Negro Insurrection !—Immense Fx-acitement at Tlgerrilh ! ’—The Tigers n i are Terrified!!!—Bayou Black on 1 ! Fire!!!! '[First Dispatch*J ITigervillk, —. Dear Mr. Editor : A o branch of the St. Marys insurrection has just been ferreted out in our suburbs, but c with strenuous perspicuity we anticipate j nipping it in the blt;ni. We are all armed ;a to the teeth, and prepared for any file. j *■ Tigerfornia will be true to herself. A L slave of the most formidable proportions,; tthe property of Mrs. . has just been «;arrested. His ferocity and mature judg- a ment designate him as a leader of the t Black Republican parly, and our snspi- g ! cions were fully confirmed by the finding jt i of a large iron whistle in his pocket.When first arrested he attempted to swal-' low the said whistle, but his efforts were frustrated by the prompt intervention of ; the proper authorities. This is supposed e ' to be the identical whistle used by Rode. | P rick Dhu, and was presented to General Jim by a Scotch schoolmaster. Others affirm that it was stolen from a locomotive; | on the Opelousas Railroad. The whole „ | will be thoroughly sifted by our Vigilance s ; Committee, who have just put fresh caps *. on their revolvers, after abrogating, in \fifteen minutes, the criminal legislation of the State. Au revoir,X. Y. Z. Tiger.P. S.—-Tell Houma to be on her guard.1 a ; That fellow Paris is a fire-brand. ] ji rS*Ylt;Yiwt fliniatt h. I 1:
