From he Ney Orleans True American oh inst,

NEGRo INsuRREcrqoN BY the Brian Borhorme
arrived yesterday from Red river, we learn that a
plot among the slaves, had been discovered which
Is said to have been better planned and managed
than any before known. II appears that a slave Of
planter, Mr.. Compton, informed his master that the
negroes were forming plans TO kill all the white
males, and to spare the females and children--and
that if he would go to certain meeting house where
his negroes assembled for the purpose Of preaching
he would discover all their plans Mr.. Compton did
go, in company with four others, but learned very
little more of the matter His informer then told him
that the rngleader of the gang, was one of his
slaves and that he had sworn vengeance against his
MASTER for taking him out of his house and sending
him to the field The plan of this fellow, it appears,
was to raise an Instruction first at Alexandria,
next Natchitoches and then to turn their steps to
N Orleans and kill all the whites the negroes how
ever, could not agree, which trusted all their plans.
One party was for sparing the women and children,
the other for an indiscriminate massacre. Mr..
Compton upon learning these facts, arrested his
house servant the chief, and he confessed on the
gallows, that it had been his intention to kill his
master
On the 10Th and l2h instant nine were hung, and
thirty others were taken and imprisoned il is hoped
that all their plans will be fully discovered A strong
patrol and guard is constantly kept up by day and
night and confidence is continued.
Besides the slaves, three free negroes had been
hung, and ii was intended to drive away all free
persons of color.
The Bee says, two companies Of United States
troops have been stationed throughout the dsaected
district Every thing is now quiet and the negroes
completely subdued.

must meet the appreciation of the generous, His is
a noble attitude: bold and determined in his love
of couniry-undismaye amid the tempest which

consistency and honesty which he will never have

LINE OF BATTLE SHIP Omo.-This noble ship,
which has been recently fitted out at oar Navy Yard,
under the direction of Commodore RlpGLEY anchor
ed yesterday morning in the North River, off the
Battery where she will remain few days previous
to sailing for Boston, under the command of Captain
LAWRENCE kEAaNEY. This ship, though launched
IL years ago, has never been rugged or fitted out till
now; she has undergone thorough overhauling
from the waters edge up, but owing to the of a
drydock at this station it has become necessary to
send her to Boston to be locked and have such part
OF her bottom and keel repaired as could moi be
reached while afoat.
The Ohio was built by the late HENRY EcKFoRD of
this city in 1890, and is acknowledged by all TO be
one Of the most perfect models that ever oaied; Sc
veral attempts were made to interfere with her con
sruction whilst on the stocks but Mr. Eckford firmly
resisted saying, IL build the ship at ALL it must be
on my own plan, and am willing TO risk my profess
sional reputation the result" The result Is that
she is decidedly the finest looking line of battle ship
in our Navy, and from the beauty of her model, we
hazard little in advancing the opinion that her quail
ties at sea WILL in every respect equal her appear

ULrRAIsM--If we understand the doctrines Of loco
focoism, it appears that notwithstanding all their
canor against banking institutions and their cry for
exclusive specie currency, they are not SO much
opposed tobanking to the incorporation of banks
BY legislative auth rity. They are disposed to
countenance banking by single individuals or any
number of individuals who may choose to set up a
bank without any responsibility whatever and leave
them at liberty issue their shin plas,ers to any
amount or of any denomination they please, thus
leaving the poor labori classes to be preyed upon
and cheated out of their daily labor BY set of I'M
prncipled harpes and cut-throais. Can any sensi-
bic man submit to such state OF things? We think
foco's at least to do away with all civil instu-
tons and leave every man to fight his way through
the world in the best way he can, with Lynch law
on every step he takes. In word, to reduce us in
to that state of Vandalism, when the strong made
serls and slaves ofthe weak and the cunning cheated
and defrauded the ignorant.-Hadson Gazette.

FROM FLORIDA.

The schooner Oscar Capt. BUCKINGHAM, arrived
yesterday afternoon from St Augustine bringing us
the Herald of the 21st inst. from which extract
the following article, relative to the capture Of Pow
! ell. We have also been favored with the annexed
extract of letter received by gentleman in this
city.
| Capt Mock, of the steamboat Florida, who arrived
last evening from ST. Augustine, informs us that
Powell and all his wrrriors we're safely lodged in
the Fort.
Extract of d letter roa gentleman at ST. Augustine
to one in THIS city, dated Oct. 22d
We made glorious haul yesterday. Powell,
and all the war chiefs except three, are now lodged
in the fort, with eighty of their warriorsthe bone
| and sinew Of their nation. Seventy negroes came
in day or two since, and large number are now
at Volusa, whittier steamboat goes this morning to
get them.
Powell and his band came in with the avowed
intention of having talk but probably with the real
one Of endeavoring TO rescue Philip, who fell into
our hands some days ago, as all were armed Yes
terday they arrived about nine miles from here, and
sent in a messenger TO General Hernandez who
went out to see them Gen Jesup also proceeded
to the vicinity of their camp, and while they were
talking with Gen. A. they were suddenly surround
ed by two hundred horse so suddenly that they had
not time to raise single rifle though all had one by
their sides. They were marched to town, and are
now safely under lock and key and there they will
be kept if watchfulness and strong guard can keep
them there"
The writer says he does I" not think this will i'm

from the reptile, SO that he can no longer bite"

cretary Of the Treasury has obtained engraved
blanks OF the Treasury notes authorized by law, and
they are now issuing in proper cases for disburse-
ment and in exchange for specie.
We understand that the present emission bears an
interest ofwo per cent and is chiefly in notes of fifty
and one hundred dollars each wilfprobably be most
convenient to the public to issue them at first in
these denominations and at low rate of interest as
by this means they may be used as medium for dis
ant remittances instead Of being laid aside for in
vestments as would undoubtedly be the case If the
rate of interest upon them was fixed at near the
maximum allowed by law.

are appropriate, and we consider them finely en-
