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.

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 gro to tlie window, and induced him to jump out., enter the vehicle, and drive off. It is the belief of many that the negro is still concealed somewhere in the city.
