Not having received any confirmation of the account published last week, of the negroes rising in North-Carolina, we are induced to state how we got the information.—The note published, was written on the margin of a Warrenton paper of the 25th April. The same paper of the 2d May, has been since received, which does not mention the subject. Who the writer of the note was we shall not attempt to say, but hope his next communication will at least contain the truth, and not put us to the necessity of contradicting our own publications.
