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. Erratum.—On last .Saturday in com menting on Col.

J* SeihclK. A rencounter occurred at ‘•Lynn’s corner,” in our city .ibout noon yester day between Ben. C. Yancey, Jr., Esq., (son of Hon. W. L. Yancey,) and Col. .1.3. Soibels, of tho “Confederation.” The facts are briefly tlieso:—Young Mr. . . Yancey met Col. Scibcls and said to divuluals in oloso conversation, np- llim t | mk j l0 ) XM \ gro - s | y H landered ids proaclicd thorn, who when they disoov ored him took to their heels. Ho pur sued thorn and ordered them several timos to stop, which they refused to do, and observing they were fast gaining on him, ho fired. Quo of them, a negro man, belonging to J. C. Barnett, lvsq., of Madison, Ga., and hirod by Mr. G. N. Wright of this place,was badly hurt, about eighteen buck-shot having taken Tho nogro who was shot giv reason for not stopping, that a couple ol men had a little while before endeavored to carry him by force out of town, threatening to shoot him if bo resisted, lie’managed to get away from them 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 Contradiction.—Tlio account wo pub lished on tho 23rd, taken from the Rich mond (Vn.,) Dispatch, of six negroes in Halifax county, enticing their ovorsoor into tho woods and threatening to kill him, and four of them being killed by himono wounded and the rixth escap ng, is authoritatively pronounced a fab rication by theDanvillo Jleyistcr, publish ed in the county adjoining tlioono whero in tho uffulr is said to have occurred,and within fifteen miles of the spot. First New Cotton\—Messrs. Elliott Sc Russell received, per Steamer Alfnrata, on Friday evening last, two bales ol now cotton—class, good middling— whioh was purcliasod by Mr. W. J.T. Hughes at 10c. The ahovo cotton was nised in Ciierokco county, Ala., by E. G. Thornton and D. A. Miller. If wo not mistaken this is the earliest ever brought to this market. 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 warning against intemperance, and carelessness in tho uso of firo arms. 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 tly in the fight.—Jlontgomcry Advertiser, 23d. CtirTho negro Delniney, whoso pres ence in tho Statistical Congress occa sioned tho insult of Lord Brougham to Mr. Dallas, was one of tho negro scoun drels who was present and an activo participator in the proceedings of tlio convention held at Chatham, Canada West, as can be seen by reference to the journal of proceedings of tho con vention, pages 45,46 and 47, of tho Sen- ato Harper’s Ferry Investigation Re port.

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 nv Miss Ml"Lot'II.

Mr, Frksciiv.—Wo find in one of our French exchanges tho following analy sis of the human system, which is considered in relation to the different countries*. “An Englishman is composed of mut ton and water; an Irishman,of potutoes and water ; a Frenchman’ of omolct, frogs and water; und a German, of cheese,sour-krout and water.” Theuu- thor of this aimiysis, says our contem porary, “is an American, and does not either from pride or modesty, mention his own imtiomilitv—but having been called to nnalyzo him, wc ascertained with surprise, that ho consisted of beet, tobacco juico nnd water. ^1 iimortality.-—] n tho beautiful drama of lou, tho ihstiuc.t of immortality, so eloquently uttered by tho death-dovo- ted Greek, finds a deep response in ovory thoughtful soul. When about to yield his young cxistcnco as a sacrifice m fate, his beloved Cleninnlhc asks if they shall meci again, to which lie re plies: “1 have asked that dreadful question of tho hills, that look eternal —ol tho flowing streams tlmt lucid llow forever—of tho stars, amid whose fields of azure my raised spirit bus trod in glory ; all were dumb, but now, us 1 thus gaze upon thy living face, nnd see tho love tlmt mantles through its beauty, I feel that we can never wholly perish. We shall meet again, Cleinun- the.” A Good Plan.—They have a police man in St. Louis stationed day and night in front of u notorious swindling prize gift establishment, kept by one Madame English, to warn away tlio un sophisticated and keep them from being cheated out of thoir money. Madame occasionally call-* into requisition nil tlio indignant epithets in her vocabu lary ami hurls them at tho head of tho unoffending officer, hut still he stands faithfully at his post. Tlio otficer has already prevented a large number ol individuals from being swind led. 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 Republican. •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. Tup.

The New York News (Deni.) rejoices over the Union of tho Douglas ami Boll men, in that .State, against Lincoln, nnd Tho vote of Now York is thus secur ed against Lincoln.

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.

Thrust ing his spoon in the middle, ho drew out the yolk devoured it. und passed on to tho next. When he had got to his seventeenth egg, an old farmer, who had already Ikoii prejudiced against Monsieur by his intistacliois, could brook the extravagance no longer, and speaking up, said: “Why, sir, you leave nil the whlto! How is Mrs. Lockwood to afford break fast at tlmt rate.” “Vy,” replied tho outside barbarian, “you wouldn’t luivo mo to out uo vito? Do yolk is do shickc-n ; do vito do fod ders. Am I to make von bolster of my belly?” J ho funner was dumbfound ed. 03f“Tho Pope has addressed an ener getic letter to the Bishops of.Syria. His Holiness laments tho massacres of tho Muionites, which havo been committed by tho Druses, and expresses his horror at tho barbarities of tho Turks. His Holiness further speaks in high praiso of tho French expedition, and exhorts the Priliecs to repress the excesses of tho iniidcls, and to arrest tho enemies of morality, justice* religion and social order.
