THE REPORTED NEGRO INSURREC
TIONS.
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. Of toe s.x that
were bung, tare- were preachers. Tnev
were ail proved to ringleaders. I itarr.e".
that the men a: u:e f.rge w-re at work vh. -
f/*e truth ut of m-;r negroes, sc I roie
out there that night, and wa- u: wit;, then.
jy. J flergr bad such feeling* in iar
life. I saw a list tnat fc&d r. J
whipped, ar.i was told what t.v.v all T.d
stated, and then I heard the balar ce exam :.-
ec—some taking five art six hundred iaar.es.
before they woe, i ttll thetaie; but risen thev
did te:'. it, it wa* the same *bat ail the others
had to,i. rae t-.-id uie wrioie # tor v without
taking a Let. Th>se th,.t were examines!
were c/. permitted to tee ti.ose that were 1
they were kept era resy separate, a- , a guard
oTer ea.n. 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.

A correspondent of the Bulletin thus die

I have ut returned from gt *:lt to this
great Semi-uiturnh -at U >al Region, and have
been both surprised ar. ; gratified at tie great
change in the aspect *f things there within
the past year: the Railroad Compav, be-idea
f.n.shing up tueir main track, putting in sid

have aisa finished eight miles of branch r.ad
up Sheup's Kuo, marly five of which runs
through the c .1 fie.: .- re ca.. a.- openings
made along this brancdi suffici'.at i> ship a
million of t>ns annually.
At Ifjpeweh, the vein# of Iron Ore and

the Hopewell Coai and Ir.>n Com pan v, and
the improvements at th.# place within the

and it was not alone the improvements on the

that astonished rae, f>r I found on the Moun

Our State, which has !*:en erected during the
last year by the Broad Top Improvement

it would be agreeable to him to have Forney

it would be agreeable to Forney also.

Wox\N > ll.os'rs.—l.uey Stone, the well
known lecturer on Woman's Rights, deliver
ed a course in the T. wn Hall last week, dur
ing which she disabused tlx many
who had looked upon her very name with
prejudice. She is evidently an accomplished
woman, wiih easy and refined manners, cre
ating a fav rable impression wherever she
made acquaintances, llerview- may be best
underst.-od by the following synopsis of one
of her lectures:
"The State of Matrimony, the lady said,
was zocrrei ly bogus laws and bogus kg.s
lat.eo. just as u.e state o( Kansas was. In
the f-rtner state women were classed in tbe
sitae catrc ry w.ti. mir.-. rs and idk-u. They
Lave n:t ti.e right to make a contract: taey
•■•a:.:..: c.utr Ith ir earnings: n. r have
they even tbr right to ciaira their o*R chil
dren. This was mere than tbe Border Iluf
fiars from bad attempted to put
cp-on tbe Free bt*i men in Kansas. Even
taking the most liberal view ©f it: ©Ten sup
c-.sing that cu-t re
bar. is ali the cares and anxietle# of the >:ate
cf Matrimony, and relieved tbe wife of care,
t ani resp-.asioility. its inSueoee woulo
only be to cru-i. and demean women. Tbe
latter do no; icsire a cage even if its bars are
g:i led.
" The bogus law? of the State of Matri
mony Cj n >; eves rec-gnize a wife's legal ex
isxence. It eonse-puentiy cataraiiy follows
that she has no other existence, and that she
beeorae= a mere nobody. A w.man ev-.-n
1 -es Ler name: she take* riie natne of her
lord uni master and becomes merged in*: his
property. Like a slave she take# the name
of tbe man she belongs to. The Pave i- Mr
Douglas ani he becomes Cuff-re Deugias; if
be is Mr. Brooks' he becomes Coffee Brc-OiS.
and gets cuffed ail the same.
"Woman, Mr*. Since contended, was a
subject not a peer: she must puy taxes, but
she ah not vate: she shall be tried, but net
by her pers: "She is not our equal.*' is the
cry f men everywhere. If tbe positi n f
"f. r.gi were to be changed. h* w men would
rail; if men hit : ■ ask their wives for m< ney

friends, what a clam- r wool i be* rai-ei.

companying application. The In vigors tor will
cure Sick Headache. Take one or two tea
*poonsful at each attack and it will scon disap

food rises or sours, take the Invigorator after
eating, and it will not prove disagreeable or od
pres-ive. For Heartburn, Palpitation, or Diffi
cult Breathing, take a teaspoonful once or twice
daily. For loss of Appetite, Languor or List
lessness, the medicine is invaluable. It will
restore the appetite and make the food digest
well. Nightmare—take a teaspoonful on reti
ring, and the demons of dream-land will all be
fairici. Alter eating a hearty dinner, take a
dose of Invigorator and it will relieve all op

complaints, without benefit, can call at the
Agents and get their money back, sold at
