Reported Negro InsurrectiOns-.
What has Lead to Them.

Tor some WcckS past the Journals from
different Southern States have noticed
alarms Of contemplated negro risings. In
Tennessee, in Missouri, in Virginia, and in
Alabama, the danger has appeared inmi-
nent enough to call for severe measures to
prevent the colored population from congre-
eating or visiting after night, to suppress
their customary attendance at neighbor-
hood preaehings, and to require vigilant
watch upon all their movements, by an ef-
ficient patrolling system. Just now great
excitement exists in Southern Kentucky
and in the adjacent portions of Tennessee,
and an extensive insurrection had been plan
ned by the slaves ofthat region.
At Hopkinsrille KY, Dec. Sd, the town
was up in arms, the cry, "The negroes are
marching upon u.s. being heard from every
mouth. The people Of Lafayette, small
town g miles from Hopkinsyille, sent mes
sengers for relief, as they were momentafi-
ly expecting an attack from 800 negroes.
A force of $50 persons left Immediately for
the seat of war. 1t was reported that the
negroes of Eclipse, Clark and Lagrange
had risen and were marching towards Do
yer, with the intention to release the slaves
at that place, then march to various towns
until they should reach the Ohio river.
The CIarksville, Tenn, Jefersonian, of
the Sd, announces the arrest of several ne
groes in Stewart county, and states that
the revelations made on their examination
implicate n large number in Gainesville
who are now in durance. One negro had
been shot down at LouisaF urnace, and the
Nashville Gazette of the 4th states that
TIE city was rife with rumors in relation to
the insurrection at different points along
the river. Six negroes who had been
found guilty at the Iron Works had been
executed, and two white men, known to be
accessories in the proposed insurection, had
been arrested and nearly whipped to death.
-Four negroes taken at Dover were to be
hung on the 4th. iaa
Through what is called the Iron Dis
trict, on the Cumberland and Tennessee
rivers, there are from 5000 to 10000
slaves employed in the various iron works.
1t is among this class that trouble is threat
ened and arpreheuded. The Evansville
Journal ofthe 9th learns that the conspir-
oey is wide spread, that a number of the
ringleaders had been arrested, and eleven
of them had been hung by the excited in
habitants. A white man painted and dis
guise as a negro, and believed to be prime
mover of the rebellious designs of the ne
groes, had been sentenced to nine hundred
Iashes. He expired before the penalty had
fully inflicted. CONSERVATION and terror
women and children were fleeing,
The men were arrniug and organizing, and
the negroes were being confined, or kept
lnder very vigilant watch.
The time fixed for the insurrection was
he gath of December. In the neighbor-
hood of Louisa Furnace collection ofarms
md ammunition had been discovered and
seized, and the opinion is that the plot IS
ieep laid, and embraces slaves throughout u

Marshal to Poland, to visit your relations
It's better that We should not meet so of

but pure and virtuous woman is more

"You are in strange mood tonight,
Prince" answered the Widow, and the
trembling of her voice and heaving of hel
bosom showed the working of her mind
"Nop answered Philip. 81 am in as "a

life.. I wish only TO repair an injury;
have promised your husband to do so."
"Howr, exclaimed the Widow, in a tone
of inexpressible rage,-"Prince,-you may
be forgiven this, but not from me. 1 new

deceitful, but you are unworthy ofa thought.
You are an imposterl My husband in the
dress of a barbarian is a prince, you in the
dress of prince are barbarian. In this
world you see me no more!"
With these words she turned proudly
away from him. and going up to the Nam
eluke, they left the hall in deep and ear
nest conversation. Philip laughed quietly,
and said to himself, "My substitute, the
watchman, must look to it, for l do not

returns he will proceed as L have begun
He went up to the dancers, and was de
lighted to see the beautiful Carmelite
standing up in seat with the overjoyed
Brahmin. No sooner did the latter per
ceive him, and in dumb show gave him 10
understand in what blessed state he was.
Philip thought Its pity l am not to be
prince all my lifetime. The people would
be satisfied then: TO be prince is the
easiest thing in the world. He can do
more with a single word than a lawyer
with an hours speech. Yes! if l were

Curious Effect of an Explosion.

