Negro lnsurrection timely suppressed. Yes.
terday morning news reached this city BY the
s,eamboa, Clipper No. l. Captain Laurent,
that contemplated insurtection on the part OF
the slaves was providentiay discovered in
West Fecana. The news, hough not a very
definite shape, spread with rapidly through
the city creating much excitement.
From Captain Laurent and other sources,
We have been able 10 gather the following iu-
formation relative to The subject:
On Friday night lhst. the oyerseer on Ro-
bert ]. Bauow's Plantation, in Yves, Felicia-
nu, happened TO 60 10 the door Of a negro
house and heard several Of the slaves discus
sing a contemplated instruction, 10 take
place on tho fret Of August.
A(er satisfying himself of their designs,
he Withdrew upperceived, asd early on Sun
day morning had them oil arrested. Thev
confessed 10 the existence Of the plot, impli
eating several negroes on the adjoining plan
latlons' The alarm spread like electricity,
in short time somo forty OF fifty negroes we're,
arrested. The citizens Of bayou Sara were,
preparing to Try the prisoners when Ceptain
Laurent left on Yesterday morning.
From all that can be learned, the ennspira~
ey extended throughou, the creator part Of
this State and the State Of Mississippi, and
tho waIch-word Of the wrelches TO be mo quar-
ter" ltis said that some " hils men were The
leaders in the diabolical scheme, and tha, two
of them have been taken; bul Of this Captain
Laurent did not inform us. The intelligence.

Defeat and CaptSrs Of a ColOred Troop
Of BandiHi. The following account is copied
from the st. Louis Argus of July %.
Great Battle in the Indian Country.
Large numbers Of Indians, negroes and mon
grels from Florida have been placed upon the
borders Of Arkansas and Missouri. By gen,
teman direct from Fort LeaVen orth we learn
tha! some 600 negroes from Florida and rum
aways from the Chociaws tnd Cherokeess and
from tho whites, united with few Indians,
and perhaps few white men, have been grad
ually associated in the fastnessos west OF Ark
snsas. Not long sIncs they marched high up
Red River and canpsd for the purpose Of
hunting buffalo. They built very tolercbIo
Fort with logs, surrounded with q ditch, to
protect themselves against all dangers. They
caught but few buffalo and therefore TO supply
their wants invaded the possessions of the
Choctaws and carried off cattle, poultry graln,
sc. The Choctaws followed but finding their
numbers and Notifications an ovsrmaich thew
retired and sent 10 Fort Gibson for tho u. s.
Dragons, Capt Moore Of Company D. was
sent to capture them with three companies of
Dragons, but after arriving on the Red Riv-
or no touad their entertainments too strong

He accordingly sent to Fort Towson aud was
reinforced with fne company Of infantry and
a couple OF pieces Of cannon.
The cannon were shortly brought 10 bear

rife: the dragoons routed them In all direc
tions, and, after putting large numbers te the
sword, succeeded in capturing the whole body.
The condnct Of the dragons is represented as
worthy of all commends,ion as regards both
sklll and bravery. The bravery and numbers
Of the refugees avaled absolutely nothing
agains, the irresistible charge Of the mounted
dragons.
This decisive blow will give security 10 that
exposed portion of our frontier, and convince
the refugee negroes and Indians that our dfa
goons may not be iridod with. The loss of the
dragons was unknown 10 our informant: he
