Great Excitement about Negro Insur
rections.
On last Friday a card ivns posted on
our Post Ofllco door, warning the peo
ple to bo on their guard ugainst an in
surrection of the slave population to
take placoon Sunday the 26th, and say
ing a plot had been discovered in this
county a few miles this side of Adairs-
villo, and confessed by somo of the no-
groes. On Saturday a mooting of our
citizens was called and tho particulars
detailed to them by a messengor from
tho sceno of excitomont. His story was
that a suspected nogro had been closely
watched by tho patrols and was over
heard talking with others nbout tho
proposed insurrection, and on being
arrested made a full confession. II©
said tho plan of operations was nil ar
ranged, and tho timo appointed; that
at li o’oclock on Suuday morning they
wore to meet at Rush’s Chapel, about
seven miles above Romo, and march up
on this place, and thero was to bo a
general rising all over tho country. Ho
went so far us to name a largo number
of negroes who woro implicated—tho
number and kind of arms they had in
thoir possession and the names of thoir
owners—and stated that a boy in this
place had furnished or would furnish
thorn with ammunition, and would al
so moot thorn on their way to Rome.—
It was mentioned in tho mooting that
the day appointed, was the samo speci
fied by tho boy Green, in a different
part, of this county three ,, weeks ago,
whose arrest and confossion wo gavo an
account of nt tho time. These and a
number of other loss important circum
stances convinced the citizens that pru
dence at least required nn investigation.
bo hasty; that they will not proceed to
sovorc measures unless they have con
clusive proof of guilt. And especially
do we hope they will no* endeavor, by
punishment, to compel a negro who has
been heard merely to, utter a suspicious
remark which docs not necessarily con
vict him, to divulge something, foi in or
<(er to escape ho may say n groat deni
tlmt is not true and implicate many who
are entirely innocent. Wo throw out
those hints for tho wise to reflect on.
Correction.
Wc find that a number of persons
havo misconstrued the spirit, at least,
of the suggestion wo mmlo on tho 21st
in®t„ that a subscription equal to tho
vnlito of tho negroes implicated in tho
insurrection plot in Texas Valley, be
raised to be paid to thoir owners in tho
event the offenders should bo nrrosted,
convicted and hung. We did not make
tins proposition bccauso wo believed
tlioso gentlemen woro entitled to, or
deserved remuneration for tho loss of
their property—ns would bare been the
caso had they promptly delivered the
negroes into the custody of tho law;
but becauso wo boliovod that it was a
mutter of so much importance that
these villains should be brought to jus
tice, that wo woro in favor of using
all possible means, nm the one ire suyycst-
*/, in order to securo their nrrost.
Wc know of no measures tlmt have
ns yet been taken for this purpose, and
we cull tho attention of tho Vigilance
Conunitteo to the nintter nn-J urge them
to tnko it in hand ami do us they may
proper. Wo want to soo that
boy Green taken. Ho is too grand a
scoundrel to bo turned looso upon nn
unsuspecting community to ruin tbeir
negroes and perhaps burn their dwel
lings.

timos to stop, which they refused to do,
and observing they were fast gaining on

man, belonging to J. C. Barnett, lvsq.,
of Madison, Ga., and hirod by Mr. G.

