The papers from the SoatL.m States con tinue to be filled with acc.-ants of reported insurrectionary increments anmng the De grees, nearly ail of wrtkb when sifted calmly hare thus far proved to L 2 without much foundation. TLe usual course pursued wher ever sucn rumors gain credit is to seize a number of negroes, an 1 either cang them under the excitement of iaw or whip them until a "confession'" is obtained,and this, although wrung from them while under a tor ture worthy of a Jesuit Inquisition, is set down as the whole truth and nothing bat the train. Of the character of these proceedings oor readers ..tan forra some estimate Ly tne following extract fr ra a ietter dated a: Pem broke. Kentucky. Its writer after detailing that be Lad risked Lafayette, where there was a reported insurrection, lu: which h found to be all false, then proceeds— "Thursday rr-smiug I went to Lover. and arrived there t*j o'clock. The people had hang four negroes at ek-ver: .'clock that morning, and two mere toes in turn to be hung. I get to toe place A execut.-.n h. time to see the :ast one gc .5.

One of the negroes at the forge died from whipping that night, several L,.r after the operation." What may be said of Kentucky is • liva ble to most r f the ©tLfr slave statee wh-.r scene# like the above are being enacted da?iv While there may been some engaged in a scheme for obtaining their liberty. as there always will be wherever .-Avery ei.tte, we have BO doubt there is a great deal of exag geration, arid a great d.-ai of uncalled Lr cruelty in the esnduc: cf the southern popu lace toward# the slates, in which mere icno c.n; than guilty suffer.
