The State at Georgia exempts from t lxation for a certain nuuiber of years, alicapital invested in manufac uting. The result is that money from other Slates is lowing into Georgia, seeking investment in cotton aud other f:ieto-rie.-i. That the plan is a good, one is plain to the commonest understanding. And what in beneficial to Georgia in this respect, will be equally beneficial to North Carolina. North Carolina must tooner or later become a great manufacturing Slate. One that will prosper at least in proixrtiou to the investments in manufacturing on its border:-. This being so, it would seem a wie policy to favor for a terra of years at least, b- partial or entire- ex emption from taxation all capital thus i a vested. But how can this be done? Will tho Democrat inform us whether it can be done at au unuer ine present Constitution, and if not whether it will bo possible for the Constitution to be changed so that a Legislature wid have the power Lo pass such a law be fore tho third Monday iu November, 1S7M, except hy calling a Convention? According to our understanding cf the law, the process of changing the Constitution without calling a Conven tion is as follows : The bill of amend ments must be passed by the present j Legislature by a two-thirds vote of each house ; for sis months prior to the election for members of the Legis lature iu 187G the bill of ameii'lintnts must be published to the people ; the bill ef amendments must then be lsso j jjy (jie uew ijegislature in the session oi 1870 by a vote cf thrce- i s of the numbers of each houe. iud must then be ratified by a vote of ti,c ,,eol,le of the State at large. This brings us on into 1877, and proL ably as iato into that year as the mouth of August, if wo should live that long. The Legislature uo-.v meets oll one; in two years, and iu the even - numbered years at that, so there uo regular session after the -jnter of 1870 until the winter of 18i8 a p eriod rf near four years and a .7r; if a convention be called scarce a twelve mouths need pass before all tho desired changes can bo made. Anel yet tho Democrat is one of the papers that opposes the call of a Con vention. Is the settling up of our waste lands to bo postponed for four year3 and a half? Is the flow of capital into our State for investment in manufactures to bo kept back for four years and a half ? Is tho tide of emigration into our Stato to bo stayed for four years and a half ? Are the people of our State to bear their grievous bur dens for four years and a half longer ? If there be no Convention such must bo their fate. And is it tho Conservative pir-fv of North Carolina that etares tako upon itself tho responsibility of this great wrong? Let gentlemen wlio oppose the call of a Convention pauso and conskler what answer the Conserva tive party will give the people in the elections in 1S76. when they demand to know why their Constitution still keeps them in poverty and oppression. Tho Conservative party has the power, if it has the will, to relievo the people. Let those who desire it, take tho re sponsibility of not exercising that power. Tho Journal desires no such responsibility. It is of the people and stands by thorn, In tho northwestern corner of the Territory of Wyoming is located one of the most beautiful lakes on this continent, if not in the world. Adja cent to it are four majestic rivers, the Yellowstone, flowing into tho Missis sippi at a elistance of 1,300 miles; tho Missouri itself, which finels its way to the Gulf through the father of waters; the Columbia, which leads to the Pa cific, and the Colorado, which, passing through the most remarkable canon in the world, discharges its waters into the Gulf of California. Gronped arounel this lako and in tho midst of this water-shed is perhaps the grand est disppvy of cateracts, hot springs, geysers, mud volcanoes, and natural architectural beauties to bo found on the face of tho globe.

