eT19EO runaway about the first of No vember last, from the possession of Joseph Pickens, living in the Big Cove, Madison county, Ala. Qrom whom I purchased him after he was decoyed off, or had absconded,) likely negro man named JACK, aged a. bout 35 years; above the usual size, being both stout and tall; very bow-legged; of a dark complexion approaching to yellow no scars or distinctive marks recollected; is a smart negro, and talks boldly, f1uently and well. The said negro was seen in Mobile on the 1st of this month, and by an advertisement in the Mobile Patriot of the following day it ac,aears that he had then left the possession of one Todd, by absconding. The said negro formerly belonged to certain Cornelius Todd, who sold him to Jno. Hardie of Whites burg, by whom, after an uGdisturbed posses sion of 12 months, he was sold to the subscri- Der, who afterwards sold him to said Pickens, but subsequently purt hased him again. The said Food always refused to execute a bilf- of sale for the said slave to MT Hardie, and left this part of the country about the time the ne- gro disappeared, but afterwards returned;- he has however been gone from this county for about months past. Under these cir cumstances, the strongest probability exists that the said Cornelius Todd has entieed said negro away.-The above reward will be paid for the delivery of said negro to me living a. bout 9 miles Northwest of Ditto's Landing, or 1qventy.fUe Dollars if he is secured in any jail in this State so that get him again.

From the " Y. american Of yesterday.

Insurrcction of the negroes an ". Caro-.
ina.-The following letter, containing
the unpleasant information Of an insur-
rection among the blacks in North Caro-.
lima, was received yesterday, by Mr.
Barnum, City Hotel.
RALEIGH, ilth Sept. 1881. Dear
Brother-I came to Raleigh last night
on business, at the same time expecting
to find letter in the office from you.-
l stayed in town all night, but was a.
reused from my sleep by the alarm that
the negroes were advancing towards
this place. Expresses arrived during
the night that Wilmington was in tht
hands Of the blacks and burnt. The
town Of Raleigh was under arms all
night, and this morning presents a
dreary aspect-women running ia every
direction almost distracted.
The leading men of the town are n,
this moment assembled at the Cour,
House examining number of negroes
All business is stopped and arms col.
lecting from all parts of the country
/ have inst been with party of gentle
men to examine all the ammunition in the
stores.
p. s. while writing the aboye, man
has arrived in express from Johnson
County, aud killed his horse on the
road, and hegs assistance for arms and
ammunition.
Since the above was in type, We have the
Fayetteville ~. C) Observer, Of Nth inst
which, though confirming the account Of IN.
surrcctionary movements in North Carolina,
proves that, at the tIme when, according 10
the Raleigh letter Wilmington was destroyed
by the blacks, 1t Il had not been eren assdiied
Raleigh is about one hundred miles north by
east Of Wilmington; Fayetteville is only dis.
,ant about sixty, in a north. east direction.
The date of the Fayetteville account is Of
Wednesday the 18th, and refers to accounts
from Wilmington direct, oftwo days before,
Monday 18th. The date from Raleigh is of
the 18Th and il was on the preceding night
namely, tho night Of the l2th--that OK
presses arrived announcing that Wilmington,
which wo know was standing and prepared
for defence on the morning OF that day, was
burnt. Independently of tho improbabilty
OF a negro forco being sufficiently organized
to carry q town thus on It's guard, the ex.
press--in order to mako the account true
must have ridden more than I00 miles over
mountain and morass, and through the re.
volted counties, (for Sampson and Duplin
counties I've between Wilmington and Raj
eigh.j in ten or twelve hours. We trust
confidently the whole may be false ,larIn,
growing out Of the arrest referred to by the
Observer.
Fayetteville was tranquil and prepared.
