Knoxville, Nov. 10, 1800. Mr. Editor:—1 see in your daily paper of yesterday, the account of an intended insurrec tion, around Hickory Grove, of this county, which is much exaggerated, and my name be ing connected with it, I feel it my duty to give you the particulars, that the public mind may he corrected on this subject. Some six weeks past, one of my negroes made a remark which lead me to believe that there was a conversation among the negroe's upon the subject of insurrection. I immediately took steps to detect it if possible, with myself and my two overseers. On Saturday evening last, I said to my overseer at my plantation* to send tip- a part of the hands, and on tlieirwily, against the house of Mr. Rains' overseer, they made use of some remarks that led mo to examine them on Sunday evening. A negro boy about seventeen years old, tho first examined, disclosed to me the fact that the negroes were looking to Monday as the day of election, and Tuesday that they by war upon the whites were to obtain their freedom; Stating a circumstance that occuired with the overseer before they left, and a circumstance that occurred after they got to my house. 'Hie two last circumstances I fouud to he truo, after seeing my overseer and an aged negro woman that belongs to nty mother, and upon the evi dence I took up five of the boys. Taking the most sensible out of the five, I examined him under the whip, and he not knowing what the other boy had told me. told me identically the same things, that the first boy I examined did, and so on with the whole five; one without the whip told the same. The next day I proceeded to uiy plantation and took up the three that were there, and I found from them, the same thing; one without whipping. In the course of the examination they brought in several of my neighbor’s negroes. Sir. James M. Simmons’ negro man was the next taken up, and he dis* closed the name of A. V. Dreher, who lives at Hickory Grove, as the man who informed them by conversing and reading to them, that the day of their freedom was just at hand. And he also brought in three others, os the negroes he counseled and read to. They being taken up separate, told the same thing, and brought in other negros as having conversation in regard to their freedom, all of whom so far as we have reached yet, have been whipped. Twelve men of our neigborhood took the case of A. V. Dre her in hand, and after a deliberate consultation, made the following verdict: "As there had been no act of violence com mitted, and no evidence that he could be con victed by law, that he should remain in the neighborhood where he could be carefully watched, and if found conversing with, or read ing to, negroes or the same evidence of negroes against him, that he should be hung on a tree hear Ills shop.” The examination among the negroes continu ed and n good many were found to know a good deal about tha insurrection, but there were only two or three who had any fixed tiuio for its commencement. The confessions of the negroes were that all tho negroes knew of the conversa tion going on about insurrection, but over half was opposed to haring anything to do with it. Very few of them seemed to know the day was just at hand when it was to commence. Your corrcsjiondent from Ft. Valley is wrong about Mr. Cullen Davidson being implicated in the affair. Yours truly, WASHINGTON C. CLEVELAND. RtvKjtsEn.—-The "10th Century” of Tuesday, comes to us with all its rules bottom upwards.

SOUND VIEWS. We heartily endorse the following para graphs from the Augusta Chronicle <£• Sentinel of Tuesday. They form the conclusion of a long article, for which we have no space. We say with the Chronicle, let us unite—send our wise men to counsel together in State Conven tion-unpledged, unrestricted, and back their judgment with all the energies of united Geor gia. So soou as the call for a State Conven tion is made, let Bibb county be called togeth er in Mass Convention, without distinction of party, and selecting a ticket of her best men without reference to their party affiliations, entrust this cause to their fullest discretion: — “ It is very plain that there is now to be a new order of tilings inaugurated. The North and the South must come fairly and squarely to understand one another, and to learn definitely what each will do. This is a matter which be longs to the people of each Sovereign State,and they will doubtless be called upon speedily to act—each Slate for itself. There is a commu nity of interest and feeling between the fif teen Southern Slates, fulls as great, perhaps greater, than existed between the original thir teen. The general tone of sentiment among us seems to me, and we think it eminently proper, that each State hold a Convention, and then ap point delegates to a general Convention of all the Southern States, so that they may act with unity and harmony if possible. And therefore, os we are all really one in interest and feeling, however much we may differ in judgement, we would plead for cordial unauimity, and sincere brotherhood among us, discarding all old is sues, names and feelings. “Let us have no party spirit any longer; but let us all counr,el and consult together for our own and our children's best interests, call a Con vention and elect as delegates to it the wisest, and ablest, and best men wc have in each coun ty, and leave to them the consideration of the whole matter. Perish pavtyism, perish animosi ties, and let us all unite together now for our own beloved Georgia, the Empire State. Let us each and all cultivate a cordial regard for our great common-wealth, and avoid every thing which tends in tlic slightest degree to alienate ns from one another. Let us have no strifes and dissensions any longer at home, but all unite for the great purpose- of determining what is best to lie done in this perilous time. We plead for unanimity among our people, and that is all. Whatever the calm judgment and ma tured wisdom of our Stale, in Convention as sembled, shall determine upon, will receive our acqui°sccncc, whether or not it conflicts with our own personal views of duty, interest, and necessity.” UNDERSTANDS THE THING. | For the Telegraph.

