\ wcll-intormcd correspondent Of the
Hartford Times relates some interesting O
and suggestive incidents in the history OF
the negro Rivers, who is named as being
the head and front of the threatened msur-
rection in Georgia and South Carolina.
Before the war he was slave owned by
MIR. IL. Nj. Stuart, OF Brantord :. {. He
was Mr. Stuarts coachman, and was said
to be the finest looking negro 1T the South.
In 1867 Gen. SaNton sent him North in
charge of n clergyman, who exhibited
him in public meetings Us 4 tair specimen
Of the plantation negroes Alter getting
all the money they could they returned
to the South Rivers purchased u lot of
the abandoned property of the Govern
ment and went III us a planter, Not sue
ceedine in this he went into one of the
colored regiments. After the war he turn
ed up in one OF the up country parishes,
where he was elected to the Assembly
He there became one of the ring of scala
Wags and carpet-baggers consisting of
Gen. Scott, OF Ohio, Whitemore, of Mas
sachusetts, Dennis, of Connecticut, Moses,
Small, De Large, Bowen, Whippler, and
others of that sort The militia was or
ganized, and from subordinate official
position Rivers has risen to the rank OF
Mai General. He is u man of unbonnd-
ed ambition and much iLtllence, and it is
thought that it will be found that this
spirit of insurrection pervades other States
The idea among the negroes that the land
is theirs, and that their fathers earned it
by their labor, has been preached to them
for years, until they have become imbued
with that feeling to such IN extent that a
war of races would not be the most sur
prising occurrence OF the day

SouthdoWu Sheep.

SAYS:

are ranked as midiled woolcl They are
half way in quality and quantity OF wool
between the common and the best Aleri-
nos. But their mutton is the best in the
world, and their wetherS grow the largest
and command the highest prices in all the
markets. The day is not far distant when
all "ur lpt1 and pork will be demanded
for eastern and foreign markets. The
West must live upon mutton, and that OF
the linewooled sheep is iar from being

raised SO cheap rs Southdown mutton, As

upon the larger breeds OF sheep, there are
