which is as follows:

(somc eight miles below this undertook to whip
one of the hands, when the others interfernd and
rescued the culprit. Mr.. Mars the overseer, then
started out for assistance, and during his absence,
TIE negroes armed themselves with axes; hatchets,
clubs, scythes, stones &c, retreated to the gin
house babe defiance to the overseer and his friends,
and swore they would die, to a man, before one of
their party should be whipped. Mr.. Amos Duke,
in attempting to arrest one of them, was struck
across the side Of the head with u club, and, it is
feared, will lose one of his eyes from the effects of

citizens OF this place and Troy visited the planta,

to some inquiries from Mr.. Charles Tappan of
Boston, has written upon the results OF emanci-
patton il. the British West Indies. lie takes a
different view of the subject from that which has
generally prevailed, and which has been indus
triously circulated, Lut which indeed seems to be
giving way before observation and long expert
Gov. Kinks, says that sugar is made cheaper
with free labor than it was with slavery, that a
smaller number of hands obtain n greater product
from the same plantation, and as an important
test of the general prosperity, the price OF land
has materially advanced. A great improvement
has taken place in the African race, in education,
in religion, and civilization generally.
