NORTH CAROLINA SENTINEL, AND NE W.BERN COMMERCIAL, AGRICULTURAL AND LITERABY INTELLIGENCER. '4 'the CONSTITUTION-- THE SENTInSIi. ( NEWBERJ VEDXEDAY, SKPTEMBER 21, 1831. In our last we issued a postscript announcing an, 1 insurrection among the slaves in the neighbouring counties, and that several murders had been commit '", We have since had direct communication with those counties, and we are happy to be able to state Hat the latter part of the report was utterly false. whites have been injured. The' plans of the ne r oeshad not been sufficiently matured to proceed to thjShorrid catastrophe which they contemplated ; but that plans existed, deep,' dangerous and extensive, cannot be doubted. ! v' Owing to some cause, of which we are not yet well informed, a free mulatto man made the disclosure to Mr. Usher of South Washington, New Hanover County. He stated that Dave, a slave belonging to 'the sheriff of Sampson, had informed ; him that the negroes in Sampson, jpuplin and New Hanover were prepared o rise on the 4th of October, and had .en deavoured to persuade him to join them. On this information Dave was apprehended. He made a .full confession of his guilt, and gave the names of Ifourof the principal rmgleafiers, and mentioned some families that thev had determined to murder. Their i 1 ' plan, according to Dave's statement, was, that they were, to march for Wilmington by ,two routes, de stroying and murdering as they advanced. There they were to be joined by 2000 others, already orga nized, to seize all the arms and ammunition, and af ter having spread desolation, and murder over that neighbourhood they were to return to the country, augmenting their forces, and showing no mercy to those vh4 should fall in their way. The negroes whom Dave implicated were taken up, and when convinced that their plot had been discovered, they roadea sirriilar confession. They were then lodged in jail to await the legal punishment due to their crimes. , Scon after they had been thus disposed of, a report reached the embodied citizens that 1500 of t,he 'rebels were advancing on their position. Be lieving the alarm, arid unwilling that tie instigators of the conspiracy should have the slightest chance of escape j Dave and Jim, the jmost daring -among them, were brought! forth and shot. The : citizens then placed a guard over the other prisoners and put themselves in order to chastise the wretches who were j supposedito be approaching. Parties were sent to reconnoitre, but as nothing appeared to confirm the report, a sufficient force was left to ensure safety, and the rest returned to their homes. In Sampson County the excitement was equally rrcat. T wentv-fiyc negroes were taken up. It is ""stated in a communication which was sent from the citizens to the Governor, that therefwas sufficient tes timony to implicate nearly all the negroes in that County. Foremost in. the plot was a negro preacher named David, who was clearly convicted on the evi dence of one of. the conspirators.- So exasperated were .the people by the disclosures made on his. exa mination that they were with difficulty restrained frbm shooting the coundrel while on his way to prison. . v , Despatches were sent off, as we stated in, our last, to advise us of the dcinger existing in those Counties, whiljthe reporters were under the excitement pro duced by the first accounts. These were conse- quently incorrect; but coming from sources to which we attached all credit, we received them as authentic and aetcd accordingly Six hours atter the arrival f-f the express upwards of two hundred men were ecyipped and ready for action. A volunteer com pany of, mounted guards patrolled all the roads lead ing to the town, and well-armed sentinels were posted at every exposed point. The night passed j however, without further alarm. On the following day the ut most anxiety was felt for news from the disturbed Counties, and many of our citizens held themselves in readiness to march to their assistance. A desire of revenge manifested itself on all hands; and, we believe that many amongst us felt disappointment, rathrr than gratification, when, information reached iis, about 12 o'clock, that , the insurrection had been prevented by the timely disclosures mentioned above, This feeling should create no surprize when we coh- eider the-j Southampton tragedy and the intention tt'hich the recent trials in our own neighbourhood Had brought to light. Two much praise cannot be given to Geh. Pasteur ior. tns promptness and energy. His judicious ar rangements to meet the emergency called forth ge- neral approbation. Captain Burgwyn of the Militia, aruiLaptain Stevenson of the Newbern Grays are not less deserving of the gratitude of their fellow-citi zens. Indeed one spirit seemed to -actuate all classes, ueiore we close our remarks we would earnestly. recommend to our readers the necessity of unrelaxing e do not apprehend any im .mcdiatc .attempts, v have not the slightest doubt mat insurrection is intended.

On the 22d of August, the operation of Tracheo tomy or Bronchotomy was performed by Dr. S. A. Andrews of Waynesborough, on a child of three ' i . ' mi l years old, with complete success, a ikj cnuu s wal lowed a water melon seed which passed into the windpipe. It had remained there about 48 hours, and the child was reduced to the brink of the grave. On opening the Trachea, the seed was ejected through the wound a distance of two or three feet. No blood was lost, and in 15 minutes the child was able to sit up and speak. The wound healed readily, and will not leave a bad scar. FOR THE SENTINEL. An individual whd has not only himself been sub ject to the imposition, but who has heard repeated complaints upon the subject, would respectfully en quire, whether the custom of carrying slaves in e U. S. Mail Stage, is not a violation of the spirit of the contract, which is al ways made with the General Post Office ? Beyond the mere insult which is offered to a gentleman, by giving him a seat, in a public coach, with twTo or more desperate fellows, does not the contractor subject himself to the loss-of the en gagement for carrying the mail, and for which he is well paid? If the writer is correct in his memory no slave is allowed to drive a mail stage ; and for the l . simple reason, that he cannot be regarded as trust worthy. Is not, however, the portmanteau in far more danger, when accessible to one or more wretches who having been sold, and being about to be taken to some of the towns on the coastware prepared to make any attempt, however desperate, to secure themselves freedom; and whd, through ignorance, might imagine. that if they possessed the mail-bag, they would have the means of procuring it ? ; An answer is requested in the Sentinel, because the subject is one, to which attention has been drawn by recent circumstances; and which, if repeated, must be represented to the proper Department in Washington. A TRAVELLER. nuit-ine law is explicit on the subject of the person who conveys the fljail. No other than a free white person shall be em ployed for that purpose. With regard to the other subject of com plain i, mere is oi course no law, uui we consider it nigniy impro- per in Contractors to permit negroes to travel in the Stage. Ed. ELECTION RETURNS. Hyde.

We understand that despatches were received by the Governor on Friday last, stating that nine addi tional convictions had been made by the Court of Southampton four.of the convicted had been recom mended for reprieve, three of them being boys of 14 or 15 years ol age, and it appeared Irom the evidence, that they had been forced to join the banditti. The other Jtve are to be hung to day. .No accounts have been repeived by the Governor since Friday night. r f rom the ivorjolk tfeacon. A friend has politely furnished us with the follow ing extract of a letter, received yesterday from Suf folk dated 7th inst: b " I have just returned from Jerusalem. Seventeen of the insurgents had been tried up to Monday even ing, and lb out ol the number condemned to be hang ed. Two were hung at 12 o'clock on Monday. Fri day this day is appointed as the lime for the execu tion of several others. The only one going at large is the ringleader, Nat. All are at a loss to know where he has escaped to." f MERIT REWARDED ! Extract of a letter fromWashington, 8th Sept. " Com. Elliot, who has just left my room, informs me of a little incident at which I am much gratified. He went to see the President this morning, and gave him a minute account cf some incidents connected with the heart-rending scenes in Southampton : and among others, of the conduct of the aged Dr. Blunt and his little party, on hearing of the approach of the inhuman monsters who were coming to destroy them. The President was so much pleased with the account the Commodore gave him of the gallant conduct of the oy, (the son of the Doctor,) that he ordered a Midshipman's Warrant to be made out for him forth with, and that he should be placed under the Commo dore's command ; under whose attention and! care I have no doubtshe will be made worthy of the coun try that gave1 him birth and of the parents he so bravely defended. Such incidents have a fine effect upon the youths of our country; and, when properly noticed they w ill maken nation of heroes. Elliot is a fine fellow : the good feeling he manifested by his prompt movement in defence of Southampton, has endeared him still more to me, as I am sure it will to every true-hearted Virginian." j Baltimore, Sept. 12. DESTRUCTIVE HURRICANE AT AUX CAYES, JAC MEL, JEREMIE AND ST. JAGO DE CUBA. . i The schooner Cicero, Watts, arrived here yester day from Port-au-Prince, whence she sailed on 30th August. From the report of captain Watts, and a passenger in the Cicero, we learn that on the night o the 12th and morning of the 13th August, a vio lent hurricane passed over the town of Aux Cayes and nearly destroyed it, leaving only eight houses standing. The loss of lives was immense, supposed to be not less than eight hundr d to one thousand ; the bodies of seven hundred persons were found after the storm had! subsided. The vessels in the harbour were all destroyed: the brig Calloa, and schooner Pomona, both; loaded tor tJoston, were wrecxea, tne captain, mate and two seamen of the brig saved; the entire crew of the schooner perished. . The town of Jeremie was almost in ru nly ten or twelve housed standing.

The editor of the Frederick town " Herald" has received a letter from a friend. dated St. Louis Mo. Aug. 28, which gives the follow ing account of a murderous duel between Mr. Spencer rettis, lately elected a representative in Congress from Missouri and Maior Biddleol the U. S. Army, which resulted in the death of both of the combatants. St. Louis, Aug. 28, 1831 " I perceive in your last paper that you advert to a personal chastisement inflicted by Maior Thomas Biddle on Mr. Spencer Pettis, our lately re-elected representative in congress. You were inaccurate however, when you stated that they both belong to the same political party. Major B. is opposed to the Jackson administration and was the author of an an onymous communication which appeared in the St Louis " Times," some two or three months ago, com menting very severely upon the political course, ca pacity, &c. ot Mr. P. which produced a newspaper war between the parties. The last communication in the public prints, from Mr. Pettis was of a nature so highly offensive to Major Biddle that he inflicted up on Mr. Pettis a severe oersonal chastisement a few uaya ueioie uui taie eiecuuu. mi. r. uy iuc auVt of friends, as I understand, took no measures to obtain rearess until auer tne election, out soon.aHer mat oi onr couniry, and we verily believe it will spread through event which resulted in favour of Mr. Pettis, he dial- out the wide extent of our Republic, as it has through lengedthe Major and on Friday afternoon last, the affair was finally terminated on the Island, opposite the upper part of this city.

Board of health We understand that the Board of Health held a special meeting on Tuesday morn in e at which the subject of the Cholera Morbus at Dresent ra ging ii the North of Europe, was ably discussed. Among other measures in the case. Drs. Hosack. Stevens, and M'Neven were appointed a committee to open a corres pondence; with medical gentlemen in Europe, or else where, for the purpose of receiving all the information possible on the nature, symptoms, and cure of the Cho lera. The Board of Health resolved, that all vessels arriving from any port of Europe, infected, or supposed to be in fected, shall be discharged at the Quarantine, iron in bars only excepted. That all vessels arriving off this port wjth the Cholera on board, shall not be boarded by the pilots, but by thera shall be guided into safe anchor age at the Horse Shoe. e The Board of Health consists of the Mayor and Alder man, with the Medical gentlemen appointedJby them. For the course which the Board have pursued in this matter they deserve unqualified praise no means should ht left untried to prevent the introduction of this terrible scourge to our country. Let not the proper officers in the other sea-ports of the Union be inactive let them adopt efficient measures, as we have done for what avails all our caution, if the subject is neglected in other ports t Ld the Cholera once get a footing in any part Asia and part of Europe. It is more than two months ago since we called special notice to this subject since e expressed our fear of danger, and when at that time, be.ng the first journal which touched upon the subject, our observations were by many deemed chimerical bnt , ,J J. . w . . every succeeaing nay s experience nas convinced us e and more of tne :u8tne of the cautiou which we tnen ffave We would certainlv be the last to throw iinnprocearv obstacles in the way of Commerce to subject our enter- prising mercnants to tne expense ana delay attending a igorpus quarantine unless the circumstances the cse imperatively demanded it at presen believe there is not a merchant in our Jwt?u"naot rather suffer all the mconvenien of a Quarantine than end the heakh and sp'eritv of the whole country, n we uoard cf Health have done well- and we tr,,. their measures will be followed by similar step ever POTI OI tne union. CIRCULAR. The following Circular has been transmitted, by the Mayor, to the authorities of various ports on the coast. Sir, In consequence of the great excitement which prevails in this city, lest the Cholera Morbus should be in troduced, the authorities have determined to subject all vessels from infected or suspected oorts. and their canroes. to the most rigid Quarantine. The object of this communication is to request informa tion in relation to measures (if any) which have been, or may be adopted, by the authorities of your city to prevent the introduction of this dreadful disease; and thus by promoting a good understanding between the neighboring commercial cities and towns relative to this subject, to establish a general system calculated to prevent the intro duction of this awful scourge into this happy country. It is proper to inform yon that although in-all .their de tails our Quarantine regulations in respect of this, to us, new disease are not perfected, it is intended to subject ail persons and property arriving in Ihb port from intectea places to the most rigorous ordeal. ,T 5 WALTER BOWNE, Mayor. New York, Sept. 10th, 1831. The above circular shows that our authorities are de tertained to leave no means untried to prevent the intro duction of a terrible epidemic, to c countrj and we trust that the toeasures of our authorities will be followed up at every port of the Union. - Upwardsof a million of dollars were paid to the Custom boose, N.
