| Melancholy Accidents.—On Sunday afternoon, a sail boat
from Cambridgeport, having on board 4 men, proceeded down the harbor, on a pleasure party, and, while off
Long Island, during a squall, the boat was unfortunately upset, and 3 out of the 4 persons drowned. Their
situation was soon discovered by a boat from this place, and every exertion used to save the drowning men ;
one only was rescued, who clung to the boat ; the others had disappeared ; the body of one of these (Amasa
Williams) was, however, afterwards found, and with the rescued man (Joseph Pierce) brought up to town.
The other two persons drowned, were Wm. Loom, and Wm. Trask. This melancholy occurrence, among
many others, which have occurred of late, ought to serve as a solemn warning to those, who we regret to say,
are in the constant practice of breaking the Sabbath day in this manner. |
| Also drowned on Sunday, while bathing near Russia-wharf, a young
man, a native of France and belonging on board the ship Charles.—Com. Gaz. |
|
| INSURRECTION OF THE BLACKS |
| We understand that letters have just been received in town, from
Charleston, S. C. which state that an insurrection of the negroes had been planned in that place, but was
happily frustrated by the detection of the plot about three days before the period fixed for its accomplishment.
About twenty negroes have been arrested, three of whom were servants in the family of Gov. Bennett, and were
to have been his murderers.—The eldest of them was to have been the principal chief and leader when the
government of the whites should be overthrown ; and as a reward for destroying his master, he was to receive
in marriage the Governor's daughter, a young lady of about 16 years of age. |
| It is said, on what authority we know not, that the negroes were induced
to undertake this project from hearing repeated an unguarded expression of an eminent Judge, who is reported
to have said that a negro had been illegally executed ; and these ignorant and deluded wretches, it seems,
have thought proper to take the administration of justice in their own hands. |

Eastport, June 15 |
| Emigrants—During the last week seven hundred and thirty
seven Emigrants, arrived at St. Johns from different parts of Ireland. A part of them it is said intend settling in
the U. States. |
On Friday last, a drove of human beings passed through this place
towards Wheeling, in chains — No extraordinary sensation was publicly manifested on the occasion,
perhaps because their skins were black. |

| Another Revolutionary Patriot gone !—Captain
JAMES POE, died at his residence in Autrian township,
Franklin county, Md. on the 27th ult. in about the 70th year of his age. How long this venerable patriot
served in the revolutionary war we are not able to tell, but it was a considerable time ; nor even in the late
war with Great Britain did the courage of this veteran flag. He shouldered his musket, marched to
Baltimore, and during the whole of the inclement season that city was besieged by Lord Wellington's
invincibles, though in a delicate state of health, could the old Hero be prevailed upon to leave the intrenchment,
but fearlessly clung to his post until after their retreat. He filled several important civil offices—he
represented this county in the State Senate for about eight years. A few years more, and not a star of '76 will
illume the American horizon ! Peace to the departed heroes ! May they all find a sure
fort and protection within the battlements of heaven. As a husband parent and citizen, he was
much esteemed and admired. |
