Extract from the Epistle Of the Yearly Meeting of
Friends (Quakers), held in London, by adjourn

of the same inclusive, 1929.
"We have received as in former years. accounts of the
sfcrngs of our Members in the support of our Christian
Testimony against ntheS and other ecclesiastical demands
The amount including the of charges of the disains
together with few demands of a military nature is up

Thus we see that the Quakers were compelled to
pay for the support of the ecclesiastical establish
ment in England, sxty-four thousand three hundred
and eighty dollars, in the year 1922, but from which
they derive no advantage whatever.

account Of The Lasugrection at Charleston.
The following extract of letter from
a gentleman in Charleston, to the editors
of the New-York Gazette, is published,
as giving faithful account of the rise
and progress Of the late contemplated
rebellion of the blacks in Charleston =
" As you will have heard, ere this
reaches you, of conspiracy in this place
among the blacks against the whites,
think proper, as ii is now no longer Il
secret, 10 state to you the facts, as far as
they have come to my knowledge.
$ 1t is now four or FIVE weeks since |
first heard a whisper that an instruction
of The blacks was TO be apprehendad-
At first, but little attention was paid by
the citizens generally to this rumour
but it kept gaining ground by whispers
and hints from one TO another, till it was
known that our City Council had the in
formation from some faithful blacks,
which placed it beyond IA doubt, that a
secret conspiracy was going on, which
wouldyery soon, if the conspirators were
not unprecedented, break out into an in
surrectlon.
+" The City Council kept it pretty
much to themselves, till they apprehend-
ed a number Of suspicious slaves, as well
as many whose guilt was beyond suspi-
cion. None, believe, of the citizens
ever thought that the blacks could pos
sibly succeed, were they really TO begin
to put their nefarious designs into exc
cution, but that they would take some
lives, and this would be but a signal for
q general massacre of the poor devils.
1.-The military were all armed, and
out every night--this is still kept up.
"A court consisting of five Freehold
ers was organized, being men Of talents
and the strictest integrity, to try such as
were and might be apprehended. Re-
