some extent-and, unfortunately, to fatal
extent-carried out. Under the cover of
night party of armed Abasians repaired to
the country house of the military comman-
dant and murdered that officer and all his
family, massacreing even the little children.
Almost simultaneously a regular rising was
made throughout Soukoum-kale and its vi
cinity the houses of the Russian officers of
all ranks and of private individuals also,
were attacked !; with torch and poniard the
Abasians carried devastation in every direc-
ton, sparing neither women nor children,
until the garrison of the fort came to the res
cue, and after an obstinate struggle got the
better of the assassins and saved the town
from further pillage. Between two hundred
and three hundred Abasians are said to have
been killed, and about one hundred Rus
slams, including women and children, most
of the latter having been massacred before
the soldiers could save them. The result of
this deplorable affair is that martial law has
been proclaimed throughout Abaisa ; and
several detachments of Russian troops have
been despatched as fast as steam can carry
them to Soukoun kale by way of Polh.

Ayers Pills, and see how directly they restore
the natural action of the system, and with it the
buoyant feeling of health again. What is true
and SO apparent in this trivial and common COM
plant is also true in many of the deep-seated and
dangerous distempers. The same purgative effect
expels them. Caused by similar Instructions
and arrangements of the natural functions of the
body, they are rapidly and many of them surely
cured by the same means None who know the
virtue of these Pills will neglect to employ them
when suffering from the disorders they cure,
such as Headache, Foul Stomach, Dysentery,
Bilious Complaints, Indigestion, Derangement Of
the Liver, Costiveness, Constipation, Heartburn,
Rheumatism, Dropsy, Worms and Suppression,
when taken in large doses.

tive take them easily, and they surely the

The Circassian Slave Trade.

4 FT1ghtfatI Massacre -Four Hundred
Persons KILLED.
A correspondent of the Leoant Herald, of
Constantinople writes
Letters from the Circassian coast report
popular outbreaks against the Russian au-
thorities at Souanettri in the mountain range
to the north of Inertia and in the Southern
Abasian slopes of the Caucasus, and the Rus
sian Consul at Trebizond has, it is said, re-
ceived reports from Soukoum-kale more or
less confrmatory of these statements. The
direct news from Soukoum-kale, if corrobo-
rated, is very serious indeed. 1t would seem
that four slave merchants arrived short
time since in Abasia from Trebizond, and
shortly after their arrival serious complaints
were made to the Russian authorities of the
abduction ola number of young girls, some
of them Christians. The Russians, to their
credit be it said, have organized regular
police system for the prevention of this in
famous traffic, and measures were immedi-
ately taken to arrest the four yessirtljis and
iberate the girls whom they had entrap-
ped.
There are, however, class of influential
Circassians who connive at this trade, from
which they derive direct pecuniary advan-
tage-a set Of crafty and turbulent intrigu-
ers, who profess Christianity to Christians
and Islamism to Mussulmans-to whom the
proceedings directed against the slave deal
ears by the Russian commander at Soukoum-
kale were not at all palatable. The leaders
of this clique are understood to be Mans Bev
and the immediate relations of Hamid Bey,
and of the late Abasian chief Michael. A
plot was sent on foot to surprise and nlassa-
ere the garrison and the Cristian population
of Soukoum-kale, to plumber the place and
then embark with number of slave girls in
eoasting vessels for Turkey, where the whole
band would present themselves in the guise
OF ordinary emigrants, and subsequently dis
pose OF their human freight at the best avail
This atrocious plot was, it appears, to

OF NORTH.CAROLINA
Convention, 1866.

THE STATE CONVENTION OF COLOREE
dunn through which the colored citizens could
communicate their thoughts, purposes and de-
sires, formed State League, with its auxiliaries
of the State. The State Legislature has been
memorialized in behalf of the colored people,
and our petition was treated with respectful con-
sderation. We have, far as practicable, es-
tablished auxiliary Leagues to promote the cause
of Education, and to look after the suffering
poor. While we feel deep sense of gratitude to
those Benevolent Societies which have done so
much for the Freedman, still we are conscious of
the fact that we must learn to rely upon our
selves, and the world is looking to us for dem
onstration of our capacity to perform the part of
useful, intelligent citizens.
The State League is the only recognized organ
ization we, a colored people, have; and it
having performed its duties to the best of it's
ability, it enjoined on us to call another Con-
veption, to be held in the City of Raleigh, the
first Tuesday in October next, the second day OF
the month. Let each County be represented as
the Counties are represented in the State Legis.
lature. In Counties where there are Leagues.

This is no time to compliment friends at the ex-

the day appointed, that we may counsel together
for the good of our people, and adopt such
measures as will best promote our interests.
1t is earnestly desired that every county be
fully represented.
Delegates will come prepared to defray the ex-