Tin- is pursued by a hungry s t of Southern carpet-baggers from camp-meeting to race course, from j Washington City to Long Branch, hoping lo catch him between his din ner hour and his afternoon drive to pour into his smoky brain the horrors of the new rebellion which has br ikeu out in the South, to the end that troops may be distributed throughout our section in order to co .trol the elections in South Carolina, Alabama and Louisana by the bayonet. Sen ators Patterson of South Cjrolina, ami Spencer of Alabama, and Representative LTays of Alabama, des pairing of overtaking our peregrina ting Presideut.unburdened themselves to that common sewer of all the filth of the Administration, Attorney-General Williams. Congressman Hays, teli tho Attorney-General that he is suro to be beaten unless he can elis tribnte a regiment of troops among the doubtful parts of his district. He says he is "shunned by the white peo ple, and even by the negroes," aud he must have troops. Senator Patterson declares that the only hope of the party in South Carolina is "to nave the Federal army distributed through the St to and retained there until af ter elci-fioB." Senator Spencer avers that lie heard of tho thootlug of a ne gro some tine since, and he feels cer tain that the election will go wrong n-i'eps there are sufficient United States ti.eps on hand lo ecae the desired result. There is perhaps nothing in elie whole history of reconstruction, if we exci pt the Louisiana usurpation, a loch t qu.iis in boldness this avowal I'iiio purely political purpose for l.ieh J 'i ll era 1 interference is sought. Attorney-General Williams dispateh- es me x rtiueu. uuu iua o.:.c.u. ae.n- a''y forgoes the pleasure of an after- noon's drive to write n letter to the ..rr.fnrxr f War ,,,-, f 1 , ject of Southern. ijisoniers, and directs him to pljce at the dis posal of tho Attorney-General, such troops as may be needed to maintain order in the Southern State3, i. e., euough to carry the elections for the Republican party. Wo my therefore soeui hear of such States in which elections aro to be held, being filled with Federal soldiers, and hoar too of elections being nfjain controlled by Federal bayonets. As yet we have seen no indignation expressed upon the part of Noithern papers and speaker. Nothing is said of the gross violation of the Constitu tion which prohibits the invasion of States by Federal soldiers, except on the aip!ication of the Legis.'a:ure, or of the Executive, when the Leg islature cannot be convened; nothing is said of the paitiziu tyranny over the Southern people; nothir.g is said against the effort to remit the South again to a condition of vassal -rtg? ; nothing is said against giving Federal authority to the seditious at tempt to foment a war of races ; noth ing is said against the material loss which will ba occasioned to every in dustry in the land. We hear of its ef fects upon the aspirations cf individu als arid the respects of parties. Yes, even its bearing upon a third term is sagely hinted i-t. The industries of the country suiter, the rights of the people are trampled upon, their libtr ties curtailed, their li.es endangered, and the most sacreel provisions of the fundamental law ruthlessly violated to secure the re-election of such worth less characters as Patterson, Spencer and Hays, and in tho vain effort to pave the way for a third term. Our people meet and elt monstrate the falssty of the charges; the almost universal quiet existing throughout j the South, the late peaceful elections j in this State, all plead in vain against the false representations of these in terested parties. In South Carolina a war between two negro Senators at . Georgetown, confined to negroes alto gether, condemns tho whites of that prostrate State to the vengeance of the Administration. A difficulty in Louis iana, began by negroes, in which the whites in self-defence are forced to kill a few white leaders who were urg ing on tho negroes to eleeds of violence, brings that Stato under tho ban. The unfortunate lynching of some negroes in Tennessee, who had been caught in the act of exciting riot and bloodshed, with arms in their hands, and having actually fired on defenceless whites, is to subject that State to military rule. Yet we read of the lynching of a negro in Pennsylvania, the breaking v.oe. of a j d! in Indiana and the execu tion of a prisoner, and throughout the North the papers teem with instances of the grossest violations of law, not only without arrests, but almost with out public comment. In the meantime tho country de mands peace. Its prosperity is well nigh paralyzed, and its laws aro deael letters upon the statute books. Are we to have another invasion of the South ? Is tho North prepared io suffer the loss to commerce ? Can the country afforel to open again tho wounds of the war and renew its injuries ? The Tax Union in South Carolina is rapidly becoming n strong and vigor ous organization. Says the Charles ton lie ids and Courier: "Already one hundrod and eighty-one subordinate Tax Unions have been formed, with nine County Unions." The Union is stoutly supported in two-thirds of the counties of the State. The object of the Union is to secure lawful taxation, and an honest administration of the public funds, "Resistance to tyrants is the law of God." The wine countries of Europe nota bly the Rhine and Moselle districts, it is said, will produce an extraordinary quantity and quality of wine this year, rivalling their achievements in 1811 and 1825, and due this year as then to some unexplained influence of comets on tho grape. l At a prayer meetiuj Leld at a well known first-class chi') nt Whitehall Oard-.-ns, a reverend elf rjjToa:i prayea earrut-tiy for Mr. Gladstone, tiiat he ni!iht be tu'ned ino the wav of truth. and for Mr. Disraeli that he might be continued therein in connection with the Public Worship bill.

