Two WHITE MEN AND A NEGRO HUEG.-
The Fairfield Pioneer extra Of the 7th has
the following:
Mr.. league, printer in our Office,
has just arrived from Tennessee Colony,
Anderson County, and brings the news
that he Witnessed the hanging of two
white men in that place, on Sunday, the
9TH instant, who were proven to be guilty
of melting insurrection among The slaves
of that neighborhood. Their names we're
Antney Wyrick. and his cousin, Afford
Gable. They were engaged near the Col
ony at their trades of wagon making and
blacksmithing, where they have been
living for three OF four years. Wyrick
had been previously taken up for harbor-
ing and selling liquor to negroes. Negroes
were found in possession of fire arms
and strychnine, furnished by these men.
! They were taken up and severely whipped
and made to divulge much in relation 10
the llnSurrectlonary movements. Other
white men are implicated, and their cases
will be investigated and attended 10 as soon
as practicable.
:. A negro near science Hill, Henderson
County, about fifteen miles from the Coll
ony. was also hung on the same day, and
much excitement was prevailing in the
neigh hborhood.
Preacher Hu"g at Vcol's Sutton Par
rer County.-We GU; the following froru
the Fort Worth Chief. Cf the Is. inst:
We learn that preacher by the name of
Z h.
for boing an active Aboliiionist. A ma
jority of three hundred men condemned
him. This is decidedly All unhealthy eli
mate for all such, and Ne would advise all
OF that Kind 10 remove ins,anier.
; Discovery ua Washington Co,Aty.--W
take the following from the Benham Ran
ger, OF yesterday:
A few days since, several negroes were
arrested on Mill Greek, III this county, who
acknowledged to their having poison given
them by white men, for the purpose of
poisoning their owners and families, and
that the day Of election WAS the time fixed
for a general insnrrecIion. They also i'm
plicated some negroes about town as being
concerned IN the murderous plot.
gS Let every Democrat ask himself
what is the cause Of this division and dis
traction of the party; who is responsible
for ii? Six hundred and six men were
sent TO National Convention They de-
liberated and wrangled. The minority
wanted to alter the Democratic platform,
to make a new fest Of Democracy, which
the party had almost unanimously rejected
for twelve years. and because they could
not succeed, left the Convention. They
pursued their tisorganizing scheme until
they got considerable number Of the six
hundred and six delegates over one fourth
Ito join in the d'sorganizng scheme.--
What the necessity for this? What rea-
son is given To justify it? What call was
there for this new test? Ii was never
made before. There never was any use
for 1t, and there is none now. Will you,
then, support The authors of the mischief?
The President, and Senators, and other
officials, contrived the programe to accom-
plish their own purposes. Was not the
policy of the party respecting our Terrific
ries doing well enough. and why was not
well enough let alone? Let any of these
disorganizers answer the question. We
cal! upon intelligent Democrats TO rebuks
the unfaithful agents, who have delibers-
tely attempted to break up National Con-
vention; and who have divided the party
In every Stale, and threatened its defeat
everywhere. There has been no new
development of the slvery question: NO
occurrence calling for change of policy:
no reason shown why tho platform of 1856
was not equally good in 1860, and yet the
party is put danger by disorganizers, be-
cause the majority would not adopt test
which had been examined for many years
and uniformly rejected.-Loa Dem.
SYRIA.--The horrible butcheries of tbs
Christians in Syria still continue. At
Deir- kamer the Druses set the town
on fire. and commenced an indiscriminaIe
slaughter of all the males--from the Oldest
man to the youngest child. The females
were violated and the most atroeious cut

500 persons were killed. The women fled
