Sketch Of Negro Outbreaks in the United
States.

The instruction at Harpers Ferry has differed from
all previous serye instructions in this country in this
important point, that whereas in all former movements
of the kind the discontinued blacks either slaves
free, were tho prime movers, and almost always the
sole actors therein this has been only got up but
carried through by white does not appear in any
positive that any Of the coored people Of vir
gnia Maryland participated in the movement Of their
own accord Some few free negroes from Iowa may have
done 30, but few from tho slave States. Those
who appeared to act with the insurgents pressed
into service This shows that the movement was got
up in the interest with the connvance Of the slaves but
was purely political Contrast il with the negro
instructions Of 1881 and 1866.

ANUsEMENTs.-The curtain of the Gaiety
having been rung down for the season. it is
feared that when Somebody il Co.'s Grand
Consolidated Display of wild Animals shall
have come and gone, and Prof. CURTIS shall
have put himself through his 1856 half miles
in 1856 consecutive half hours, Nashville
will be dead broke so far as amusenents are
concerned1 and it is high time that those
whose duty it is to hunt up and bring in such
things were looking about for fresh supply.
The people of Memphis, who can beat the
world Tor luck, have recently had very
attractive prize fight in their midst, and
another is announced 10 come off there at no
distant day. We have every reason to believe
that if sufficient inducements were held out
and everything made comfortable, the same
Knights Of the Bloody Nose would open a

This style Of the manly art of self-defence is
ranked more frequently among the fancy
than among the fine arts; bat it is certainly
fine enough for all practical purpose; and if

towards creating and keeping alive healthy
tone of amusement in the city during the APP
preaching warm term, the premonitory symp-
tums of which are already very strongly felt.

'-Tolerable," said the negro, and the con

that conversation Mr.. DIX learned that his

Mr.. G. NJ. STEELE, of Fayetteville, that he had
inconlinenty fed from his master, with all the
tender associations that clustered about him,
and was on his way to the bosom Of Adolf

eve of going aboard of a steamboat for the
purpose Of prosecuting his journey North

that, to a very small extent, he had walked
up the wrong passenger; but, at the same
time, kindly invited him down to the Work

GENTLEMEN In canvassing for the city
subscription to the n. & n w. r. R., have
met some opposition that thought L could
trace to myself personally, and SO suggested
at the speaking on Broad street.
As my Object is to get the benefit of the
road for our city and the country through
which it passes, have thought it possible we
could obtain more votes for it if L would
resign as President, and have therefore con-
cluded TO do so. and here tender my resigna-
ton and hope you will accept the same.
In separating from the board in this re-
spect, assure every member that do so
with regret, as our relations have uniformly
been kind and agreeable.
do not propose to cease to work for the
road, but assure you that shall continue the
canvass with all the vigOr l am capable of,
and believe ! can carry as much strength
working in the ranks as at the head of the
board. Most truly,

VERY FINE.-Thc sunset Of last Tuesday
evening considering the disadvantages under
which the getters-up of the affair labored
was among the finest things of the kind that
ever come OFF in this city. Not a cloud was

enable us to say with prupriety, that
"rhe Suns eye had a sickly glare"
"A glare that was just sufficiently sickly to
want the necessary strength to repel the gaze
of the spectator, but not enough so TO spoil
the beauty of the scene. Immediately around
the sun the sky was of an intensely brilliant
orange color, which gradually grew paler and
paler as it receded from the burning centre,
until it melted into the ''darkly deeply, beau
tiinlly blue" of the heavens. Where are all