Among the candidates are J. liaueiolph Tucker, Jehu Gocule, ex-Gov. Gilbert C. Walker, Beverly Douglas, George C. Cabell, and John T. Harris, all of whom are men of marked abihtv. The probabilities fa vor tho election of all of these excerpt perhaps Mr. GooJe, who lias great odds against him in a larg.i Republi can majority and the pitronage of the Norfolk Navy-Yard. Virgiuia has therefore a fair prospect for a Con gressional delegation compared favor ably with those contributed by her to the nation in the days before tho war. roiu iuo Kiclimoiiil .Enquirer. rvcvias -ivi; i r nii. sini'. Were we not entirely satisileel that a vast proportion of the utterances of de spair in respect to the eventual res tablishnient of a pure and just Repub lican form of government in America, which appear in the daily press, anel we constantly hear expressed by those who instinctively prefer the dark siele of every bubject.are only as it were mo mentary ebullitiuns, we tmonld our selves anticipate r; ery dark future for our countrymen. But we confess we share no such apprehensions of etarnal political ruin, as those which seem to hauut tho waking dreems of our neighbor, the J)i.iatch. It is sadly true that the party now iu power at Washington, lias tra.npled iu the dust every tradition of the fathers, aud every principle of tho Constitution; and, in the preseuco of God and men, there is not nor can be, any justifica tion or palliation for the damning sins of omission anel commission which cling to its skirts, and "vill not emt." yet we are of those who believe that these w.-ougs, deep and grievous as they art cannot be long-lived, for "malice will buiu itself out," ajd at a better , t , m.j.iclule3 of Constitu- J tioaal Government, and liberty as our j fathers knew it, like Antaeus in tho ifablc, will rise brighter and sti onger from having touched the earth. The philosophic readt r of tho rt cords of past, as well as of modern nationali ties, has long since been ehseovered that history not only "repeats itself," but in the roll of centur.es often im proves and corrects itself. llow e.ften has every spark t' Eng lish liberty seemed t bo extinguished! Through what struggles have our an cestors passed in tho effort to establish upon a firm and lasting basis the prin eiples of constitutional government ! Tim marvelous revolution which Crom well led to grand success seemed to extinguish every hope of the gallant, chivalrous aud devoted cavaliers, who, however mistaken iu their theories of government, were loyal and true to their convictions of right. This revo lution, however, elid go backward, ami a coiiuter revolution still more mar velous, restored the government to the cavalier party, and the reaction was so great that the grand principles which the Commonwealth established were apparently extinguished forever. Events proved that the lovo of free government was not destroyed in the hearts of the people. This revolution went backward, anel the great revolu tion of 1GS8 placed English libert upon a sounder footing and her j eo ple upon a higher place tnau the hail ever occupied before. Every drop of blood shed in the wars of the Commonwealth, on either side, has proven to be more than of diamond worth to the Anglo-Saxon race. We are greatly mistaken when we think that m people have been so severe'y crushed as we have been. The iron has enteredasdeeplyiutotl esouls of many a brava peoph-, who have been cast down but not destroyed. We tHunot be persuaded that the same love of liberty which animated our fathers uuJr-r every d'scourngement has been oblitera'ed hy our ikfe.it. The liberties of n people have been re covered by firm adhere nce to princi ple, never by a whining surrender of nonest convictions. Had tho spirit of tnose to whom the world owes all that it iHissesses of free government been made ol in better nor firmer stuff than that of which our modern croakers and hopeless politicians are composed, England would still be under the des potism of the Stuarts, and 0 institu tional government would not exist even iu name. For us to despair is a reflection upon tiie very blood that courses our veins. When, from the days of tho great Al fked to the present, has any portion of our race been held for any length of timo in the bonds of oppre ssion? There is no recorded instance. Even when conquered, they have always so con ducted their affairs as in the end to come out even with their conquerer. With such a record as that of our an cestry, are wo worthy of our sires, if for a moment wj dare to doubt our restoration The people who inhabit this Union are not. of such material as South American Republics iro made. We may, both North and South, be called upon to pass through weary years of trial. Wicked men i'i power may trample upon States aud peole, but in the very bono ami blood and tissue of tho average American, there has growa a principle which finds ex pression in the burning words, "resist ance to tyrants is obelienee to God," which will assert itself stt the pf per time, either at the balUt-'-x or on the battle-field, as the oee i.