REPORTED INsuRRECTIoN IN MARTINIoUE
The New York Evening Post, of the 2Sth
says:
Capt. Currie OF the brig w. J. Watson,
which arrived this morning from Ponce,
Porto Rico, informs us that while he was
at that place he saw letters which were
dated at ST. Pierre, Martinique, the 20ih
of May, and which were written by we'll
known merchants, stating that the ne
groes of the island had risen upon the
whites and set fire to the town. The
conf1a grafton of the town, ii was suppOs-
ed, was the signal for general insurrec-
ton of the colored people throughout the
whole island. 1t was seen on Ere at
three different places, and the fire con-
sumed some one hundred buildings, before
it could be suppressed. All the white
citizens of the place who We're able to
bear arms were enrolled III the militia,
and martial law was declared, while large
bodies o: negroes. from the surrounding
districts, had collected about the city.
At the last advices, some of the negroes
had been captured, and were then under
going trial, previous 10 their being shot.
But their uepredatlons had not yet ceaseu.
and the greatest alarm and excitement
prevailed.
St. Pierre is the largest and chief com
mercal town of the islaI.d OF Martinique,
situated at the extreme north OF the island,
and contains population OF some forty
or fifty thousand persons. The island
itself, one of the southernmost OF the
Windward Islands, in the Caribbean Sea,
has a population of nearly one hundred
thousand, of which eighty-six thousand
or more thau nine-tenths, are blacks.
This disproportion of number between
the whites and blacks is so great, that II
any serious Insurrectiun of one race
against another has been attempted, IL
must lead to frightful carnage and dis
aster.

HORRIBLE DIsCovERY.-A barrel close
ly headed and marked as freight, was
caught ia the Ohio, a short distance
above the mouth of Green River, last
Friday, upon opening which the body Of
man most horribly mutilated, was found
within. The head, arms and legs, had
been cut from the body and were in the
barrel. An inquest was held over the re-
mains by Coroner Halock, but as they
were entirely naked and considerably de-
cayed they could not be identified. APP
pearances placed the fact that he had
been foully murdered beyond doubt; and
we understand the jury ofinquest returned
verdict accordingly.-EUasuilte (Ia)
