Projected Fiondiah Operation*.
St. Lotus, Mo., July 29.—An extra from
I’onhntn, Texas, dated July 17th, contains
a letter from tho editor of the Dallas Iter

to the discovery of a plan to devastate the
w hole of the northern portion of Texas.
Two preachers. Messrs, Blount nod Me
Kinney, who were expelled from that sec
tion last year, are the instigators of the plot.
Their plan was to lay tho whole country
waste, by destroying all arms, ammunition,
Ae., und get the section into a state of help
lessness, and then on the election day in
August organize a general insurrection.
They were to be aided by emissaries from
tile North, and parties friendly to such de
vastation, who were in Texas. Their plan j
was districted and sub-districted. Kachilis
trict was (o he under the direction of white
men, who were to control and direct tho no
gmc*. Several wliite men und uegroos have !
been arrest, and.
The following fires are reported to have
occurred on the same day of tire fire in Dal

A mercantile house in Dlack Jack (irove,
with a loss of $.’10,000.

but I say to you all, beware ! for I possesses
power of which you don’t know, and if 1
wait mine to, I could ruin you in u minute.
[l.oud applause.]
Some irooplo profess and don’t possess,
but I profess noth ini’ I don’t posstrss, case
my calling is from God. 1 have been looked
on with scorn, just ease 1 was jsior and had
on a tore coat. [Here the I’rof. let his eye
fall on his military coat, which had been
loaned him for the occasion.] But now the
people begin to open their eyes. They say,
perhaps this fellow is somebody at last. My
friends are just beginning to rush to me;
why, I don’t know. Can anybody ever made
so many friends iu one day. [Loud ap
plause.]
I must say something more ’bout aky tl
cut. W e must act’cordin’ to that. Some
people don’t believe in me as a phrenology
or l’orfin teller. They say lam imposing
‘pon them; hut 1 tell you they doiit know
what they are talking ’bout. They have
saw somebody that did know something, and
ease they told them I didn't know nothing
(hoy believes them before they believes me.
Hut if you don’t belie vs 1 can look into the
future uml tell fortius, just ax that man
over there, (pointing to a tall specimen of
humanity sitting on the stage.) and he will
tell you 1 kin, case I.told him all ‘bout it.
I knows I inis oppositionists, but then I
knows my calling is from God, and by his
grace I'il conquer or die. [Loud applause.]
I have some friends here, and they arcgrow
ing last, and I promise them that 1 will use
my power, and they shan't never suffer.—
[A voice, 44 All of ns are your friends.”]
Vou know 1 lias told you I has power from
heaven. Wei! I has used it on more than
one occasion in Klbcrt county, and I thanks
God it is worked out right. I never has
undertaken anything but I transgressed—
[Here the tall gentleman before alluded to
touched Prof. If on the arm. and he contin
ued,] —but 1 progressed. [Loud applause.]
j Some say 1 am no ‘count, ease my coat is
tore, and ease 1 can't wear a pair of two-dol
lar shoe-boots, and it just does
get nie in the grocery to cheat me out of
I ten cents. [Applause.] Hut lam just as
| good as they are by nater, and better too,
case my calling is from God, and theirs is
from the devil. God Almighty never give
them any sich power; ho never give them
; power to cheat their fellow-men, case ‘tis
j our duly to dii nil 110 good we kin. [Loud
! applause, and cries of “Good !"]

Here a gentleman presented himself, and
was examined by the Prof., giving general
satisfaction to the audience, manifested by
the most deafening applause. After which
the Prof, took liis seat. As soon as order
was fully restored, a gentleman iu the audi

an ehxjueut manner for about fifteen minutes,
and closed by offering the following resolu
tion :
“Jiesofn-sl, that Prof. John Davis be ami
is hereby nominat.-d by this meeting for the
Presidency of the 1 ’nited States of America,
| and that Don Pedro Castro be and is here
by nominated for the Vice Presidency.”
The resolution was unanimously adopted,
and three times three cheers were given for
Jtavis and Castro. Prof. 1). then arose and
said :
J isn’t capable, (a voice, “no refusal,
when we have nominated you irrespective
of party."] but if my friends wants me to
he President, I accept. [Applause.] And
if the Abolitionist cut my head off at every
lick, I'll die fighting for you; therefore 1
accept the denomination, independent of pol
itics, religion or learning, or anything else.
I thanks you for the honor. Vou have |
raised me, a poor devil, and placed me in
the highest seat in the universe—l mean
the President.
And the Prof, retired to his seat amidst
the rapturous applause of the audience, and
Hailey’s hand having played a few melodi
ous strains, the crowd dispersed. 15. \V.

“In lfb’iO tbe following interrogatories
were propounded to Mr. Kvcrett by the

44 1. Are you in favor of the immediate üb
olitiou of slavery by law in the District of
Columbia, and of the slave traffic between

“Dear Sir: On Saturday last I only re

port, was introduced into the Senate of the
Commonwealth, year before last, by a joint
committee of the two Houses, f which the

“ Tlic first of the three subjects embraced
in ynnr inquiry is the only one of them
which came bcfoifi Congress while l was a

motion to lay upon the table the petition of
tho American Anti-Slavery Society for the
abolition of slavery in the District of Co

“These “resolves’* referred to were a set

Mr Everett was Governor of the State, and
are as follows:

The Missing Negro Boy.
No tidings have as yet been received of
the missing negro boy belonging to Luther
Roll, Esq., of Augusta, ha., now stopping
at the City Hotel in this city. There ap
pears to he no doubt that lie lias been ab
ducted by some over-zealous opponents of
negro slavery, and dispatched via the under
ground railroad to Canada. A colored wait
er in the hotel states that a few days since
he heard two white gentlemen inquire ofthe |
young negro if he was a slave, and upon :
the latter’s reply iu the affiritivc, asked him
if he would go with them, to which the ne
| gro is understood to have consented. \ es
terday being the time fixed for the abduc
tion, the white men, it is supposed, drove
up iu a close coach to the south side of the
hotel, on William street, opposite the room
occupied by Mr. Roll, on the first story, and
taking advantage of the temporary absence
of himself and wife at dinner, called the ne
