Bossier Point, buta few miles distant from the ! conceived and nearly carried into execution. Bossier Point embraces a tract of country about fifteen miles square, bounded by Lake Bisteau on the one side and Red Shoot, a kind of bayou of the Red river, onthe other. ‘fhe white planters occupymg the district are few in number and of a superior class, comparatively wealthy in these impoverished times. Some of the older plantations have been rented to negroes on time, and the neighboring whites, with that friendly feeling towards their for- mer slaves which in regions unpolluted by the Yreedmen’s Bureau and carpet-baggery is always apparent, lent them muies and agricuitural tmp le- ments to helpthem along. One of the most pros- perous of these negro planters, an elderly man named Isaac Willams, who had some twenty otner negroes Working for him and was doing well, is the avowed instigator of the recent conspiracy. The precise incentives to the movement can only be iathomed in part. ‘The rest lies buried under the ob- scuritles of Voodooism and the savage and almost incomprehensible instinets of the African race. All tie HERALD correspondents wriling from the South during the preseut campaign have concurred upon one point—that the promises of forty acres of land each and @ mule, which unscrupulous carpet-bag- gers have sown broadcast among the colored voters, have taken deep root in the negro mind, and that the non-fulfilment of those promises has been the great lever which has turned thousands of radical uegrocs into democrats. Here les one motive of tue Bossier Point conspiracy. Add the unlimited credu- lity and excessive suspicion of the negro tempera- ment, their quickness to take alarm and to be scared without reason, and you have another element. In Claiborae parish a remark which an indiscreet de- inocrat made in the pimence of negroes, that they would whip hell out of the radicals next November, spread an assassination panic among the negroes over half & county. On the line of the Shreveport and Texas Raijrozd a human skeleton— of the effects of a dead physician—-which some stupid white nan hung up in the Woods, scared every negro la- ee ot or e je rack and put a stop to the construction of the road. ‘The negro rising at Bossier Point has been of gra- dual growth. It commenced with Loyal League jucetings, ike Williams, or ‘General Wliliams,” as his colored troops termed him, presiding. When the number of darkies attending these weekly meetings jnereased 1% began to be customary to place armed sentinels round tuecamp, and wilte men who passed along ihe road were in some instances arrested and quarantiuved till the meeting was over. Midaigut driiag was the next step, aud when one or two hundred negroes began to assembic for this purpose, armed with all kinds of weapons from the mnproved. Springteld musket down to rusty double barrelled pistols, razors and ciubs, the scanty wilte popula- tion becawe tairly alaruied. A uegro teacher (a nan just able to read) next appeared on the scene, and, ing to come from Generat Grant, directiag tae loyal under the direction of Wiliams, read orders, purport- groes of Louisiana to aru and driti aud be ready et under the orders of “ticneral” Williams. These tious were implicitly obeyed; week after week the asscmblayes of armed negroes in- wased, and at last & grand batiue and wp wetat were determined upon, A clean bweep Was to be nude of the white resideuts vssier Point—in the words of Wiluams, “from cradie to the grave’’—and the lands were to be aiviled among tio loyal blacks. At this crisis two of the wiite planters—Messrs. Marsha! and Faunt- Jeroy—started for Shreveport to implore the aid of the Uniied States troops. Captaim Faron, command- jog tie post, inforined Uieim tual he aad no power Ke action unless he received a requisttion froin civil authorities. That being furuished next jay Captain Faron set ont with a de(achinent of the ‘Twentieth infantry, the cicizens supplying teams ana ambulances in abundance for their transportation. Oa the road they met and arrested Wilharas, the Tingleader, who was coming iuto Stureveport to ob- tain a supply of arms aud aumanition, wien he asacris that one Ford, an ex-ayent of the Freeamen's bureau, had engaged to supply him with. Captain Faroa took Wilvutus along with hin, and though the scoundrel was kept under close guard he soue- how contrived to send word auead of him that ue had made it alt right with the troops and that they were going down to help him clean out these rebels. The consequence was that at half a dozen plantations on the route the negroes turned out aad accompanied Captain Fayon and Wiiliams in Gears procession and the troops had to threaten to ilre upoa tiem before they could drive them back to their cotton fields, Ou the Platt piantatiou, at Fillmore, 8 mulatto ser- vant rushed into tye house, where one white lady remained alone, and told her that the Yankee troops had joined Lke Williams and were going to killevery White person from the cradle upwards, The poor lady was frightened nearly to death. lcunwhile the Sheriff of Bussier had assembled the strongest posse he could get togetaer and had gone out to the rendezvous where the armed negroes were assemb!ing and captured some forty or fiity armed negroes; one or two whites attempting to escape are said to have been shot. Couriers were captured as far ag twenty or thirty miles distant, stummoni the negroes to assemble at the Point. in a few hours there would bave been over two hundred armed negroes gathered together. The prisoners were brougnt here to Bellevue and under- beard thy examination before two justices of he peace. B. J, Hamilton, one of the witnesses examined, stated that when he, with others of the posse acting under instructions from the Sheriff, came up wit the riotous pa any oan oe line he heard some one ot his party speak to this party under arms and inform them that the Sherif had a wai it for the apprehenston of certain parties and deat them vo remain in line until the Sheriff could come up and read the warrant, and execute the same if the par- tes therein named were in the crowd. When the notice of the warrant was given to them they con- sented to remain as they were until the Sheriff could come up; but they commenced making their escape. When this arimed party of freedmen were Orst ap- proached by the posse with the Sheriif, and th were ordered to ground arma, some of them obey: aud others refused to do so—some one of théir party instructing not to obey. Those freedmen wno did not ground their arms, onthe contrary coeked tieir eons, bringing them to the position of ready, When ey made ready Mr. Bright tola them to fire away, but if they did not one would be left alive in five minutes; whereupon, ander the advice of their com- rades, they grounded aris, put down their arms and eurrendered. About forty surrendered, may be more oriess. There were thirty guns of various descrip- tious, Saw caren Rae in the pile, two Coit’s and one horseman’s. The negroes said they had been warned to assemble there by Williams’ ruaners for a fight with the white folks. Albert Hayden, @ free negro, sworn, said that he was at Williams’ on Saturday evening, Angust 22, Isaac (Willams) was at howe; was there late. Dan Jones wold witness and others in-the hearing of Isaac that he wanted them to be at the schoolhouse at tea o'clock next day, at which time he expected the battle to commence, Told those who had arms to leave them.

