EMIGRANTS AT NATAL
(Witness)
The German Immigrants introduced by Messrs. JUNG & Co are said to be settling down on their two hundred acre allotment with every appearance of a disposition to carry out the views of those with whom they have entered into a contract. The terms of their engagement are, as we understand, that the Emigrant is to enjoy two thirds of the profits of his industry, during a period of five years – the extent of his agreement. This first batch of Emigrants form a location of 30 families on a farm lately purchased from Mr. BOUCHER for the sum of £1,500, the highest price we have heard of being given for such a property in this colony, and a symptom of the confidence gained in the successful cultivation of cotton. At present the newcomers are engaged in erecting houses for themselves, and the addition of some thirty residences within hail of each other, and surrounded by cultivated fields, will exhibit such a scene as will contrast strikingly with the other denuded parts of our colony.
