From Iht Cjmftiltr of yetterday.
Wo wish to limit as far as wo can, tlio gross e xag
gcraiions which aro afloat. No placa has been so full
of them as our city was but yesterday. It teemed with the
most port mtous stories, echoing anti repeating io vari
ous strains, the con outs of two or tluee despatches
which were received by the Governor on Satuidav
night, from the counties of Surry and Nansemond. it
was aaid upon the foundation of the Hurry letters writ
ten on Saturday morning, that "inlorination" had been
received that “ several murders'’ had been committed
on that morning in Southampton, 27 miles from the
Cross Keys, (lie place where the first massacre had
commenced—that a coulession had beeu extorted from
a slave or slaves in Surry, that the massacre had been
commenced on the wrong day, on the third instead ot
the fourth Sunday in August—and that a pretty con
certed plan had been laid for rising in several of the
lower counties, &c. Expresses also reached the Go
vernor, calling lor arms, as a precautionary measure, for
Ibo counties of Prince George and Mecklenburg,
1 lieae accounts generated oilier rumours in the course
ol the day —some of them too ridiculous to be noticed.
It was believed that all the troops which had been dis
patched to Southampton, bad been sent home—and that
whilst these Iresh murders had been perpetrated on
Saturday in Southampton; whilst a general scheme of
Insurrection was on tool, Southampton had been expos
ed to new attacks, without effectual ineaus lor their im
mediate suppression.
The Governor had with treat propriety attended to
Ibe requisitions from Isle of Wight, Surry and Nanse
mond; and aboui 800 stand of arm wero despatched
next niordii.g after ibe air.val of the exprets, [v z yes
Itrday rnorningj in tho steamboat Richmond (or the
use o< those counties
In the meanwhile, every thing was perfectly quiet
In our city—our colored population were never more
tranquil—bu‘, for the sake of prudent precaution, every
preparation waa made tor a strong patrol to scour the
city in the course of the night.
Such was the state ol Ibe case when wa were inform.
«d laet night, about candlelight, that ons ol tho most
intelligent members ol our company of Dregoons had
arrived at an express to the Governor, lie brought e
letter from Gen. Epper, commanding at Jerusalem
We bad Ibe pleasure ol seeing him immediately, and
from hie ligw we gather an ample contradiction of the
rumors with wli ch our City swarmed in the course ol
ysslerelay. W* submit a vety hasty statement of the
accounts which he gave, and though we may have
mistaken him in some particular*, we think we cau
vouch for the general accuracy of tha following state
ment :
He left Jerusalem on Saturday morning about 11 o’
clock. He bad heard of no murders committed oo that
morning. He came, too, through Sussex. He doss
■aoi believe that any murder has been perpetrated In
Southampton since 12 o’clock of ltd Monday (the 22,1
inet 1
A fanatic praacbar by the name of Nat. Turner (Gan.
Nat Turner!) who had bean taught to read and write,
and permitted to ge about preaching in the country, was
at the bottom of ibia infernal brigandage. He waa art
ful, impudent and vindictive, without any cauae or pro
vocation, that ceuld be assigned.— He waa the slave ol
Mr. Travia. He and another slave of Mr. T. a young
(allow, by the name ol Moore, ware two ol the leaders.
Three or four ethers were first eoucernad and moat aa
**Hre.—They had 16 others to join them. And by im
portunity or threats they prevailed upen aheut 20 others
to co-operate in the scheme of masracre. We can
not say how long they ware organizing themselves—
hut they turned out on last Monday morning early
{the 22.1) open their nefarious expedition. T«ey be
gan with the house of Mrs. Wkitehsad, where thry
t-ul to death every while parson on the premises.—
They then attacked Mr Travis's bouse, where the
daughter waa squally indiscriminate. They ware
cueunted, to the number ef 40 or 60; and with knives
and axes—knocking on the hoed, or culling the throats
«l their victims. They bed few fire-arms among them
—end scarcely one, i* one, that was fit for use. Thair
bring mounted enabled them te psrot trate the lament
able mischief, whirh so atnal! a force could exacule
lu sa small a circuit (in the neighborhood of the Cross
K*y») • very lew milss from Jerusalem', and on tha
eppcaile aide of tha Nettoway rivar. But aa they
went from bouse to house, they drank ardent spirits—
end it is supposed, that in consequence of their being
Intoxicated, or frem mere (atigue, they paused In their
murderoua career about 12 o’clock on Monday.
A (actor two, before we continue our uarre’.ive.
Thece wretches are now estimated te have committed
lixty-one murdert! Not a white parson escaped, at
all the houses they visited, except two.' One was e
little eh IJ a! M r. WalHr’s, about 7 or 8 years of age,
who had sagacity enough to creep up a rbimney; aud the
other was Mr». Barrow, whoje husband was murder
ed in bis cotton patch, though be bad received some
notice in the course ol the morning of the murderous
deeds that were going o-.; but had placed no confidence
in the sloty, and (ell e victim to his incredulity. Hu
wife hid hers>lf between the weather boarding of iha
room, and the unplaistrrad lathing, and esc.ped, the
wretches not taking lime to hunt h»rou'. It was br
1 evtd, that one ol the brigands had taken up a spit*
against Mr llatraw, hecauie he had refused bun on.
•t his female slaves for a wife.
Early on Tuesday rr oroiog, lhay attempted to renew
their bloody wo. k.—Tnsy made an sttatk upon M .
Bud', a gentleman, who was vary unwell tv|:h the
gou*, and who instead si flying, determined to brave
ibsm out. He had several pieces of fire-irms, perhaps
•even or eight, and ha put than. Into' the hau ls cf hit
own slaves, who ut bly and gallantly stood by him.
They replied the bris»nde— billed one, wounded and
look p ii-nrr [Gee. Moore.] md we believo to.k a
third, who was not wounded at »l'.
We understand that 15 of these brigacds had been
kilted—some in a skirmish in "Parker’s Field,” (a. it
has been called, and alluded to in the letter from the
lady of Southampton that we publishod on Saturday,)
•everal were there sho'. Msoy have been taken pn