threatening to shoot him if bo resisted,

and thought they were after him again
whon hailed by. tho guard. Jle says
tho person ho was with was a negro
whom ho had never seen boforo.
A Vigilanco Committee wu» appointed, offcot , hIs
composed of many of our oldest and | qq ie other individual was run out of
most cautious citizens, and tho nogro 1 town for about a mile hut escaped
in this place who had boon implicated,
was ordered under arrest until tho sus
picions concerning him had boon clear
ed away.
In tlio afternoon'a committee who had
been sent to the neighborhood, whero
the negio had mado disclosures, return
ed and reported that a thorough inves
tigation had been mmlo and nothing
discovered to confirm Ills statements.—
During tho day a man, recently dis-
charged from tho Penitentiary, was de
moted in nn attempt to instil wrong no
tions in tho mind of a tiagro, who in
formed against him, ami bo bad also
swindled nnothor nogro by passing on
him a bill on a broken bank. IIo had
with him a white boy about fifteen years
old whom ho had no doubt enticed
away, and mado a partner in liis rascali
ty. They woro brought bclbro the
Vigilance committee who thought thirty
nine laslios and a half shavon bond was
not too heavy a punishment for tho ol
der one. The boy was released with a
fright that will be. of service to him in
Ills future choice of companions. On
Saturday und Sunday nights tho city
was well guarded by tlio military, and
ovory precaution taken to prepare for
anything that might happen. Tlio ex
citement in the county, and wo learn in
Cass, Gordon and Whitfiold counties al
so, had risen to a considerable pitch,
but not the first act of insubordination
among tho negroes occurcd to disturb
the security of tlio people.
Now with regard to this affair wo
wish to add a word or two. Although
we. tiro satisfied now that there was no
real cauBO for alarm, still with all the
facts which had come to thoir knowl
edge, many of them corroboiating each
other, and the recent developments in
Texas and other parts of tin country,
tho citizons could not have done other
wise than adopt such measures as they
did. And they will beserviceable in oth
er respects,if they did not quell an insur
rection. There are, perhaps, somo few
negroes who are ready for anything of
this sort, and there aro certainly mean
white men etfdekYoving to render them
discontented with their lot and prepare
them for insurrection ; but we liavo no
idea that'our negroes, as a class, or any
considerable number of them would en
ter into a movement of this kind. 4Ve
would therefore earnestly impress upon
the minds of the people the importance
of acting with ft great deal discretion
and circumspection. Thoir minds ore
now in a high state of excitement, and
they may be led to steps, which may
cause much undeserved punishment
and suffering. The negroes of courso
havo hoard of all that has happened
and doubtless very much exaggerated.
They_ will talk it over among them
selves, and detached portions of their
conversations being overheard, it may
bo rashly concluded that they are guil
ty of plotting, and made to suffer severe
ly for it. We hope tho people will not

Melancholy Accident.—On Saturday
afternoon James Scoggins, of this coun
ty, went homo intoxicated, and wishing
to discharge a loaded pistol,fired it from
the houso into tho yard. The ball en
tered tho body of his little daughter '
about five years of ago, whom he did
not seo when ho shot, and in about half
an hour sho diod. The verdict of tho
Coroner’s inquest was in accordance
with the foregoing facts. It is a solemn

A Stkant.k Bedfellow.—Mr. A Mrs.
McCann, living on MeGavock street,
Nashville, retired to bed on Sunday
night, and were there visited by a streak
of lightning. Their little girl was also
ill tho bed. Tho lady states that to all
appearance tho lightning entered by the
chimney fluo, and was attracted to tlio
bed by an iron rod ijsed for tlio mos
quito bar. Tlio entire foot of the bed
was shattered into a thousand pieces,
and yet. despite thoir intimacy with the
dangerous element, the occupants of
the hod were not injured. The gentle
man, however, says that it woke him up,
deem highly probable.—Any.
lather in tho “Confederation”— • hat lie
came to resent the insult offered to lain
—and that ho warned him to defend
himself. Mr. Yancey then struck at
Col.Seibels repeatedly, with an ordina
ry sized cane, but the Colonel kept his
large open umbrella in front, so as to
lend off, and pushed him forward,
evading any haul blows, until the cov
ering was knocked from tho umbrella,
und at last used the haiullo as quite an
cilicicnt weapon. A few blows and a
scufHo ensued, and the parties were sep
arated by a policeman. Botli came oil'
bruised, and Col. '.Seibels blooded und
worsted, by a severe cut across tho oyo
and temple. Our young friend Yancey,
although incoiiipfuobly smaller, than
the lingo “Belgian giant,” was hut
slightly hurt, and bore himself gallan

