been examined and found guilty of plot
ting an insurrectiou beyond the posi-

preachers, one Of whom preached to the
negroes Of Hopkinsyille, as . station
preacher. and received asalary Of $50
for his services. though slave. This
amount he agreed to give for the pur-
chase Of guns, ammunition, &C.. He has,
heretofore, stood as high as any other
man nthat place, and bis preaching was
listened to with much interest BY both
white and black. He is Of very dark
brown coioF, and quite intelligent. He
is owned by Rev. VIM. Jones, Of Ala,
bama, Professor in some college, and
formerly pastor Of the Presbyterian
church in that place. He was allowed
to preach wherever he pleased, and had
been invited BY tie whites Of Clarkesyille,
Elk,on and Cadiz, to preach in those
places. which appointments he filed with
great credit to himself, while i, raised
him high in the estimation Of the people.
Heretofore he has born an unexceptiona-
BILE character, and BY his Christian like
Bearing, had won the friendship Of the
members Of all demo ninations. Thus it

lion. Thus it was with Nat Turner,
in the insurrectioi Of Southampton Va.
He, TOO, was allowed TO preach where

master, YET we find that bis master was
