A Secret Organization for Slave
EESurTec:iOu.

The Cincinnati Times learns from reliable au-
thorIty, that considerable excitement exists in a
portion of Kentucky, relative 10 the supposed de-
lection of secret organization. having for lis OBJ
Ject slave insun ectIon. The facts, as they re-
ccived them, are as follows:
Two anonymous letters were received through
the post Office at CynihIaha. Kentucky, announc-
ing the existence II that locality, of secret or
gahlZatIOn, upon plan similar TO that Of old
Browns at Harper's Ferry, and having the same
object in view. The letters and their contents
were made public, and Immediately created a
great excitement throughout Harrison and Bour-
bon countless where it is alleged the organization
exists. and intended 10 operate. 4 public meet
ing was called at Cynthiana, and was largely at
tended. Measures were taken to promptly ferret
out the members of the organizations and 10 pro-
tect the community against any outbreak that NAV
be attempted among the slaves.
The association is said TO consist mostly of Le-
groes, led and directed by white men. 1t is char
ged that some Of the employees of the Coyincton
and Lexington railroad are leaders in the move
ment. The anonymous letters declare that like
that Of Harper's Ferry, each member of this or
ganizaticn is sworn 10 secrecy, and il il supposed
that arrangements for a general outbreak were
pr city we'll matured. Augilance committee was
organized at the meeting OF the citizens, and the
utmost pFecaution is observed throughout the
country. Stringent resolutions were passed, and
the least movement on the part Of the slaves is 70
be the signal for prompt action. Great cohsterna-
ton and alarm exists throughout the country. and
a full supply of firearms have been ordered by the
citizens, and thorough preparation is made for
any demonstration that may occur. This matter
will be thoroughly Investigated, and the guilty
parties, whoever they may be, will be brought to
Justice.

NEGRO Standardization negroes made their
escape from Lagrange, Lewis county, IN the early
part of last week. Ten of them went of togeth-
er, and nothing had been heard 81 them Saturday
A reward of 1850 is offered for them. The
american says:
''The fugitives stole fat boat from this place,
in which Il is supposed they crossed the river
The boat was caught at or near Quincy. IF these
slaves succeed in making permanent escape, 1t
will be the third or fourth successful stampede
that has taken place from Lagrange in the past
three OF four months. This fact leads US to the
conclusion that there il a regular underground rail-
road established from this place to Chicago, His,
and that the company have agent or agents in
this city If is our belief that an abolition con-
ductor accompanied thus last party of slaves, and
that this underground railroad forms connection
with the Quincy & Chicago R. R."
