The following paragraph, from long arti. cle in the .NatiOneI, is a specimen of their tone:
 Let, therefore, no attempt be made to excuse that which IS inexcusable; general reproduction must reject such infamous violence: and if the government accepts tiff shameful tolerance absolves these burners of women and children Is the government that must henceforward be re- sponsible before public opinion 1t is we that shall have to bear reproach for having allowed the hs- tory of our conquest to be sullied by these atroci ties, which remind one of what was most aboml- nable in the conquest of the New World. It is war which France carries on m Africa. We send soldiers there, and not ire-raisers."

 Negro Nsturecfion.-The plantation of MT. J. Williams, situated some eighteen miles south of this place, was the scene, few days since. of no little alarm and confusion-owing to the fact of the negroes thereon having refused to submit to the authority of the overSeer, Robert Hall, who had been left to manage them in the absence of their master. Mir Hall, in attempting to correct one, discovered that all were armed with danger ons and formidable knives, which they threatened to use upon him and neighbOr who was present. It is said that Hall succeeded finally in reducing the negroes to subordnation, but not until he had called to his assistance several of his neighhors, and had resorted to cold steel and powder aud ball. On Monday last, three of the negroes were brought to town in charge of the Deputy Sheriff, William G. Roper, and were lodged in jail to await their trial, at the next term of our Circuit Court, but were released on bail. We are not in possession of all the particulars of the above affair, hut have given them as we heard them.-Shieid, .drk0ns.

The advertisement states that he breaches and sings well, and 1t Is supposed he will try to make his living in that way The crime for which he is advertised is two-(old- he is black and was born contrary to the Declara- tion of Independence.
