Bolivar is the principal State, including Cartha-
genia, seaport town, of the republic of New Gra-
NADIA. Slavery was abolished some years since, and
all colors and races were put upon an equality. -
From that time the negro race has warred upon

merous, has now plunged the State into revolution
and anarchy. ]-Hartford Times. %
LATE FIRES IN TExAs.-We have received an ex.

they have resulted from a conspiracy on the part
Of Aboitionists in Texas, and that they were de-
signed to be the precursor of serious assaults
upon the peace of the country by the Indians and
Abotionists combined. The people in the neighbor-
hood of the late fires are described in this letter as
being much excited and have organized patrols for
proteesion.-& O. Pieayuns, July ~.