-,on may de mand. Bloed wiil toll. P.ut w find as much encouragement for the future r when wo look to O'hcr pco.de, and consider the rapidity with wio.-li f,-o''-ernmental changes occur iu the-- days of progress. Truly the whetl of ier tune, for nations i.n 1 peop'e, as well as for individuals, is outiuuudy turu ing. No man e.iu prognostic.', e from tho condition of any people of to-day, what it may be ten years h nee. Ten years i go Prussia was a tl ird-el iss power. To-day the imperial o iglo of the Germanic - jiower waves from tho heights of Lorraine and Alsace to tho borders of Russia. Tea years ago France dictated terms to the powers of all Europe, and hei ruler won bril liant victories without elrawiug his sword. What is sho to-day ? What may she not again be in ten years to come? It is themadnes3 of folly, then, because of a present dark dispensation, for any people to surreneler to despair. Our grt;.i. aim should ever be to stick to principle cling to old landmarks the traditions of tho fathers, through every storm. It will prove tho politi cal salvation not only of Virgiuia or South Carolina, but of New Jersey and Maine, as well. We have a glorious destiny. Let us, by faith and endnr once, achieve it. We may, nny, we will, by this means hasten the day when this greatheritaga of ours, whose strand is chafed by Atlantic's waves, anel which hears Pacific's roar, will be inhabited by two hundred millions tf freemen speaking the language of Bhakspeare, Milton, Calhoun. Burke and Webster the noblest, tho freest, tho happiest peolo of the earth! C lI AIt T. Soisiiiniii Sew autl Aiublr. il li.ic been our pleasure to Bee and j'.iine thia wonderful chart, aud wo tll'e it as our opinion that it is one of tain be-st publications ever brougLt be foro the people' bringing as it does, a full history of the world before the eye upon astonishingly few pages. its plan is to present the history of the World by centuries, and also to bring the eye to the aui of the minel iu locating faces and events. The chart is to the study of history what maps are to the study of geography. Here the eye takes in at a glance tne con temporaneous events m the history of nations, and the mind is compelled to imbibo and retain the facts wnich are given bth to the eye aud the thought. Time is represented as a stream, flowing in a certain allotted space each century. Different contemporay na tions are represente 1 by different col ored streams flowing paralel; when a nation begins a stream begins; when one nation conquers another, the stream sweeps around, blots it out and moves on wider than before. The events are written down in the stream just where they took place, those more prominent in larger type, those less prominent in smaller type. In the same manner all tho principle characters and actors of the world's history their births, iloings aud t.mes of death, aro made to eand promi nently and forcibly beforo tha eye. Iu short it photographs tho histories of all countries, at once, t pon the mind, and in such a w ay that the impression is indelible. Proceeding the chart proper are chronological tables, shovfiug the principle events in the history of the principle couu tries of the modern world. They aro exceedingly full and accurate, giving an invaluable coni pend of iuiormation, clear and easy of access; and for references nothing equals it. Following tnjs all the principal inventions, di.-eqveries and improvements of the moeleru world are laid down in a manner brief yet ex plicit. Likewise a table showing the existence of pauperism and crime in the United States n 1S70. Also sta tistics of churches, according to tho census of 1S70, and many other valua ble tables iiiihspeuaihle in the comple tion of a work so jjrand. We have given only a brief descrip tion of this chart; and we feel that time and space have not allowed us to present it as its merits demand. We lay it eiowu as a firm belief, that its familiar ue in every household in the land will increase a thousand fold t io intelligence of the next generation in this important field.

This can be proven by three responsi ble witnessfi;." The above beats all the snake stories we have heard of or read about this season. - Ken ti tort uiitl Ni&nlii villa. The season at Beaufort has ended suddenly. A few cool days and nights have sent the pleasure-seeking crowd flying homeward, although they may be well assured that the hot weather is not over. As "one swallow does not make a summer," so one cold north wind does not bring winter, and this month of September is the best to spend ou the coast (if we except May) of the whole year. But it was not of Beaufort only we began to write. We were thiuking if our advieu had been taken last fall ami good boarding places established at Maiithvdle, how much more money wouid now have been in circulation in this city and the surrounding country. The average attendance at the At lantic Ilottl has been, say two hun dred guests, which, at an average ex pense of three doiiars ea.jh for ninety days, makes the nice little sum of (Sol, 000) fifty-four thousand dollars. Suppose aii tiie other houses had another one hundred guests and the sum is (81,000) eighty-one thousand dollars, add to this all outside expenses and we find that not less tl.au one hundred thousand (jollars has been l put in (iirculatiou there during the dull business season this summer.

There is a young woman in Marshall countv, Kansas, said to bo heire s to to an estate of 15, 000. 000 in England.

The young woman has reeeiveel a letter from au English lawyer, who asks her to come over aud take possession. And sho is going over, to the great grief of all tho marriageable young men of A Lumbermen's Convention met at Norfolk on the 3rd of September and formed themselves into tho "Yellow Pine Lumber Manufacturers' Associa i ion," electing J. L. Roper, Esq., of the firm of Baird, Roper & Co., of Norfolk, President, and R. J. Neely, Esq., of Portsmouth, and John Lamb, Esq., of Charles City county, Vice Presidents. They completed their organization by adopting a constitu tion and by-laws, all present promis ing to abide by the same. It is to be hoped that the conditions on which tins asaooiation is formed will result iu benefit to all tho members compos ing it. Few persons haye any coneL-p-tie of the amount of capital invested m lhis business. At tne meeting of t ie Convention ia July the mills tiu-n ri-presented showed a daily pro duction of 410,00d feet, and at the present time they show one of 750,000 feet the whole of this immense production being distributed through the States of Del aware, Maryland, Virginia, anel North Carolina. The reirson for the organiz ing of this association was to bring about an understanding &s to the amount of cijt timber that they should manufacture. Thus far, because of the ubsenoe of concentrated action, tho supply gotten out in the aboo named Wtates has been 100,000,000 feet in ezcess of tho demand, and the asso ciation has ndopted such measures as to reelnee the supply to the demand. It i 4 recommended that either tho saw ing of timber bo stopped, where that is practicable; or whare it is not, that the elaily prod net be reduced to such an extent as to lesseu the amount in market, that tho supply and demand shall be equal. Some such action as this of the association had become ab solutely necessary for the purpose of making the manufacture of lumber a paying business. For the Journn!. f lie Convcnticn Question. The duty of the public press is to lead and not to follow. To know what is truth, to pursue fearlessly the course of right, and to advocate boldly those measures which best contribute to the public good, even in the face of opposition and denunciation, are among its duties and responsibilities. But the time-serving policy of so many of our newspapers, whoso editors, in stead cf seeking to educate, elevate and lead the public mind, pander to its whims aud ignorances, fears and prejudices, :s a departure from that indepennencc, duty, and usefulness which true patriotism imposes upon every public journalist. The enviable distiction which the Wilmington Jouhxal has won for coming up to its duty in these respects explains the great usefulness it has at tained, and how it is that is so i astly receives of late so many honors and euconiums for its couase and ability on tho public questions of the day. Its bold and fearless course in the re cent campaign, its sledge hammer ar guments and overwhelming utter ances against the common enemy, not only received high compli ments all over our beloved Stato, but has won for it unfading laurels of renown in other States also. Cut the very distinction won in this noble work of patriotism but serves, as is always the case, to arouse feelings and efforts antagonistic to its influence. The above remarks aro suggested from an observation of the objections to the course of the Jotjknai on the important question of a State Conven tion to alter our Constitution. It piunges at once, ana with a manly spirit, as the champion and exponent of the people, into this reform meas ure, and draws its sword for the battle. Already the people are beginning to think and examine, and the more thev do so, the more general and stronger are they coming to its support. Agi tation will strengthen it as it