Mexico has got to be redeemed by some
foreign power. The world needs the use Of
her wealth and her geogrsphicsi position.
III is an expensive job to redeem her. We
have shrunk from it every time when the
temptation and opportunity was right be-
fore Us.
We would wisely shrink from it again to-
day and for still greater reason wsuld
we shrink from shouIdering Mexico and
war with one or more foreign powers at the

other Power, will give Mexico to peacea-

order, and open its fabulous wealth. to the
world, no country will prosper thereby one

NEGRO CONSPIRACY IN MISSISSIPPI.

Caro-, November 20, 1855.
A we'll known citizen Of Mississippi, in
whose statements We place the utmesl con-
idence, informs vs. that some time since
the citizens ef Ripley. Miss, wers led to
believe, from certain movements of the ne
gr0es in that vicinity. that som ething IN
usual was gsing on. Negroes were dis
covered making mysterious visits to La
Grange, going and returning frequently.
This aroused suspicion. and the citizens
determined TO ferret ont the designs Of the
negroes. They accordingly hsld meeting,
and appointed tive OF the number detec-
tlses. The citizens. 10 shom the duty Of
discovering the pIaas oil the negroes had
been entrusted. perforated their duty well,
and obtained the information they desired.
They dressed themselves in Federal uni
forms, Insrailated themselves into the con-
fideRce Vt the negroes who appeared to Be
the leaders in the mysterious movement,
ascsrtaining that conspiracy had been
organized among the blacks, extending
from the Mississippi river to South Carroll
na, and that m insurrection was conten.
plated about Christm 5.
The plans Of the negroes were being
rapidly consummated, and had they not
been discovered, would undoubtedly have
resulted in. the horrors Of San Domingo and
Jamaica IN the Southern States. Four of
the ringleaders have been arrested, two Of
whom have made confession, and diyulged
information which led to the capture of the
arm. and ammunition Of the conspirators.
Great excitement prevailed for time. A
feeling Of security has been created by the
fact that prompt measures have been taken
10 MP IN the bud any future attempts Of
lhe ectionists.
