The following text is presented here in complete form, as it originally appeared in print. Spelling and typographical errors have been preserved as in the original.
ALARMS. The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail warns its readers, in very excited language, against a servile plot which is to be executed Christmas week. It says it has all the facts in its possession, but refrains from giving them publicity. Its advice is:
Be on the alert – remember that fire, poison and the knife are supplied to bad negroes by our pious brethren of the north – let no stray vagrants remain about your premises – jail every “suspicious” character, hanging such as are found in communication with slaves.
