SOUTHERN PLANTER— ADVERTISING SHEET. 



THE RICHMOND FEMALE INSTITUTE, 



Incorporated in 1853, by the Legislature of Va., was designed to afford to young ladies the- highest advan- 

 tages for learning. It owes its origin to a number of public spirited individuals, who have expended not less 

 than seventy thousand dollars, in erecting and furnishing the establishment. 



The course of instruction is extensive and liberal. The Faculty consists of five gentlemen and ten ladies, 

 wholly devoted to the work of teaching. The Institute numbered last year, (the second of its existence), 268 

 pupils. Most of them were from Richmond, attesting the high estimation in which the school is held at home. 

 The remainder were from twenty-five counties of this State, and from eleven other States of the Union. For

IMPORTANT SALE 

 Of Ileal Estate and 225 Negroes at 

 Public Auction. 



I offer for sale two very valuable estates in Lancas- 

 ter county, Va., on the Rappahannock and Corroi toman 

 rivers, known as Indian Town and Hill's Quarter, the 

 first containing 1620 acres, the latter 1473, chiefly low 

 grounds, and very productive in tiie staple crops of that 

 ^section. On these estates are beds of m\r\ and oyster 

 shells, with which they may be made as productive as 

 any in the State. 



Indian Town is now highly improved, and the other 

 rapidly improving, and lying as they do immediately on 

 navigation for vessels of the largest class, with a large 

 portion of forest, the timber and wood alone would read- 

 ily command a large portion of the purchase money. 

 The oysters and fish, for which Carter's creek is pro- 

 verbial, yields also a good revenue. I desire to sell the 

 estates with or without a force to work them, with the 

 growing crops and everything to stock them, and would 

 sell privately. If not sold however, will sell them to 

 the highest bidder, commencing at Indian Town, on 

 THURSDAY, the 14th day of August next, continuing 

 from day to day till comjdeted. 



Should the farms be sol J privately, with negroes, &c. 

 to stock them, still I will sell to the highest bidder, 

 commencing as above, at least 100 valuable slaves, to- 

 gether with a large amount of personal property, of 

 every description, on said estates. 



I will also rent for the ensuing year, or for a term of 

 year.*, the estate known as Corrottoman, containing 

 1785 acres. Also, would hire the force to work it, and 

 sell the growing crop. Will also sell the surplus 

 slaves. Also, all the stock of all kinds, farming uten- 

 sils, &c. 



And, on THURSDAY, the 4th day of September 

 next, at Laueville. near Warminster, Va., I will rent 

 out the Laneville farm, and with it hire a moderate force 

 to work it, and if the growing crop be taken, will sell 

 the stock of all kinds and other personal property. 



Also, at the same time, will sell some 40 or 50 slaves. 

 There are many valuable blacksmiths, carpenters, &c., 

 on all these estates. 



Terms. — The land and any negroes sold with it, on 

 long credit, if secured satisfactorily. The negroes for 

 cash. Other property six months credit. 



The managers on each estate will show them. My 

 addre-ss: Howardsville Va. D. J. HARTSOOK. 

 Aug It. Agent for Mrs. Mary W. Cabell. 



Postponement. — The above sales have been post- 

 poned. The sale in Lancaster County to the 4th Sep- 

 tember and the Laneville property to the Ist Septem- 

 ber, D. J. H., Agent &.C.
