The Winchester weekly appeal. [volume] (Winchester, Tenn.) 1856-1856, 1856-11-28

We have teen requested by vote OF
Mountain Division of the Sons of TEN
perance at this place, to state to its
members that business of Importance
is before the Division, and full at
tendance is requested at the next
meeting, which is this Saturday eve
ming, half past 6 o'clock. 1t is hoped
that the members will respond to this
call by filling the hall entirely full
The impression seems to be abroad in
the community that this institution is
dead, which we hope and think is a
great error. There is plenty of work
Tor it yet to accomplish, and we fer
vently trust that it NAV exist until it is
done.

VARIETY STORE.
90 q g
A. JOURDANs

A rumor having been circulated through
the country that A. Jourdan was about to
quit Winchester, it seems that her citizens
and The ncighborhood are trying to keep him
from going, as his custom has nearly doubled
since the spreading of that news. We think
he ought 10 be competent to give satisfaction
to his customers both as to price and to a good
selection Of goods, having had ten years ex-
perience in one of the largest houses in Paris,
(FRANCE), that great metropolis Of taste
and fashion,
We would say TO the public, if you want
good bargains and CHEAP GOODS, 90 and see
Jourdan, as there are but few in the many
that daily throng his store that are not salts
fed with him after giving him trial.

SGRv,l.r lNsURREcwoN.-Wc take the
following from the Nashville Banner:
I'VE learned yesterday from gen
tlemah just up from GAINESVILLE that
considerable excitement exists in that
place and throughout the country ad-
.jacent On account Of the discovery OF
the preliminary preparations Of an in
surrection among the slave population,
to come of on the 24ih Of December
Quite number Of negroes had been
arrested and confined, and several had
made confession. In the neighbour
hood Of louisa rurnoce, a plan to blow
up a cLurch was discovered and thwar.
ted. A krg Of powder had been plac-
cd under the building ready for tue
fatal mach. a large collection ofarms
and ammunition had also been diScov-
cred and seized. One white mon, we
learn, who was caught in the act Of
cOunscliing the instruction, had been
arrested and imprisoned. Among the
negroes arrested and confined are the
supposed rineleaders-tha generals
and captains as they are called -ofthc
movement. The general opinion pre-
walls in Montgomery county, as we
learn from GU, informant, that the plot
is deep laid, and embraces the slaves
throughout wide ext ut Of territory,
ranging from kentucky South and
West
At GAINESVILLE a strong extra patrol
is on duty every night, and SO well as
sured are the citizens that there is
ground for precaution, that nearly ev-
cry housekeeper is prepared with arms
for any emergency
We have seen several notices of
similar character in the newspapers,
but forbore to publish them, believing
their publication perhaps to be wrong,
fearing their tendency in a communi-
ty like ours. These servile attempts
at instruction are, however, becom-
ing too common not to be warned Of;
and we again repeat it, that negro
balls and frolics in our corporation
and vicinity should not be longer
tolerated. A stricter patrol ought to
be instituted amongst US, and it be-
comes every housekeeper to patrol his
premises nightly.
We would like to know for what
purpose our town council mas bell
rung every night at 9 o'clock. 1t is
an unnecessary thing. The negroes
do not care for it as signal to warn
them home, and never obey it. They
have every chance here for 6onspira-
cies and deviltry generally. Our town
needs patrol, and if we have safety,
let US have its parent, caution. We
say let us have these night frolics stop
ped-the times demandit The num-
Der of servie conspiracies during the
fall in various portions of the South
indicate too clearly that abolition en-
issaries are in Our community. Let US
all be on our guard, and every man
keep a rope and small supply of tar
and feathers on hand for sudden emer-
gency.
