is the motive of the man who

would be, of itself, a tremen

of Boston who know what sla

on this subject.
Our readers in the Middle

subject is too grave to be trifled
with. By all which they hold

A College for the Education
of Colored youth! 'YG Bos
Jon Courier says: "The propo
sition to establish a College at
New-Haven, for the education
of colored youth, seems likely
to meet with some opposition.
A public meeting of the citizens
was called by "the Mayor, on
Saturday last, "to take? into con
sideration a scheme (said to be
in progress) for the establish
ment in that city, of 'a College
for the education of Colored
Youth' and to adopt such mea
sures as may be deemed expe
dient relative to the same."
The Petersburg; Times adds the
following remarks:
"What is the aim of these
fanatics'? Do they call them
selves Christians, Philanthro
imUwu imagine that they
will benefit humanity by the es
tablishment of a 'College for
the education of colored youth?9
Why is an institution of this
kind thought of at this particu
lar Unit? Are authors wanted,
to multiply such productions as
the celebrated Walker Pam
phlet!' Are missionaries need
ed to preach rebellion among
the slaves in the Southern
States'! Really, really, it is
time to pause, and ask the en
lightened, reflecting portion of
the ivistern people, it they can
look upon us as brethren, and
tolerate such detestable hypo
crites among them mad-men,
who iu pursuit of nphantom,rush
on regardless of consequences'!",
gJThe Editor of the Richmond
Whig, who was a member of the
troop of cavalry which proceeded
from Richmond to Southnmpton, has
published a statement of the recent oc
currences there, from which we ex
tract the following:
"Of the events at Dr. Blount's
we had a narrative from the gal
lant old gentleman himself, and
his son, a lad about 15, distin
guished for his gallantry and
modesty, and whom we take
leave to recommend to Gen.
Jackson, for a warrant in the
Navy or at West Point. The
Doctor had received informa
tion of the insurrection, and that
his house would be attacked, a
short time before the attack was
made. Crippled with the gout,
and indisposed to fly, he resol
ved to defend his house. His
force was his son, overseer and
Vol. VIII Xo. 7.
ily there were six
guns, and
plenty of powder i,t
the house. These were barely
loaded, his force posted, and the
instructions given, when the ne
groes from 15 to 30 strong, rode
up about day break. The Doc
tor's orders were that each man
should be particular in his aim,
and should fire one at a time;
he himself reserved one gun, re
solved it the house was forced
to sell his life as dearly as he
could. The remaining live fir
ed in succession upon the as
sailants, at the distance of fif
teen or twenty steps. The
blacks upon the fifth fire, re
treated, leaving one killed (we
believe) and one wounded, (a
fellow called Hark,) and were
pursued by the Doctor's ne
groes with shouts and execra
tions. Had the shot been lar
ger, more execution would
doubtless have been done.
"The report is, that the ri
sing was fixed for the fourth
Sunday in August, and that
they supposing Sunday, the 31st
July, to be the first Sunday iu
August, they were betrayed in
to the error of considering the
3d Sunday as the 4th.
"We regret to be under the
necessity of adverting to any
disagreeable circumstance con
nected with the expedition of
the Richmond troop of cavalry
to Southampton; but the con
duct of one individual, deserves
and shall receive at our hands,
the exposure and the chastise
ment, which in the opini.on of
all who have heard it, it most
richly deserves. On Thursday
morning the 25th, we arrived at
Jerusalem, and took up our
quarters at the tavern of Mr.
Henry B. Vaughan. This in
dividual was the brother-in-law
of Mrs. Vaughan, whose melan
choly fate and that of her fami
ly are noticed above. He had
no family, and is wealthy. Un
der these circumstances, good
feeling would have suggested
the propriety of his charging no
more than would indemnify
him, a base and sordid love of
pelf, could alone have prompted
the idea of speculating upor
men in our situation. We ten
ded our own horses with little
aid from his servants; did not
sleep in his house; were furnish
ed with the coarsest, and some
times, stinking fare; many nei
ther ate nor drank at his table,
but were entertained by the hos
pitality of the inhabitants; dc
i tacnments were absent on seve
ral occasions; and the troop left
on Wednesday, making the
time less than five days, ft will
excite astonishment to Icarn
that for this time, with this ac
commodation, and under all the
circumstances of the case, the
Landlord produced a bill ex
ceeding 8800! To state the
fact, is to inflict on him, the se
verest punishment the indig
nation of the public."
Sleep Walking. Mr. Benja
min P. Bartlett, aged about 24.
a native of Massachusetts, and
recently from Boston, was found
dead a few days since, on the
pavement, under the window of
his chamber in New-York, from
whence it is supposed, he must
have fallen or jumped in his
sleep. Verdict of the jury "that
he came to his death by injuries
received in fullim:."
