For the Managers, MARIA WESTON CHAPMAN. From the New York Times. MORE OF THE NEGRO INSURRECTION IN TEN- NESSEE. Translated from the CourrterdesEtatsUnis, Dec. 11.1 One of our editors, at this moment in the, country designated as the centre of a black conspiracy, sends on this suhiect, some positive information, which has all the authority of direct and occular evidence.

Dover, (Tenn.) Tnesday, 2, 1850. The White BNilT. which bronjrht us to Nashville, tonehed nt the chi'f town in Stpwart county, whence I date this The whole village is in a state of anxiety; the white population is armed, and I seechildree, who can scarcely carry a pun and cirtouchi-hox, aiding to nwell the nnmher. The cause of all this is a negro conspiracy, and yon will know of it long before TAti ruci i or the other, according to the source -whence the news is received. I send you as exact an account ns possible.

That which I ie not seen myself, I give on the evi- Before the only hotel in Dover are assembled excited groups of people, nnd from among them, horsemen, with revolver in hand and rifle lung across the back, stnrf off frequently in all direction. ITere also meet, from distant places, numerous horsemen, whose animals, covered with foam, bear witness to the rapidity with which they have travelled. In the hotel, ami in two or three netghhorinj houses, the greater portion of the women nnd children may be found. Here and there the black servants obey with submission and promptitude the different orders given them. A bouse, guarded by men with bayonet fastened on the gun, encloses nine black prisoners, who are threatened with execution in few hours.

Nothing will bo done with five, at least, of them but as to the four others the chiefs of the conspiracy they will in all probability become nerjiinintpfl with the cord. We receive on board the Judge of Dover nnd his family, whom he conducts, for the moment, to nnother residence. At fonr o'clock, we arrive some miles higher up on the left bank of 4he Cumberland, at a place called tbe Cumberland Iron Works. The machine shop, a dozen houses besides, nnd a few negro huts, are all the habitations in the place. In a large building near the river, some sixty blacks an imprisoned for being conneciert wu in he conspira cy.

The remainder, on the other hand, are doing submissively their ordinary work. The same thing may be said of all the neighboring localities. This for the general aspect and now as to the causes that have given rise to all this exsitement. Its origin is traced to the Presidential campaign. Much weakened by distance, the echo of the noise made in the North about the name of Fremont has extended to the banks of the Cumberland.

It came in the track of the steamers which traversed the second tributary of the Ohio, and then found itself in the centre of Tennessee. To penetrate the most distant villages, it had only to pass along the gorges which separate these little isolated mountains. Whether emissaries (as they affirm here) came or came not from the North, it is nevertheless true, that thero have been certain indications of an approaching revolt. According to some, it was to be general, nnd would extend to all the slave States. According to others, it would simply be confined to Kentucky and Tennessee.

This latter version appears to me true, nnd it is already more than necessary to exercise an active surveillance. Nevp rtheless. nothing of a positive nature had been discovered til! about ten days t-ince. when a negro escaped from the Cumberland Iron Works. He was promptly captured, and it was learnt from him that he fled from the persecution of his brethren in servitude, who had threatened to kill him if he refused to take part in the conspiracy.

The numerous questions to which be was suhjecled canned the auhsequent arrest of nearly dghty negroes, almost all of whom avowed their complicity in a plot, anil even gave the most precise details as to the execution of their project. Nothing less wa contemplated than a general massacre. The negroes of each habitation intended, between the 231 an I 20tl of December, to slaughter the whites who surrounded them, and this accomplished, to march to the chief place of the county, where the black3 would generally assemble, and commence to act. In many places, the white is ranch inferior in numbers to the black population, but they have added to their strength by putting on a bold front, and by punishing the four principal conspirators whom I saw prisoners at Dover. This is all that has passed up to the preset time.

As to the rumurs that may have reached you about a negro killedjby a white man in a conflict, then a woman killed by a black, and lastly, a band of four hundred slaves devastating farms and slaughtering the inhabitants there is no truth in them whatever. C. G- Cukkvillk, Montgomery Wednesday, Dee. 3, 1850. We arrived here at daybreak damaged, and obliged to remain over for the greater part of the day.

I took advantage of the opportunity to go ashore and pass some hour in gaining such information ns. I could ob tain. The details that I have collected alter nothing of what I wrote yesterday evening. The town is more tranquil than any of the other places that we have visited about here. This is because the white population, more numerous, has less to fear from the plots'of agitators, white or black.

