Alarm i'm the South at an Expected Negro
Insurrecti0n.
The prospect OF . negro outbreak In the South ID be.
ginning 10 excite serious alarm in Official quarters here
Several prominent gentlemen from the South have
Gently called upon the President and represented that
the negroes were undoubtedly possessed OF and
ammunition in large quantities. They state that the
blacks organizing with hostile intentions and
templated the slaughter OF the defsnceless whites
1t the first favorable opportunity. These gen.
tlemen urged the President to increase the
military force in the FIVE military districts,
and thus BY timely display OF power overawe
the disafscted blacks. Nothing short OF this
they think VIII prevent early uprising OF this half
civilized class and the repetition Of all the atrocities Of
San Domingo. One Of these gentlemen predicts that
the OF will before the expiration OF
month"; unless the government adopts strong
to prevent such calamity. This gentleman declares
che negroes throughout the South have
thorough understanding, and that they have
even fixed upon the impeachment OF the
Prssidsnt - the proper moment for . bloody
uprising. These gloomy forebodings may be only the
offspring OF the natural fears entertained by the South
ern whites; but have think that the govern

whites entirely unarmed and defsnceless while the
blacks have abundance OF offensive weapons picked
up from baIleneds during the war; and since purchased
by money boarded away am informed that scarcely
negro cabin in the South is without enough for
four or five persons The President will undoubtedly
take steps for tho protection Of the deenceess whtes
but should the negroes revolt at the present moment
while the whites entirely denuded OF all OF
delence Is exaggeraton to state that third Of
the later would be butchered before the national forces
would have time to offer eff ctive The force at
present under the direction OF the Military Commanders
would be entirely inadequate for such an emergency
