who influenced me 20 Join him and

might conqner the white people and
poheis eurlelves Of their properly.
enquirea how we were 20 efeGt il?

CURED who he was going 10 employ
he laid man from North Carolina who
was at the iiege of York town. and who
was to mcer him (Gabriel) at the Brook,
and 20 proceed ON to Richmond take,
and then tortify il. This man from
North Carolina was 70 be commander
and manager the frf day, and then af
ter exefciling the folders, the command
was 70 be reiigned to Gabriel.
1t Richmond was taken withour the
lois OF many men, they were to CONT
nue. there Tome time, but if they fufain-
ed any comfortable iofs, they were to
bend their courfe for Hanover town or
York; they were not decided to which,
and continue at that place as long as
they found they We're able to defend it;
but II the event OF defeat or iofS at thof-
places, they were TO endeavor to form a
Junction with iome negroes which thew
underitood from Mr.. GrrgorY's over
ieer, were in rebellion in fone quarter
, OF the country. The information thew
had gotten from the overleer, made
Gabriel anxious; upon which he appli-
ed TO me to make jyJbs NvoyGs, which |
did, 20 the number of twelve. Every
Sunday he came to Richmond to pro
vide ammunition, andto find where the
military flores were depoftcd.
Gabriel informed me, in cafe of fic-
GETS, that he intended TO inbdue rhe
whole Of the country where lavery was
permitted, but 40 further.
he hrft places Gabriel intended to
attack were The capitol, the magazine,
the Penitenlrary, the governors houIe
and his Perfon. The inhabitants were
20 be naiiacred, fave thofe who begged
for quarters and agreed to ferve as FOL
dierS wlrh them. The reafon why the
'niurrectlon was TO be made at this par
ticnlar time was the dilcharge OF the
number Of folders one or TWO months
ago, which induced Gabriel to believe
the Plan you'd be more eaGly executed.
