>"There has been a great stir among
the blacks in this and the surrounding
counties. Christmas was the day appoint
ed for the insurrection, but the news got
out, and it was therefore stopped. 1t was
a fearful time, | assure you. Stalkville
was all in readiness for them. Almost
eUery house had their guns loaded, and
e0as ready for the attack. Patroles were
appointed, which went round every night
10 keep all at home, and to whip all they
might catch abroad 1 believe this was
all that kept them down. Several Of Mrs.
-- negroes were confined. 1t is said
that there were several white men hid in
swamp, who were designing to head the
insurrection. In Sum pier co., Alabama
several white men were caught and hung.
Some Indians, also, Were doing all they
could in order to regain their lands.
| have often wished that I was in a
land of freedom where there were no
slaves. If this plot had not been discov-
erred in time, there might have been much
blood shell. We are exposed to great
! danger here Cincinnati Watchman.

When Christian People feel them
selves to be overtaken by great public
calamity, it becomes them to humble them
selves under the dispensalion of Divine
Providence to recognize His righteous
government over the children of men, 10
acknowledge His goodness in time past,
as we'll as their own unworthiness, and 10
supplicate His nerciful protection for the
/ future. ..:...