they had probably aurrot udrd Nat and hie aiuall hand,
and expected to li ke them. Bui a* no accounts had
arrived up to 11 o’clock on Saturday, loma doubt* w*ie
entertained «f their imm«di>te auccetr.
The militia of Southampton had been moat active in
ferreting out the tugi ives from their hiding placer,
which was of course to be expected from their superior
knowledge of their county. Hut it deserves to be
•aid to the credit of many ol the slaves, whom grati
tude iiad bound to their masters, that they had manifest
ed the greatest alacrity in detecting and apprehending
many ol (he brigands. They had brought in several
and a fine spirit had been shown in many ol the planta
tions, ol confidence on (he pari of the masters, and grati
tude on that of the slaver. It is said that from -10 to 6(1
blacks were in jail - some ol whom were known to he
concerned with the murderers, and others suspected
The courts will discriminate the innocent Irom the
guilty.
It is believed that all ihe brigan Is were slaves —and
most, il not all these, the properly ol kind and indul
gent masters. It is not known that any ol them hail
been the runaways ol the swamps and only ono ol
them was a free man of color. He had aflerwards re
turned to his own house, and a party aeril there to ap
prehend him. He was accidently seen concealed in hit
yard and shot.

most efficient measurer to give quiet and atcuri y to

G«n. Krodnax, who bad repaired to Greensville and

whieh bad assembled at Hirka’ Ford, reports to the Gj
\etnor that be has discharged th* 66 band 96,h Uegi

had install.ly turned out upon information of the dis
turbances io Ssutbampton. The officers detached by

lha saane of the late murders is psrfectly quiet, and
free fiom any visible marauders. No murder or olh*r
iejury committed or attempted tine* Monday laa*.—
All the party have been killed or lakso, wi h the *x