always does e very desirable innovation and useful reform. Not a single objection lias yet been published against calling a convention which can stand the touchstone of truth, reason and logic, Our prostrate condition demands it, Ihc sentiments, as well as wants of all classes apd conditions call aloud for change ;u our organic laws. Our present Constitution is not the work of true North Caroiinias, but is of foreigu origin and growth, and under its operations our condition has been growing worse. We have not time to wait and iive iu poverty under tins spawn oi nome scallawags and Northern adventurers. It was framed under tho reigning influence of mili tary power, with the swords and bayo nets of the U united States Army in our midst as a terror to our prostrate peo ple. These people, who had no heart to vote for a Convention in those days while thus nnder the thraldom of this grinding military despotism, aro now becoming free, and they long for an opportunity to make for themselves a Constitution in place of the abomina ble one now governing us. Now is the time to strike for it, in spite of the cob-web sophistries and fallacious arguments of the editors and politi cians who oppose it. Timid men rarely favor innovations or advocate reform. Bold, manly spirits are those who have to do this sort of work, and they must expect more abuse than praise. Still, those who assumo that the people of orth Carolina are not ripe for a Convention reckon without their hosts. They do not know of what material our people are made. Cato. l"or the Journal. C.oixiM of C ounty Vri( inls. Jcssv. Editors: Tho anxiety among the tax payers anil leading citizens of New Uanover as regards the bonds to be offered next Monday from our newly elected county officials is more general aud profound than at any previous time relative to our county affairs. Oar people have just cause for this deep concern, from the fact that since the war they have been so often and so shamefully imposed upon aud out rageously oheateel by ignorant and corrupt men filling and seeking office. New Hanover, owing to our over whelming negro population, uneler the directum of the worst class of dema gogues, who are alien in sympathy ami interest with our substantial citi zens, nll'ords, as the record of Schenck and such men show, a fit theatre for the successful operations of their class. All that has been am is now necessary for their success is to preach and practice civil rights, social equality. "nd other doctrines aud practices the very opposite to whan our best citizens have taught these negroes by example and precept. As an evidence that these ufortunate dupes havo been I apt scholars, you have only.to examine ; tne records ot our Courts, j ids end peneitntianes, The fify and couniy is full, not oulv of anxiety, but of speculation us to whit our newly electad Board of Com missioners wiil do. Many are tlespon dent.and regard the outlook as gloomy. They regard the majority of its members as plastic clay in tho haiicls of the potter capable of bt iag conver ted into vessels of honor or dishonor, aud utterly incompetent, morally cr intellectpaiiy, to tne elemauds of the occasion . Some few are more hopeful, and in chaiity are inclined to hope that the couuty will not. suffV-r from straw bonds or o her dehiiquineies. This deponent eipre-sess jd opin ion but as an old resident of the county, having no axo to grind, hourly awaits devc dopmer ts. A healthy public sentiment, founded era a proper devotion to tho interests and safety of the couniy, expects and demands that the Board will no' take any bond un less amply secured by isiifie preip erty of iineloubtablo title, inside of the Statu. It will lie simply dis graceful for any citizen sneking au of f ce of trust, honor and profit to be unable to give a bond for its faithful perforiuaiic . gnnranteed by those liv ing am::.g us. Our County Board, during tha last four ; ais, whatever may be said of its politie::l completion, have shown great plnck iii sav-nr, as they Lave, our oonut irem anipwroek and ruin. This is sajing much, but not too much, m view of the plundering and pilfering disposition aud rapacious love of office and money of the greedy sharks so abundant in our county since tho war. Ou the question of bonds the. two last boards have been as sound and solid sts a dollar aud have exhibited no want of back-bone on this vital question. How is it with the new board? Of what sort of tim ber is it composed V Is it all flimsy and sappy, or is it largely enough com posed of good old solid heirl of oak, that can withstand any pressure or beating storm that may bo brought to bear. What say you members sap or ftcart ? Tho people will soon make up a verdict upon your conduct. We take occasion here, in concluding, to remark that not alone will public criti cisai at home be made upon the action of the County Board in this and other matters, but our Legislature, now soon to assemble, will doubtlessly be called upon to revise and amend exist ing laws bearing upon these important county matters. Among the proposi- tiona more imperatively demanding the attention of onr Legislature the necessity exists for making Justices of the Peace as well as County Commis sicn3rs bonded officers.