Nevertheless, during the last few days, they have not been without anxiety. They cite, among other things, the working of an iron mine, which occupies ahout eight hundred negroes, belonging to a single individual, and which has been on the point of being suspended. The energetio action of the proprietor, and the arrest of six whites who stirred up the revolt, have sufficed to suppress the commencement of an insurrection. The works go on, but they are incessantly watched. The six whites have been condemned to the penitentiary.

Thirty blacks have been arrested, and awtit judgment. The credulity of these poor people such, that they imagine that Col. Fremont, with a large army, is waiting at the mouth of the river Cumberland until the night of the 231 or 2 tth of December has arrived. Then all this army will help to deliver the slaves. They hae been struck by the sudden swelling of the river, and attribute this circumstance to the great assemblage of mcu and ships at its mouth.

Certain slaves are so greatly imbued with this fible that I have mt-jr were otinz wnippel, ana have heard them say that Fremont and hU men en hear the blows they receive The mines along the shores of the Cumberland, for a distance of ahout thirty miles, have suspended work. Machine shops, occupying from 150 to 200 negroes, have now only five or mx whites to direct operations. This is the case in regard to the Cumberland Iron Works, of which I spoke yesterday. In these localities, also, the panic is great. Three white Free Soil era have beeu arreMed in Dover io the act of a revolt They were beaten, and were allowed fifteen hours leave the county, and thirty lo get out of the State.

A black preacher was arrested while delivering an abolitionist rermon. He forms one of the nine who were yrsterd iy in Dover. Of these nine, five are not yet tried. The four others have been tried by a regular tribunal, and were condemned lo be hung on Thursday, (to-morrow); but as, on the announcement of the sentence, a band of blacks wss organiied for a rescue, the four criminals were lo be hung last evening. The excitement which will naturally follow among Ihe lave i much dreaded.

A telegraphic despatch to the" Traveller, of Dec. 15, says The people of Alexandria, have been greatly alarmed, for several days past, in consequence of a threatened insurrection among the slaves. The military were called out last night, and thirty-two sdaves were arrested at a ball where they were assembled without permission, ngainst the laws of the State. Gov. Wise has supplied arms and ammunition, 'and the people throughout the counties of Alexandria and Fairfax are arming themselves in fear a general outbreak.

No evidence has been found against any of the slaves arrested. I learn from one of the patrol of last night, that each piece of property wiil fined and whipped for violating the law by attending the ball. About twenty valuable slaves have escaped from this district Louisville, Dec. 15th. Rev.

William Anderson, a negro preacher of the Methodist Church North, was captured on Saturday on board the steamer Telegraph, with a carpet, bag filled with incendiary documents. He has been engaged in running "off slaves io the vicinity of Carrollton, and documents in bis possession implicated several distinguished Northerners. Anderson was yesterday taken to Carrollton, where a large reward has been offered for him. Baltimore, Dec 16th. Texas papers received here state the reported insurrection in Harrison county, in that State, has been greatly exaggerated.

A committee report that there is no evidence of concert in action among the negroes, nor is any while man implicated. The Alexandria Gazette says the rumors of insurrection there are also exaggerated. THE SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL CONVENTION. This Convention met at Savannah, on Monday of last vreck 600 delegates were present, representing ten Southern Arkansas, Mississippi, Marylaud. Kentucky nnd Delaware were not represented.

James Lyons, of Virginia, was President. Mr. Goulding, of Georgia, offered a resolution relative to the re-opening of the slave trade. Mr. Spratt, editor of the Charleston Standard, hoped the motion would He thought the question of slavery the most appropriate subject that could occupy the attention of the Convention.

He advocated the renewal of the slave trade, and desired to hear the objections of those who resisted the consideration of the subject. The Convention should not recognize the right Congress to impose restrictions upou the slave trade it should meet the question at once. Mr. Hunter, of Virginia, thought the Convention not competent to consider the subject. It was a great moral question.

The South should ponder long before defying the opinion of the whole Christian world. The recent message of the Governor of South Carolina had astonished the whole South and for one, he was not prepared endorse his views. The subject was one involving tremendous consequences, and time for reflection was necessary. Mr. Richardson, of Maryland, said be was not prepared to advocate commerce in slaves.

He hoped this firebrand would not be considered. Mr. Ghelson, of Virginia, was opposed to taking the subject up now, unless to discuss with the world the moral question. If the South pressed the revival of the slave trade, it would drive away many now with us. He regarded it as a direct attack upon the Union.

Mr. Goulding, of Georgia, made a fiery speech defending the renewal of the slave trade. Slavery was from God, nnd he (Goulding) was ready to defend it in its It conferred equal blessings on both races. as it a greater crime to tear the husband from the wife io Virginia to work a cotton field in the South than to purchase a negro in a field and christianize and civilize him Now was the time to decide the question and assert our rights before tbe whole world. Messrs.

