week.
Our Explanation.
The Editor of the Cartersville Express
-aiks us to “ c*pfcrtn” a number of ques
tions ; and says that enr statement “that
re considered Douglas and Johnson the
alar democratic nominees” is news to

■we consider Douglas and Johnson the
regular nominees ef the Democratic party,
:in a vary few words. The Convention at
'Cincinnati in 185ft, selected Charleston as
the place, and April 18th, 1860, as the
’time for holding the next National Demo
cratic Convention. In accordance with
r the usage of the party, every State in the
Union appointed delegates to that Con
vention. They met, and because that
1 Convention adopted the platform of the
'Cincinnati Convention, a majority of the
■■hlyiwi from eight States seceded, and
'Organised a separate Convention, and ad
journed to meet at Richmond in June.—
In the meantime, the regular Convention
^proceeded te ballot for a cendidste for
Presidentbut failing to make a nomina-
tioa, they adjourned to meet at Baltimore
•on the 18th of June, and requested those
•States whose delegates had created vacan-
-cies by their secession, to fill such vacan-
•eies. A Convention was held in this State
:as well as in some other Stales whose del
egates had seceded, and delegates appoint
ed to go to Richmond, but take no action,
and go from there to Baltimore, and par
ticipate in the proceedings of that Con-
veation, and if they foiled to have their
den and* acceded to, then to return to
jtiduaond, and assist in nominating a can
didate there. But they did neither. They,
■with other seceding delegates, set up an
independent Convention at Baltimore—a
Convention not contemplated by the par
ty in any State in the Union, so far as we
■ and believe.-^The regular Conven-

ably have been devastated by murders,
traaand rapine. But its timely detection
it is to be hoped, will quell any further
disturbance there, end bring the instiga
tors of this hellish deed to a speedy and
just punishment There has been an in
surrection brewing for some time in the
Cherokee Nation on the borders of Arkan

amongst the Indians, bat this too, will be
suppressed, and the guilty parties proper
ly punished.
We copy an article to-day from the
Rome Courier which gives an account of
three negroes in the upper part of Floyd
County, who were overheard concocting a
plan to raise an insurrection. In this
state of affairs, the proper authorities in
every county, where there are a con.side
rablc number of slaves, should see to it,
that the patrol laws were strictly carried
out. We publish to-day a communication
an this subject, and we hope the sugges
tions made by the writer, (who is one of
our best citixens) will be duly considered.
It has been our opinion, for some time,
that the slavery question was improperly
discussed in the hearing of negroes, and
by the press. Many negroes about cities
and towns can rand, and they are taught
to believe that there is a Urge party at the
North who are disposed to free them.—
This delusion has doubtless had a bad ef
fect upon many negroes. But the worst
influence over the negro is mean white
men, from the North, who, in many sec
tions, travel for the ostensible purpose of
pursuing some legitimate business, but
whose real objects are of an incendiary
character. A vigilant eye should be kept
on all such characters.

' IfrshouM be borne in mind by those
who contemplate patronizing this institu
tion, that the exercises for the Fall Term
will be resumed on Monday, 20th inst.—
The next term will be commenced with
more flattering auspices than ever before.
The new President, Mr. Arbogast, comes
with a high reputation as a scholar, gen
tleman and experienced teacher. Prof.
A. G. Johnson, teacher of Ancient Lan

has had much experience in his depart

can be procured. Whilst the facilities of
this College to afford a thorough educa

itself to the public on the score of econo

a locality unsurpassed for health.
It is to bo hoped that the next term will
be commenced with. a larger number of
students than at any former period in the

We have received the first number of

Mr. Editor:—The spirit of insubordi

ing county, together with the more fiend
ish incendiaryistn prevalent in Texas, bnt
admonish the citizens of Cassville and
Cass county, to boon the alert We know
not who lurks within our midst, to incite
our slaves to similar deeds of darkness.—
I know of no Town, where such an enter
prize could be easier effected. We have
no patrol, and but a nominal police. The
laxity in regard to our servants going
where they please on the Sabbath, atten
ding negro meetings. I have ever been
opposed to negro preachers, unless under
the most rigid restraint. I noticed a few
Sabbaths ago, two colored clergymen hoi
ding forth in the Methodist Chiuch, and
if there was one white man present I hare
it to learn. The great passion amongst
the negroes to attend a colored assemblage
is too manifest, and requires at this junc
ture to be put down. There-has been
several strange feces, of a suspicious mien
coming in and going out of Cassville for
the last twelve months, and who knows
but every negro in Cass county is medita
ting the chances for immediate freedom.
Such is the gullability of the negro on the
subject of liberty, that one would be as
tonished at the facility with which most
of them can be brought into conclusions
that promise something novel, if no more.
I am opposed and astonished to sec ne
groes hiring buggies and horses, and go
ing any and everywhere on the Sabbath
day. Where will this indulgence end?—
Is it not sure to ho abused—taken advan
tage of to our injury. The' time to dam
up the stream is when it is small. I am
no alarmist, but wish to be circumspect
and strike at the proper time and place.
While we make so much ado about com
ing political calamities, we overlook pres
ent dangers. I trust every patriot will
keep his negroes at home, and aid in ma
king others do likewise.

obtaining employment in a respectable
mercantile house, he gained the affections

We oopy the Statement below from the
New (Means Trm Delta, of the 4th tat,
hong the. latest accounts received from,
the infected abolition districts of Texas:
The eaoitment consequent upon the
late abolition disturbances has not entire
ly died out. A meeting of slave owners
was held in the town of Anderson, on the
26th. A vigilance committee Was organ
ized and resolutions adopted recommend
ing the expulsion ef all white persons
suspected of entertaining abolition senti
ments, reprobating the practice of giving
general passes, and selling liquor and arms
to slaves.
A meeting, with a similar object in view
was held in Hempstead on the same day
at which precautionary measures were ta
ken.
In Wood county a public meeting was
held on the 19th, and a vigilance commit
tee was appointed, as well as a watch for
the town of Quitman.
It has been ascertained that the negroes
of Grimes county have held secret meet
ings, and many of them are supplied
with arms.
A mass meeting ofthe citizens of Lamar
county was held at Paris on the 28th ult.,
for the purpose of taking steps to ferret out
persons suspected of abolitionism in that
vicinity.
In Fayette county, a band of runaways
was thought to have been organized, their
destination being Mexico.
The Gilmer Tribune reports the arrest
of three negroes in that town on the 19th.
They had in their prosession passes, pa
pers and various documents way-bills to
the Indian Nation, pistols, powder caps
and writing materials. They said they
were from Henderson county.
The Houston Telegraph thinks the late
diabolical plot was only perfected in two
places—Dallas and Denton—but had it
not been discovered, it would soon have
extended to half the counties in the State.
Explanation of the Troubles in Syria.
The Rev. Wm. M. Thompson, Mission
ary of the American Board in Syria, has
written a letter to the New York Observer
in which he attributes the late cruel mas
sacres of the Christians to the decision of
the European powers not to interfere with
the governmental operations of Turkey,
by which the Consuls of all nations have
been paralyzed in arresting the late infer
nal work, and to the bigotry of the Pasha
of Beirut, who has been stirring up the
hatred of the Druses against the Chris-
ns, for the purpose of accomplishing
their destruction. The Turkish govern
ment he says, everywhere assisted the
Druses. Mr. Thompson says he has read
through the entire history of Lebanon
since the Arabs have resided on it, and it
contains nothing that can compare with
the late cold blooded butchery of unarmed
men, of women, of priests, monks and
nuns, not to speak of conflagrations of
towns, villages, hamlets, churches and
convents. He is of opinion that Russia
and France will act separately from Eng
land, Austria and Prussia, and the down-
fell of the Turkish Umpire may be looked
for. In other quarters, the opinion is ex
pressed that England and Prussia will n-
nite-with the other powers in remedying
the disorders of the sick man. If the Eu
ropean governments could agree among
themselves upon a fair distribution of his
effects, there would be short work with
the troubles in Turkey.—Richmond Dis
patch.
The Chicagoans have blundered
upon a discovery of considerable impor
tance to that city. The prairie stone,
which exists in large quantities in the im
mediate vicinity, was supposed to contain
oil similar to that found in Canal CoeL—
An experiment was made to test the the
ory, and though the chemist foiled to find
oH, he found a better illuminator. Obser
ving a vapor to issue from the neck ofthe
retort he applied a match and found that
it burnt with all the brilliancy of the best
coal gas. Farther experiments establish
ed the feet that the stone yields as hurgea
per cent of gas as the best gss coal, and
leaves fifty per cent of saltpetre and a res-
idum of exeellent lime. The company
who own these extensive stone quarries,
find themselves on the direct road to fab
ulous wealth, and there is likely to be as
great an excitement about the prairie
stone as there is in Western Pennsylvania
about Seneca oil

We learn that on last week in the up
per part of this county three negroes, be
longing respectively to Dr. Chaney, Mr.
Sledge and another gentleman, whose name
wc do not know, where overheard con
certing a plan to rise and destroy the
whites in that settlement One of them
was afterwards whipped by his master
and confessed the truth and on Tuesday
the neighbors met and brought the negroes
before them, and they corroborated the
statments ofthe other. Mr- Sledge’s boy,
whose name is Green, and is a notoriously
bad character, divulged the whole plot,
which seems to have been about this:—
They had determined to instigate an insur
rection between now and Christmas, and
had approached several negroes on the
subject some of whom consented to join
them and others refused. Their fii st point
of attack was to have been on a meeting
soon to be held at a Baptist Church on
Armuchce creek.
The people were on the eve of hanging
the boy Green, who seems to have been
the ring-leader, but they let him off upon
condition that he should be sent out of
the State. There is no evidence that white
men arc implicated, though such is doubt
less the case, as there are several suspici
ous individuals prowling about in the
county. The people cannot be too vigil
ant in watching such fellows. They might
find proof to justify them in making an
example of one or more of them that would
be a wholesome lesson to the rest.—Rome