You have probably told your readers of
the explosion of the Acton Powder Mills.
1t exceeded in its terrific effects any pre-
vious one. But two persons were killed.
One man was torn into fragments. The
other was thrown to great distance, and
stripped of everything but his India rubber
shoes. Poor fellow. He had been at the
dangerous work but one day. The mill
that first exploded was running with no
one in it at the time. When this went off
the air was filled with flying, blazing tim
Der, which in an instant communicated to
two Others. In one of these were the two
unfortunate men who were killed.
The other mill-the dry house-had
but little powder in it, which blew of the
roof. 1t then took fire and was consumed.
A fourth mill had two hundred kegs Of
powder inside, which was not ignited, al
though the entire boarding was stripped off
end many beams broken. Two men were
at work in the Wheel pit, and crawled ont
in the stunning noise to see the fragments
flying in all directions. 1t was an awful
spectacle. Three mills exploded. The
wind was very high, and the woods took
fire. 1t was expected that the shattered
mill, from which the men had escaped,
would blow up every moment. The fire
was seen within rod of it, and the pow,
der was exposed to the least spark.
After watching it for some time, man
at the peril of his life, took bucket of wa
ter, and crawled on his knees to where the
ire was blazing, ard extinguished it 1t
seems little singular that from every
building the pressure was outward. Boards
we're broken out, windows fell out; ono
ront door of a large house, a quarter Of p
nile distant, burst out. A window in my

THE ANSWER.

We misc thee a. home. Yes! We miss thee
Since the hour We bade thee adieu,
And prayers have eneircled thy pathway
From anxious hearts, loving and true,
That the Saviour would guide and protect thee
As far from the loved ones you roam,
And whisper, when e'er thou vert saddened,
They miss thee-all miss thee at home.
When morning awakes us from slunber,
We catch from the lips the first kiss;
And fold in a wandering zephyr,
To be waited to him whom we miss:
aAad when we had Joined the home-circle,
And replaced the still vacant chair,
And each eye arises the gathering tear-drop,
ei For him we were wont too see there.
The shades ofeyening are falling!
3 o, where is the wanderer now, -ra-
The breeze that floats gently around me
g. Perehanee may visit his brow. ilIr
Oh, bear on thy bosom message, fs. ..'
We are watchingg-oh, Why wilt thou roa,n7
Ihe heart has grown sad and detected, so.-
For we miss thee-all miss thee at home.
Thy smile was the sweetest, the dearest,
Thy voice ever thrilled through the heart,
And thy glance cas-. magic spello'er Is,
= That bade every sorrow depart.
Shall We meet thee again-may we welcome
Those tokens within thy dear home,
And bind the loves deep affection,
q Topledge us again ne'er to roaml
Then hasteto thy home, dearest Brother.
With trembling impotence we wait
70 clasp thee again to our bosoms, -t
And hear thee thy wanderings relate.
Then Hope will arise, bright, unclouded.
And joys purest sunbeams excite, -.
When thee kindly remembered absent
Shall again the home circle Unite.

Do they miss me at ,,,omei do they miss rnes
? T would be an assurance most dear,
To know at this moment some loved one
We're saying, Il wish he were here;"
To feel that the group at the freside
Were thinking Of me as roam,
Oh. yesl 'twould be joy beyond measure
10 ksor that taeymiss me at homef
When twilight approaches the season
That ever was sacred to song,
Does some one repeat the name over
And sigh that tarry 50 longf
And is there chord in the music ..y gs,.
That's missed when my voice is away
And chord in each heart -throb that maketh
d Regret st my wearisome stay3 s ..
Do they vet me a chair at the table.
When e'ning's home pleasures are nigh
And lamps are Lit in the parlor.
And stars in the calm azure sky7
AID when .he good nights" are repeated,
And each1ays himself down to sleep.
Dothey think Of the absent, and waff me
A whispered "good night DER the deep,
O. Do they miss me at homer do they miss me
sai At morning. at noon, and at nightf
And Gnger one gloomy shade round them
cd That only my presence can light? ~
Are joys less invifingly welcome;
Are pleasures less hailed than before:
Because ene is missed from the circle
Because am with them no moref
Oh. yesi they do miss mel kind voices
Are calling me back IS roam;
And eyes are grown weary with weeping.
And watch but 10 welcome me home
Kind friends, We shall vail me no longer.
III hurry me back DER the seas;
For how can tarry when followed
By watchings and prayers such as these.