The G.nrral is convinced, from various soutcaa of

among the slaves.—Circurulanssr, impossible to have
beeo feigned, demons rate the entire iguoranaa ou
the subject, of all the slaves in the counties around
Sjutbampioti, among whom he has never known more
perfect order ond quiet lo prevail.
That it is much to be regretted, that in the gsnersl

have continued unknown, and bseo so much exagger

The Tarboi.uigli Free Fred* says: " In the Fayette

of nine votes over Edward Deberry, late member. The
vote stood: Bethune 3082, Deberry 3073 [This change
is in favor of the Administration In 1827 the delega
tion Irom this State stood: For Jackson 9, Anti-Jack
son 4 — in 1829, 11 to 2, (Messrs. Deberry and Wil

The U. 8 Telegraph is very anxious to raise the Cal
houn Flag — It is persuading the friends of Mr. Clay,
that he stands no chance, &c. &c—They repel the pro
position to withdraw him—generally treating Mr. Cal
houn all the while with as much civility as they can.
The Telegraph acknowledges their courtesy—but would
rather have more effectual aid.
The Telegraph afreets to say, that it is tired of alle
giance to man—that it is not devoted to any particular
candidate, &c. &e —Who that has tracked the course
of Mr. Green lor eight years past, can readily lend cre
dence to this assertion? He goes for Mr. Calhoun,
and he goes against General Jackson.—But it will not
all do!
The friends of Mr. Clay are somewhat posed by the
result of the Kentucky Elections—hut they will stick
to him.—They are much more at a loss to understand
Mr. Hush. In his 3d letter to the Anti-Masons, he de
clares that their creed ought to be the test at the next
Presidential Election. “I am not, (says he) and have
not been, the advocate of the present occupant of the
executive chair; hut the public evils real nr alleged of
this administration, are as nothing in my sight, the sum
of them, to those which spring from masonry,—this
power of darkness that fights against the re«t of society
and fights unseen, that throws its bolls whilst the hand
is hidden. As his successor, I wat and desired to re.
main, friendly to the claims ol a distinguished and high
ly gifted e.itieen of the West, whose maxims of public
policy I have approved, and towards whom I would ns
v*r wish to abate in the feelings of personal respect and
attachment. But all the benefits which in other re
spects might he augured from his abilities and patriotism,
and I render a free homage to both, would be no com
pensation in my Judgment for the longer existence
among us of this baleful Institution; this rain-boast
ing despot, that grows more exacting as it Is more crimi
nal; that would sacrifice every thing lo its own selfish
and desperate passions;—this tyrant, that stalks over
liberty, life, the law, the press." Mr. R, then "teas
and desired to remain,” Mr. Clay’s friend - but he has
not declared him«clf an Anti-Mason! far. hr. The
Boston Centinel, however says, that "A rumor reached
o ir eara last evening, that a long letter had been receiv
. ed here from Mr. Rush in support of Mr. Clay as a
( candidate for the Presidency."—Yet In Its next No. the
Centinel changes its key, lor It says, "we rather incline
to (he bcliel, however, that should he receive a nomi
nation at Baltimore, that he will accept, ••motives” In
the contrary notwithstanding."—And so think we.—The
Boston Courier says, it is rumored thst Mr. Adsms has
declined the overture to become the Anti-Masonic can
didate—hut does not vouch for the correctness ol the
rumor' Thru me go.'
The report in the Opposition Prints, thst IJphatn (tht
smuggler) had been fined only one dollar for bi<
shameful attack on Mr. Hill, (which the Newhuryporl
Advertiser disgracefully calls "the value of a Cowekln

