Negro InsurrecIiOn.

New YORK. August l0.-A serious Instruction
Of the negroes at SOmbrerO. Guano Island, has
caused no little excitement among the merchants
and seafaring people interested IN the guanO bust
ness both in BALTIMORE and Petersburg, Va. The
excitement had obtained such pitch that Captain
Dell. of the Baltimore bark Warren, and Captain
Burrell, of the schooner Emma Tuttle of New Ha-
ven had to interfere and imprison some Of the in
surrectiOnsts The negroes on the Island are hired
at the rate of Sl2 per month to load vessels with
guano, and number 200. The foreman. desiring to
make visit home, made over his office to man
named Snow, first mate OF schooner named the
Eastern Star. Snow being a man of energy and
determination, exercised rigid discipline over the
negroes. They. not liking this formed plan to
murder him. and, on the oath of July, as Snow was
stopping on the ground one of the negroes, who had
been specially chosen for the purpose, hurled ire
mendous lump OF guano at his head, crushing IN his
skull and leaving him nearly lifeless.
Considerable commotion followed upon this among
the whites, and the negro who committed the afro
cious deed was Immediately arrested and placed on
the bark Warren, of Baltimore, to be taken to the
United States for trial The arrest created the wild
est excitement among the negroes, who arose en-
mdSSe and took possession of the island. The white
employees, who only numbered twelve were com
PEELED to submit the revolt through fear of the
200 half savage negroes The negroes then threat
ed TO sink the Warren and the Emma Tuttle, unless
their cOInrade, the murderer, was given up. Fifty
Irish hands were expected shortly from Richmond
fully armed, when the negroes would be put down.
Snow was not dead on the 18th of July but it was
impossible for him TO recover The negroes had re
fused all offers to return to work. They held pos
sion of the island. and were doing just they
pleased. Nobody dared to say anything TO them. as
they declared they would never yield until their
was given up to them by the Captain of
the Warren. The schooner Emma futile has ar
rived at Petersburg, Virginia, from WHICH we
gather the particulars.

It will be seen by glance at the figures above
that the excess Of rain last year over this is but
300 of an inch amounting to little more than a
heavy dew. and scarcely appreciate in ITS effects
upon the crops.
Ard yet the corn crop of 1859 was very good and
this year very bad BY another glance at the figures
we find that the temperature this year, during the
month of July, averaged tiUe and ORetsird degrees
higher than last year during the same month. Again
that in 1856, little more rain fell than in
1859 or 200. and the mean temperature was 92B the
same this year. 1t will be remembered that the
corn crop of 1856 was very short.
The inference we draw from these facts is that it
is not the drought but heat that damages the corn
crop literally burning it up, and by comparing the
quantity of rain and the temperature in 1859 and
go it will be discovered that the temperature is not
necessarily affected by the rain.
In 1857 there was a concurrence OF fine rains,
low temperature and abundant corn crOp.-ROfne
