lNsURRECTIoN OF THE BLACKS IN
VIRGINIA.

On Monday, the 22d inst, in SOUTHAMPTON
county, Va, the negroes commenced an insur
rect;on by an attack on the family of a Mrs.
Whitehead who, with her five children, were
massacrsd, and their heads severed from their
bodies. On Tuesday the insurgents Organized
themselves into body, amounting to two hun.
bred, armed, well mounted, and headed 5y two
white men. They Were receiving constant ac
cessons, and on the close Of THAT day, the mum.
Der OF burlals of the whites had reached fifiv.
nine. In every case, the head Of the slain was
severed from the body
As soon as this intelligence was received n,
Norfolk Col. House, commanding at fortress
Monroe, embarked on board the steam boat
Hampton, with three companies and piece of
artillery for Suffolk. These troops were REIN
forced in the Roads BY detachments from the
United States ships Warren, and Natchez. the
whole amounting TO nearly 300 men.
Muskets, pistols, swords and ammunition
have been forwarded to Suffolk, by Com War.
rington.
The insurgents a:e armed with fowling
pieces, clubs, &c, and have had renconnter
with small number of the militia, who killed
six and took eight of them prisoners.
A letter from Norfolk dated August "a, says,
l have no fears of their doing much further
mischief. There is very little disaffscton in
the slaves generally, and they cannot muster a
lance. The few who have thus rushed head
long into the arena, will be shot down like
crows or captured and made examples Of
Another letter says, it is now 8 o'clock.
Thompson's stage has just arrived-,he above
statement is confirmed and in addition states,
that 300 negroes, we'll mounted and armed, and
headed BY one or two white men, is the amount
OF the insurgent force.
An express to Petersburg says that the blacks
were continuing their destruction; that tn rec
hundred militia were retreating in body, be-
fore six or eight hundred blacks. A shower of
rain coming up as tho militia were making an
attack, wet the powder much that they were
compelled to retreat, being armed only with
shot guns. The negroes are armed with mus
.kets, scythes, axes, sc. sc. Southampton
county lies so miles south of us below Peters
burg.
Later accounts state that several more fam-
lies had been murdered. A very valuable horse
which had beon taken from negro who was
shot, was not recognized as belonging to any
person in the neighborhood, nor could the rider
be recognized, This induced the suspicion
that the movement was in concert with distant
negroes. and tended TO increase the alarm.

FREE TRADE CONVENTION

Mr.. EDIroR: 1t was not my intention, When
1 sent you my first communication upon this
subject, to go into discussion on the subject
OF Free Trade, but as objections have been
suggested by you, in the course Of YOUR remarks,
to this system in the present state of our com.
merclal relations-and as / know nothing at
the present moment better entitled, from its
great Importance, TO claim the public attention
and fill the columns Of our public papers-i
VIII continue my remarks in reply to the add-
tional reasoning you have urged in your last in
favor of the present restrictive system.
The first remark made by you requiring ex-
animation is in tho following words SO The
ability of England TO purchase the cotton of The
Southern States docs not depend at all upon th-
contingency OF our buying or not buvInr ,ba;r
goods, but upon the simple fact, whsthe1 49,,
can turn the cotton either in raw ny

VIII ony 1t because il IS for their interest to do

the value of single cent" Now five wore the
only cotton growing country in the world it is
true Fngand would be obliged to purchase all
the cotton of us for her manufactures or give
snem up, notwithstanding we would not take
any of her manufactures in exchange for it.
and in such case must, if possible, find some
other way Of paving us either by specie OF by
the productions of other countries with which
she has commerce. But we do not happen TO
DO the only producers of cotton. There are
other parts Of the world, as Brazil, Mexico, In
dla, &c, which produce it, and though, per-
haps, they have not hitherto been able TO sup.
ply the English market upon terms as favora
BILE as we have done, yet would DO able to do il
upon terms moro favorable, if we refused tc
take English manufactures in exchange for it
For if England could give them her rnanuiac
torres in exchange for their cotton, she coulc
afford to give them higher price for it thar
she could give to US tive refused to take thom
