The Richmond Dispatch tells rather tough
yarn. 1t states that conspiracy was formed
among the slaves of Mr.. Hairston of Halifax
county, to murder their overseer. Six of them
decoyed the driver into the woods and told him
their object, when he drew a revolver, shot four
dead, wounded the fifth, and the sixth escaped
by running.

Goods for the Million.

That Mr.. CHERRYHoLMEs means to sell more
goods this coming fall and winter than ever be-
fore in the same time, is pretty evident from
the enormous quantity he has just purchased
and is now receiving. The boys would call
the immense pile of goods which meet the eye
in that large room, an "eye-opener,' but we i'm
agine that they will also prove purse-opener
to many one before long. for few will be able
to resist the temptation to buy from so large and
complete a stock.
Mr.. J. E. Koch is also just opening a very
fine and very large stock of fall and winter
goods, selected with more than his usual care.
Whoever goes there will find him up to the
times in quantity, quality and prices.
The Messrs. WERLICH, in the Hardware trade
are also just opening their fall and winter stock
which is very large and embraces everything
usually found in first class establishments Of

Affairs in Syria.

The Beyrout correspondent of the Bos
ton Traueler, in a letter dated Jaly 10Th,
says:
The fanaticism of the Moslem popua-
ton was famed into flame when the
news of the cold blooded massacre of five
thousand Christians in the streets of Dam
ascus arrived, and the families of the Eu-
ropean merchants, together with thousands
of the Chsistian population, fled to the
nearest available ports of safety. The
streets of Beyrout were almost deserted.
and the town became as silent as grave
yard.
The mists of dread and gloom were
somewhat dissipated, however few days
ago, by the timely arrival of two immense
French line-of-battle ships, the booming
of whose guns gave JOY to the dishearted
Christians, and at the same time warn
ing voice to those who thirsted for Chris
tian blood.
Damascus, the beautiful, the terrestrial
paradise, how art thou fallen! This old
Abrahamic city, of more than two hun
dred thousand inhabitants, has been most
ly cruelty despoiled. The murder of five
thousand men in the streets is deed of
blood calling for the direst vengeance
of earth and heaven. Five thousand
men killed in war would excite but
little feeling comparatively, for war
riors count the cost, and voluntary expose
themselves to the death-whistling bullet
and bloody sword; but five thousand
Christians cut down by Moslems while pur-
suing their daily avocations in the most
peaceful and inoffensive manner, it is an ap-
palling crime, and stirs the deepest emo
tions in the human heart. ss
Jerusalem is now in danger, being men
aced from without by three thousand Be-
douin Arabs, and from within by fanatical
Moslems. The missionaries have fled to
Jaffa, and unless the Governor proves to be
a better man than his colleagues, Jerusa-
lem will be laid low.
Horrible stories are afloat about the
thousands of Christian women of Damas-
Gus. Our blood almost congeals at the
thought of such fate. knew many Of
tnefn, lney were falr ana Deaullfui, ana
many of them gentle and to some extent
cultivated. Hundreds of these were doubt
less buried beneath the ruins of their burn
ing houses; but we are told that thousands
were carried off into the interior by the
Koords and Arabs of the desert, to be de-
stroyed at their leisure. Horror of hor-
rors We learn that many of them have
turned Moslems to save their lives. AT
Damascus upon the news of the insurrec-
tion reaching them, they put turbans upon
their heads in the Moslem style, and be-
gan to pillage the house of their host as if
they had been Moslems. They rushed
out into the streets with plunder upon
their backs, cursiug the Christians dogs,
the Christian religion, and uttering all the
Moslem imprecations. ..

