SUPPRESSION oFrAN INTENDED SLAVE INsURREC-
T7oN IN THE PARISH OF ST. MARrIN-Hdnging Of
Some of the Guilty Pd7ties-We translate the
following from " lie Courier Du Ieche" of st.
Martin, of the 22d of June:
The conspiracy which threw the Parish of St.
Martin into state of alarm, near two months
/ ago, has had terrible denouement. Thanks to
| the activity of the Vigilance Committee of False
Point, there has been discovered all the plot of
this horrible affair. Fwenty-sX negroes, belonging
to different propretors, and one white man, whose
name is unknown, were arrested. The confessions
obtained from each one of these questioned sepa-
ratey satisfy US in. way we cannot doubt that
an immense conspiracy existed, having for its OBJ
eCt general insurreetion of the negroes, the mas
saGra Of the pghitea and the violation of the wo-
men. It was to commence among the Inhabitants
of False Point. After having massacred the whites
other negroes to be obliged to Join the band
And the number Of insurgents, increasing thus
from house to house, were finally to divide into
two parties, to burn the villages of St. Martin and
New Iberia. The white man who commanded
them promised large reinforcements as soon as
they should commence. Twice the affair failed,
from unexpected circumstances, and if the hand Of
God had not protected US, we would have suffered
great misfOrtunes.
Justice has oveFtaken the miserable men whom
the Vigilance Committee seized. Six negroes have
been condemned to death, and will be executed
Monday next, the 2lth June Eleven have been
sent to the pententiary, and the others returned
to their masters after a severe correction
The greatest criminal of all remained to be dis
posed of-the miserable white man who had woven
the plot of the conspiracy, and entiCed the unfor-
tunate blacks to their destruction. His guilt did
not admit of a doubt. His accomplices denounced
him. Each one of them recognized him. All the
circumstances accorded perfectly with the confess
siOns of the criminals. 1t necessary that jus
tice be done, bat the law was powerless, with the
evidence Of those who had the right to accuse
their chief. Accordingly, on Saturday last, after
the sentence of the negroes had been pronounced,
more than five hundred of the inhabitants of the
parish assembled, examined coolly the facts bear
ing upon this horrible crime, and condemned the
guilty man to be hung summarily upon the first
tree. The consultations of religion were procured
for him, and justice was done Let the fate of
these unfortanates serve example to the fa-
natics Of l-iacoln who may be tempted to do as
they did.
