RUMORED SLAVE INSUkRECfIONs.
We notice in many Of our exchanges particularly in the
bsrn States accounts Of alarming slave instructions
in sysral OF the southern States. Some Of the e1-Fre-
mont papers particularly the New York Evening Post
New York Tribune and New York Herald give special at
ntou to these rumors, and publish them with indioa-
lions Of satisfaction that the slaves threatening to re-
he'll There is so little real truth in the details which are
thus paraded before the country that the southern people
who live in the localities supposed to be involved in such
horrors will be astonshed at the amount Of exaggeraton
and representation contained in the statements That
evidence has been discovered showing purpose the
mart Of few slaves in two or three localities make their
.y by force and violence to some free State have
doubt and this we have little doubt is the real and
ire extent of the rumored rebellion. The most serious
case located at iron manufacturing establishment in
Stuart county Tennessee where several hundred slaves
are engaged as hirslngs. At that point or two
white men were implicated and very probably are resPon-
,ble for the attempted insurrection.
The whole affair." however is attracting much more at
ouon at distance than the real facts justify and is
giving rise TO sectional structures which have no other
effect than to furnish temporary occasion for agitation
The Herald with its habitua reckessness chooses TO
sumo that the negroes got their their emancipa-
uon in the event of Col Fremonts election, from the
declarations and speeches of southern statesmen who
warned the country that such result might be followed by
A dissolution of the Union. This assumption is wholly
grauitous and has foundation except in the maigny
OTIS author No southern statesman ever looked to the
election of Col Fremont endangering the institution OF
slavery and such impression was made at the South
The more probable solution of the matter is, that
wicked white have been tampering with the
slaves and have found few of them disposed to listen
t. their counsels These may may not have been mis-
onares from such journals the Tribune and Post and
Tmes That there are missionaries in the South contrib
ting all in their power ALLEVIATE the two sections by the

O as these would doubtless rejoice in seeing the whole
South subjected to the horrors of St Domingo massacre
opt have sympathy for such plotters of sed

hopes to escape from its responsibility of the
lampons of black republicanism by turning upon and
uQsng its late associates and allies.