Xlie Uveitis Leading to tbc FcarSitl 'frageay Tito Negroes Declared to Have Coufessed Intended Itapiite, iHunlcr and ICobbcr-. Tho following statement relative to the Gibson county disorelers is con denseel from a three column article in the Memphis Appeal, of the 26th ult: Sinco last Saturday night great ex citement has existetl among the citi zens of Pickettsvilie, located on tho Louisville railroad, six miles north east of Humboldt and eighty-eight miles from this city. Indications are that the entire negro population of GibsonTcounty intended to inaugurate secret hostilities for tho purpose of murdering tho whites, who havo been very much alarmed for their personal safety, and are still fearful of future ill from ther ignorant yet malicious foes. For five weeks past thero had been an uneasy feeling in view of the threats of the negroes, and more than one rumor of rioting was spread about, though not generally believed. Last Saturday night about half-past eleven o'clock, whilo two young men named Monroe Morgan and James Warren were riding along the road, about three nii!o3 from tow n, they were fired upon by a crowd of thirty or forty negroes. The young men abandoned their horses, one of which was woundeel, and took to the woods. The negroes pursued, yelling and shooting. The young men managed to escape, and returned safely to town an hour after ward. Morgan and Warren gave their state ment of the unexpected assault, and their escape, anel added: We then re turned to town, and found several cit izens assembled, great excitement pre vailing, anel people constantly coming in to know the cause of the firing. We related the affair, and then sentinels were placed on duty to guard the town. The firiDg of tho lie nroes awoke the citizens of Gibson, who forthwith seiz ed their weapons and met together for the purpose of elefending themselves. as they suspect el the fact that the ne groes were attempting to nmreler tho white people. An informal meeting was held, and men sent in search of Morgan and Warren, wlio were believ ed to have been killed, this fear being made all the stronger by the fact that they were not founn until sometime after the shooting was hearel, though their hoi scs were caught by those, in search of the young men. judging it imprudent to pursue the r.cgrof-s, they returned to town, shortly Afterwards the missing young men caran in. After arranging necessary precautions ogiinst surprise, a parly of citizens, in command of an ofiieor of the law, proceeded to tho house of a negro named Ben. Walker, who was seen with a gnu the day previous. Another fact which made their fears all the stronger was that only on- negro was in town on Saturday afternoon, upon I wnicu eiays tnero usually were large numbers present. It was about three o'clock when the parly reached Walk- ri rncn iri,r.. ,,-;cr. i i captured a negro named Ben. Ballard. The prisoner being led a short dist- I nce, was asked to make a full conies- sion of tho shooting that night, the reason of the organization among the! negroes, its purpose and aims. This j being as follows: j Tho colored people met HAi-.vday night to organize temporarik., which S .-..v., .uu . ' - I'I .1.1 V. vi J ' I ' -11 I V I'.iJ' 111 was done bvelectin? Winslev K :irl;i-? Captain the object being to protect Col. Webb, colored, from feared Kit- I Klnx outrages, aud f ter that to return to kill a negro nam d B urell Butler, ; who had revealed their plans to the whites. Alter bring rmo 1 the white men that night, they disparsed and pre-eei-dcil home. Whilo sympathising with the negroee, Ballard preifessed lo have taken no nart iu the asassin-likc proceedings. He said that a few nights previous, Dan William . Tom Cooke, Jim Cooke, Bob Liove, Dick Shaw aud Nelson McGhce, tho latter being load- er, visited his housa and wanted him ! to go to a negro meeting, to bo held half a mile from town. MoGhee had! been to see him that morning before, j aud said the object of thir meedr;? I wan to devise a plan for tha arsassin ation of B'trreli Butler, the negro al luded to above: They were to give his wile a slight whipping, fuch of the thirty to bestow tivei.ty-five 1 ashes upon her bare back. He suys th.tt lie refusetl to attend tins meeting or to participate. Having obtained the above fact-;, the Iiirty at once proceeded to arrest Mc Gheo, tho ringleader, who was sur prised in bed shortly after daylight, and was made captive. After proceed ing a short distance the parly told Nelson it was no u.