2 Rumor of Insurrection in Stanly's
District-
The people of Pitt county have been
much excited the past week with a rumor
of insurrection. Several negroes, suppos
ed to be engaged in concocting such
schemes, have boen arrested some pun
ished and turned loose, and others now in
prison.
It was recently heralded forth that Mr.
Stanly had been re-elected from the larg
est slave-holding district in the State.
Now it is heralded there is an insurrection
on foot there.
Mr. Stanly proclaimed on the stump in
his electioneering tour that Slavery was
an evil. Whether this insurrection is an
evidence of its being an evil, or the re
sult of proclaiming such doctrines, is a
question of fearful responsibility.
Abolition Meeting The Wilmington
Commercial gives the particulars of an ah-
olition meeting held in Guilford on Sat
urday 2nd inst., which seems rather a
strange incident to occur in the interior of
a slave State. It seems that it had been
reported that Crooks, concerning whom
considerable excitement has existed in
Guiliord heretofore, with his associate
Bacon, were to hold forth at a certain
place, which report brought together a
bout four hundred persons, one-third ol
whom were abolitionists. Both parties
were armed, prepared for the worst. A
company of the fanatics appeared on the
ground armed and eqnipt but were dis
banded at the order of Gen. Simpson.
The People's Press, in remarking upon
these proceedings says:
"Several gentlemen addressed the com
pany in opposition to the course the Abo
litionists are pursuing, and extracts were
read from the Annual Report of the aboli
tion Society of the North, in whith the
names of Crooks, McBi idc and Bacon ap
pear as emissaries sen!, out to
Virginia

near one hundred slaves in the above
named States, during the past year."
From the Raleigh Star.
Horrible Affair! The abolition incen
diary Bacon, weo has been disseminating
Ii is fiendish doctrine among the good peo
ple of Guilford and Randolph, it appears,
has influenced a party of negroes in Gray
son county, Va., to attempt to fight their
way to Ohio! The People's press gives
thc following account of thc attempt to
arrest the runaways:
"When the negroes were closely press
ed and refused to surrendet themselves,
they were fired upon, but without any
other effect than to enrage them. One
fellow, armed with a long, heavv sythe
blade, rushed on Mr. Samuel Bartlett,
(brother to the sheriff of Ashe) and at one
blow split, his head open, scattering the
brain in every direction; he died almost
immediately. Alfred Bartlett, a brother
of the deceased, had one hand nearly cut
off. Cjtus Wilcox, late of Jefferson, re
ceived a stab in the back of the neck,
but little hope of his recovery. John
Clemmons received a wound on the top
of his head, laying the skull bare for four
inches. Report says he is dead.
"The negroes effected their escape af
ter two or three of them had been knock
ed down. Two of them, it is said, have
been captured and lodged in jail."
Plank Roads.
We hear but little of latc uf the con.
templated Tarboro' and Hamilton Plank

ever, in reference to a Plank Road fro
MurfreesboiV to Hamilton, we ' find

inst. Col. U. Vaughan was cauea io me
Chair and Dr.. S. J. Wheeler was chosen
Secretary.
The object of the meeting was explain

Resolved, That the people of Mur

Bertie county, on the 2 lib September,
and the following gentlemen were deput

Plank Roads.
We find in the last Fayettcville Caro
linian an article on this subject, from
which we extract as follows:
We have now, in successful operation,
the Fayettcville & Western Road (for
near SO miles we learn.') the Southern
Plank Road from fayettcville to Lumber j
Bridge in Robeson county, (which is un-'
tier contract the entire distance, and beini
finished as fast as steam and water canj
saw the plank,) and the Fayettcville and)
Noithcm Road, which we hope will
reach Smilhficld in Johnston countv,
Clinton in Sampson, and Warsaw on the
Wilmington Railroad; also the Fayettc
ville and Centre Road will soon be in pro
gress of construction.
The increased value of the lands through
which the Fayettcville and Western Road
passes has twice repaid the cost of the
work. A like result has taken place on
the Southern Road, and the same will oc-i
cur on each of the other roads. Men in!
this count' who, two years since, would;
not have thought of making a subscription;
to any work of internal improvement, are'
now the first to put down their five hun
dred or a thousand dollars. The great
value of these roads st ire them in the
face, and every man whose lands arc with--in
reach of them is ready and willing to
conlri,jne h is reduced to an absolute
facl hl lhis counl lhat cvc nci;,bbor-
. ,
are nine trees can al-
a
most afford to build a rood.
What arc thc advantages of Plank
Roads? Why every farmer has, what he
never had before, a good road every day
in thc year. He can select his own time
for going to market. His farm is increas
ed in value the wear and tear of horses
and vehicles are decreased more than one
half he can haul the load of 4 horses
with two, and do it with more ease he
can superintend the sales of hi? own pro
duce, and the purchase of his own articles,
without intrusting it to others But the
thing is so manifest we will not enlarge.
Important from Cuba.
Advices from Havana to the 23rd of
August have been received at Savannah.)
t
Since the 13th, Gen. Lopez and his army!
had encountered the Spaniards in several i
contests, in all of which the latter had been !
i
defeated with very heavy loss. j
On the 1 7 lb, a battle occurred, in;
which Gen. Enna, commander-in-chief of ;
the Queen's forces, was killed, together
with a large number of officers and men.
Lopez is now marching upon Havana,
at the head of an army of 1,500 or 2,000
men, which is daily receiving large acces
sions from the surrounding countiy.
The Spanish troops are completely
cowed by the frequent reverses which
they have sustained.
Gen. Enna was buried with great pomp
in Havana, on the 20th.
The greatest excitement and consterna
tion prevailed in that city, as there were
only seven hundred of the troops there,
who could offer but a feeble resistance.
Exclusion of Negroes.- The people of
Indiana, by a majority of 20.000 have a?
dopted that clause of the Constitution1:;
which excludes free negroes from thai
State. This is.abolitionsyrnpathy for thc
colored raceIndiana being a free Stale,
filled with rank abolitionists wbo hve
thus manifested tfiei-lyer the colored
people. They woqldfplunderthcjowners
of slaves of their property, but will not
allow of the least inconvenience in provid
ing for the comfort or happiness of the
free negroes. They can soon raise money,
however, to provide for a stolen slave.
Wilmington Commercial.
From the Goldsboro' Republican,
(QSlaves, in large numbers, are escap
ing into the free States from the border
counties of Maryland and Virginia.
(jlThe first bale of new Cotton receiv
ed at Charleston, was sent from Augusta
on the 15th instant. It was sold at Sic.
(QJames Duggan, a soldier in the U.
S. army, was recently tried at Fort Co
lumbus for refusing to attend a Protestant
Church, he being a Roman Catholic, and
sentenced to fine and imprisonment. This
sentence was approved by Gen. Wool.
Mr. Conrad, the Secretary of War, has
addressed a note to Gen. Wool, informing
him, that every means of persuasion
should be employed to induce soldiers to
attend some church, but if they have con
scientious scruples about attending any
church, all compulsory measures violate
the rights of conscience and should be a
voided.
Travelling. There is considerable
travelling through Plymouth at this time.
The low fare, and excellent accommoda
tions of the Steamer Schultz, oilers great
inducements to the travelling community,
to pass through here The Schultz fre
quently have from one hundred and fifty
to two hundred passengers, many of
whom, are passing to and from Nag's
Head.
We understand that the enterprising
owners of the Schultz, contemplate hav
ing a daily line; it would not only he ad
vautagcous to the company, but would
greatly add to our nourishing little town.
A daily line of steamers, with such a gen
tlemanly supervisor as Mr. Keeling, will
certainly win the hearts of all travellers.
Let the stranger give this line one trial,
and he will make it his constant route.

Jl Sad Warning A young man of
this county, named Garden, died a few
days since, from the effect of an accident
on the day of the railroad celebration, the
11th ult. He was returning home from
this place, on that day, with a company
under the influence of liquor. The de
ceased and one of thejcompany had a time
or two run their horses along the public
road. Thc third race, it is said, was for
a quart of liquor, and while running down
a hill, poor. Garden's horse fell, dashing
the rider to the ground and fracturing his
skull. The accident happening a mile or
two from the Poor-house, he was taken
in there and nursed until his death. A
sad warning to the company with him
and all who are in the habit of "frolick

influence of that terrible foe to human
peace and life, "goodjiquor."

Rev. Dr. Landis, a Clergyman

reputation :
Sidnt.y, New Jersey, July 12,
Dr. A. H. Christie Dear Sir: You wish to kr.ow of ne
what has been thc result in my own case, of the application of
TWF. GALVANIC BELT AND NECKLACE. My wpl) is
follows :
For alout twet.ly years I "had been snfl'ering from Dppr
s-ia. Every year the symptoms became worse, nor could I
obtain permanent relief "from any course of medical treatment
whatever. About fourteen years since, in consequence of
frequent exposure to the weather, in the discharge oi n.y pas
toral duties, I became subject to a severe Chionic Rheuma
tism, which for year after year, caused me judeecril.):
anguish. Farther : in the winter of '45 and '46, in conse-iuence
of preaching a great deal in my own and various othj.r
churches in this region, I wras attacked by the Bronelntr.
which soon became so severe as to require an immediate sus
pension of my pastoral labors. My nervous sytttm ua- '
thoroughly prostrated, and as my Bronchitis became worse, so
also did my Dyspepsia and Rheumatic affection thus ey,ncJ?
that these disorders were connected with each other throngu
tke medium of the Nervous System. In the whole pliarmaco
po?ia there seemed to be no remedial agent wlucli four
reach and recuperate my Nervous System ; every tlimj mI J
had tried for this purpose had completely failed. At . last i
was led by my friends to examine your inventions, and (tnougn
with no very sanguine hepes of their cfliciency.) I 'l1?".1!.
