'Searcely "itad we 'reachéd® thé 'limits of Tennessee, or the "mouth of Cumberland river, than the ex- _ CHIN g | intelliger cé was received, that (to use their own, words) the " Niggers were all rising 2 ll through Tennessee aod Southern Kentucky ;" and also, that they had "hang- ed-several Niggers and lynehed two or three White men found implicated in the Infernal!

To give a concise "narrative of this affair, L need. ouly say, that. the scene was alter- nately quite divirting and revolting in the extreme. "It was divirting to me indeed for one time in my life to have have the most extreme pleasure of beholding the natura! and inevitable result of American Slav very, poured out with allits violence and misery upon the heads of the oppressors. White men were seen standing as if afraid to turn either way for fear, that they might behold the approaching Negroes!

While we were laying to at the place, a messenger arrived in from the country and assured the people that the 500 Negro re- port was all a hoax; and exhorted them to rest on their arms, that there was no immi- nent danger. ~Some cimid gentlemen, how- ever, not altorether satished with the mes- senger's assurance, thought it the safer plan to put their wives and children on -board, and Jet them make good their e cape Frobi 'the clutehes of chal own Slaves, their own "ooods and chattels" so-called. And in jus- tice to some of the chivalrous gentlemen too, I must add, that wken the boat shoved oul' and was fair underweigh they were found among the missing of the tow also. | The question naturally arises pow te the enquiring listeners' mind, how was the secret revealed? Ap to wich enquiry I will reply briefly, althous wn well authenticat- ed P presumzs, 5 rom "the best and. most reli ble information [ could vet, It might be sPued up as follows: It appears On the | facts as stated that there was a regular or Sanzed Pony ot Negroes with waiicr nren at | their head. And that each and every mem- ber each new member that was initiated Into ihe order, must of course take a similar oath to maintain secrecy and keep a, tongue of good report. So 't happened .on one. oc- ae yn, liidiation, and after being informed of the '} object of the as ociation, positively refused tutake the oath of secrecy, and with. stern- ness rebuked the order. For which un- muuliness he was justly brought up before jadge "Lynch" (ifsuch was the fact really) and scourged severely. But I. must add, that In such a case, haveing (if -possible) would hive been too humane for such an abandoned and treacherous a wreteh!" tu the subject as "T received it. <Ehis- man afier refusing to take the oath of secreey, ty bis the éreitorous villain out of revenge Order to the Whites Nov the news ls: soit adr vl possible speed throughout the country, that a "Deep daid Plot" of lasurrectton was be- ing executed among the Negroes, and. that it was nearly perfected. This. very exciting intelligence Wei ing hurled forth, caused great alarm amoung the whites for their own Safe- ty; and inquiry and search was soon insti- tuted to learn and find further 'facts and iaatertis of Insurrectionary character, and laceration and death followed! The series of cruelties that [ had the opportunity. of witnessing, commenced at the Cumberland Rolling Mills, about eivht miles above Dover ou ae river. Here as atother Iron Works { found business~ all suspended.

And that was the case of a poor old time-worn, cowhide stricken Negro man, who esald not have been the son and subject of less than sixty-five or seventy summers. This aged old Negro was Drought forth about the contemplated Negro- Lasuitestion: He was made to re- ceive the almost incredible sum of t2go hisn- dred and thirty lashes with the fortitude of a man, and with the determination of a tried and worthy friend upon the Watch Towers of the Balwarks of Human Liser- Ty! bat at last, however, when the cursed goad became too intolerable for humanity to bear, he recollected that although this world was and always had been a eid of con- tinual woe and misery to him! he yielded to the demands of human nature, and it pains me to record, that he confessed or rather told some story to release him from present death... But O!
