morning from Col T. rhoison, oF Eruns. wick county, addressed to the Governor dated hawrenceviile, August @, which ssas ss reported there, that St families had been destroyed; that the blacks numbered from three to fonr hun dred, and were within four miles of Bel heid; that many families had, thro' alarm, focked into Lawrenceville for safety.-- Colonel Chotson writes to the Governor for arms, which have been promptly sent on. We suspect that the report about the agency of some few whites, is mis- take-Belfleld and Hicks Ford are about halfa mile apart.
 Later.-We have later accounts, but they are still rumors; still deficient in au- thenticity. It is stated that the leader of the blacks had been shot at the bridge at jerasalem--that about twenty negroes were on their march to their rendezvous; and attacked by four whites--six killed and several prisoners taken. 1t is said that there had been stirmish between the largest body of the blacks, and some few mlitia-that the negroes had fled into woodland the writer of the letter, who gives this account, believes that as soon as the troops are up, they would be complete ly surrounded and eut off.
 One of the last expresses state that most, If not all the blacks. were rnnaways, who had broken out of the swamp to rob and do mischief-that few, if any, of the plantation hands, had joined them-and in one case, he heard of master of one of the estates turning out with his slaves to meet party coming to attack him-that two of the assailants. had been killed, a third wounded, and the rest ran off He heard of several others being killed else where. Rnt 1t is extremely difficult 10 get at the truth of all such statements.
 The Governor received letter express. yesterday morning, from General Eppes of Sussex
 General Eppes believes that in day or two, all will be tranquil; that no more troops will be necessary, aud perhaps those in service may be discharged, though there was a party near Southampton court house, and small one near Belfeld; things look we'll.
 These events have burst unexpectedly upon us. Every thing Is quiet here. And indeed 1t is the same case in every quar- ter from which we have heard. No one has dreamed Of any such event happening in any part of Virginia. A patrol turns out i'll our city every night. 0ur tranquil lity is perfectly unruffied-no disturbance, no suspicion, no panic=-not even any zex- citement, except on account of our breth- ren of Southampton. \ temporary com pany of horse is organizing for patrol, until our two volunteer companies return.

OBITUARY.

DIED--0n the 21th instant, after an illness of 22 days, which shc bore with the meek submission of Christian, Miss Le- dadh BGrhman, only daughter of Judge Jacob Barkman, of Fourcl de Caddo. clark county, A. ID in tue 18th year of her age.
 lae death of tins inestimabfe young iady will be long felt in the circle of her ac- quaintance. Blessed with most an.iable temper and benevolent disposition, she was beloved hy all who knew Ter, idol~ lzcd by her parents, adored by her friends, and surrounded by health, fortune, and every thing calculated 10 make tLis world desirable. Her life was an unruf- lied current happiness--she had no wish nngratified, that the fondness ofa parent for an only daughter could encompass; but the "feil destroyer" came, and the check that hloomed with health, this day three " eeks age, age, ;s ::o.v cold iiiianiinate corpse. When we see death lay his paralysing arm on the infrm or the aged, the shock is comparatively nothing: they have ifparents filled the measure Of their allotted time, and they leach us that we are born 10 dies but when We see the uncrring shaft aimed at the young and the lovely, we can but repine at the destiny which has robbed society ofso pure being, and wonder at the inscrutability of "God's ways"

 We lay the turf above thee now,
 And we seal thy narrow bed.

 Where the wicked cease from troubling, And the weary are at rest.'

years, and we have reason to hope thas her son will fer many years continue to exhibit to iiie present generation. an il-v iusirious living example of the pure and virtuous character of the statesman to whom we are indebted for our present admirable frame of Government. It IS indeed, glorious moral spectacle, to see the Father of the Consultation of re- ceiving the homage of the respect and ycneration of the children of those who have grown up and prospered under it's wings.

We translate the following address of the French Central Committee in fa- vor of the Poles, to the electors of France, from the supplement to the Courier Francais of the lst ofJune last: ssGeulemeu: Preparatory assemblies are taking place among you, Tn order 10 fx your choice between the different candid ales for the deputation; the day of elec- ton will. also. soon arrive, and you will meet in order to give Deputies to France. We imagine, gentlemen, that we should be conforming to your feelings by asking of you to cause these different meetings to result profitably for the Polish cause. 1t IS not necessary for us to explain to the flower U'eIitel of the French nation the right which our Polish brethren possess to onr affection. It is ise desire of all Tn France who are the friends of honor and their country, to seize every opportunity ofshowing to the world our admiration of Poland, and our wishes for her triumph.-- By this strong claim, the committee has seckoned on your cooperation. They propose to you to open subscriptions, the produce of which shall be destined to aid the cause of the Polish heroes, in the dreadful contest which they are waging SC goriously It will not be useless to unite with the nomination ofmen who are about to give Constitution to France, an ac- ton scryiceable to that generous nation who are contending so courageousiy fo' independence and liberty
 This address is signed by seventy four of the most eminent names of mod ern fralce, including that of the patsi Rssch of i:berty--i4ArAyErrE.

From the .Mashuitle (Tena.) Heruld.


 Are Banks necessary to the country?-- ifso, and we believe the necessity is not much questioned, is 1t not better for the community that we should have bank whose notes are equal to specie, and are current at par in every part of the Union, than that our circulating medium should consist of bank notes which will not pass beyond the limits of the State in which they are issued, unless at discounts-- Have the people forgotten the state ofthe currency previously to the establishment of branches of the United States Bank in the West? Or, bearing in mind, do they wish to see the Bank destroyed, and that glorious state of things return, when dol lar bank note was worth only si1ty-sir cents! Should the Bank of the U. States not be re-chartered, it does not require the spirit of prophecy to foretell, that again will the West be inundated by a flood ofnotes issued by banks without cap ita!. It Is idle to talk Of gold and silver constituting the circulating medium.

On the turf there will be every ne- cessary improvement: such as large stage for the accommodation of the Ladies, (who are particularly requested to attend,) which will be removed from the noisy part of the track, and at the same time give them a full view of the course. There will be large room, in which there will be a dinner given for the members of the Club, and others who may wish to dine. There will be number of large stables for the accommodation of the race horses, with plenty of such food as they may require.