In this way if every soldier is prepared, and every citizen is armed, the South will he impregnable. A Convention of men, representing the peo ple of Georgia lias been recommended to be called by the Legislature, for the purpose of taking this matter into consideration. I hope that convention will soon ho called, and that wise and judicious men may constitute that convention. It will bo no ordinary affair. Upon its decision hangs the destiny of tho South." I would also suggest that a more effective police force be established, than Uieono we now have, throughout the State. It was suggested by Governor Brown, that an Armory should be established in the North ern part of Georgia. It was a good suggestion and should be acted upon immediately. The northern part of Georgia affords ample means for the establishment of an Armory. And as Georgia is far removed from the borders, it will be sometime before sho will ho agitated with war. My earnest pray is that the South may hear up uobly against the common storm, and that its soil shall not be trampled upon by northern foes. May God guide us in this our just cause, and save the South, and help us to throw off the yoke of oppression. A MINUTE MAN For tho Telegraph. Science and Invention. -ecretary of Slate W. H. Seward.

Attorney General S. T. Logan. For the Telegraph, Mil Editor :—The recent returns of the elec tion for President clearly indicate that Lincoln has been elected to rule over us lor the next four years. Not only has he been elected, but been elected by an immense majority, showing tliat the Republican party treat contemptuously our appeals for the preservation of this Union. We claim no blame for the dissolution of these con federated States—for dissolved they undoubted ly will be. Wc did afl that was in our power to prevent the election of a man directly oppos cd to the interest of one half of this country. Wo would cordially have submitted to the rule of a conservative man, hut no, they wish lo make us submit humbly to the government of man pledged to wr.ge an irrepressible conflict against our beloved South; an endorser of Help er’s “Impending Crisis’’—Abraham Lincoln. Sir, I am not in the habit of making threats, make none now, hut I do say that, before I sub, uiit to the rule of Lincoln I will fight until there is not a Southern man left to stand with me— until the last gun is fired, and if ever the South dies I die with hcr; and, so help me God, mean what I say. But there are some—and I am glad to say they are very few, and in a few weeks I think there will be none—who wish to wait for an occrf action, and then they are ready for hanging the aggressor. Why should we wail for an overt action? Will it be easier then to secede than it is now ? I say we have had suf ficient ocert action, and that the election of Lin coln is but a consummation of those acts. Not merely has Lincoln licen elected, but he has been voted for in Ohio, wo know, by fourteen thousand negroes, and, should you count the hslf breeds, inulattoes and all other branches of the negro race who have voted for liitn, no doubt tlse number woutd reach twenty-five or thirty thousand. Think of this Southern men—a man is to he your presiding officer for the next four years, is to occupy the place where Washing ton, Jefferson and Jackson have sat, elected partly by negroes. And more still, a man is to occupy the next highest place, within the gift of tho people of these United States, who is a half negro, a man whom, if it were in my power, I would not allow to preside over a negro “corn- shuCking.” But it is unnecessary to speak farther of these I lravc no doubt that every Southerner MOULDS OF ENGRAVINGS. Gutta percha can bo dissolved in olive oil by the agency of heat, and it then becomes a plss- tic mass, which is kneaded with warm water to wash it, and the moisture then pressed out It is now laid on the face of an engraved plate, which is designed and copied by the electro type process, and heat is applied to the under surface. The composition is thus melted, and fills up every line of the engraving; it is then suffered.to cool, and, when it becomes dry and hard, it is easily removed, and forms a mould containing a perfect copy of the engraving.— The face of this mould Is now dusted with pure plumbago, and placed in an electrotype trough, when a coat of copper is deposited upon it a very simple manner multiplied copies of en gravings can thus be obtained, and their artiS' tic appearance is in every respect of a superior style, while the cost is comparatively small. TIRES FOR RAILWAY WHEELS. Quite a number of tires arc manufactured in France and Belgium, according to a process dc' vised by M. Putin, of France. This process consists of a series of operations succeeding each other at short intervals, whereby tho tire is produced perfectly ready for use. According to this plan, a bar of iron or steel is first rolled out to tho required thickness, and it is then passed into what is called an cn roleur, or cotier, which forms the bar into coil resembling a coiled spring, or a corkscrew having its threads compressed. This coil is welded under a very heavy hammer, which at the same timo forms