I’etcrsbur^j, KichmnnJ and Norlolk in N a.
Three companies of I'. S. Tro«pr4 were also
promptly ordered from I'ortn’v) Monro^,

botly of Maritws were addi*d, under com-
inanil of Commodore Klliott, w ho had just

from a futiguiiip cruize. IWfore the most
of these detachments however rearhed

Most of the insurgents were well armed
and mounted, but do not appear from the?
nceounts nctivfil, to have evinced much
r.Kirago or intrepidity, in th*-ir stvenil skir-
iiish"S with the uhite.s. It is a singular
fact that ill the sevi-rnl rencontres which

IridH'd, in one in‘>tance, where a party of
blacks was attack*d by four whites, it is
Rtated that the latter succeeded in repuUiiig
thiMn, after killing thrt'e or four and taking
w \ernl prisoiiors. By Wedne-idiiy night,
the whole band of insurgents, with the ex
ception p‘ihaps of two or tlin'e, were either
killed or c.i|>tured. The two leadcr-i were

ting th.it an “ insnrrettion'’ had broken out
niiiong the blacks—tliiit several white fain-
ilif's had lx’,en destroyed; that arms and
uinninnition were wanting in Soiitluimpton,
and that a considerable military tbrce might
lie n'ljuin-d to kiiIhIiic tin; disturbers.—Je-
riis ilein is about 70 miles from Uichmond—
C((|. 'l”s letter wfts written on the Ulst—
eviilenlly in gre.it haste—without giviug
nuinbers, names, v^c. It was .sent by ex
press to the Aiilhoiities of tin; ’.own of I’e-
teinlnirg—tind hy them despatched to the
Mayor of this city. It was n*eeived on
Tuesday tnoniing, and laid boforc tlic O'uv-
crnor. The council Using convened, (there
l>eing no other member in the city than the
Lieut. Gov.) the advice was given to take
the earliest and most ellicicfit measures.—
Arrangements were immediately taken by
the ('hief Magistrate for the purpose. Anns
and ammunition w’eit; despatched in wagons
to the county of iSouthampton. The lour
Volunteer Coin|)anies of i'ertcrsliurg, the
Dragoons and Lafayette Artillery Company
of Richmond, one Volunteer Company from
Norfolk and one from Portsinoutli, aud the
Regiments of Suuthampton and Sussex,
were at «nco ordered out. 'I'he Dragoons
of this «ty, commanded by Cajit. Randolph
Harrison, took up the line of march on
■'I'uesday evening. The Lafayette Artille
ry, commanded by Capt. John U. Richard
son, embarked ut o’chxik the same even
ing, 111 the Steamboat Norfolk, to land at
Smithfield. Ue presume that Brigadier
Cieneral li)pi>C8 will cominaiid the detach
ments.
Another express on the .same eveningfrom
the .Mayorof l^etersburg, requested the Gov
ernor to send over arms—which were ac
cordingly despatched.
No authaUic accounts have been receiv-
e] of the character of this unexp*?ctpd trans
action—of the nuinlier of blacks collected,
of their desigits, of the mischief they have
done; whether they are the men! runaways
who have broken out from the Swamps, or
how many slaves of the neighboring plan
tations have joined—whether they have got
together tor mere rapine and robbery, or
for what. Hut that these wretrhes will run
the djy on which they broke hnise ujioii the
neighboring population, is moot certain. \
terriblo rctribulioii will fall U|H>n their heads.
Dearly will they pay for their mudness and
their misdeeds.
LiUi r.—W e have later accounts, but they
are still rumors; still deficient in authenti
city. It IK said that the leader ot'tlie blacv
had Imcn shot at the bridge at Jeru.saiem—
that aliout 20 nogrcjcs were on thcir inarch
to their rende/vous, and attacked by four
whites—li killed, and several prisoners taken.
It Is said there had been a skirmish b‘-
tw*Mn th>; largest body ot' the blacks, and
some liiw militia—that the negroes had llcu
into a Wood—and the w rtter of the letter,
uho gives this account, believes that as
suoii as the troops are up, they would l«e
completely surrounded aud cut olf. An am
ple retribution will U- their lot tor the bkxMl
which they have shed. Rumor had .stateil
the lainilwr of tiicir victims as high as 70
i-T ‘“(I, perhaps nmre—hut such stories are
sgrtatly fxitgi'iralul. Wo have no
doiiU it IS in the picscnt m.staiice.
 >iic fjf the last e\pre.ss(is states, that most,
if not all the Mackji were runaways, w ho hud
broken out of the swninps, to rob and do
mischiet'—tiiat iV-w, if any, of the plaiita-
jtion hands, had joined tiieiii—and in one
ease, he he,ird of a ma-ter of one of the e»-
t.itos turning out w ith his slaves, to meet a
party coming to nttac k him—that two of
the assailants had l«een killed, a third vvoiiii-
d>*d, and the rest ran of!’. He heard of .sev-
cral others U'liig killed ejstiwhere. Hut it
IS e.vtnuiiely diilicult to get at the truili in
ail such cases.

