HoRRID1E NEGRO PLOT DISCOVERED. D.
A special despatch to the New Orlea MS
Bulletin, dated New Iberia, August Z,
says:
"a dreadful plot of the negroes has
just been discovered here TO kill the
inhabitants and to set fire to the resi-
dences and plantations in the Parish
of st. Martin. The facts we're dis.
closed by letter which was handed to
prominent white gentleman by a
Republican, who vouches for the truth
OF the statement it contains. The plan
was to comm snce killing and burning
at the Lestrapes place, and continue
their work of rapine and murder as far
as st. Martinsville. A recommenda.
ton is made in the letter to set the
plantations on fire, in order to find
where money could be found. The
negroes we're to keep for themselves
the most beautiful women, and the
parties who were to be killed were
mentioned by name. As soon as the
criminals ascertained that their horrid
plans were discovered, they fed the
Parish in hot haste. The greatest ex.
citsment prevails, and the people are
thoroughly aroused and determined to
discover and bring to punishment the
Villains who have meditated this dread
f1l massacre and pillage."
