10 Atrocious Murder ?-On Wednesday
evening of the present week, 2 brothers of
the name of Manning returning to the city
in light skiff, from shooting excursion
down the coast, were hailed, by an individ-
ual from the Levee, when nearly opposite
the lower shugar refinery, and ordered to
come on shore. OF this summons, being
shmewh hat strange, they took no immediate
heed, which so irritated the rash man that
addressed the peremptory order to them, as
to cause him to procure from his dwelling
adjacent loaded musket.

~ Neao Orleans, Oct. 10.
BY the Brian Borholme, arrived yester-
day from Red River, we learn that plot
among the slaves had been discovered,
which is said to have been the been better
planned and better managed iilui my :
% e known. 1t appears that slave of a
rhnter, Mr.. Compton, informt d his master
that the negroes were forming plans TO kill
the white males, and to spare the females
ard children--and that if he would 90 to
a certain meeting house where his negroes
assembled for the purpose of preaching, he
would discover all their plans. Mr.. Comp
ton. did go in companyIwith four others, but
learned very little more Of the matter. His
informer then told him, that the ringeader
of the gang was one of his own slaves,
and that he had sworn vengeance against
his master, for taking him out of his fam
lily and sending him out to work into the
field,
The plan of this fellow, it appears, was
TO raise an insurrection first at Alexandria,
next at Natchitoches, and then to turn their
steps towards Orleans and kill all the whites
The negroes, however could not agree,
which frustrated all their plans. Ons par.
ty was for sparing the women and children
and the other for an ndiscriminate massa.
ere. Mr.. Compton upon learning these
facts, caused his house servant, the chief
to be arrested, and he confessed on the gal.
lows, that it had been his intention to kill
his master.

hung and thirty others taken and mprison.
ed; it is hoped that all their plans will be
discovered. A strong patrol and guard is
continued day and night and confidence is
established.
Besides the slaves, three free negroes were
hung and it was intended to drive away all
free persons of color.
We have further heard resort that Mr..
Fuzilin had shot white man who had
been plotting with the slaves Spaniard
! was also taken but succeeded in making
his escape.
A letter,it was stated, from the pious
and philanthropic Arthur Tappan was found
on the person of one of the slaves, inviting
10 the deed.

What miserable being is the gambler! How
hacked and torn his heart! How uncertain are all
his ways! The increasing avarice for more Of that
which is not his, gives him no peace. The rcgu-
larity Of business and the acquisition Of wealth IN
the usual way, are too mouosonous. His family
presents no pleasure for him. The smiles Of his
wife, the prattle Of bis children-the bright. peace
full 6reside at home, exchanged for the society
Of biasphemer., drunkards, revilers, extOrtOners,
and murdercrs!