Fines en American Steamers Remitted—A New Customs Regulation—The Casilda Vire— Coolio Anthropophagi, HAVANA, Sept. 12, 1868, T learn that the fines that were imposed on the steamers Liberty and Cuba, of the Baltimore line, for supposed violations of the Cuban Custom House regulations, have been virtually revoked. General Lersundi appears to have had a private consultation on the subject with an eminent lawyer, whose conclusion was in favor of the steamers. Had these fines never been inflicted it would have been still better. Tardy justice, however, is better than none at ail. By a royal decree, dated August §, the provisions of articles 88 and 129 of the Custom House regula- tions of Spain are extended to Cuba, Therefore, 1m- porters of merchandise will have to withdraw the goods from all goverument warehouses within one hundred days from the aate of their being stored; and in those places where no Warehouses exist they are to be wit hdrawn within six months from the charge of the government officers, All goods and merchan- dise not redeemed or withdrawn within the pre- scribed time will be considered as abandoned, and will fall to the possession of the government. In the intervals importers will be privileged to withdraw any portion of the goods, provided the same be not Jess than a bundle, cle or single article. There are a series of formalities embraced in the full compliance with all the requirements of the decree that no doubt shippers and importers will not fail to familiarize themselves with. Casilda, the shipping port of Trinidad, has been visited by another disastrous fire. On the night of the 6th inst. the warehouses of Don Salvador Zulueta were burned down, with all their contents, involv- ing @ loss in property, mostly produce, of over $300,000, The fire is sy he to have been the work of an incendiary. In Santiago de Ouba a fire that occurred on the ist inst. was less destructive. ‘The devouring element was subdued before it destroyed more than $12,000 worth of property. Further particulars have transpired of the case of antiropophagt mentioned in a previous letter as having been unearthed at Santiago. Investigations show that but one Chinaman was guilty of the child- oeene charge, and not many, a8 was at first sup- ‘The monster, as already stated, was appre- heuded, The affair at first created considerable ex- citement in Sant Exaggerated ‘‘raw-headed and bloody-boned” stories were soon in circula- tion, and, being eagerly believed, caused the poor Chinamen for a while to become objects of hatred and abhorrence. Many tnoffensiye ones were stoned and driven away from the streets, particularly by the negroes, who always snatch at an crronaaty to display their inborn dis- like and hostility to the Mongolian race, The au- thoriues very seusibly interfered and protected the Chinamen, and the truth becoming known the excite- ment disappeared. Failure of Zulueta—The Great Fire—Health Good. TRINIDAD DE CUBA, Sept. 8, 1868, The firm of Salvador Zulneta suspended its pay- ments on the Ist tust. Its Mabilities amount to six millions of dollars. Its assets have not yet been fairly estimated, On the 4th instant a large fire broke out in the su- gar house and cooperage store of the above named firm, supposed to be the act of an incendiary. The loss of property destroyed was at first calculated at only $150,000, but it is found to be much greater, as Don Satvador Zuiueta alone has lost about $300,000. ‘The fire engine of Messrs. Fritze & Co. did great service, 45 on previous occasions. The stores of Messrs, Schmidt & Co. escaped. They did not suffer any material damage, but it required great exertions to save them, The only arrival from the north was the brig C. 0. Wiilams, Tuompson, from Philadelphia. ‘The public health is satisfactory. = Redaced Stock of Sugar—Quotations of the StaplemA Now Casino. SAGUA LA GRANDE, Sept, 9, 1868, ‘The reduced stock of sugar being in second hands merchants here are sometimes unable to execute: orders for Havana and American accounts. Some vessels are known to be on the way to take cargoes, besides four or flve loading, which will further re- duce the stock, Two hundred hogsheads are in treaty for 734 rs, at the mouth of the river. This Week's salo will pass four hundred hogsheads. All the accounts from the United States representing molasses as selling with dimculty, no shipments are made and our stock is accumulating. Needy planters have great trouble in getting advances on their fu- ture crops.
