There is great excitement in this
community. The people are in arms
against the Northern men who have been
in the country but few months. On
yesterday evening, two gins and negro
quarter were fired simultaneously, doubt
less by the procurement Of these wretch
es. The night was lit up for miles
around. The Vigilance Committee we're
soon under arms, and proceeded to the
room of three carpenters, one by the
name of Hamlin, the others unknown,
and took them and hung them 10 tie first
tree, and qfterioard cut them dotsR aad
burned them The town is now under
arms, the military are parading the
streets, and all is excitement and alarm.
This morning the remainder of the
Northern men were sent up the river on
the steamer Peytona some of ihem
were branded with the letters G. B. (gin
burners) before being shipped. Four
teen gins have been burned in this county
during the last six weeks, and the peo-
pie have determined to stop it.
An aJolitionia tcqs hanged, barrsllsd
up, and rolled into tie rirer at this point
last t9esk, and 1t acas probably to avengs
his death that the last gins ,gers fired.
A negro implicated the men ,cho acre
hung. He said that they had told him
all the negroes were TO be free 6ext
March when Lincoln became president,
and that there viii be a general rising of
the negroes then. The Vigilance Com
mittee have sworn to hang every North
ern man who comes here from this time
until the 4th of March,
Mr.. Thomson, Secretary of the Interi-
or, is the commissioner of Mississippi to
North Carolina, his native state.
The Vicksburgh (AIiss.l Whig thinks
secession is loo dear a whistle. It says (:
AT the lowest possible estimate, it
will cost twenty-five million of dollars to
maintain the state of Mississippi out of
the Union. Ali this will have to be rails
ed by direct taxation on her people
Are they ready for any such emergency ?
Let the people remember that the reyo-
lutionists are determined to perpetrate
this great outrage upon them"

The New Orleans Pieayune says the
plan Of free trade in a new southern con-
federacy viii cause trouble:
Louisiana is scarcely prepared to
abandon at once all duties on foreign SUI
gar. Her sugar planters are now pro-
tected by what is equivalent to $500 bo-
nus on every $1,000 worth Of sugar raised.
With this protection to her industry, the
sugar planters are growing exorbitantly
rich. Material interests viii doubtless
weigh but little in restraining her resist
ance, but it is different when a new gov
ernment is TO be formed"
A WELCOME FOR COBB.
