A Word of Caution,
tat Fobruary when tho excitement
1 by thellarpors Ferry invasion
(still high, we took occasion.to warn
Kioplo against tho pernicious pi ac-
of unguarded and indiscreet con-
Jition lieforo negroos upon tho sub-
|of tho slavery agitation. Wo are
lccd to call tho Attention of our
|ers once more to this subject, be-
3 many instances have came under
bwn observation and that of others,
I have spoken to us about it, where
recent disturbances in our own com-
bity has boon freely and fully dis-
edtfcflnre negroes in all its bearings,
i its origin in the abolition raovo-
|t at the North to its final consum-
i In a general servile insurrection
fie Southern States. It would seem
i that the evil wbioh must natural-
fed surely ensue from such a course
|d strike the most obtuso mind with
t force. We havo no doubt much of
discontent, insubordination and im-
fence which has become so com-
I among negroes, is the result of the
j practice. TThey imbibe the most
Jicous and absurd notions in relo-
I to the designs of the Blaok Rcpub-
1 party and the prospects of their
My emancipation by a Northern
j soon as that party shall come
■power. They.naturally concluded
■ all this insurrection excitement of
|h they hear white persons talk so
*i is but the beginning of tHo aboli-
I movement, and the idea becomes
i in their minds, and will require
8 perhaps to Jbo extirpated. The
fral consoquonco is they become
under restraint, disoontonted
1 many instances revenge them-
s for supposed wrongs.
P° Southern people ought to exer-
nore prudence and we urge suoh
|ay read this to put a bridle or their
i in the presence of negroes,—
lagerness with whioh they listen
lory word that is said, is evidonoe
1 they are on the alert • for informa-
land are deeply interested.

Editors or tuk Courier:—Tho re
marks in your last issue touching tho
insurrectionary movements rapontly
devolopcd in-this county, woro well; tim
ed and judicious.
This matter should not bo suffered to
die out without being sifted to tho hot-
tom, and the guilty partlos, white or
blaok, in arty manner connected with it,
seriously dealt with.
As to tho boy Groon who so obstinate
ly and defiantly acknowledged his guilt,
and persisted in his intention to carry
out tho prqjoot of wholesale murder
and butchery, Wo aro profoundly aston
ished that any number of citizens could
liavo boon found willing to turn loose
tho sooundrel upon the community.
Wo sincerely hope that the judicial
investigation to tako plaoe on llio first
Saturday in Sept., will disclose some
extenuating faots or circumstances in
behalf of tho parties connected with
this affair. As tlioro are many * rumors
afloat, and probably many things linvo
been improperly represented, it would
perhaps bo best for the citizens to. sus
pend any further action in tho mnttor
until after the judicial investigation is
past.
With regard to paying the ownors for
their slaves in tho evont of their execu
tion, it is not likoiy that tho citizens
will now.con tribute to that object, how
ever, cheorfully they would liavo dono
so, had tho ownors promptly dclivorcd
them up to tho authorities at first.
Mr. HollVp’iatlbrin.
Undor tho abovo caption tho Burling
ton (Vt.,) Free J*rcss,' a Black Republi
can paper, says the collection of extracts
from Mr. Boll's letters and speochos
with a record of somo of his votes on
public questions, recently published' by
tho Central Union Committeo of Ten
nessee, is a tolerably co/root ropiesen-
tation of his views, as is fairly inferred
from the fact that ho refers Mr. Watis
to this compilation.
Tho Press says Mr. Watts carefully
examined the sainonnd published a
summary of the positions therein taken,
which is the same wo gavo our renders
soon after it appeared.- And the Press
taunts *ho supporters of Mr. Boll witli
Ids pro-slavery proclivities, wliUo South
ern papers denounce him as unsound
on this question. Who will sottlo tho
question? .
Not a Curiosity*
On mouday afternoon we rocievcd a
mossago from our friend who invited us
to tho wntermolon feast last week, to
“come up there mid help him cat a fine
cake.” Wo said wo were afraid tlioro
was meal in.it, but being assured to tho
contrary we went. It was with many
forebodings that wo saw tiio knife glide
through the snowy and elaborate orna
ments on (ts surface, and it was not un
til wo had tho additional evidence of
our sense of tasto that wo were fulr
ly convinced tliatoursight luidnot been
deceived. This was also from “the la-
dies," and was tho best proof that they
could make excellent cake ns well ns
play a capital joke. Wo froely forgave
them tho latter and will ever “bless
their sweet souls.” As to our host, we
will always bo his friend as long as he
is such a favorito with tho ladie*.—
Long may he wavo.”
The Temperance Cause.
Tho Temperanco cause which for
a while seemed to liavo died out, lias

every meeting. It is in a flourishing
condition and its friends are greatly
encouraged at tho prospect of accom
plishing much good in reclaiming from
ruin tlioso who by their own resolution
nlono cannot resist tho temptation
which continually presentsdUelf. Wo
call tho attention of our citizens to this
society in our midst and bespeak, their
good will and material aid.

