SLAVE REVOLT IN HANCOCK.
The reported instruction of blacks in
Hancock County seems to have been a more
serious affair than first supposed. From
trustworthy information communicated us
quite large number of negroes are impli-
Gated in the intended revolt. Their organ
izstion was complete, and officers chosen
from that of Major General down to
Corporal. The chief of the conspiracy is
an artful and intelligent fellow, who was
well qualified to be leader of such a
dangerous enterprise.
He was the Major General of the forces
and proceeded to Atlanta on business con-
Euected with the plot. The plan was laid to
join Rosecrans when he arrived and capture
Atlanta, after first killing off the old white
men and women and children, and appro-
! priating the young women as wives. To
this they were put up by designing rascals
from Lincolndom who are now infestiDg the
whole country. A number of the riDgleade rs
of the plot have been arrested and lodged
in the Hancock Jail, and with them the
Major General, who was brought in irons
from Atlanta.
On arriving at the Jail and seeing his COM
rades 'cribbed,' he said to tn EN- scornfully.
! Y GU have played -, haven't your and
then subsidized into stu born silence in refer
ence to his object.
Judge Thomas has ordered an extra ses-
sion of the Superior Court for the Bird M on
day of this month, to invest igate the case
and properly punish these m isguided and
desperate malcontents, if found guilty, as
they are sure to be, from the disclosures al
ready made. Let other communities take
warning. Macon Confederate, 14th.
THE FUNERAL OF SLAVE.
From the Richmond Examiner, Oct 24l
Several days since very likely slave
woman of Mr.. Il. B. Rees died, and her
funeral took place from the African Church,
attended by an immense concourse OF color
ed people. The master of the deceased
caused to be provided very ndsom e
coffin, which was covered by bouquets and
flowers, and the cortege to the grave was
composed of thirty-three hacks.
This was in edmond, the capital of the
Southern Confederacy, and in the midst OF
the "slsve-driving aristocracy."
In the 'contrsband pens near Washing
ton, D. c.. the capital Of the United States,
and the seat of the great 'Emancipationist
party" dozen wretched negroes die daily,
aud their only attendants to the grave are
two living 'contIabands, > to carry the rough
board box, and one with spade to dig the
hole. How looks the two pictures, and in
which is the most humanity exhibited?
THE PRICE OF BEEF IN RICHMOND.
The Richmond Dispatch, of the 21st, con-
tains correspondence between the butchers
Of Richmond and Chief Commissary of Vir-
ginia, in which the latter object to a pro-
position by the butchers to pay as high as
thirty-five cents per pound for cattle, when
the Government is limited by law to the
payment of only from sixteen to twenty
cents, because it would deprive the armies
in Virginia and the people ont of Richm ond
of the ability to procure beef adequate to
their wants, and would cause a monopoly of
the supply by the butchers. 1t was finally |
concluded th at the butchers should pay, as |
the maximum price for beef, twenty five |
cents a pound gross, and should obligate |
themselves to retail it from their stalls at |
from forty to sixty cents net. The arrange
ment is heralded by the Richmond press as
q god-send to the poorer classes who will |
thus be enabled to have taste of beef on
the payment of forty cents a pound for the |
inferior qualities. A supply store is also
in Richmond, where food is TO be
and sold to the needy at mod crate
rates, and several capitalists have signifed
their willingness to advance large sums of
money to start the enterprise.
The Dispatch states that prison room SIS
so much needed by Gen. Winder and suita-
Bile houses are so very scarce, that he will
probably be compelled to take the new
rheater, Metropolitan Hall and the Varie-
lies for his purposes. These buildings are
arge, and may be fitted up as prisons at
omparatively small expense"
THE FoRTIFICATIoNs AT CHATTANOOGA.
The Richmond Dispatch has a regular
correspond ent with the army of Gen. Bragg,
Who writes over the signature 'Sallust,' with
moro than ordinary intelligence. In one of
lis late letters he describes the Federal
at Chattanooga, as consisting of
works on the Federal extreme left, up the
liver, the "Star' fort In the center, and the
Moecasin" works. The writer says: "These
asst works are on the north side, and in
end of the river opposite our left, and are
o designated because the ground 10 the bend
{ the river assumes the shape of on Indians

loccasiD is elevated and irregular, and '
