms to secure what they need. Negro women will command from $150 to $300, and men will proceed by the $300, that being then as they wish. As the Governor to lead and clothe and pay the tax on each servant hired, he will find that each man will cost him from $1,000 to $1,20