Steward of tho Deaf and Dumb Asylum
at Cavo Spring calls our attention to an
error in the statement, taken by us
from the Augusta 1 rue Democrat, of the
recent accidont to Miss Slack. It was
not caused by tho oxplosion of a cam-

cy Adams, the people the United States,
•who hurled him from jmcer and from place,
are calling to the head of tho nation,to the Very
seat from which hr. was expelled, Abraham

claim to that seat is that he confesses the obli

which the Sage qf Quiney proclaimed, and
that he avows himse(f\ for weal or wife, for

Negro Conspiracy in Ilallfhx County,
Va. Four Killed and one Danger*
ontly Wounded. .•
One of tho most daring tonspiracles
by. nogroes to murder a white uian that
wo over beard of, enmo to light in Hali
fax county, about., fifteen miles from
Danville, on Wednesday or Thursday,,
for the particulars of whioh wo aro in
debted to Conductor Cheatham, of tho
Richmond and Danville Railroad.
Mr. Samuel Hairston, a wealthy fur
or in Haliftix, 1ms an overseer on ono
of his plantations who is a strict dis
ciplinarian, and a man of grout firm
ness. Qn tho day in 'qiiosuon, wliilo
tho overseer (whose name wo could not
learn) was sitting in his oflico, six stout
negro follows employed on the farm
called upon him, and after informing
him that a party of negroes in the
woods near by was preparing for un in
surrection, invited him to go with them
and witness tho plan of operations.—
Not suspecting that they lind any de
sign upon him, but being anxious to
capture the ringleaders of the rebels, if
ho should seo them, ho stopped into
anotlier room, armed himself with a
five-shooter, and then started oil’ with
the assassins, tlioy not knowing that ho
is fully prepared for any emergency.
The negroos led tho way until get
ting ihto the forest som$ distance,when
they suddenly stopped near a newly
dug pit, when tho spokesman confront-
od film, and, pointed to the hole,said to
him: “Thero is your grove. Yon have
but fifteen minutes to make your ponce
with God.” Quick as thought the
overseer drew* his Colt’s revolver, killing
four of tho ruffians dead at his feet,and
shot the fifth ono in tho abdomen, seo*;
ing which, tho sixth took to his hcols
through the woods, and the ove ; rHeer
having no other weapon, ho escaped.
The impression prevails that the six
negroes had determined to niurdor tho
overseer, because of some deserved
.punishment one or more of thorn bad
received, and laid tlie abovo plan to get
him off in tho woods to effect their
ends. His presence of mind in taking
his pistol, and his coolness in tho hour
of danger.-’when no white porson was
nigh to aid him, doubtless saved him
from a horrid death.—Richmond Dis

Origin of tho Massacre of Christinas
nt Damascus*
Tito imraorliato cause of tho nmssa-
cro at Damascus is thus stuted by
a correspondent of tho Boston Trav
eler, undor dato of Boy rout July 14,
1860.
On Monday, tho 10th inst., childron
who had beon making crosses in tho
mud, and otherwise insulting the
Christians of DumnBcus, woro nrrested
by tlie Governor, and after a short im
prisonment woro Bont to swoop tlie
streets of the Christians, This step was
the alleged cause of tho outbreak, nnd
every Frank considered it but a part of
tho genoral plan to produoo the re
sult whioh I am about to communicate.
A mob of about five hundred persons
rushed to the relief of these childron,
and attacked tlie Christian quarter at
two o’eloek 1’. M. At this hour tho
Christian merchants wero. away from
their houses in the business part of the
oity, and were unable- to reach tltoir
families aftor the breaking (orth of the
insurrection. The signal of death and
destruction having thus beon given,
tlie work of slaughter commenced, and
at the dato of tho . latest advices,
yesterday, at three P.,'M.,- tho work
of murdor and pillage was still going
. IfifTho best mot of tho season was
mado during tho Japanese procession,
by a gontleman who noticed tho yellow
kids displayed l»y tho Common Council.
“Ah ! here,” ho exclaimed, “como the

Democrats OotNo fqr Bell.—Tho
Rockingham (Vn.) “Registor” contains
a communication from Charles Grattan,
Esq., who was a Democratic Represen
tative in tho last Legislature, from
which wo take tlie following significant
extract:
Now, sirs, our object is to defont the
Republicans, and for ono I ntn willing
to seo that done by Boll. Of course I
should prefer a Democrat, hut oven
supposing tiio worst phase tiio enso can
assume, we will havo a Southern than
infinitely preferable to Linooln, nnd in
all probability a Democrat. IIow is it
to bo authoritatively understood who
thnt strong man is, without a genoral
consultation ? It suroly can do no
harm; it is opon to overy element, of
good. I am very decidedly opposed to
that double ticket nrrangemont which
has been spoken of. I sincerely bolievo
it will lose us tho State.’ Already I son
many, of tho gray-headed- fathers' of
tho Democracy going off, because they
cannot remain in a house dividod
against itself, and against which the
judgment of heaven lias boon pro
nounced.
A Fapt for Consideration.—The
Chineso are a proud nation, and natur
ally enough; Their language lids exist
ed four thousand five hundred yoars,
nnd'cvorybody roads it. Our language
is a languago of yostovday, A person
who lived in tho Island of Great Britain
eight hundred years ago could not un
derstand ono of us, nnd wo could not
make ourselves understood by him.—
But Confucius wrote six or seven hun
dred years before Jesus Christ, and ids
languago is read, not by fifty or sixty
millions who' understand tho English
language, but by fivo hundred millions
of the human race. _What a wonderful
