The danger of 4 general European war
growing out of the IIerzegov inian revolt is
practically removed. Russia. Germany and
Austria having resolved that the eastern
question shall not be raised. and that this
trouble must be settled by the Intervention
of the leading European powers if Turkey
can't do it herself. The ambassadors of
the three countries named had a lone con-
ference with the grand vizier on Thursday
to talk matters over; one account repre-
sent> that they formally advised s,lspen-
sion Of hostilities so as to ascertain the
grievances of the insurgents, which Tur-
key declined another and more probable
explanation is that they only rendered their
friendly offices, and meant to give the sui
tan hint of what he must expect if he
dosnt end the matter himself pretty soon.

Trouble in Georgia.

An old fashioned negro scare broke loose
in half Il dozen of the counties of Georgia
last week. The first dispatches announced
that a great massacre Of whites had been
prevented by the arrest of a large number
Of negro insurrectionists, but the latest adj
vices show that the source Of the troubl c
was partly panic without cause among
the whites, and partly the rnporings of Il
half-dozcn troublesome negroes The fol
lowing is condensed account Of the tirht
and its subsistence:
On Monday, as it is reported, letters
were found in the store of a negro, named
Williamson, situated in Washington county
some fifty miles from Augusta, ordering a
general mas sacre of the whites on Friday
The order was as follows: Kill every
white man, and take every gun you can
get. Have all your companies ready.
Kill with axes, hoes, pitch-forks, and
get gunpOwder and shot us you kill. >
" The work was not confined to one coun-
ty alone, bat after its commencement was
to extend to jefferson. johnson and Burke
counties and, perhaps, elsewhere The
governor, on being informed of the situa-
ton, ordered the white " military COM
panles to report to sheriffs for duty, eau
tionlng the sheritfs :" to be careful in the
exercise of their powers while arms
and ammunition were promptly forward
ed to the whites from Macon. At the
last reports, eighty arrests had been made,
no opposition being offered, while many
of the negro militia came in and voluntt-
rily surrendered themselves. 4 telegram
to the New York Times says that it is
- thought that the arrests Wednesday
" and the preparations made by the whites
- will prevent any outbreak 1t is now
Z" feared that the whites will not await the
process Of the law but will lynch the
prisoners now in Jail. Moderation is

= cntertalned,' while a still later telegram
reports that still further arrests are bein O
made; that in Burke county both races are
under arms, the negroes being massed
ut Waynsboro," and that a collision was
hourly expected.
The counties where the trouble was are
near the South Carolina border and plen-
tifully supplied with hard characters both
black and white. Gov. Smith took Il very
jullcious course and finally appeared on
the scene himself. He was greeted ut the
public meeting at Sandersville on Saturday
with enthusiasm by both blacks and whites
of Washington county. He addressed them,
urging the blacks to be Industrious and
law-ablding,and the whites to be calm and
forbcaring. One hundred negroes were in
Washington county Jail, but all, with The
exception of Il few ringleaders, will be re-
leased. OF seventy arrests in Burke county,
all but five have been released. Gen
Prince Rivers of South Carolina saws he
knew nothing of the affair, and if his name
was used by the negroes it was without
his knowledge. The citizens ofAugusta do
not believe he had anything to do with the
projected rising. No further trouble is an
ticipated. as peaceful reports come in from
all the counties.
