PROPHECY BECOMING HISTORY.

The capture and execution OF Joha Brown did not
put a stop to the negroes desire for freedom mani
testing itself wherever there seemed to the captive
oven a faint hope Of liberation and from the %
of last December up to this time, southern papers
have beon illed with accounts of real or supposed
insurrections discovered just on the eve Of the
slime appointed for the striking Of the 6rst blow
The prophetic warning at the conclusion Of the
poem given this week,
"He will trouble you more than ever when you've
nailed his coffin down."
is beginning to assume a significance that the OPP
prsssor will ultimately be able to comprehend.
Among the latest insurrectiuEary alarms comes
one from the county in which Gov. Wise resides,
and which occurred two weeks since. The o folk
Argus, after speaking of the supposed plot, says,
Several negroes have been arrested IN Princess
Anne, and their Confessions (thOugh in come cases
extorted) have developed the same story and led
20 further arrests, The confessions show that u
rising was contem plated at Hickory Ground, in
Norfolk county, tomorrow Sunday night, ami
that ths matter was inStigatel By free persons,
some of them free negroes. Two arrests have
been made in Norfolk City. and the uail is fully
struck.

to vigilant measures to suppress this vile conspi-
rscy, and to detect oil offenders Of all culurs. Ac-
live patrols have been organized aud gone TO
poyk. We advise all suspected white persons to
quit the paris between two days. On Thurs
day night a white named Finn was shot de d by
a patrol party in Norfolk county. on the line Of the
canal, about II miles from Portsmouth. There
were several men engaged in disching. aud they
were camping out in that neigbborhood.
Tho place was suspected and their tents visited
by the patrol for a search. When the patrol APP
pruached the tent and hailed, the man Finn came
out and aimed his gun At Mr.. Warner, one Of the
party. but before he could fire. he was shot dead
by another of the party. AT the same moment a
negro dartsd from the tent and escaped into the
woods. A free negro named DICK Smith. has been
shot while running from some gentlemen who
we're endeavoring TO arrest him for some inceudi-
JUS expression he had used. Teu negroes are
s.id To be in custody in Princess Anne, aid two in
Norfolk city"
The Norfolk Day Book has the following:
w continue to receive information trou the
surrounding country of The mort intense excit''
ment amoog the people. They arc thoroughly
aroused and generally incensed, and The leading
: gentlemen If the two counties have taken hold Of
the matter with a determination to probe il to the
bottom. Almost all with whom We have cOnvert'
ed are fully impressed with lhe conviction thai
another raid was on foot, or at least that an extern
sive undergrol nd railroad scheme has been brok'
en- up by its timely discovery. 1t is q little singu
lar that these operations shOulG have commenced
in the county in which Gov. Wise resides"
Another statement of another lnsurrectionary
movement, and bearing date a few days earlier
comes to us in the Jackson Mississippidn, showing
that the came cause is there working with th'
same means for the same end. How long will i
take the South to learn that Slavery must be abol
ished. If the masters do it peacesbly, well anC
good for rhsm; if the slaves do il by force, upon th'
Ioppressors be the responsibility.
We copy, says the MiSSissipian, from the Cen
s trail Enquirer the details Of an attempted negro in
J surrection in Winston county. Too much prais,