ANTI-TARIFF MEETING IN BRUNSWICK.
Ou Monday (he 22d ult., it being (he day ol our elec
tion, by invitation previously given through the public
papers, a largo number of the citizen* of Brunswick as
sembled in the Court House, to take iuto consideration
the propriety of sending delegatos to thu Anti Tarili
Convention, to be held in Philadelphia in September
next. Col. George C. Dromgoole was called to the
Chair,and Richard W. Field appointed Secretary. Col
1 Dromgoolo explained the object of the meeting and
gave an exposition of the character of the present Ta
riff—ila oppression, injustice, &c. On the conclusion of
Col. O’s remarks, a committee, consisting of Richard
W. Meade, Jr U. U. Wilkes, T. Gibbon, It. Trumbull,
and J. H. Claiborne, Esqrs. were appointed to draft a
pr -amlile and resolutions expressive of the object and
opinions ol the meeting. The committee having retir
ed a short time, made the following report, which was
unanimously adopted:
The citizens of Brunswick, hero assembled, while
they yield to uone in their attachment to the Union ol
these States, nud look upon it aa a great and peculiat
blessing, have yet been over taught to believe there
is no evil of a political nature, (e be compared in magni
tude to that of a consolidated government over these
Uuiled States. Believing that the aystein, which its
Iriamls term the Americau System, involves powers
which were not delegated to Congress, and tends tc
swell the powers of the Federal Government to a height
inconsiateut with the reserved rights of the States, and
destructive of their sovereignty, they will, therefore,
no less on this account, than on account of the extreme
hardship and injustice which result from tl is system to
the Southern People, unite with their brethren to cause
the same to he repealed.
They refrain from discussing at this time bow far 01
how long the system may he endured. They are ye
willing to believe, that a dispassionate appeal to the virtur
and inti lligence of the people ol the United States will re
lieve them of (his intolerable burthen; and they yet hope
that their northern brethren may find in an increased con
fidence in their justice and integrity, an adequate remu
deration for the emoluments ot a system, upon which
the Imputation must ever rest of being at once uncou
slitutioual, unequal, and extremely selfish.
1st. Resolved, therefore That (hit meeting concur ii
the propriety of sending delegates to the Anti-Tarif
Convention about to be assembled in Philadelphia.
2:ul. Resolved, That alter the payment ol the Na
tional Debt, every obuox oua feature in the Tariff should
be abolished —high duties taken off generally, and i
gradual reduction should commence froi.a this time.
3rd. Resolved, That a committee of seventeen bn ap
pointed to choose Irom the body ot the county two 01
more persons to represent this meeting in said Conven