it from the rough. The piece is now passed into the first rolling mill, whereby its shape is improved, and a second rolling mill completes the operation by perfect ing the shape and smoothing the surface of the tire. All this is done with so much accuracy and rapidity, lhat hardly one pcice out of one hund red is spoiled, although sixty thousand kilo grammes—one thousand three hundred and twenty cwt., of iron and steel are formed daily into tire. These require no turning, and have no visible welding joint, tho tire facing manu factured from a ring, the diameter of which is increased as it passes through the rolling mills, whereby the required form is given to it at the same time. MERCURIAL HAROJIETERS. In a mercurial barometer the pressure of the atmosphere is indicated by the diflcrence be tween tho levels of tho mercury in the lube and in the cistern. When the scale is fixed, as in barometers of ordinary construction, the indication is never absolutely correct, for tho level varies to some extent in the cistern with every variation in the tube, and the height: of tho mercury in tho tube is indicated irrcspect : vely of the cistern? Some contrivances have been invented, at different times, for adjusting the scale to the level in the cistern, for the pur pose of obtaining correct indications, hut none of these have completely answered thepurposc. More recently, there has boon invented an im proved mode of applying a gage in combina tion with the scale and the cistern to provide for a more- convenient adjustment, which con sists in making the gage that is attached per manently to tho scale, in the form of a sleeve, fitting to the outside of the cistern, the latter being of cylindrical form, and. in providing nar row horizontal slits in tho said sleeve, from the upper edges of which, the scale is graduated. Before taking nn obsorvation of the barometer, the scale is adjusted by a rack and pinion to bring the edge of the slit exactly to tho level of tlie mercury m tho cistern, and so tiio mer cury in the tube is made to indicate accurately upon the sealo, tho pressure of the atmosphere. CURIOSITIES OF TtlE MANUFACTURING ARTS. It is surprising to whai nn extent seemingly «ful articles are utilized in tlie manufacturing arts. The prii.-siate of potash is made in large quantities from hoofs, horns, and other refuse of tcring mortar to give it a sort of fibrous quali ty ; sawdust is largely used for packing ico for shipment; the rags of worn-out shirting, calico dresses, and the waste of cotton factories, are employed to make pajier; old ropes are conver ted into fine note paper, and the waste paper it self which is picked up in the street gutters is again re-converted into broad, white sheets, and thus does duty in revolving stages; the parings of skins and hides, and the ears of cows, calves, and sheep, arc carefully collected and converted into Peter Cooper’s famous glue; the finer qualities of gelatine are made from ivory rasp ings—tlie hones and tendons of animals; hones converted into charcoal by roasting in retorts are afterwards employed for purifying white su gar; oyster shells are burned in kilns and after wards used in making cements; coal tar is burned and made into lampblack, used for prin ter’s ink, common black paint, blacking lor shoes, etc.; old horse-shoe nails are employed to make the famous steel an twist barrels of fowling pieces; old copper scraps are used in the construction of splendid bronze chande liers ; the ammonia obtained from the distilla tion of coal, in making gas, is employed for sat urating orchil and cudbear in making the beau tiful lilac colors that are dyed on silk and fine woolen goods; carbolic acid obtained in thedis' filiation ol a Mil tar is employed, with other acids, to produce beautiful yellow colors on silk and wool. TREATMENT OF WOOD AND MARBLE. A useful method has been devised for pre serving and coloring wood and marble. The wood to be treated is first submitted to an in jection of tlie silicate of zinc in solution, which renders it homogeneous. This silicate isinsolu- hie in acids and mineral salts, and it closes up the pores of the wood. The impregnation by this process is executed in a close and strong iron vessel, and tho fluid is forced into the pores of the timber by a pump, the operation being completed when the gage indicates a pressure of twenty atmospheres for soft wood, and sixty for hard wood. The second operation consists in removing tUo u*p of tho wood, bj imMUS or caustic lye, which permeates the juices of the wood, the application of the lyes and the wash ing being repeated several times. To dbtain delicate colors, the wood is made to undergo a bleaching process, after which operation, the wood being charged with color, acquires light tints and hardDfess according to the presence of different salts. For coloring marble, similar ap paratus is employed, with some modifications. The marble is submitted to an injection of citric acid diluted in water, in order to open the pores; after this operation the marble may he colored, monstrzlivs imp!intent, which may hake been decided upon by previous n< tiun of the Associa tion as appropriate to the occasion.

It must bo extremely gratifying to all New Jersey men in the South, and all who have fam ilies and friends and business connections in that State, to contemplate the proud position ai,« at present occupies. She has proved a Sea Hull, against the tremendous breakers that have beta rolled against her by tho lato galo of fanaticism that has rolled over the conserva tives of the so-called free States. The majority against Lincoln, is near 7000,with tho defeat of the Black Republican—Speaker Pennington— and three others of the Deciplcs of tho “ Help er Book ’” School. In addition to the law in favor of the rendition of Fugitive Slaves, New Jersey lias upon her her Statute Books, a law allowing slaveholders vitting the North, to take their slavos with them, and guaranteeing their protection, while sojourning in the State. Again, I say, all hon or to New Jersey. She manufactures every thing the South desires to buy let her citizens be encouraged, either in or out of the Union. And let every true Southern "citizen, from now and henceforth, put the ban upon every man, and upon every State of tho North that givo sympathy or' countenance to the enemies of southern slavery. The following is an extract of a letter from a gallant citizen of New Jersey to the writer.— It is dated, Newark, New Jersey, Nov. the 8th: “You will sec by the papers, that wo have saved our little State from tho Black Republic ans. But such a campaign I have never before passed through. I have not slept over three hours in the last ten days. “Lincoln is elected beyond a doubt,but thank God, New Jersey 4 did not help to do it It is glory enough for you to know that wo have defeated Pennington. He has run his race of mischief and is elected, to stay at home, and the “ Little Tailor”* will take his place in the Council of the Nation. I wish you could have been here to have worked with us, but you will rejoice with .us, and enjoy the glory. I done my share of work, and spent my share of money, but got some of it back. After it was ascertained lhat Essex had given Pennington a majority, the Blacks commenced tho “bluff game” by betting op him. I could not stand that, and took, .t.11 tho bets that were offered, and asked for more, and I took them down for a fow hundred and got the money this after noon. You never saw men look so blue. They have stirred Heaven and Earth to elect their speaker, hut no use, the Hickory boys was about, and the Hclpcrites, are “hone du com bat." .. As this noble whole souled 'fellow has work ed, so have hundreds and thousands in New Jersey, and other Northern States worked.— Let all Southern citizens know their frionds and sustain them. J. C. T. *Mr. Nehemiah Perry, a Merchant Tailor, resident of Newark, N. J. For tbc Telegraph. E ~ Hickory Grovb, Crawford Cd, Ga. / November 12th, I860, j Jfr. Editor:—I have heard that niy name appeared in the Daily of Thursday, in an arti cle written by your Fort Valley correspondent. I write from what I have been told. I have not seen the article—I was not in Knoxville atGne o’clock, not until after four o'clock; at no time did I call the names of Messrs. A. V. Dreher and Cullen Davidson, neither did I say any thing about Rev. W. 0. Cleveland's negrees being in custody, nor any one else. I think it a due Mr. Davidson and myself, to correct tho report of his name being connecte 1 with tho intended insurrection. Your correspondent should be careful to write the truth, and to do 50, he should be certain that his aijtlior is not i a liar, before ho makes so free use of men’s names in newspaper.-. The censure that has fallen on Mr. Davidson by tho use of my namo publicly in your paper, is false and without the least ground of truth. I think it due to him and his family, that the falsehood .should be corrected through tho Telegraph, as it appear ed in it Most respectfully, ■,«[' <’•' R. II. BAILEY.
