THE lNSURREcTIoN.-NEG CAUGHT
The rumored Instruction, which we

THE Washington Union, Of The 9th, has

that sixty or seventy runaways passed
through this city last night, en- route fol

Prince George, Charles, and St. Mary's

y two hundred citizens of Washington
and the vicinity have started in pursuit,
who will doubtless succeed in securing
most, if not all Of them"
On the 10Th, the National Intellgencer,
referring to the escape o. these negroes
has the following:
ave learn that they continued along
the road t o Rockville, diverging little 10
the right, so as not 20 pass through the
village, and then struck into the Freder-
ick road, and continued until they arrived
at place near Club,own, where they
werc overtaken by large party of arm,
ed citizens, on foot and on horseback,
whom the Sheriffof Montgomery county
had summoned to his aid, and who turn
ed out with alaority in pursuit Of the fu-
gitives. When the armed citizens over.
took the negroes, they were commanded
to surrender, but they refused, and imme
dlateIycommenced resistance, when it APP
peared that some Of them had pistols, and
one of them gun. One who had pis-
tol snapped it three times at a Mr.. jack
son, who then fred and shot his assalant
IN the back, severely wounding him.
The armed citizens were resisted so
vigorously by the slaves that it was found
necessary TO fire upon them. Eight we're
wounded, and seventeen more were cap
tured and conveyed 10 Rockville Jail,
where they we're confined. In the course
of last night six more Of the fugitives
were taken and put in jail-making up to

AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
We would remind our readers that they
will have to vote for or against the fol
lowing amendments TO the constitution o.
Mississippi, a, the next State election
The proposed amendments were passed
at the last session of the Legislature:
SECTION !. Be 1t enacted By the Leeis
tature Of Mississippi, 1.-TWO thirds Of each
branch thereof concurring) That the
second section Of the 7th article Of the
Constitution Of the State, under the title
or head "Slaves," be so altered and
changed as 10 read as follows, to-wit:--
SEC. 9. "The Legislature shall have, and
are hereby vested with power to pass
such laws regulating or prohibiting the
Of slaves into this State, as
may DO deemed proper and expedien,."
Those voting for the proposition here
in proposed, shall write on their tickets
the words "Slaves, amendment" and
those voting against it, the words
" Slaves, no amendment"
Also,
SECTION /. The Legislature, at the reg
lar session thereof, in the year one thou
sand eight hundred and forty-six, shall
pass law fixing the time Of hold ne
elections Of Governor, Secretary Of State,
Auditor Of Public Accounts, State Trea'
surer, Members Of the Legislature, and
Representatives in Congress; which law
shall provide that said elections shall not
be held al the time when other public of.
ficers are elected.
SEC. 8. That it shall be the duty Of the
several officers holding the next general
election, to ask the qualified voters, as
they present their tickets, whether they
are for or against said amendment; and
The several clerks shall make record
thereof, as the answer may be; and the
same shall be- returned to the Secretary
Of State, in the time and manner now
prescribed by law
The above sections Of the proposed
amendments are sufficiently explicit. The
FIRST proposes to invest the legislature
with power to enact laws permitting the
Introduction Of slaves into the State,
which cannot now be done under a clause
n the present constitution, which has
been in force since the first day of Janu-
lry, 1915.
The other provides for holding the cleo
ions for political and county officers at diff.
erent periods, The amendment in reIa-
ion to slaves is one OF considerable i'm,
Dortance TO the State.