CO .1/ ~HUJYiCATED
A Hint to the Opponents or the Taairr.
You are appointing too many Delegnltt to the C’o->
ventionin Philadelphia, lu uiauy couutie*, three or
lour delegates have bean chosen. Suppose one half ot
tho>e-not to say all—were to attend.' Suppose even
one Irotn each county, in every stale or district, adverse
to the taritr, wore to attend the Convention* What
room in Philadelphia would hold them alii It would
surely be better lor one delegate to be chosen by several
counties, arranging themselves somewhat in the man
uer of Congressional Districts. Thus, Henrico, llano
ver and Chesterfield, might he represented by It. W.
Leigh, or John Robertson; Powhatan, Amelia, aud two
or three of the adjacent counties, by Mr. Nash, or Mr.
Miller; Charlotte, kc. by Mr. Randolph; and so on. Hy
tlicss means, not only would the inconvenience of a
too Humorous assembly be avoided, but the best talent*
would be called into requisition without the (otherwise
inevitable) intermixture of mediocrity A man who
would not be temptsd Irotn his home and his regular pur
suits, by the small housr of representing a county, might
be prevailed on by the S’tlirages ol a district. Resides, j
every county has not a man conspicuous for talents —
evsry district hat.
Another HintI Your Delegate• ought not to be
tuffered to defray their oten rxpentr*. The hundred
dollars or more, which the trip would cost them, ought
to be pant by a contribution of their constituents. Nono
but very wealthy men can afford that expenditure, in
addi ion to the loss of their time and labour from their
private concerns. At every iiiesling that appoints a
delegate, let it be resolved, that the charges of hi* mis
sion shall ha re-imburaed to him: aud for (hat purposo
let a committee bs appointed, who, on his return, shall
ascertain the amount of those charges, and take upon
themselves tho burthen of collecting it from the people,
at the rate ol 2S or SO cent* such man, and when col
lected, of paying it to (he delegate. Will any one shrink
from this self-imposed tax? Lot him consider, that if
ihs Convenlieu succeed iu its oOjest, he will be rnlioved
of taxes enough to repay It to him ton times over,
evory year of his life. If bsrely the duty of 20 cents
a buthel ou salt be takou olf, he will be repaid by the
first two bushels aud s half that ho buys. Audit but
half, or ten cent* per bushel bo taken olf, the SO cunts
will lie saved on every sack containing S bushels. — In
deed. even if there were no such economical conside
rations as these to govern us, I might say. as your la
thers did ol old, ".Millions mu defence, nut one
CENT for tribute;9* but the times do nut, I trust
require so reeofufioriury an exclamation. We will go
peaceably and soberly about (lie redress ol our grievan
ces; remembering the parting lnjunc ion of Washing
ton: to watch for the preservation ol our Union "with
jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may sug
cost even a stiiiiirinn that it on in anv
. dotted; anti indignantly frowning upon the first dawning
of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country
from the roet, or to eufeeble tho eacred tie* which now
link together the vatioua part*.”- It may admit of a
question, which more deserve our indignant frowna:
they, who, with itlfith heart* and greedy h ind*, are
draining thoir brethren ol 40 per cent of their income*
under the pretext of tnukiug America independent ol
Europe; or they, who are too hattily impelled by the
wrong, to thiuk and apeak too rnahly of the “deed with
out a name!” For my part, regarding the former a*
the aggroaaor*. and tho latter but aa relenting the ag*
greision with disproportionate violence, I consider thutt
a* incurring the awlul penalty of Washington's and their
country’s curse. MACON.

Gentlemen: — I have iluly received your communi
cation hearing the post-mark of ilia 25th inst. covering
Resolutions adopted at a meeting of many ci'izens of
Gloucester county, on the 11th of June. The kind
opinions expressed by the meeting of my " unreinilted
exertions” and "great ability,” coming from a source
deservedly entitled to the respect and confidence of the
public, are well calculated, especially under the cir
cumstances by which 1 am surrounded, to elicit and
have commanded my warmest gratitude. That my
conduct lias secured to me the entire confidence of
the enlightened and virtuous citizens of your commu
nity, furnishes ample assurance to the world of the
fidelity of my judicial life, and of my ability to dis
charge the duties of the office so long filled under their
immediate observation. After ten sessions of artive,
ardent, and zealous service, ill the Legislature of Vir
ginia, commencing in 1797, and about twenty-two years
of the most arduous exertion in the discharge of highly
important judicial duties, 1 find myself unexpectedly in
a private station. On a strict review and scrutiny of my
conduct, it gives me the grea'est pleasure to believe
that I have never failed to promote the public interests
to the utmost of my ability, and that I never for a mo
ment forgot (hat I was the mere agent and servant of
the people.
To have deserved and obtained the good opinion and
confidence ol the wise and virtuous, will he a never
failing source of gratification to me; and when old age
shall have deprived me of the ability In contribute to
the public good, I slill shall derive comfort fmtn the
reflection that I have discharged my duties to my coun
try wi.h entire good lallh. and have been rewarded
with the approbation of those who hast knew, and could
therefore best appreciate my efforts to promote the In
terests of the Republic.
Permit me, gentlemen, through yoti, to render my
thanks to the citizens of yotir county, and to assure them
that'his last act in a long intercourse, distinguished
throughout by their kindness and confiding generosity,
will lie fondly cherished through life, by their old and
devoted servant.
For the kind wishes voo have personally expressed
towards m», be | le*s»d to accept my acknowledgments;
and I tender to you the assurance of my entire esteem
and friendship. Most respectfully.
