DEATH OF Col. VIM. PoLK.-Slare
RedelliOn.-The Memphis Appeal, of the
23d ult., states that Col. William Polk.
residing at Walnut Bend, Arkansas, died
on the previous day, and that his slaves,
300 in number, were in open rebellion.
After his death they broke into the store-
house, aud freely helped themselves to
its contents-consisting of clothing and
groceries of various kinds. Some efforts
were made by the few white persons a.
bout the premises to restrain them, but
these were of no avail. The negroes al.
legged that their late master promised
them ifthey served him faithfully during
his life time, they should be free at his
death, and express determination to
free themselves. There was not suffi-
cient whites within many miles of the
place to put them down, and much troub.
