INsTiNGrIvE SENSE OF THE DoG.-The late Mr..
Justice Williams, whilst on visit to Lord
Brougham, felt q pain in his chest, but did not
mention it to lis host. On his way through Lon
don he consulted his physicians who considered it
of no grave Importance. On reaching his seat in
Suffolk, he was seemingly quite WELL and went out
daily to shoot After a week or ten days he was
somewhat indsposed; he went out, however, riding
before breakfast, but did not dine at table some
visitors being there. Lady Williams left him pretty
well in the drawing-room, and returned after din
ner, but before the company retired from table.
She found him apparently well, and playing with
her lapdog. She went again to the dining-room
and returned for the dog in three, at most four,
minutes.
No sooner did she open the door than the animal
set up n loud bark, and rushed past her violently,
barking and howling all the way. She asked her
husband what allied the dog. but received no an

DE-. CHEEvER AND THE SLAvEHoLnlNG LADY.
Messrs. Wood and Kingsley, of DIR. Cheevers
Church, have published a letter about the lady
STAKEHOLDER who enjoyed the Rev. Doctors minis
trations for a number of years. 1t will be reeol-
lected that DR.. Cheever said that the lady came
from Methodist Church, and never made known
to him any of her Investments in g human beings
The lady, on the contrary, stated TO one of the
gentlemen signing the letter:
81 Joined the Church of the Puritans by letter,
from the McCords Presbyterian Church, Lexing-
ton, Kentuekey-was never member OF o Method
ist Church. Dr. Cheever, for years before left
his Church, knew, by frequent conversations
with me, that was the owner of slaves. Several
times, after preaching his strong anti-saYery SER
mons, he came directly to my house to assure
me he had no application to me in his preaching
on the subject, and did not wish to feel that he
applied his preaching on this subject to me- Y,
The lady was q faithful teacher in the Sunday
school of Plymouth Church, and the fact that she
was slave-owner was well-known to Messrs.
Ward and Kingsley, Henry A. Hurlbut, Charles
AbernethY, George d. Phelps, Rev. DIR. John G.
Owen and their families, and Deacon W. u. Smith.
Deacon Smith was an officer in the church, and re-
collects distinctly, before he went to reside in
Europe, in 1852, it was understood in the church
that this lady an owner OF slaves. This raises
| an interesting question of yeracity between the
Rev. DIR. Gheever and these gentlemen of his con-
| gregaton, which he will, no doubt, take means to
| settle when he returns from Europe.

Gents 9-Ne are now bordering on exciting
scenes, and may in few days be in the midst OF
it, for aught we know, when the matter is fully in
vestigated. You have before this, through the
press learned of the most fragrant of incendiar
ism perpetrated in this and worse in the counties
above us, within the past few weeks, which is now
being investigated. Much important news is now
reaching US from Dallas and many counties north
of us in reference to the burning and devastating
of our country. Two white men have been sum
mary executed in Dallas for melting the slaves to
the firing of towns and property, and one in Fort
Worth for furnishing slaves with arms for the more
diabolieal purpose Of general insurreetion. Many
slaves are now under arrest in Ellis and Dallas
counties, and generally testify to the same thing.
Report has Just reached us that considerable
amount of poison has been produced by the slaves
that were arrested. This report is from reliable
source Active measures are in force to ferret out
if the plot has extended to this county, and what
knowledge the slaves of this county are in pos
session Of if any, relative to the matter. We know
not the hour when our effects will be in flames, as
fire seems to be the order OF the day at this time.
Our old friend had his store burned in this county
| on the day that Dallas and the other houses were
burned. He did business about fifteen miles south
OF this place. Loss about $4,000. The country is
rife with repoFts-some to be relied on, and many
with some foundation though greatly exaggerated,
as always is the case in such times. ou no doubt
will get the particulars when the investigation has
been more thoroughly carried into effect.
Our country is literally burned up with the
drought. 1t is generally thought that Texas this
year will scarcely make suflieieney of grain to
bread it; and in this section | can voueh for it,
and travellers report our section as good as any.
Under existing circumstances, business is bound to
be limited.

out. He did not believe her and continued to call
for it. His daughter, who had got up TO go to work
in the factory heard him calling for it, thought a
little liquor would stop his sickness, as it usually
did, aud hearing him begging so hard, thought she
would get him some. She looked in several rooms,
and at last in the cl set behind the door, she found
small bottle. She took out e cork smelt in the
bottle, found ii contained liquor, poured out about
