FALSE ALARM.

Yesterday, about one O clock, an Elk
press reashed this place, in three hours
from Brookneal Campbell county with
the alarming intelligence that another
instruction of the Slaves broke out in
Halifax county, on the preceding night,
and asking for assistance. 1t was said
that the insurrection extended from
Barksdale's Store to South Boston, and
it was rumored that several families had
been murdered.-Greate excitement in
this place was the necessary consequence
of this information. Efficient measures
were Immediately adopted for the securi-
ty of the town; and about o'clock the
company of Artillery, commanded by
Capt. Samuel Steele, well mounted, pro-
ceeded for the scene of action, preceded
and accompanied by member of volun-
teerS.
About dark, however, they returned
stating that they had met another ex-
press, about three miles from town, with
information that it was false alarm =
The rumor originated in the assemblage
of some half dozen drunken negroes at
Barksdale's Store, in Halifax, who, how
ever had manifested nothing like re-
bellious spirit; and the imagination of
some one who saw or heard them man
ufactured the rest OF the story, murders
and all This shows Us how cautiously
persons under such circumstances ought
to act. Otherwise the cry Of "WOD!

when danger shall really come, no one

Difficulties on The IHaddWaScd.-The Port

undertook, on the strength of deed, to take
possession of lands which were in the posses

seven British soldiers and four United States

A serious riot occurred lately in Pro-
violence, Rhode-Island. For several sue
cessive nights large party of whites
had engaged in demolishing houses &C.
cupied by blacks, and one or two persons
had been killed on either side, and O.
theirs badly wounded. Atlength the eli
vii authority called out the military to
quell the rioters. The first time they did
not succeed, but the next night a larger
force was ordered out prepared with car
tridges and balls, and Procamations re-
peatedly made to the rioters to dispense.
These were answered only by pressing
of the crowd upon the military, and a
volley of missiles discharged on them
at last, unable to stand it any longer the
military demanded permission to fire
it was granted-seven were killed and
L number wounded-whcn the rioters
dispersed. They had demolished in all
about fourteen houses.

FO2EIGN NEWS.

Frdnce.-Ihe debate in the chamber of
Deputies on the answer to the kings speech,
was long and very warm. The hottest mart
of the debate took place on Monday August
1st, and began with call from an opposition
member for more explicit information respec-
ting the relations with Belgium, Italy, Portugal
and Poland. The call, after some explanation
by the ministers, was fatty refused. La Fay
cite then moved for information respecting the
invasion of the Papal States, by Austria, which
after some unsatisfactory remarks from Sebas-
tlani, Secretary of foreign affairs, was voted
down. La Fayette then moved an amendment
to the answer, urging the recognition of the
independence of Poland, and energetic remon-
strances in her behalf. The Minister of COM
merce opposed this amendment, on the ground
that nothing could be done for the Poles, ex-
lcePt by an open declaration of war, and that
Tor this, France was not prepared.--The a.
amendment. was negatived. Immediately NJ.
Bignon offered another, constructing the lam
lguage OF the speech sympathizing with the
Poles, into an assurance that the nationality of
that country was not to be destroyed. The
I Keeper of the Seals took the floor against this
amendment. 1t was rejected and the presi-
dent of the Chamber declared the discussion
closed. A question of order was instantly
brought up, whether the last amendment ought
not to have been put to vote first. and M.
Perrier attempted to address the Chambre,
but was prevented by the clamor of the opposi-
ton that he had spoken. He urged his pri-
Ivilege as minister, under the Charter, but
was constrained to desist; and to put an end to
disorder, the president adjourned the sitting.
On Tuesday, however, harmony was re.
stored. and, as if to heal the wound inflicted
on the feelings of the premier, NJ. Perrier, the
: Chamber gave him majority of 2ss--the
5 vote being 355 to rs.
So, it would seem that peace is to be pre-
SERVED though Poland perish.

SKETCH OF skRzYNEcK1.

General John Skrzynecki was born in GalIicia, in 17S7, and studied at Leopol. When the French armies entered Poland in 1906, Skrzynecki, then nineteen years of age, left his fathers house, and enlisted in the first regiment ofinfantry, command ed by Colonel Kasimir Malachowski, now General of Division, who lately covered himself with so much glory. At the open ing of the memorable campaign of 1909, in the Grand DucI,y of Warsaw, under Prince Joseph Poniatowski, Shrzynecki was raised to the rank of Captain in the 10th regiment, then formed by Prince Con- srantine Czartoryski. In the campaign of Moscow, in 1872, he was appointed Chief of Battalion; and in 1913 and 1914 he gave repeated proofs of his talent and in- trepidity. Llwas in the hollow square of his battalion that Napoleon took shelter at 1 Arcis-sur-Aube, when the regiments of the young guard gave way. The Polish so'- diers transferred the precious deposit to the French corps, which arrived soon after, and Skrzynecki charging the enemy under the eyes of the Emperor, beat them back with considerable loss. Appointed Knight of the Legion of Honor, and ofthe Militia ry Order of Poland, Skrzynecki returned 10 his country with the remnants of the Polish troops, and obtained the command of the 9th regiment of infantry, in the 2d brigade of General Ignacio Blumer, the same who received Is balls through his bo- dy on the night of the 29th November. Skrzynccki has distinguished himself on several occasions since the commencement of the present campaign, and his brilliant conduct in the great battles of February have raised him to the highest distinction soldier could pretend to.
