0F The subjoined article we clip from the Union Democrat, published at Columbia in Missouri; and give it to our readers as an item of news. Until we read it in the Democrat. we were not aware that such state of things ex- isted in our midst:
 Negro InSurrectiOn.
 It appears that instructions among the ne- groes are becoming very common Tn Arkansas and Texas. A conspiracy was recently detect ed at Little Rock, in Arkansas, with their signs and passwords. There was considerable alarm among the citizens of the city in consequence of the disclosures. It appears from the facts gathered from the conspirators, that the plot at Little Rock was part or the same conspiracy which was recently detected in Texas and in Union county, Arkansas. Their schemes were deeper iaid-thcr intentions being to take the United States Arsenal at Little Rock. White men are at the head of the whole affair, no doubt, and we need not be surprised if some- thing of the kind should take place in Missou- II, ere long. Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas are three States as far from abolition conta- gions as any other States in the Union, and If these ootUes in sheep's clothing have the hardi hood and daring to go into these States and make such attempts, what might toe expect, who are infested with them all round? It be- hooves us to be as "wise as serpents, and harm- less as doves," lest we alarm the Freedom .St,ieh,s of the North. Think oft white men plotting treason with negroes against the whites their masters. Language would fail us to express ourselves, in regard to such men. Mur- der, rapine and arson are all bad enough but scoundrels make it all worse. They would set the negroes to murdering women and children in every way their wicked hearts could con ceive Surely the "d--l must be turned loose among them for season." We would advise owners of negroes to look out-thert can be nothing lost by watching.

PRINCE PASHKIEWITCH.

Prince Pashkiewitch, late Viceroy OF
Poland and Commander of the Russian
army, who recently died at Warsaw, was
descended from an ancient noble family
of Little Russia, probably of Cossack
origin. He was born at Pultowa on the
9th of May, 1882. Placed at an early
age, by the Empress Cstharine in the
corps of pages, he distinguished himself
as student. From this institution the
Emperor Paul took him to the Court as
a page Of the chamber, and soon after,
in 1900, made him his Aid-de-camp and
Lieutenant in the Prebajenski, regi-
ment always under the command of the
reigning Emperor. Pashkiswitch first
saw active service in 1905, having been
sent by Alexander to the assistance of
Austria against the French. He had at
that time attained the rank of CAPITA in.
In 1906 he was with the army in Tur-
key, and at the storming of Brailoff, in
1eo9' ne was SO badly wounded that his
life was in danger. He fought with dis
tinction at Smelensko, at Borodino. at
Wiasma, and at Krasnoe. He took mart
in the battle of Leipsic, was active in
the blockading of Magdeburg and Ham.
