Chronicle, says g For the last few weeks there
has been an increasing excitement among the
pante and cllizens of Campte and Craps S
Bluff, arising from rumored reports of insubordi-
nation and intended outbreak among the slaves.
There appears to be a very strong conviction In
the minds Of the citizens that there is some
truth in the reports but as yet we cannot see
any thing to cause alarm They have taken pre-
stationary measures, appointed committees o.
vigilance, and organized active patrols. White
men are implicated as the leaders of the b acks
but, so far, no over act committed by them has
been discovered Yesterday a large party of the
citizens proceeded to the bank of the river, where
the Stale hands were at work, and arrested SIX
teen of them; they were conducted to Haichlto
CHI and placed in Jail there is yet no charge
made out aga ST them they are suspected o
completely in the contemplated outbi eak. Tit
negroes will probably be examined in the course
of a few days"
