WEST INDIES.
REVOLT IN JAMAICA.

The Halifax Sun, of the 25th October, brought
by the China, says :
Considerable excitement was created yesterday
in consequence of a telegram received by Major-
General Doyle, to the following effect :
"The Governor of Jamaica reports through Con-
sal General Bunch, that a rebellion of negroes had
occurred in the eastern district of the island of
Jamaica. Mr. Bunch's letter bears date the 18th
October."

Immediately a consultation of the military autho-
rities was held and preparations made for the imme-
diate despatch of troops to that Island. The 17th
Regiment are under orders to embark on board her
Majesty's ship Duncan, and will leave on Saturday
morning. A company of Engineers and a body of
Artillery, with some large guns, will also be sent.
At the dockyard all is activity preparing the vessels
for the reception of the troops, and making other
arrangements.
The Delta has been despatched to Prince Edward
Island, it is said, to bring the troops from there. It
is also stated that the Sphynx, daily expected here,
will be despatched to Bermuda, to convey orders for
the 2d Regiment to embark for Jamaica.
Various are the rumours in reference to the
state and cause of the revolt. Some time since
we noticed by the papers that, in consequence
of the scarcity of food, the coloured people of
Jamaica were suffering ; they had applied for relief
to the Government, and were much dissatisfied
with the answer received. Hunger, then, may have
been the cause. Another reason is assigned, viz.,
that the revolt among the coloured troops is in conse-
quence of their sympathy with the rebellion in the
republic of Hayti. We believe the population of
Jamaica is over 300,000, and of that number not
more than 20,000 are white. The proportion of the
coloured troops to the white is also large. If the
disaffection exists to any considerable extent, we
fear there may be disastrous results before assistance
reaches there. It is stated hero that a collision had
taken place between the white and coloured troops,
and that the former had been compelled to fall back
to Port Royal, and from thence embarked on board
the men of war, which now blockade the harbour.

Nnw YORK, Oct. 24 (Evening).

The news from the South is meagre, but satis-
factory. Business is being rapidly revived and
Northern capital largely invested. The question of
labour still, however, engrosses serious attention,
and fears are entertained that the crops for several
seasons, pending the effectual organisation of free
labour, must be far below their former average. In
some quarters the negroes are said to be discon-
tented, idle, and turbulent to an extent justifying
fears of an insurrection ; but should any such out-
break occur, it is presumed that it would be con-
fined to some not very extended locality, and would
be speedily quelled by the military. The Freed-
me" Bureau have, however, taken important
measures to prevent such occurrences.
General Bennett, at Charleston, South Carolina,
issued an order instructing the Federal troops to
avoid interfering with the approaching election, and
to keep away from the vicinity of the polls. The
results of the election are as yet unknown. General
Wade Hampton and J. C. Orr were candidates for
the Governorship. General Hampton's friends were
confident of his election. Great animosity is said
to exist in some parts of the State between the
whites and negroes ; this is particularly the case on
the coast where the freedmen are established upon
abandoned plantations under the protection of the
Freedmen's Bureau. It is alleged that the negroes
are allowing the land to run to waste, although
they will not relinquish them, and that they are
merely raising enough to sustain themselves, and are
making no provisions for regular crops. Most of
the negroes are armed and serious collisions were
apprehended. General 0. 0. Howard, chief of the
Freedmen's Bureau has gone to South Carolina for
the purpose of effecting an adjustment of the exist-
ing difficulties and averting any serious consequences
of the antipathy developed in the section between
the races.

In Mississippi the excitement attending the election
had passed away without any disturbance, and the
people were earnestly aiding the authorities in their
efforts to restore the prosperity of the State, and to
secure political harmony. Governor Humphreys is
said to be very popular, as also are all the recently
elected officials.

Thd Wirz trial has at last closed, and the de-
cision of the court will be rendered in a few days.
Colonel Chipman, Judge-Advocate, concluded his
argument for the prosecution on the 21st. He
claimed that Wirz had, according to the evidence,
perpetrated eighteen murders with his own hands.
At the conclusion of the argument Wirz, at his
own request, underwent a medical examination for
purpose of showing that he could not have been in a
physical condition to commit the violence attributed
to him. The examination showed his right arm to
have suffered severely from prolonged necrosis, and
his system to be severely shattered by scurvy and
gangreen sores.
The Fenian Congress at Philadelphia has nearly
closed its present session. The office of Head
Centre has been abolished and that of President
created, Col. John O'Mahony being elected unani-
mously president of all the brotherhood in North
America. A so. called Superior Council has been
created likewise. Rumours are current to the effect
that Sir F. W. Bruce has filed a serious protest
against the encouragement of the Fenian movement
by American citizens, or its toleration by Federal
authorities.
President Johnson on Saturday pardoned nearly
200 South Carolinians.
Among those who yesterday had private inter-
views with the President were Hon. Pierre Soule,
Hon. R. M. S. Hunter of Virginia, and the Confe-
derate General Richard Taylor. The latter is a
brother-in-law to Mr. Davis.
The following important proclamation was issued
at Mexico on the 2d of October .

" Mexicans,—The cause which Benito Juarez up-
held with so much valour and constancy succumbed
some time since, not only to the national will, but
to the very law which that leader invoked in sup-
