between whites and blacks seems hourly im'
minent. Both are under arms and negroes
are reported massed o few miles frn,n
Wsynesboro. White scouts were fred On
by negroes this morning. The Burke peonls
sent here today for troops, but the governor
declined to let any compsniesgo. Anumber
Of volunteers left tonight and It Is feared a
been made in different counties.
The Ifmes has special from Augusta
George, aboutthe reported attempts at insur.
rectiOn by the negroes 1t says two DAYS
since letter. WAS found ct Williamson's
store, the place where the colored militia
drills, ordering a massacre of whites on
the goth inst. The order was signed by one
Harris. and stated that Rivers, coiored
militia general OF South Carolina, would be
present and direct the movement. The order
says: "Kill every white man'and take every
gun you can. Have all your companies
ready. Kill with axes, hoes, pitchforks, and
get powder and shot as you kill" After
commencing the work in Washington county
the negroes are directed to move toward
Barlow, Jefferson county, where they would
be Joined BY Gen. Rivers At first, many
thought this hoax to scare the whites, but
yesterday letter was found In Jefferson
county, to the colored companies, giving
substantially the same instructions. The
whites, experimenting danger, telegfaphed
to Macon for ammunition, which was
promptly furnished and distributed TO the
local companies. Every preparation IL made
for a conflict but measures have been taken
TO prevent collision, and by. dnsk In the
evening, 80 negroes. charged with being ring.
leaders In the move, had been arrested. II
Is alleged the correspondence captured shows
the existence Of a. conspiracy among the
negroes, extending through the counties of
Washington, jefferson, johnson and Burke.
II Ii thought that the whites will not await
the process Of law, but lynch the prisoners.
Moderation is eounseled, but fears for the
worst are entertained. Many believe the
chief was intended. The letter is somewhat
similar to the. above mentioned Intercepted
In Hancock county, sometime ago, and the
whites armed, but no conflict took place.
There Is the greatest excitement Ia the cOun.
ties threatened, and the slightest imprudence
may Cause most serious consequences.
In an editorial notice Of the above dispatch,
the Times says up to the present. point the
alarm seems ludicr0us but when ne think Of
the possible fate Of negroes in the hands OF
militia crazy with fear 1t has q serious look.
