New Bern, (North-Carolina), Oct. 5. On Wednesday last, a
special messenger arrived in town from Granville County to
his excellency the governor, with the melancholy account of
a violent insurrection, or rather rebellion, having broke
out in Orange County, among a sett of men who call
themselves regulators, and who have for some years past
given infinite disturbance to the civil government of this
province, but now have sapped its whole foundation. . . [1

Fanning, at the expence of 60 or 70 L. had made a present of
to the church of Hillsborough, and split it to pieces, and
were at the point of pulling down the church, but their
leaders, thinking it would betray their religious
principles, restrained them. . .
