MISCELLANEOUS.
DRESS AND ADDRESS.

From Goodrichs Recoechons. :.
Jefferson was, or affected to be, very ample
in his TASTE dress, and manners. He wols pan
falcons instead of breaches, and adopted ltather
shoe-strings in place of buckles. Thete and
other similar things were praised by lis ad-
mirers as signs of his democracy-a certain
coarseness of manners, supposed to be epcour-
aged by the leaders, passed to the led. Rude
ness and irreverence were at length deemed
democratic, if not democracy. An an icdote,
which is strictly historical, will illustrate this.
About this time there was, in the EASTERN
part of Connecticut, clergyman by the name
of Cleveland, who was noted for his WITT One
summer day, as he was riding along, he came
to brook. Here he paused to let hi. horse
drink. Just then, a stranger rode in % the
stream from an opposite direction, I'D his
horse began to drink also. The auimJls APP
preached, as is their wont under such (ircum-
stances, and thus brought the two men ace to
face.
How are you, priest? y" said the stranger.
"How are you, democrat ?" said the larson.
How do you know am a democrat" said
one.
How do you know 1 am priest !" said
the other.
~ know you to be priest by your ;dress, y
said the stranger.
I" know you to be democrat by yi4ur ad-
Dress" said the parson.

Slave Insurrection in Tennessee.

Fifteen Negroes Killed by their O,cnerS-E1cren
Others Hung-A White Nan Wkippcd to
Death-Seizure Of arms ana Ponder, dc.
Cincinnati, Dec 9-The Louisville Journal
correspondence Of to-day says there is great
excitement at Franklin, Tennessee, owing 10
the projected instruction among The slaves
there. Twenty-four muskets and two kegs Of
powder had been found in the possession Of a
gang Of negroes at Columbia, Tennessee.
In Perry, Tennessee, fifteen negroes had
been killed by their owners.
The Evansville Journal, of the 9th inst,
learns that there was much excitement in the
neighborhood of Dover, on the Cumberland
river, among the negroes. Many Of the ring
leaders had been arrested, and eleven hung.
One white man, disguised as a negro, had been
sentenced to nine hundred lashes, but died be-
fore the penalty was fully inflicted.
The whites were arming and organizing for
defence. An opinion prevailed that general
uprising would take place among the negroes
during the holydays. Escapes of slaves were
unusually numerous.
Nashville, Tenn, Dec. l0.-There have been
rumors current here Of an expected Instruction
among the slaves, but all is quiet now. There
has been no outbreak, and there is no anxiety
felt on the subject.
The correspondent OF the Louisville (Ky.)
Courier, writing from Hopkinsyille, says that
the people Of Hopkinsville despatched COM
pany of men to Lafayette but they found, on
their arrival there, that the people were more
scared than hurt, and therefore that they re-
turned the next day.

ocrai takes occasion to make use Of the fol-
lowing plain language:
ain Missouri. especially, have we felt the
effects Of this Slavery agitation and Slavery ex-
tension policy upon the part of the notification
faction, who have sought to float into power
and office by continually exciting the passions
of men, and provoking discussion in regard to
this theme and we venture to assert that, In
consequence thereof, more slaves have been in
duced to escape from their masters, more des-
perate resolutions have been put into their
heads, and more general insecurity entailed
upon that species of properly, within the past
year, than during any five years preceding.
Shareholders are but now beginning to reap
the baneful consequences CT the audience
which has been granted Of late TO those debased
politicians whose only stock in trade was Sla-
very propagaudism. The ferment excited in
the minds of the masters soon extended itself
to the slaves-for all who have lived IN slave
holding communities well know how eagerly
every scrap Of parlor conversation, every ex
cited harangue on the stump, or loud-toned
dispute in the streets, is treasured up by the
negro, and made the burden Of kitchen com
ment during the hours Of the night. Ii no
other evil had befallen the people Of Missouri,
and especially the slaveholding population, this
alone would be sufficient ground TO induce
them to Danish these pestiteTous politicians
from their regard, and visit upon them the full
weight Of their censure and condemnation. No
other means presents itselfof so speedily giving
peace to the community, security to the cOun-
try domicil, and elevation to the character Of
the Stale, as the utter Republication of the Atchi
sons and Stringlellows, aud all others of that
kidney, who have disgraced our Commonwealth
with impunity in the past, and who would lead
our people into still more dangerous straits in
the future

Negro Instructions.

We have met with various accounts in our
exchanges, during the past few months, Of
threatened negro instructions in the extreme
Western and Southern States, which, for salts
factory reasons, we did not copy, or, otherwise
noticed very briefly. These reports begin to
thicken, and as they emanate from points near
err our own territory, it is proper that we should
give them publicity. We have not heard the
first whisper of a suspicion against the subordi
nation of the slave peasantry in Virginia, but
the same poison which has infected the West
ern negroes may exert its baleful influence
here, unless the antidote is kept in prudent
readiness. The NaShUitLe Gazette, OF the 4th
inst, says:
sour city yesterday was rife with rumors in
relation 10 the instruction at different points
along the river. We understand that six ne.
groes, who had been found guilty at the iron
works, and who threatened second outbreak,
were killed few days since, and that two white
men, known accessories in the matter, had been
arrested, and nearly whipped to death. 1t is
also reported that four negroes will be hung in
Dover today, and a number of others have been
arrested as implicated in the affair.
"Wherever these outbreaks have occurred
we have every reason to believe they have been
instigated by white men, who are sent here
from the North to disturb the peace of our
sunny cline. They are the missionaries of
Northern Abolitionism, and to rid that section
of our country Of such thieves and villains, they
are sent here as a fit place for their labors.
Their plots are intended to benefit themselves,
and they would resort to murder, incendiarism,
and every vile project, to accomplish the desires
of hellish heart. These are the men whom
zoe should acdtch, and whenever found in our
midst, they should receive the punishment they
deserve"

THE BIG AND LITTLE QUEUES


A very keen observer then and Ion, latter
wards Senator of the United States, os,ce told
me that at this period, all the BARRIERS iis Wash
ington were federalists, and he imputed it to
the fact that the leaders of that party IN Con-
gress wore powder and long queues, and of
course had them dressed every day by tie bar
Der. The democrats, on the contrarS, wore
short hair, Or at least, small queues, led up
carelessly with ribbon, and therefo,e gave
little encouragement to the tonsorial arr:
One day, as the narrator told me, while he
was being shaved by the leading barber of the
city-who was, of course, federalist- the lat
ter suddenly and vehemently burst out against
the nomination of Madison for the Proficiency
by the democratic party, which had that morn
ing been announced.
"Dear me f" said the barber, surely this
country is doomed to disgrace and shame, What
Presidents we might have, sir Just look at
Daggett Of Connecticut, and Stockton of New
Jersey! What queues they have got, sir-as
big as your wrist, and powdered every ,Iay, sir,
like real gentlemen, as they are. Suth men,
sir, would confer dignity upon the Chies Magis-
tracy; but this little Jim Madison, with queue
no bigger than pipe-stem Sir, it is enough
to make a man forswear his country "
