The Abolition Conspiracy.

WARRINGTON, Aug. II, 1860.
According to Texas news in the New
Orleans papers of Tuesday last, the ex-
citemont in relation to the Abolition con.
spiracy in that State appears TO be on the
increase.
A young man had been hung for Civ
ing strychnine to the slaves 10 put into
the wells.
Another preacher had also been hung
for being an active Abolitionist, while two
other persons were similarly treated for
melting the slaves to insurrectiou.
These events had taken place il differ
ent parts of the State.
Frequent attempts at poison and iucen'
diaries were reported.
Although the town Of Henderson had
been nearly consumed by fire, the people
appeared unwilling to put faith IN the re-
ported conspiracy.