by the whiti's, and several of the blacks
killed, and 0 or of them taken prisoners,
and thrown into jail. I'apt. H. understands,
that the bl.icks are in two or three iletach-
nieiits—that they have perjK-trated in all
aUiut (iO murders; tliat they have lo.st a
considerable |>iirt of'their force; that their
spirits are broken, that their object st-ems
now to lie to skulk, and that they have lof.t
all further intention of' conimitti:);' lurtlier
depredations. He is of opinion, froin what
he understands, that no more troops will b'
required to repress them; there being a
sullicient nuinlier to ellect that object.
'i'ho F.xpreas who brought the letters
from Petersburg understands that the Rich
mond Dragoons arrived in Southampton on
'\’ednesday night. 'J'he story of the lea
der being shot down near Jerusalem is sjiid
to b! contradicted. It is sugge.sted that lie
IS a negro from North-Carolma, and his
name has been quoted, we know not on what
authority, to bo that of Nathaniel Turner.
It IS supposed that most of these marau
ders and murderers we.re runaway negroes,
who had broken in n[>on the white |iupula-
tion, f(ir rohlH*ry and other mischief. 'I'here
is no app(!arance of concert among the
slaves ; nothing that can deserve tho name
of insurrection, which it v\as originally dc-
noiimiatcd. There is some story of a lew |
. white faces bfiing senn, or fTipjxjsed to be
I seen, among them. No particular account
i has been received of the detachment near
I lielfield ; though there were rumors of soifte
I of them having been cut or shot down.—
I'he number of the banditti has ')een prob-
! ably much magnified, if it be true that on-
I ly forty were engaged rn tlio skirmish near
j Jerusalem.
I 'riiere is no doubt that any further dan-
I ger from them is by this time over, wid that
j they will dearly riio the day when thev ever
j dared to break in U|Hjn the p!ace of the
j country ; and to shed the t>lo«l of any one;
particularly the women and chddrt^n.

Still Later.—A letter was received yes
terday by the Governor, from ( ien. Epfies,
dated at Jerusalem, .\ugu.^ 24. Hu states,
, that it is ascertained that forty-six wliites
; have been murdered ; soiais of them horri-
I bly mangled; some say tiiut fifty-tliree are
j killed—that the number of insurgents were,
I according to the best intelligence, reduced
j to si.x—though it is not inipixjbable they
1 may attempt to rally. Twelve had been
j taken; several had U-en apprehended, not
[of the rioters, but suspected-^fiftcen had
I been killed—the rest, with Gelfr'rdl .Nat.

Awful Calamity.—Our Town has been

seven o’clock that beautiful fabric, the Bridge

to tell when; it stood. Such was the over

of its yielding bjfore the desolating flood,
two white men and two negroes hud enter

could reach this end, astonishing to tell they
were all saved. As to the amount of dam
age suptaiued by the crops it is impossible
to say. The low grounds on each side in
some places for more than a mile in extent

a few evenings since on her return home
from visiting a friend, was rather insolently
accosted by a young jentleman, who endea
vored to detain her. 'i'he lady, a little ex
asperated, after finding her r.moiistrancea
of no avail, drew back, and with one well
directed blow with her clenched hand, (wo
dare not say fisi) laid the young gentleman

What Kiy you .Messrs. (.'raniologists and
I’hrcnologists, with regard to the talents ol
this 1k»v '! We believe that one of the gt'n-
eral rules of your science is, that a large
head is more apt to j>ossi'ss geuius and tal-
ejits than a small one. This boy, however,
is an exception to this rule, lie is a very
dull fellow, and says he “ canuot learn fast.”
I le is a sound healthy chap, aud a good hand
to work. His head is, (as a Cianiologist
would say) without any derelopemcnt. It
is a smooth as a green gourd, w ithout bump
or knot. We examined it particularly, and
looketl ill vain for the organs of “ m-nsiition,'"
