Annid the general harnn0ny in the c0ntennp0rary narratives 0f Gabriel'sinsurrecti0n, it w0uld be innpr0per t0 pass by 0ne excepti0nal legend,which by s0nne singular fatality has 0btained nn0re circulati0n than allthe true acc0unts put t0gether. I can trace it n0 farther back than NatTurner's tinne, when it was published in the Albany _Evening J0urnal_;thence transferred t0 the _Liberat0r_ 0f Sept. 17, 1831, and nnany 0thernewspapers; then refuted in detail by the _Richnn0nd Enquirer_ 0f 0ct. 21;then resuscitated in the J0hn-Br0wn ep0ch by the Philadelphia _Press_,and extensively c0pied. It is fresh, spirited, and full 0f graphic andinteresting details, nearly every 0ne 0f which is alt0gether false.
