This insurreet'on, if we can properly call it by that erm, extended over Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, and other Southern States. We sey it extended over those States; but there was really no outbreak, no uprising, althongh the plot, as disclosed, showed a wide- spread conspiracy and designs of the most flendish cha- ‘The object of these plots was the forcible eman- ation of the slaves, and the way in which this was to ished was by the massacre of the white popu distinction of age or sex.

Martin, who was accused of being engaged in the game plot, Was seized aud brought 10 EI Dorado, where he was triet, convicted aad hung. The summary manner in which both Hancock aud Martin were disposed of defeated the designs of the couspirators. The greatest apprehension prevailed in Tennessee in regard to this so-called conspiracy, and the free negroes of Martreesboro were driven out of the town in consequence of their depredations on the property of the whites. In Nast- ille there was ap attempted insurrection by the blacks, no were incited to it by the negro preachers, who were most active in the work. It was, however, promptly met, and three of the preachers were executed at Dover. Threo other ringleaders were also executed, and what- ever epirit of rebellion may have been aronved by them was most effectually quelled by the promptness with which they and thei fellow lvaders were put out of the way. The most severe measures were resorted to to ex- tort aconfession from the negroes in regard to the de- signs of the conspirators, and some of them received as maby a8 five or six bundred lashes before they would ulge them. So severe, in fact, was the punishment # inflicted, that in one Case it resulted in the death of the untortunate slave. The confessions thus extorted showed that they in- tenced to rise on the night of Caristmas eve, and to murder the mouager of the furnace works and bis family. ‘The wife ot the manager was to be secured for a still worse fate, a8 she was to be handed over to one of the negroes nated Ishmael. This buteh- ery consummated, the town of Dover was to be attacked, and after the murder of « number of white persons the negroes were to seize the arms, amuunition, provisions and whatever else they could lay their hands’on, From this point Chey were to start out over the country, with the view of inciting others to join them, and making the insurrection general.

THE JOHN BROWN RAID. ‘The circumstances of this outbreak are so recent and 80 fresh in the mind of the public that it is only necessary to refer to the leading features. The affair was concocted by the abolitionists, and was, as our readers are aware, in the event of its success, designed for the liberation of the negro slaves. To accomplish this, the white inhabitants of Harper's Ferry were to be set upon, on Sunday night, the 1éth of October, and if they offered any resistance they were to be shot down by the insurgents. The ar- mory was then to be seized and to form the point at after taking possession of th veral of the iunabitants of the town, whom uers, stopped the railroad trains, cut graph wires, and impressed a numbe whom they armed with rifles. e shot for ref 0 operation that Br evident that bis ex how Brown a on th + {kote are familiar to it will be a tims be ¢ the terrible tr which was eoucted at Harper's Ferry will be effaced from the public mind. CONCLUSION. The public, after reading the foregoing historical ac. counts of negro insurrections, will be better qualified to judge of the results of @ negro insurrection in this coun- try.
