Rumors Of a negro instruction in Wise county in this
State, very prevalent in this city to-day. It pre-
dicated, as informed, upon what purports to be
elegraphic notice posted at the Of of
paper establishments. The report had that two thou
sand slaves had rebcled in Wise county but this threw
doubt upon the whole story there are
not more than dozen slaves in that whole county Bat
then derived some feasibility from the proximity Of the
reported scene of the insurrccon to the Kentucky line
for will be remembered that Kentucky embraced
in the plan OF operations Of the consprators The pre-
sumption against any such occurrence in county having
few slaves readily Offset by this reflection and the

founding the name This gave fresh stimulus to the ex-
element and strengthened the probability of the truth of
the rumor in the minds of many. There has been how

prove utterly unfounded
is probable that the contemplated action in the case
of Brown before the Court OF Appeals will prolonr the
final decision of the matter Governor Wse's success
