It was very soon ascertained, in the progress of the examination wlucli en sued, that two individuals, by name Cotton and Saunders, both of them steam doctors by professipnl..wei:e promiiienllyonccrnetl in this nefa- rttvus scheme.', lioth these individuals were immediately apprehended.

It seems from Cotton's confession, w hich waa, as to the most es sential particulars reduced to writing trevious to his death, and subscribed by im ifl'presenCe of numerou witnesses, that he was an accomplice of the celebra ted Muhhkl; and he in fact scknoW letljicd that he" had been a member of two grand councils in association with Alurrel himsell.- 1 he project embra ced thtS whole slave region'from Msry lantl . to Louisiana, and contemplated the total .destruction .of .the white rmpu' nation oi : att ine-aiave xaies, and the. absolute conquest and dominion of the country. . - A large numb.r of bold, en- terprtsing; antl Unprincipled' white men are concerned in the i scheme, acatteretl - over tlieCountrT.'ilbnff the whole line of contemplated" operationsq whr.; n: tsocceetied "m engaging file aid of such among the negro population as. from their peculiar charateristics; i were regarded as best suited to such j an enterprise -tin bold, the iagathu$i' Ihe dtipernte, zr-Armt, and ammunition have been procured,- and deposited in , various -aecrct places, and all-other arrangements ''cft'ected' which" were i deemed essential to the adoption of incipient operations. f The publication of :; the urrel pamphlet is understood to have precipi tated -the-attempted execution of the plot, and to have induced earlier hos tile - movements, by several months, than "was originally contemplated, So far as we have been informed, the scheme of operations agreed on was as follows: On the night of the fourth of July, an attack was to be made up on thetown of Vernon ; in Madison county, at tira when roosUofits whits population would be asleep. The whites, thus taken by surprise, were to be indiscriminately butchered. Alt the ammunition and arms of the town were to be seized, and the whole force of the insurgents, as rapidly as possible, was to be directed ajainst the town uf Livingston, where similar proceedings bad.
