RICHMOND. Sept. &,

There are still REPORTS IN cIrcuiation-ihe mere
- cna. which come to US so directly, that we are
afra;d there is some truth in Tive noticed
some DAYS since, that a negro was taken up IN
Charles CITY, who was said to be the bearer OF
.Jesnatches, to the slaves in that neishborhood,;
which dispatches, he said had passed through
The hands of a shrewd Baptist Preacher IN the
county of Prince George. The report now Is
that on Thursday last an armed body OF white
mon went 10 the estate, to which this Preacher
bslours. TO take into custody any slaves that might
nrohably be connected with the recent ihsurrec-
f;on-that ON interrogating the o%Vcrseer, he des's-
n,tsd five of the slaves, whose fidelity he may
haxe OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES S OF them were taken
into custody-and that the other two, running
aft. were shot and it was feared killed.: ne three
apnrehended slaves were thrown into the jan OF
the county. From the way IN which TINS report
has reached Us, we fear there is too much truth IN
the s,atement-thOugh still we hope, colored
and exaggerated. We have not vet ascertalned
whether the Preacher is one OF the suspected. one
81 the wounded, or one of the three committed
TO pIison. ,.h l,.. n-o,.,-
There are other rumours, oimuch less Pfe'en-

1t is gratifying to state that the language held
bv our Editorial brethren of the North. in relation
10 the late disastrous occurrences, is entirely I'M
Objectionable. We have seen no taunts. no cant,
no complacent dwelling upon the superior advso-
tases Of the non slave holding states; on the con-
trary there has been a burst Of generous sympathy,
an unequiyocal expression of horror at The scenes
enacted BY the deluded wretches. We have no
doubt, that should it ever be necessary, the citl-
zens of the Northern States would promptly NY
to the assistance of their Southern brethren-we
speak of the vast majorIty-fanatics there are,
doubtless, who so fas from thus acting would not
very much scruple to foment disaffection and ex-
cite seryile insurrection.-Fred. .Arena.

might have been expected, and the consequence
would be, that here and there a slave weuld be
taken up, for examination. But though we do
not believe there is much, If any, cause for ex-

still to keep up a strict police, and TO follow up

Resotced, That public celebration of the en-.
suing 4th of July by the young men of Worcester,

Posi- OFFICES. We have never been
able, TIL within few days, to obtain the
annual return, made by the Post Master
GENERAL at the last session of Congress, of
the net amount OF postage accruing at each
Post Office within the several States and
Territories for the year ending March 30I
1881. We are now indebted for copy to
the attention of Joseph G. Kendall, Repre-
sentative of Worcester North District From
it we have compiled the following table of
returns for this County. The office at West
Brookfeld was omitted entirely, as were
also several others in the State, among
which is the important one of Pitts6eld.
The carelessness apparent on the face of
this report, may give some idea of the man
ner in which the duties of the General Post
Office are now conducted.

1t is said that at Che recent election of Repre-
sentatives in a certain town in the north mart NJ
TINS County, an attempt was made to revive the
barbarous practice, of offering TO the electors dis
titled spirits at the expense of the candidates. If
any person elected, has been guilty of connivng at
this offence against good morals, and the dignity
OF our Legislature, 1t is to be hoped, that he Wilt
have a particular seat assigned to him. where he
may have leisure and opportunity to review the
laws against bribery at elections, and ascertain IL
some further provisions are not required to proteco
weak and irresolute candidates for office, from
yielding themselves panders to the gross appe e
tites of the profigate par. the community. s..