wA revolving scene occurred in a
school room at Janesville, Pa, some days
since. Mr.. Carey, one of the school direc.
tors, entered the school room, took the
Bible from the teachers desk, tore the
book in pieces, and scattered it on the
floor, tramplng on it in great rage. When
the teacher, Mrs. Torbert. endeavored to
stop him, be said, "I'll take you by the
shoulders, and put you out of the school
house! 1 have more right here than you.
I'll teach you that you sban't read the

before Justice, and held to bail for trial

REpUBLIcAN Mass MEETING IN SOUTHERN OHIO.
We learn that there will be grand mass
meeting at Bethel, Clermont county. on Friday,
the 3lst inst, at p NJ; also at Winchester, near
the line of Adams and Brown counties. on Sat-
urday the LIST Sept. These meetings will be ad-
dressed by Hon. j. NJ Root, Hon. Ed. Arch
bold. and others
We also learn with pleasure, that Cassius NJ.
Clay the noble. gallant Kentuckian, will address
the people of Clermont county and vicinity, at
Felicity, on Saturday. the 18th Sept. Other
eminent speakers will be present. The people
will be there by tens of thousands.
Southern Ohio is becoming thoroughly arous-
ed. The shameless attempt at fusion between
the Americans and the Irish Catholics for the
avowed purpose of advancing the interest of
the slave power by the defeat of Lincoln, has
walked up feeling that will manifest itself
with great power at the poles. Clermont Co. is
bound to be redeemed this fall.

Murderous Attacks Upon Re
publican MeetinS.

As the Republican delegates were re-
turning from Norristown, Pa, TO Philadel-
phia last week Thursday, about quater
of mile from the former place, the cars
were pelted with sharp stones, dashing in
the windows and seriously injuring num-
Der of the Republicans. A Mr.. Newport
barely survived and Mr.. Jones lost an
eye; Mr.. Hawthorn, who was on the car
platform, was feled on the ground, aud
when his loss was known the cars stopped
and a party went back for him but could
not find him, and the report is that he was
killed. At last accounts be had not been
found. The Philadelphia Press says the
murderous attack was made by Bell men.
At Evansville Iud., two days since a
murderous attack was made upon the
Wide Awakes by Democratic mob, led
on by the Democratic candidate for Cor
oner. The Evansville paper gives the
names of prominent Democrats, who are
office holders, who were active among the
attacking party. Pistols shots were fired
and number of the Republicans wounded,
but the Wide Awakes rallied and drove
the rowdy Democrats from the ground.-

Good for Wise.

swer to an invitation to speak for Brecken'
ridge at Boston, thus: sar. -.-

ticket of your choice. God grant that
our efforts be not in vain! IFEAR THEY

LICANISM is TO TRIUMPH IN THE
COMING ELECTION. IF Sol MEAN
FOR ONE, TO ABIDE BY AND IN

OF IT-and in saving the country and its
Constitution; but not to submit one mo-
ment or TO concede one single item, to a
triumph to degrade me and mine in this
Confederacy of.free and equal States. Par
don this hurried essay, and believe me sin.
cerely yours. HENRY A. WISE" p
That is a sensible Wise! 1t would be
very foolish to 90 out of the Union on
suspicion that something wrong must be
done. Wait for a semblance Of excuse
and if encroachments are threatend or
come, then show your teeth.-[ AIbany

Possibly the Journal does not under
stand what Wise means by fighting in the
Union. His idea is to take possession OF
the Federal Capitol, and organize revolu,
ton in the Union.

AN INDIGNANT BELL MAN.-The editor
of the Baltimore Patriot--the Bell and
Everett organ of Maryland-thus alludes
to to the Syracuse Auction:
Such base and shameless betrayal of a
political cause, by pretended friends, never
disgraced the party history of any civilized
country on the globe, except, perhaps, that
of Ireland, when she was delivered hand
and foot to England, by the traitors in the
last Irish Parliament.

N- Desperate efforts at fusion IN ILL
nois are making. So far the proposition to
unite the Breckenridge, Douglas and Bell
forces upon one electoral ticket, is coldly
received. The leaders of these factions
willingly labor for the consummation, but
the people of that State, who deem them
selves something above chattels, and not to
be sold and delivered in droves by their
self-constituted leaders, rebel strongly
against any such movement. The offer
made is to withdraw all tickets now in the
field, and make new combination for cleo
tors, which shall include B. S. Morris, L.
D. Boone and Alferd Dutch. on the part
of the Know Nothings; Isaac Cook and
John Dougherty, as the representatives of
the slave code: and any six squalter SOW