Lord Brougham's Insult lo Mr. Dal
las.
Is the pointed itiMilt leveled at the
United States by Lord Brougham, at the
Statistical Congress oil Monday, to bo
made an international question? No
ono could mistake the aim of il.o re-
k thrown at the head of Mi*. Dallas,
n Lord Brougham challenged him
to notice the presence of a negro. Now,
either that fact was presumed to bo of
fensive to Mr. Dallas—in which case to
attention to it v.us in itself an of
fence ; or it was not supposed to be of
fensive, and in that ease Mr. Dallas was
suddenly and uneourtcously called upon
to do pcimuco for tho suspected preju
dices of his countrymen. Jt is dilicult
to reconcile such aii act with kindness,
courtesy or decorum. Mr. Dallas atten
ded at the Statistical Congress as the
Representative of the United States;
tito aggressor was a member of the
House of Lords—lie lias been Lord
Chancellor—and tho attack was mado
before the Prince Consort, who was
Chairman on tho occueioii. Indeed,
the attention of his Royal Highness was
specifically drawn to tho outrage by the
person who was tho immediate subject
of Lord Broughutn'spredicate; the gen
tleman in black asked especial permis
sion of tho royal Chairman to thank
Lord Brougham. All circumstances,
thorefore, mo of a kind that would jus
tify the Government of tho United
•Stales in demanding a formal apology,
either from Lord Brougham, for his
wanton escapade, or from tho nresiding
authorities of tho arena in which the
outrage was pcipetratod. Tho authori
ties are tlio moro bound to take some
notice of tho occurrence, since wo arc
inclined to suppose that Mr. Dallas at
tended the Congress by invitation. If
so, he accepted tlio invitation to re
ceive the treatment which wo have de
ified.—From the London Chronicle duly

A Secret for One Hundred Years.—
Tho Treasurer of Amherst College has
lately received from Mr. David Sears,
of Boston, n heretofore liberal benefac
tor of the College,a vnmll nnd carefully
sealed box. with the instruction that it
is not to 1)C opened for one hundred
years, on pain of a forfeiture of a gift
which it contains. Speculation is at
fault ns to tho contents and tfio reasons
for the accompanying condition. The
shrewdest guess is that tho box holds
cl ceils of real estate in Boston, now
under lease for one hundred years, but
then to la- transferred to the College.—
But let us he patient till 1960, and then
wo shall all know, says the Springfield

•Slave Increase.—The new census will
probably show the number of' slaves, in
the United States, to be over 4,000,000.
This is on the computation that tiie
rate of increase will ho not less than it
was from 1840 to 1850, Tho addition
to the numbers within that poriod was
710,756, tho rat© of increase nearly 29
por cent; more precisely28.80 percent.
At tills rate the increnso, which is not
likely to bo less, computations liavo
been made cf the lutiire numbrrs of
the slave population, within a few years.
The figures aro, indeed, startling, from
their magnitude. It is very certain,
that within tho first quarter of the
next century, it will beat least fifty
millions.

A Romance of Capo Mny.
A New York correspondent relates
tho following romantic incident in con
nection with tho excursion of tho Great
Eastern to Capo May.
A certain well known artist, who lias
for somo timo been connected with one
of our illustrated newspapers, nnd
whose talent 1ms gained him somo ce
lebrity, was among the excursionists
who first landed at Cape May. Quito
a number of tlioso who wont ashore in
dulged in a plunge amid the breaker],
ami this gentleman joined them, to re
vivify himself after the trials and suffer
ings of tho night on board. Unfortu
nately ho was not nn adept in tho art of
swimming, nnd having ventured too far
out into tho surf became exhausted.—
He was in tho most imminent danger
of being drowned, and everybody seem
ed incapable of rendering him any as
sistance, whon a Indy, whoso scarlet
bathing dress and daring behavior in
tho water iind attracted much atten
tion, darted out through tho mighty
waves, seized the drowning man by
tlio collar of his flannel shirt, and con
voyed him safely to land, amid the
deafening cheers of those who witness-
the font.
This bravo and noble girl is a mem
ber of nn excellent family, belong
ing to what is called tho “best society”
of New York. Sho first learned to
swim perfectly at Her father’s country
seat on tho Hudson, and many old wa
tering plnco habitues will remember
hor extraordinary skill and self-posses
sion in tho sport of surf bathifig. Tho
Acquaintance between her nnd tho ar
tist, thus romantically begun, prosper
ed on the passage home, and the gos
sips say that tho parents of tho young
Indy have already been successfully con
sulted concerning a sneody union of
talent and beauty in the way of n mar
riage a la mode.

speaking up, said:
