More news from Madisoii. Hinds and Warreri A
s gentleman from above brings us the following news. -While
at Spring Hill; on the 6th, from 15 top gen
tlemen rode up . from Madison county. They stated
that they had hung at Livingston, several negroes and .
white men, Cotton and Saunders, both steam doctors, ;
and occasionally .preachers.They .j had obtained
from Cotton, a list of about fifty white men,- who
were concerned in the conspiracy toj excite-the' ne
groes to rebellion, fourteen of whom they had caught,
and had them u chains at Vernon and Livingston.
They had but a few. minutes! previous caught another,
named Rawson, and said they were near four others
that, they meant to have hefpre morning', The next
morning our informant went to Squire Sharkey's,
where a' number had assembled.- Squire - S. said that
the Madison men should not take the. prisoners out
of the- country a disagreement wag tbe( result, and
they were discharged. The same company caught
and confined a man named Blackman.
Having reached Vicksburg, ourinformant inquired
the particulars respecting the affair there, and was in-
formed that that city had been a rendezvous for gam
j.blers', murderers and swindlers, who had hitherto bid
defiance to the law, and decent citizens! Since the
alarm of an intended insurrection, well grounded sus
picion has rested on many white men, as instigators
and originators of the plot, and the gamblers, itiner
ant preachers, steam doctors and clock pedlars, were
generally considered the guilty leaders. Some of the
negroes, when first' apprehended, implicated them,
and the two while men. hung at Livingston made si.
milar confessions. The citizens of Vick'sburg formed
an anti-gambling society on the 4th, and at night
next morning

SOUTHERN MEETING IN NEW-YORK.
A number of Southern gentlemen now in thb city,
have given notice of a public meeting to be held
hereon the 20th inst:,' to take into con.ideration the
alarming subject now being5 agitated the doctrines
disseminated, and the measures adopted by some of
their fellow-citizens of. the non-slave-holding States
avowing a solemn determination to effect an imme
diate and unconditional emancipation of the. Slaves
"of the South. We invoke this meeting, say. the
gentlemen, not to. exasperate not to increase the'
alarmingxcitement now prevalent ; but we do it to
disabuse ourselves of gross misrepresentations; to heal
up dissension ; to allay sectional prejudices ; tore
invigorate the tie which binds us together in one
common family ; and to avert the alarming conse
quences which must' inevitably follow any attempt,
by the people of the non-slave-holding Stales, to in
terfere with the slave population of the South.'
' -- ; .-' j JV. y. Jour, of ComT
What has produced this meeting in NewVYork I
Why is it, that while the people of the South are
sunk in such apathy in regard to this subject, that
Southern xnen in New York feel it an imperative du
ty to call to assemble and make public their senti
ments in relation to it The reason is simply this :M
they are at tbe scene of action. Tbey see how
things are going on. . Whatever might have been
their opinion while at the South ; however they
might have slighted Jhe warnings given them by
ome parser friendly to the Sonth ; and however
they might have trusted to the false, treacherous rep
resentatidas of other papers, they see and feel the
truth whi.1 they are on the theatre of action. They
go to the North, and they find the people divided into
two factions-Abolition &, Colonization. Each has its
adrocates ; and each draws the people Ko its side, by
representing that theirs is the best plan for emancipa
tinthe slaves. It. is to the impressions thus made,
that we are to attribute the movements of these citi
zens pf the South now in New York.
The people at the South are deceived. They are
told tnere is no clanger. The sy ren song that all is
safe, is sung in jtbeir ears by the Abolitionist of the
Richmond Enquirer, and some of his treacherous co4 .
adjutors and hcy 1 think that there is no danger,

tc uu iijuv uicttu io ue unaersiooo as expressing
the opinion that the Abolitionists will! or can succeed
in emancipating the slaves of tljfe South. Tbey will
attempt it. Their attempts will j probably pro
duce a dissolution of the Union. Tfa"at dissolution,
will be followed by the North throwiug open their
whole courtry to the admission of the fugitive slaves
of the Souih. The South, in turnr,vwillthow off the
whole of tleir refuse population. The worthless, the
idle, and tie, profligate, will seek' a: happy refuge in
the,. Canaan of the Northerri cities there to come in
to open competition with , their white brethren, the
free labor lemocracy( of the free Slates ! And what
w ill be the result of that ?i Curses oh their own ir
norance and fanaticism, that produced such results.
.Reflect fpra mgraent on the spirit already showing
itself among the laboring classes bf the North. Look
at the jealousy aJreadyxhibited by the wAt7e labor"
ers of Philadelphia,- against -ikelrblaelc and yellow
brethren. jWhat will it be when three" or four hun
dred thousand more, of these black woringmen are
thrown into the great cities ; taking tho xbread out of
.their mouths', during Iht- summer, said supported by
them during the winter ? i-The lata riots in Philadel

the spirit now existing; F ill the civil authorities be
able o control it in the. case we have! anticipated 1 .
