Daily Advocate [Baton Rouge, LA], September 21, 1860
Abolition incendiarism seems not to be confined to the State of Texas, but also embraces portions of Georgia. Late papers state that insurrectionary plots have been discovered among the negroes near Dalton and Marietta. A plot to burn Dalton had been frustrated and thirty-six negroes arrested, who have made confession. From Dalton to Marietta, the people were under arms to protect the women and children.
