The Georgia Insurrection.

Our neighbors across the Savannah
River have been greatly excited during
the past week over reported insurrec-
ton among the negroes in Washington,
Jefferson and Burke counties. Comics
sions have been made to the effect that
nineteen counties of Georgia were en-
braced in the plans of the insurrectionists.
The discovery of the plot was made ten
or twelve days ago by finding a letter
from one of the leading negroes at a
place in Washington county where the
negroes are in the habit of drilling at
night. The writer commanded that all
the whites were to be massacred on Fri
day last, 2Oth inst AS the day approach
ed, the white people within the region
described became alarmed at the pros
pect, and the authorities were invoked to
preserve the peace, and arrest the often
ders, who were arming and drilling in
small numbers at different points. The
affair created intense excitement through
out Georgia, and prompt action was
taken by Gov. Smith to maintain tho
peace and prevent bloodshed. Under
his authority, sufficient military force
was congregated to uphold the civil au-
tborities in making arrests and suppress
ing disorder He promptly advised the
whites to be calm, moderate and thought
full in word and action, and under his
admirable direction the whole affair has
been brought to peaceful termination.
About one hundred negroes are now
under arrest, and at least twenty-five of
them are ring-leaders, who will be held
for trial at an extra term of the Superior
Court this week. Several of the prison.
crs have made confessions, and all agree
in the nature and extent Of the proposed
insurrection, which was concoctcd by a
Gen. Morris, colored, who was to be
assisted by Gen. Prince Rivers, in this
State. Rivers has printed card deny
ing all knowledge Of the affair, but the
testimony points strongly to his guilt.
He is expressly named in the confessions
as the head-centre, with Morris as second
in command. This villainous scheme
originated with the Union League, which
is being reorganized in the Southern
States for desperate purposes. The Gcor-
gians are to be commended for modera-
ton and forbcarance under these exaspe-
rating circumstances, where there was a
foul conspiracy to murder all the whites,
except the handsomest women, who were
to be used for vile purposes. Gov. Smith
deserves credit for his noble conduct and
manly counsel.

Louisville Medical College.

We have received a letter from the
executive committee of the Louisville
(Ky.) Medical College, requesting the
publication of the following card, which
is generous proposition to young men
of slender means who are anxious to re-
receive a thorough medical education.
This system of beneficiary scholarships
in medical schools was originated and
developed by the Trustees of the Louis
vile Medical College, and every year the
fact is extensively advertised that young
men who are unable to pay for their ed
ucation are entitled to receive its benefits
upon application. Any young man who
is desirous of attending this College for
the next session would do we'll to consult
the editors of this journal, who will take
pleasure in furnishing other information
to the applicant. We annex the card to
which reference is made:
The Trustees of the Louisville Medical
College louisville, Ky have, in accord
ance with the provisions Of their charter,
established a Beneficiary System, whereby
any young man studying medicine and
being unable to pay for his education,
may receive a Beneficiary Scholarship,
which relieves him Of payment of the
Professors fees. The public will be
pleased to learn that this well known
College has abolished all fees for its di-
plolnas; the Faculty being thus wholly
llnintcrestcd pecuniarily in the result OF
all examinations for graduation. For
particulars, address Dean of Louisville
Medical College, 1853 Second Street,
