THE ALLEGED NEGRO PLOT IN MISSISSIPPI.
letter to the Central Miss Inquirer, from
Plattsburg county, Mississippi, dated October lst,
gives the following account of a plot among the
negro slaves of that neighborhood.
On Friday morning, the 10th ult., Mr.. c. d.
Kelly chastised his cook woman for some ordinary
misdemeanor. The negro proposed to reveal an
important secret to Mr.. Kelly if he would desst.
He did so, and the girl informed him that the ne
groes of the whole djacent country, in concert
with certain white men, engaged in planning
and preparing for general insurrectiOn; that
poison circulated among all the negroes of the
neighbOrhood- that the time for commencing
action was not far distant-that her own husband
was well informed of the plans of operation and
rious less important facts.
Mr.. Kelly, to prevent any alarm getting out
among the negroes, and in order to make further
investigation successful, called five or six
gentlemen, and with them visited successiveIy most
of the plantations in the neighborhood. At all
these places the company took up negroes and
chastised them, without questioning or giving
them any intimation what the chastsement was for,
but leaving it entirely to their conscience to
suggest it.
The time and means for commencing active op-
erations in this design, was to be on the morning
OF election day, (the general election, we suppose
when with strychnine, arsenic and various other
vegetable poisons, the cooks were to poison the
breakfast meal, Coffee water, etc., and thus kill
many as possible, Of men, women and children,
promiscuOusly; after this the houses were to be
fired, and the remaining males killed by pistols guns
knives and swords, which were to be supplied by
these white cOnspirators.
During the night of the 26th some thirty other
negroes were arrested, and examined on the day
following. They gave information corroborative Of
that already obtained-having the same white con-
spirators-the same time for commencing action
and the same means for attaining their designs.
A meeting of the citizens of the neighborhood
was held and vigilance committee of twenty five
men appointed. council of twelve was also
appointed To this council the meeting committed
the power of passing sentence of punishment or ac-
quita, according to the evidence brought before it,
on all persons, black or white, that may be i'm.
peached before it of aiding abetting in insurrec,
tionary plans or movements, heretofore or here
after.

FATAL DUEL AT ST. MARrINsvILLE, Lat be-
comes our painful duty to record the melancholy
death of Mr. Gerard Fournet. He fell, mortally
wounded, on the field of combat by the hands of
Aiphonse Bienvenue on Saturday evening, the 9th
instant, and lived but short time after his fall
Mr.. Fournet was man of generous and noble i'm
pulses, Kind and tender a child to those be loved
and always quick to succor the oppressed. Like all
generous natures, his anger, when kindled, was as
ardent as his love. Danger could not appal such
spirit, and fear he only knew as a name The fu-
neral procession that accompanied his remains to
the tomb was the largest one witnessed in
this State. Mr.. Fournet leaves a wife and several
young children, together with an aged mother, and
many other fond relatives to mourn his untimelv
death. God alone 'can wipe away their tears"
To God we commend them.-Courrier du Tecbe
The Charleston Courier, of Wednesday, saws that
reports without details or particulars have been
received that the two men, Hitchins chiefly en-
gagged in the Marlborough agency for the reception
and deposit of arms, in contemplation of an unlaw-
full and seditous design, have been tried and con-
victed at Bennettsvie and sentenced for execution
at an early day.
Among the Democratic members of Congress
just elected in Indiana is the Hon. D. W. Voorhees,,

the present day.

1t is respectfully suggested, in view of the pres

mighty God to guide the Councils of said States
and to aid and direct the people of the same under
any and all circumstances arising from those diff
ierences. And that the Executive of the several
States named, do recommend to the people of the
same to observe the appointed day, by assembling
in prayer according to their various denominations
at about the same hour of the day, so as that but
one voice should go up to the Throne of Him that
