We translate from Paris paper of July 22d, the following letter from the Polish Commandern chieflo General Lafayette.
 My Dear General: With what pleasure shouh have sooner replied to the atterng letter whicl you did me the honor to address on the 2lst of Aprl l received it, however, after long delay. lose not moment in returning my thanks, and eIpress- ing the great qualification ii affords me to be hap py to receive in this manner the favorable regard of the veteran of liberty in two worlds-of person eminent, whose constancy has been supalorto all vicissitudes whose character has been preserved equally grand in the dungeon of Olmut7 and at the head of armies;- distinguished citizen in fine, who has exhibited to the world so rare m example of undertaking fidelity of principle and disnterested regard for his fellow men This indeed, is one of the most grateful recompenses to which could as- pire!
 You are already aware of the success that attend ed our efforts to throw into Lithudnia. On the return from that expedition. was attacked in the neighborhood of Ostrolenka by the Russians in great force. The combat obstinate, and at last degenerated into carnage. The Russian c)mman- der, however, in spite of every thing alleged to the contrary, was not able to prevent the object had in view. Thus we have, up 10 the present date, been enabled successfully to maintain anxious strug- gle against so great odds, and confident in the en- thusasm of our countrymen, and strong iu the va Tor of our army, will yet sustain the ctuse be- ing persuaded that the moment approachts when constitutional governments will show less apathy concerning the ontrages on public opinion, which have been committed. We think they will inter- pose for Poland, which, perhaps, yet depends the safety of Europe itself May the prayers, my dear General, that you and 50 many otber friends of humanity put up in our behalf, be vonchsaied!

RALEIGH. SEPTEMBER 15, 1881.

RALEIGH, SEPTEMBER 15 1881.
 The Edenlon Gazette states, upon information re- ceved from undoubted source, that there have been killed in Southampton county. upwards of one hundred negroes, consequent upon the late insurrec ton in that county. Fourteen of the ihoughtess, savage wretches have been tried of whom thirteen were convicted and are to be hung during the pre- sent weel-there thirty more now in the jail at Jerusalem yet to be tried besides others in jail at Bellfeld.
 We understand that about twenty one negroes have been committed 10 jail in Edenton, on charge of having been concerned in concerting project of rebellion. A slave has also been arrested and im- prisOned in Dupin county, upon similar allegation. He had communicated his knowledge ofthe scheme in agitation to free man of color who gave imme- diate information to the whites. Serious reports Tn relation to the revolt of the slaves in Wilmington. and Sampson county, reached this city, by the way of Smithfeld on Monday night and Tuesday morn ing last On Tuesday evening, certain intelligence from various sources reached us of an insurrectlon having occurred on Sunday night last in part of Sampson and Duplin counties. Its extent or the damage done is unknown to But as the militia' have been called out in the adjacent counties, we atter ourselves that it will be speedily suppressed, and that the deluded wreches who are concerned in the diabolical attempt will be made to suffer se- yerely for their temerlty.
 On the evening meeting of our citizens, took place, when energetic measures were adopted for the security of city. In addition to the Vo- unteer and Militia companies of the city, compa- ny composed of persons legally exempted from mili- tary duty, was organized; to which the following gentlemen were appointed officers: Captain Tho mas G. Scott. Captain; Captain D. H. Bingham, Ist Lieutenant; Mir E. D. Bullock, 2d Lieutenant.

SAVANNAH, SEPTEMBER l!


 From Jamaica.-By the arrival of the British brig. Ann, Capt. ALcocK, at this port from Montego Bay, Jamaica, we have by the poteness of the Captain. obtained regular files of the papers of that Island the 27th of August
 The most interesting items of local news are those connected with the state of public sentiment occa- stoned by the proceedings in England in relation to the duties on Colonial produce, and on the subject of emancipation. Meetings were held in most ofthe Parishes, ,and resolutions of strong character passed amounting almost to state of open resistance" Re- monstrances (say they) are found unavailing. The Colonsts of North America tried this mode, but they were treated with neglect. The condition of Jama- ca bears d close analogy to the Americans in their monstrances on the Stamp and Tea Acts"
 Another resolution states, "That it has become imperative for self preservation, to declare their de- termination to defend their property to the utmost extremity"
 Another recommends the establishment of per manent militia.
 In the paper of the 27th is the following:-"That (howeyer reluctantly) we feel ourselves compelled canddly to declare, that should such protection be denied acting as we shall then unavoidably be, un der the impulse of the first and most ungovernable principle of nature-selEpreservation, we cannot be considered conumacous i in this our destitute situ ation, we pursue the most constitutional mode of re- quiring to be absolved from Government, that con siders no longer worthy of its solicitude and re- gard for is inconsistent to expect that the subjects of any Government can lose their property and sub init to their lives being endangered, and at the same time be bound by the duties of allegiance when the protection of their sovereign is withheld from them Georgian.

This must certainly be matter worthy the attention of those who are ag- rieulturists upon an extensive scale.
