The Alleged Texas AboIitiCnist KIdnap-
ned in Memphis,

few days since copied paragraph from
Memphis paper announcing that three men had
come to that city and arrested and kidnapped man
charged with being party to the recent abolition
outrages in Texas. 1t appears the man arrested is
known in Arkansas as NJ. A MARSH, and tie Camden
(Ark) Star furnishes the following facts in regard
to this fellow:
On Friday morning last the man Marsh who re-
Gently established in city depot, took his
| departure incOntinenty for parts unknown. On
Sunday evening there was letter to the Post
Office for him, post marked Warren, Bradley coun-
| ty. Arkansas. Our postmaster, Mr.. Baccus, having
had his suspicious aroused against Marsh before he
left concluded to open the letter and examine its
contents. He opened the letter, and the fact was
made apparent that Marsh is abOlitio1ist of the
most hellish kind and is connected with aboli.
ton association which extends from one end Of the
country to the other, the object of which is to
cite the negroes to deeds of daring desperation,
with the view of gaining their freedom. As as
the letter was made public, meeting of the ctl-
zens was held and committee appointed TO look
into the matter. The highest state of excitement
prevailed during the day, and we Noticed number
of individuals who looked remarkably white around
the gllls The letter TO Marsh. though mailed at
Warren, seems to have been written at Little Rock,
by one NJ. NJ. Duval, or Dural The committee dis
patched gentleman to Little Rock Immediately, to
see if such man as Duval or Dural could be found
IN that city. They also dispatched a couple of gen
tlemen TO Gains Landing i'll search OF Marsh. If
Marsh or Duval is either of them caught. We think
the whole thing will be brought TO light and the
names of the parties engaged in iris hellish plot
against the lives and property of the Southern PEG
pie, made public. The letter received by Marsh
speaks for ITSELF and therefore we publish it be-
low.

to meet the fate Of our sister State of Texas
