FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE II, 1858
THE GREET NEGRO W.aR-F Ls.aLE
OF THE EaRcE.
The excitement gotten up BY the vague repor
Of negro instruction on Monday night, ane
which, ike rocket, pierced the moral atmos
phere, flashed and exploded, scattering fer
sparks but creating no permanent fame, hs
entirely funked cut.
In our hasty sketch Of the matter in Wednes
days edition, we were unable to do full justice
to the subject. An excitement so unprecedent-
ed, engendered Us it was by an idle rumor

the battle between 8 The Knight Of the woful

spread Devastation throughout the land and
cover himself with glory. In this state Of mind
he possessed himself Of arms, replenished his
military chest with the extensive sum of $50,
Prepared for war on his own hook, and set
about beating up recruits. It happened that

IN the city and interests al stake that he did not
wish to hazard on such an uncertain cast.
