ratiOns. The project embraced ina whole slave region from Maryland to Louisiana. and contemplated the total destruction Ofthe white population of all the Slave States. and the ab- sOlutc conquest and dominion of the country. A large number of bold, euterPrising, and un- pFincipled white men are concerned In the scheme. scattered over the country, along the ~hOle line Of contemplated operations, who have succeeded in engaging the side of such among the negro population as, from their peculiar characteristics, were regarded as best suited to such an enterprise-the bold, the sa- gaciOus. the desperate. Arms and ammnni- ton have been procured, and deposited in va riOOs secret places, and all other arrangements effected which were deemed essential. The scheme Of the operations agreed on was as follows: On the night of the fourth Of July. an attack was to be made on the town Ot Yer non tn Madison cOUnty at time when most fits white population would be asleep. The whites. thus taken by surprise, were to be in- mediatsly bntchered. All the arms and am intuition of the town were to be seized, and the whole force of the insurgents. as rapidly aspOssible, was to he directed against the tow n of Livingston, where similar proceedings were to be had. By the time this could be accom- plishcd, tt was expected the whole body Ol the white population would be overcome with panic. and be constrained to fly from the scene of terror, and eveEy~ black in the country, able to wield the weapops of warfare, would be found arrayed around the insurgent standard This army Of iucendiaries was then to march upon the town of Clinton, burHing, sacking and laying desolate the whole country as they advanced. By the time the destruction o Clinton could be accomplished, it was expec ted that the insurgent army would be greatly strengthened, and amount perhaps to severa thousands. A precipitous march was then te be made to the county of Claiborne, along the skirts Of Warren, and the whole country upon the river bank was to be ravased ant inundated with the blood of men, women, ane children. &
 This development, as may well he suppos ed, produced intense excitement among those who had stood upon the briak of destruction Five white men. it is stated have been execu l ted, and some 10 or | 5 negroes. all in a sum
 mary way. and examinations and executions
 arc still going on. s aG .l-r
