Y..TUEs AUGUST II,

SLAVE TRAeBDIEs.-Our late Southern
exchanges contain accounts of an unusual
number of murders by their slaves:
1.-The Trinity [La.) Independent says that
George w. Hacker, employed by H. d. Man
deville, as overseer on his plantation near
that place, was found dead on the morning
of the LIST ult., under circumstances which
rendered it probable that he had been mur.
dered. A post mortem examination of his
body was made by physician of the neigh
oorhood, but no traces of poison were detect
ed, nor anything noticed that seemed to be
satisfactory evidence that violence had been
used. After waiting the developments of
time, suspicion became strong that Hacker
had been murdered by a combination of
number of slaves on the plantation. The
suspected parties were arrested and oues-
toned separately and apart from each other.
Two negro men made a full confession Of
their guilt, and, without the possibility of
concert gave the same statement of facts in
relation to the murder. Death was produced
by suttocation. sufficient number of the
conspirators entered the house of the deceased
in the night and perpetrated the horrid act.
The two slaves who confessed their participa
ton in the murder were to be tried on the
2Sth ult.
A young man named Jacob D. Robbins, of
N4Isoh county, N. u, was murdered by one
Of the slaves of his father, near the residence.

took to whip one of the hands, when the
others int .fered and rescued the culprit Mr..
Mars, the overseer then started out for assist
ance, and during his absence the negroes
armed themselves with axes, hatchets, clubs.
scythes, stones, &C., retreated to the gin
house, bid 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 club, and, it is feared, will lose
one OF his eyes from the effects of the blow.
Things continued in this state up to Tues
day last, when a party of some seventy five
citizens of this place and Troy visited the
plantation, and arrested every negro on the
place. They were tried the next morning
before Judge Fisher, who committed four OF
the ringleaders to Jail to await the action of
the Grand Jury. The balance, some fifty or
sixty were whipped according to their several
deserts

HARMoNIkL TOWNSHIP CONVENTION
Spiritual Age, Banner of Light Practical Chyis-
tiaa, and New York Tribune, publish call,
signed by Daniel c.. Gates Of this city, in behalf
Of the movement for select convention in this
city. Sept. 18th and 10th, of those in favor of
the "HaFmonial Colony Movement" originated
by Mr.. Gates. The Practical Christian, edited
by Rev. Adm BAllou, at Hopedale, Milford, pub.
fishes the following summary Of Mr.. Gates is
plan:
"Bro. Gates's Diagram contemplates an area
Of some 5000 acres, laid out follows 40
acres in the centre for a common and public build
lngS; 6UU acres around this common for village
site; and around this village site 40 group farms
containing each SINGLE farms thus giving so
acres each to l68 actual settlers. The village
site is to be divided INTO l6S equal lots one of
which lots is TO belong TO each original owner of
an so acre farm He proposes that government
lands. or other unsettled territory, be purchased
in sufficient quantity lard od BY accurate sur
yey, as above, and tngn decided At cost on proper
conditions TO individual members of the Associa-
ton. These are presupposed to have previously
invested, or furnished in some form, the requisite
funds to carry the thing through"
The convention will be held at Horticultural
Hall, and all persons who take working inter-
est in the cause, are cordially invited to be pres.
ent. Rev. Adm Ballou, as cordial friend, ad
wiser, and promoter Of the enterprise, has en-
gagged to be present, and to submit for discus
sion, such specific documents and plans of ope
ration, as, in his judgment, may be requisite to
success.
The Banner Of Light, in abiding to Mr. Gates's
plan, says:
at has in it the elements Of success, uasmuch
as it takes hold Of life it is, instead of en-
deavosing to inaugurate system too far in adj
vance Of this material age. Each man is pro
prietor to such land as he may purchase, and of
such buildings as he may erect thereon, thus &C.
knowledging the right to hold property individ.
ually. By assocating, the owners obtain their
land at cost. Each man follows his own trade
for his own benefit In this way an enterprising
colony may be established, individual rights re.
spected. and yet all it's members be bound to-
gether in love and peace. for, what is for the
goot OF one and the thrift Of each, will enhance
the value of all property"

MILITARY.-The third division of the Massa-
chusetts Volunteer Militia under command of
Major General Morse, of Leominster, will go in-
to encampment on the Dist, 22d, and 23d days
OF September, the time being changed to few
days earlier in September. The third division
consists of three regiments, one battalion, and
one horse company, at Springfield. The en-
campment will probably be held at Springfield
There is no truth in the rumor that General
Morse thinks of having the muster at Sterling
Junction. An arrangement SO clearly unjust to
the troops in the western counties, would not be
entertained for moment by Gen Morse.

Hughes telegraph machine, which were of
highly successful character. The lines from
Boston to Bangor, thence back to Portland,
over the Grand Trunk route to Montreal, and
thence, by way of Buffalo and Rochester, to
New York city, were all connected, and mes
sages sent through without any difficulty, and
with no apparent difference in the time of

CALIFORNIA WINE AND Brandy The
San Francisco Price Currett remarks as fol-
lows on this production. The Brandy spoken
Oh Is quoted at three dollars Ter gallon:
"Cslltornia brandy, distilled from the ma
tive grape, can now be bought in the market.
and OF a quality equal to the average brands
OF Cognac imported here, and greatly superior
to the Rochelle brandy. Messrs. James r.
McDougall & Co. were the pioneer manufac.
turers Of California grape brandy, and have
for some months been making regular sales to
the trade from their dlstillation Of Inst season.
which amounted to the very respectable guam
tity Of five hundred octaves. Some of their
brandy was shipped to New York, where it
met with favor, and realized for first con.
signment high figure. From the grape
crop this year it is estimated fifty thousand
gallons will be made, 300 to 400 per cent.
more than last year. At this ratio of increase
we do not hesitate to say that three years
hence fine brandy will be one of our export
able products
For two years past various classes of wine.
made from the native grape of Los Angeles,
have been growing upon popular notice and
favor. The Alta California lin an article on
the methods of making California Wines, ~
says tits estimated that one hundred and fifty
thousand gallons of wine were made in the
State last year, and from the grape crop this
year it is expected three hundred and fifty
thousand gnllons will be manufactured. A
great number of new vineyards have been
planted in the vicinity of Los Angeles since
1858, and the annual grape crop since then
must have increased enormously.
The Alta says 1.-THE grape chiefly grown
in California for making wine, is of Spanish
stock, and was introduced by the priests when
they established their missions, between the
years 1869 and 1880. The VINE is hardy and
healthy, and the berry juicy and strong. An
acre of vines is calculated to yield one thou
sand gallons of wine, and never less than
eight hundred, although four hundred is con-
sidered an average yield to Ohio and Europe"
Almost every variety of grape known is, how
ever, being cultivated at various points
throughout the State.

PosT OFFICE RoBBERIEs.-Mr. Carter, post
master at Pulaski Ky, has been committed for
trial at Frankfort, that State. for robbins the
post Office department. His plan Of operations
was to address letters to the department, requir.
ing supply Of stamps, purporting to come from
other Offices than his own, and forging the names
Of the respective postmasters to them. He only
selected such offices, the mail matter Of which
had to pass through his Office, and on returns be-
ing made from the department, would abstract
the letters and appropriate the contents to his
own use.
B. Benjamin has been arrested at Chicago for
obtaining letters belonging to others at the post
Office Of that city. He had received letters from
ak different private boxes, and is supposed to
have obtained large amount in money and
drafts.
