Ferry.
4 rcnort from n merchant ot IT,rncr's :
Ferry states that most Of tLe c;t;ycns hoyn
been imprisoned and many killed, All thc
avenues to tho TOWN orn h,w,;cod,d o,,,l
guarded.
The general belief hove is tbot IL is = mayo
of the Abolitiouists. Secretary FlovL
some weeks aoo, received IN ononymoms
letter, informin~ him that thcrn wonld ho
rising, and an attcmpt made to cnnturc
the armory, but it was too indefinite md
improbable to be believed
These reports may be greatly cxorocro-
led, but there is un,loubtcaly n serious
disturbance goinr on.
There is a susp;cion here that the dis
turbancc is caused by the failure of the
contractors OIL the Government dam TO INV
employees, who number several Luudrni
and have pressed the negroes into their
service
Two companies from Richmond Va
have been ordered into service, and will
probably leave on a srccial train to .niuht
