take the liberty, from sense of
the danger whichihe white people. of this
state arc 10, to communicate 10 you one of
the most shocking pio.s by the blacks ina.
ginable. IF you think Unworthy Of place
IN your paper, it might serve to put peo-
pie on their guard.
We have been engaged inthis county
in the trying Of negroes for poisoning the
whites, ever since Monday last. One suf-
Tered death at the stake twas 6nrnf ofive }
on Saturday last for poisoning her master,
mistress and two others two more are
under sentence of death, and are to be
hanged on "Wednesday next. Thirteen
are imprssoned under guard, part of
whom from the evidence, expect will
suffer death, and We are daily making new
discoveries. Some have b.en brought
from Sampson, others from Johnston, so
that the plot appears TO have been Z gee
neral enc. It is said by some ct the pri.
soncrs, that the head men are to be poi.
soned first, and the rest are 70 be subdued
aud alter OBTAINING sufficient number in
slavery, the balance, if refractory, are 70
be put TO death.
I'VE proceed this moring with the TIRE
ais, and God only. knows what the event
will De. Six or eight light horsemen are
continually on duty to bring up charged
negroes, besides a strong. guard of infan-
try about the prisoners. What raised the
first suspicious in this business, was the
death of one or two of our respectable
men,"
We understand that one Of the persons
poisoned was Mr.. Jernigan.

opinion They state in positive terms, that in =

/ rope, ssstate Of peace, which can scarcely
be- considered az disturbed by our differ
ences with the Indians or the pirates Of
| Tripoli. During this period, we have at
! no time had an army of more than three
| thossand men, nor incurred, it is believed,
an annual expense of more than two mil
lions of dollars. Taking the succession
of years, the average expense did not ex !
coed seven hundred. Thousand dollars
Daring the whole of this time We have
been exempt from the carnage and desc
Iations Of war, and scarcely human life
has been sacrificed. Every man has been
employed, according To the bent of his ge.
MUS, in advancing his own interest. In a
moral point of light, the, condition of the
United States has been so essentially diff
ferent from that cf the nations of Europe
that there are two few points of resem
blance to form any comparison between
them.
In pecuniary view more defniteideas
may be formed. The population ofthe u
nited States was Ave millions during the
| period of time referred to.
That of Europe may be estimated at two
hundred millions. During this period, in
| maintenance of her peace the United
States have employed three thousand sol.
diers; while Europe for the carrying on
her wars has employed two millions. Ac-
cording to this proportion, an equal popu-
laiion in Europe has engaged $4,000 sol
diers. The expense of supporting the arr
my of the United States has been about
100000 dollars year; that Of supporting
the army of an equal European population
twelve miiioss Eve hundred thousand dol
lars. Computing the loss sustained from
The subtraction OF labor occasioned by the

It viii follow that it has virtually cost the
United States per annum one million four
hundred thousand dollars, while il has cost
AN equal population in Europe the of
twenty five millions, leaving an annual diff
