They were sentenced to bo Initio- on fcnturtlay next. Star. Abingdon, ( Va.) Nov. f. We have received the following letter from the Postmaster at hmgsporr, lenn.ou the subject of the late insurrection at that place: "For some days previous to the 17th, there was considera ble alarm among the people. On the 17th and 18th nit. about T1 negroes were apprehended, some G or 8 of whom were used as witnesses. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, were ta ken up with an examination; the result of which was, that 16 were committed to jail and their trial is now progressing before a called Court in Blount ville. I presume there will be something like an official report of the whole matter in a few day days; at present we arc all quiet. OCA letter received in Alex andria, dated Greensboro' Green county, (Alab.) Oct. 23, says: i hasten to inform you, be fore the mail closes, that an ex press has arrived from Clai borne county, apprising the in habitants of this county, that a rising of the negroes was to have taken place on Sunday last, a boy having discovered the plot. Twenty of the lead ers are in jail in Claiborne, and we have secured ten in this neighborhood, one of them a preacher, having about him a number of the infernal Libera tor. I am appointed captain of the patrol, and have to ride 20 or 30 miles a night, rain to the contrary notwithstanding." Alex. Gaz. known of recovery when they are attacked by this terrible malady. Interesting to Cotton Plan ters. A friend, now on a visit to the Eastern States, has sent to us, by the ship Dover, from Hoston, a specimen of what is called "Patjta Cotton," a small portion of which is in the sood. and a portion ginned; together with the seed taken fro latter, which may be examined at our office. It is stated to grow spontaneously on the coast of Peru, and that any quantity may be had in the seed at one cent per pound. Two parcels have been lmnorted in to Boston, one of which amoun ting to about 200 bales, has been ginned out by a common saw gin, and some of it sold at 15 cents per pound. The oth er parcel is in the process of be ing cleaned by hand. It was found to lose about 2-3ds of its weight in the process of clean ing. 1 he merchants interested in these importations, accord ing to the statement of our cor respondent, seem to think if the duty on imported Cotton were removed, that a good business may be done in the article. The staple is so long, that none of the machinery at present in use in the neighborhood of Boston can work it advantageously. Our correspondent also states, that there is a quantity of seed, winch might be procured.should any of our planters be inclined to try it. Charleston Cour. 0?"A printed Circular letter, dated at Albany, Sept. 16, has been received by the Postmas ter at Ervinsville, in Rutherford county in this State, in which the writer asserts the equality between the whites and blacks, and declares his determination "as an individual to use all honorable means to sever the iron band that unites," &c. &c. The object of the author is easi ly imagined. It was to be ho ped the Southampton tragedy would allay this fiend-like phi lanthropy, in every part of the country; or that the present ment of the Grand Jury of Wake would deter from any further attempt; as neither has had the desired effect, it furnishes addi tional evidence of the necessity, that the .pproaching Legisla ture should adopt some means, by which offenders may be cer tainly and severely punished. Ruth. Spec. Mela n ch ohf In tell igence. The St. L ouis (Missouri) Re publican of the 1st inst. says: We have seen an extract of a letter from Mr. Dougherty, a gent of the Pawnees, to his bro ther, which says that the Small Pox has been committing dread ful ravages among the Pawnee Indians. Nearly the whole of one tribe (the Pawnee Repub lic,) of about 3,500 souls, have been swept off the number dying daily being so great that they had not been able to bury them. The cause of the dis ease being so fatal among them is, that they immediately plunge into the water as soon as the fever makes its appearance thus driving the disease inward ly. Scarcely an instance is Racing. The sporting com munity has been on the full tide of enjoyment at the Central Course, Baltimore. A larirc number of fine horses had as sembled to try their speed; and it is said as many as 10,000 spectators were present part of . the time.