Cropper nnd Green, of Virginia, endorsed Mr. Goulding view. Mr. McLeod, of Texas, pledged his State to the ex tremest views urged to day. Mexico falling to pieces our side, we must introduce there our peculiar in stitution, and counteract European intrigues.

Negro labor was necessary to the development of that section The motion was taken op and lost. Yeas 16 nays CS. South Carolina, Texas and part of Tennessee only voting in the affirmative. Mr. Cochrane, of Alabama, Chairman of the Busi ness Committee, reported resolutions relative to the Pacific Railroad.

Ihere was a long debate on the second resolution. Mr. Burfull defended the resolution as practical on the measures which regarded the road proposed.

Ihe resolutions were finally adopted. Mr. DeBow, of Louisiana, from the Committee on Business, offered a series of resolutions appointing a meeting of the Convention at Kooxville, Tennessee, on the second Monday in August next endorsing Mr. Dudley Morris's scheme fur the establishment of a line iron steam ferry boats, of thirty thousand tons, to run he ween Chesapeake Bay and Milford Haven; favoring the introduction of Southern text books into Southern schools and colleges, and the appointment of a committee of distinguished Southern Professors to prepare such works recommending Southern legislatures to order the nse of said books in Southern schools recommending the encouragement of Southern books, periodicals and journals in place of Northern publications; and recommending the encouragement ot the mining and manufacturing interests of the South. All these resolutions were ndopted.

Mr. Sammia reported favorably upon an inter-oceanic com in illicit ion via the Isthmus of Tehuaotepee, and offered a resolution recommending Congress to make a contract with the Company for the transportation of mails between New Orleans aud California by that route.

D. IIAYNE3, P. M. MrBDEit at the Statk Pbison. The State Prison was again made the theatre of a dreadlul murder yesterday morning.

The circumstances are substantially as Tbe usual morning religious service in the chapel of the prison had closed, and the prisoners bad nearly all left the apartment. Among those who descended the stairs was a convict named James Magee. He was presently seen to return nnd walk up to tbe stand, where, according to hi3 usual custom, stood Deputy Warden Walker, superintending the movements of tbe prisoners as they left the chapel. Magee caught theeye cf the Deputy Marshal, and extended towards him a slip of paper, which Mr. Walker stooped to take, and while so doing, Magee seized him by the arm, and with a surely-directed hand, plungedj knife into his neck, under the left ear, severing the jugular vein, and producing death within three minutes.

At the moment of the wound. Mr. Walker grappled with tbe prisoner, received also a stab in the groin, and one in the breast. The Chaplain of the prison. Rev.

Mr. Hampstead, rushed to the rescue, struck Magee with the chapel then seized him by the hair of the head, confining him until the arrival of further aid, when Magee was put in irons, and conveyed to a dungeon. JMr. Walker was immediately taken to the Inspector's Room, hut before he reached it, life was extinct. Thejeed was committed with a common shoe-knife, sharpened at the point.

No cause is assigned, other than soma trivial grudge entertained by Magee. It is known that Magee, some months since, stated, in ihe hearing of other prisoners, that if he ever had the opportunity, he would be the death of Mr. Walker. Magee has been considered a dangerous fellow, and once made an attempt to kill a fellow-conviot, after which, be was sent to the Insane Asylum at Taunton, from which he was shortly returned as perfectly Bane. He was employed in the whip shop.

He was sentenced to the State Prison 5nJ1851 for twelve years, for a felonious attempt to -kill bis wife. He is an Irishman, about thirty-four years of age, and formerly lived in Boston, where he received bis sentence from Judge Wells of the Municipal Mr. Walker has been Deputy Sheriff of the Prison for a period of seven years. He was a highly efficient officer, and was generally very much liked by the inmates. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his distressing fate.

He was forty-twoyearsof age, and a brother of Dr. Clement A. Walker, Superintendent of tbe Lunatic Hospital at South Boston, and a native of Fryeburg, Me. Boston Journal of Monday. Frances E.

Watkixs. This remarkable woman de- livered a lecture on the condition of the African race in our country, in tbe Odd Fellows Hall, on Tuesday evening. She is a mullatto, the white blood predominating, of twenty-five or thirty yenrs of age, hair nearly straight, and her person rather over tbe ordinary height. We have styled her a remarkable woman, as for beauty of language, distinctness of enunciation, and clearness of argument, she is not excelled by any female, or perhaps any male, that has appeared in our eity in the character of lecturer for many years.
