On Friday the 18th June, John Malcolm,
Esq. vino resides on his property, Argyle
Estate, Hanover, received intimaton, that
his negroes intended to rise on that night TO
destroy the works, and murder the white
people Oh the Estate. Information of this
diabolical plan was Immediately sent to A.
Campbell, Esq. at Copsc Estate, who is Col
onel of the Western Interior regiment Of Mi
litia. Col. Campbell instantly mastered as
many of his men under arms as the short
ness of the notice would permit, and proceed
ed to Argyle, upon which the principal part
Of the negro men finding their plan discov
cred, left the Estate, and went into the
woods. An extensive plot appears to have
been laid, in which several Estates it is con.
jcctured were concerned, but discovery Of
the plan, before it could be carried into exc
cution at Argyle causes a general dscontit-
urr.


On Sunday night the 18th inst. two trash
houses i'll Alexandria Estate in the neigh
borhood of Argyle WAS set on fire by the re-
bells, and entirely consumed. This was to
have been the signal for the other Estates to
follow the example, but the appearance of
the Military kept them in awe.


The next day during the absence of the
white people who were oil duty at Argyle,
five of the principal negroes on Golden
Grove estate, adjoining, broke into the Over
sccr's house, and carried away a fowling-
piece, a pocket pistol, and a flask of Gun
powder; they also plundercd the estate S
stores of every thing they could lay their
| hands on !; about so men and women then
abscondcd from the estate, and joined the
Argyle negroes i'll the woods, the same
night some negroes returned to Argyle pen
and killed and houghed five horsesand three
mules belonging to Mr.. Malcolm.


Application having been made on Sunday
se'nnight from Hanover and St. James to
Lieut.. Col. Mohatt of the SD Regiment, a
detachment of so men from Maroon Town,
under the command of Capt. Tench, was
Immediately marched to Great River Bridge

so Bay. On Friday, Capt. Tench, with his
detachment, and a company of the Western
