One bitcoin address has one private key, so if you create new address, you will have a new private key.

What are you looking for?

Thank you for your answer, Because if I have thounds of addresses, means that I have to operate thounds of private key , It's very difficult to maintain. I did't use any wallet tool.But  now ,I think I will choose one.

You could just increment the private hex key. So you just store the original key but use it as a sort of seed for generating a bunch of other private keys and their corresponding addresses.

I hope that wasn't an actual private key for any bitcoins you own.  If so, those bitcoins will have been stolen by now.
