Over and orer again has the boast been re-
peated to me that On the plantations lock aud
key are unknown or unused in the planters
houses. But in the cities they are much used,
though scarcely trusted. Tt appears. indeed,
that unless e1aVe has made mp his or her
mind to incur The dreadful penalties Of night,
there would be no sndaeement to commit
theft, for money and jewels would be nselesa;
search would be easy, detection a}most certain.
That ali the elaVes are not Indifferent to the
Issues before them is certain. At the house Of

when old English Gomez" An old domestic
in the house Of gentleman in this city said:
"There-are few whites in this place who
ought not to be killed for their cruelty to u.s."
Another said, "Oh, just wait till they attack
Pickens!" These little hints are BIZ ignifcant
enough, coupled with the notices Of rauaways
.and the Judgments in the police 5ails, to show
that all is not quiet below the surface. The
holders, however, are atm, and there have
been many parae raphs stating that slaves have
contributed to the various funds for State de
feDse, and that they generally show the very
best spirit.