-e to deny his com plicity ia or knowledge of the attemp ted assassiuation and the intended out break among the negroes iu that county, their purpose bing to mur der. The prisoner then admitted his guilt, and said that the following ne groes were the head men and ringlead ers engaged in the attack the night before: Tom Shelton, George Greene, Steve Bryant, Bill Ivey, Bob Love, Dan William1, Dick Shaw, Jarret Bar row, Dug Jamison, Hays Peebles, Leon Jordan Charlie Scott, Needum McDinnie, Albert Rengan, George Hess, Bob Baden, Felix Lipscomb, George Hicks, Gus Cummings, George Green and Winslow Shields. In addi tion to these several other negroes, whose names he did not recollect, were engaged in the affair. They met and organized by - electing Winslow Sheilds captain for that night, with the understanding that Joshua Webb was to be elected colonel when the squad reached his house. He eaid they fixed on Morgan and Ywyca without halting them, and had no provocation except their enmity to ward the white people. The prisoner's statement corroborated that of tho other negro, anel they both were placed in a vacant house for eafo keeping. News of tho movement made by the negroes spread rapidly throughout the country, and tho excitement be came most intense, tho citizens being rrenerally alarmed and fearing the ' negl.OC3 WC1.0 organized. worst, as it then oeeamo Known that Men from all part;, of tho countrv flecked to Gibson, one party havinr" come from Milan. Tho excitement became all the more general and intense as it was rumored that tho negroes would likely attack tho town that night; accordingly, a meeting was held, Justice Gunter pre siding. The meeting selected Justice Parker to the command of the men. but this gentleman suggesteel the pro priety of assigning Maj. H. C. Burnett to the position, as he was the chief magistrate of the town. It was then resolved to uso all legal measures for tho arrest cf tho gitilty negroes and tho suppression of (ho riot. In order to accomplish this, the offi cers of the law summoneel a posse of citizens and proceeded to the country, where tiicy airestcd the fol lowing named negroes on the charge of shooting with intent to kill, etc. : Gcorgo Greene, Stcvo Bryant, Dan Williams, Bob Love, Dick Shaw, Dug Jamison, nays Tceblcs, Jarrett Bur rows, Alfred Williams and Nick Ivey, whom they conveycel to town and placed under strict guanl to await trial the day following. During tho night a party of masked men rode into town and elemaneled the surrender of the prisoners. This tho town marshal, J. A. Dungan, refused to do, stating that ho intended to pro cecel according to law, and have tho negroes tried by tho conrts. Despite the threats of tho mysterious horse men, tho officer maintained his high resolvo anel held tho prisoners safely guarded. After a whilo the masked men left without having effected tho relief of tho prisoners, who remained in a stone house, closely guardeel. No attempts were made to kill the impris oned negroes, and no other demand for their surrender was made that night. Next morning (Monday) an other meeting of citizens was held in tho college building for tho purpose of ascertaining what was tho public sentiment of the people upon tho sub ject of the negro outrage and tho probability of a riot among them. Justico Arch Jordan, who is Mayor of Milan, presided over the meeting, which, being called to order, adopted resolutions elepreenling lawlessness, and also resolved that in the suppres sion of the samo the citizens should be regulated by tho civil law and its authorities. Al ter tho adjournment of the meeting, which was largely attend eel, tho above-named negroes Were ar raigned beforo Justices Jordan, FI3 and Hunt upon tho charges above mentioncel, Justice Parker declining to sit, as ho had already formed an opinion. The negroes admitted their guilt, and that they intended to havo a gen eral riot. Ono of tho prisoners, Jar rett Burrow, turned State's evidence, anel releated a fearful story of tho cause, origin, purposes anel expecta tions of an extensive organization among the negroes rf Gibson county. The statement of this negro, as well as that of Nelsou McGhoe, was listeneel to with breathless anxiety, by over three hundred persons, who were crowded in the building, anxious to hear the evidence of the witnesses. Alter hearing the evidence the ne groes were bound over by the justices, and, iu default of required bail, placed under charge of Marshal Dungan, Con stables W. W. Senier and Spcnce El dridge, with a guard of forty or fifty men, to bo escorted to tho Trenton jail ten miles tlistaut. The negroes were kindly cared fer aud in no man ner maltreated while at Gibson, anel had a fair trial. Tho officers anel guard departed aL twenty minutes past four o'clock for Trent o;j, tho prisoners being heavily chaiir-d. During the; dny near four hr.ndri -1 c;liz;u from the country had flocked to tho town, but (heir aid iorluaateiv was not re quired, as the iiegro,.T. montration.
