NO FEARS OF NEGRO RESURRECTION.
RICHMOND, Dee. 30.-The exaggerated ac-
counts by telegraph from this city relative to
the expected rising of negroes in the southside
counties in this State, have no better founda-
ton than the fact that few days since squad
of soldiers were sent to Halifax, because dis
turbance on Christmas was feared. The negro
population throughout the State are as quiet,
so far as an armed instruction is concerned,
as they have been since their emancipation.
Neither the military headquarters nor the
Freedmen's Bureau have been advised of any
apprehended trouble.
