THE TRXS FRIGHT.
From The H.soa Te,.gyapA, July 70.

From The nysoa Teitg,aph, July @
We are without any further letters from our o.a
correspondents in Northern Texas except from NC
Kinney. in Collin County, which says that Mek 'nnsy
sill survives but that there is regular guard wa'sh.
ing both night and day.
From Dallas we Learn that some one or two white
men have been hung but this report comes On r'nor
From Waxabacbe we have seen letter writ ~
a merchant to his correspondent IN this city, when
gives some of the details Of conspiracy there TO our
der the people and destroy the town, in manner SIM
liar 10 that of Dallas The plot have been car
ried out last Sunday. II was discovered, however,
and two white r1ep names not given, were hung on
Saturday last the 2ls inst Some twenty odd negroes
were to be hung also next week. The danger wa' pc
leved TO be over, though the people were constantly
watching and were almost down with their vig'
lance. This letter is written in German, ana We may
not have got all the matters contained, but behe'e We
have the principal facts.
The fact seems TO be apparent that there has been
wide spread conspiracy in the northern counties MADE
up by wicked white men, Aboiiionsts, by when
YVES intended to burn the houses, XIII the people, and
run the negroes off into Mexico. Fortunately is nsa
been discovered not in time to prevent the Destruction
by fire Of half million Of property but In time 70 save
the lives of the people, and il is hoped 70 bring me
ringeades particularly the ielsh meters OF the ne
groes, TO condign punishment.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Mr.. Cruper. who is Just down from the Upper Coun-
try confirms the accounts we have received from DIR.
Pryor. He says the Vigilance Committees are com.
posed of the best men In the several count,es tss
they are acting with great GOODNESS and debersiion,
and that the p, ople have the utmoet confidence IN
them. He also states that in DaAas they have SINE
eight ten negroes who appeared TO be the yngeah-
eTs, in confinement. They will probably be hnng.
They had whipped some seventy or eighty who knew
of the conspiracy but failed TO inform on the eon'pr'
ators
In Wsxabacbie the discovery was made through the
voluntary confession Of negro woman belonging 70
Mr.. Marchbanks. Throughout the whole region, en-
bracng Dallas, Ellis, Tarrant and Denton counties the
tesn Ony Of the negroes has been the came. Iney
have all agreed in saying that they were 70 burn the
hOuses and murder the women on The lst Honday IN
August. They then TO attack the people a: The
pols led by reinforcement of the expected Abo-
on band and having got possession Of arms, provis-
iops etc., fight their way To Mexico.
When Mr. Cruger left Waxahacbie, last Monday,
there was rumor that there had been two men hung
in Dallas and he thinks these must be the men alluded
to in the letter from which the above items conce -nng
the Waxahaehie conspiracy were taken. Inc people
in all parts of the country thoroughly aroused sad
will not stop until the whole plot il laid bare, and the
offenders so far possible are brought to justice
The various rumors which get into circulation at
times like this of fires, &c., in different parts o. the
country should not obtain even the attention Of me
people until they are confirmed The report that Bal
BDap was burned from an Academia fre III the
government buildings there. There has been no az,
tempt 10 burn Brennan as reported IL Is UNDERWOOD
that the report from there caused by the barning
of some trash in the back yard of the Court II ouse
We do not pu any faith in the nor that the Capitol
at Austin as b. en- fired. We regard the rumor that
Marshall has been burned az a sheer fabrication. A
letter received from ths place by us, dated the 18th,
makes no mention of any disturbance there, or any
thing unususl, exceIt short crops.
The fires at Dallas and Denton appear 10 have been
the work of nceDdiares. At Waxahschie as appears
by the confession of the negroes negro vas detailed
to burn that place the 9Th, the day the hre
at Dallas and Denton, but while in foe the pur-
pose a box of matches accidentally got fire in the
store of Angelmsu & Carson, and the alarm 50 fright
ened the negro that he fled from the town After ward
who had come Is miles for the purpose in the night
informed him that the plot had been discovered In Dial.
las and they were hanging all the negro's and warned
him TO drop the matter. This saved Waxahaehie.
We hear reports from Grimes, bnt tbey want con-
firmaton, and we will not re5Ort them. The people
are however everywhere e alert and suspicious
characters are being closely watched.
