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 ers must leave 'Alio oil aatorn-' I Play.reme few lines, hi ning's essav marks were but were rJfdsed?

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, " all.

' 1 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 phia directed: against the; blacks, is an exhibition of the spirit now existing; F ill the civil authorities be able o control it in the. case we have! anticipated 1 .
