was in a manner ! should never have thought
possible in land under English rule.
The judge, or planter, who had heard the
plaintiffs in the first three sittings, declared
that when the ten people first came to him, he
could not know whether they were the real
proprietors Of the papers, for that hundreds
of laborers came to him with similar COM
plants every day.
He had written out the new contract on
unstamped paper, as he happened to have none
with stamp by him, and the people, not one
OF whom could write, had attached their
crosses as signatures. Afterward he had the
contract written on stamped paper, as it would
otherwise have been invalid, and in order not
to call up The people again, his clerk had afix-
ed the crosses AS the people had, therefore,
not signed with their own hands, the contract
was void, and the coolies were free and thus
the action was decided.
The real circumstances Of the case were en-
tirely different. II the poor coolies had not
found an influential protector the planter:iudge
would have decided the affair in favor of the
employer. The appearance of the official per-
sonage upon the stage compelled the Judge to
show at least an appearance of justice; and so
they saved themselves by finding out for.
gerry, for which, il. any other country the
Judge and his clerk would not only have lost
their places as certainty, but have been pro-
vided with board and lodging, and restricted
number OF companions, in a certain greatpub
lie establishment.
The planter got off unpublished, though,
even according to the Mauritian laws, framed
with great regard tor the planters conven-
fence, he should have been subjected to fine
and years Imprisonment
To crown his worthy action, he cheated the
poor coolies, and mulcted them Of months
pay, under the preteXt that they had done lit.
tie work, broken some of their implements,
and stolen others.
This paltry person is very much looked up
10 in the Manritius, and is received with pleas
ure in society. He is rich, certainly, and is a
regular attendant at church, and here as else
where, people have peculiar ideas as to wealth,
and religions ideas, which plain, honest folks
are too dull to appreciate.

with tw. days ratons. We had previous TO

TO go into winter quarters at Camp Vermont.
AT three o'clock the next morning the bugles
sounded, calling us up to prepare for tie march.
Our camp was again busy scene. AT half
past five the l4th was formed into line, this
time each man being in heavy marching order
Lieut.. Col. Rose taking the command, we were
ordered forward, the 18th, 18th and 10th pre-
cedng us, and the 18th bringing up the rear.
We marched in this order about four miles,
when the regiments ahead halted, the l4th FL
ing past them and taking the lead. The day
was pleasant, and it was a very favorable time
for a march, We arrived at Fairfax Court
House about four o'clock in the afternoon, and
camped half mile north, where we remained
that night, and till four o'clock the next day,
when we moved to our present camp, which Is
about half a mile south of the Court House,

last night. I know not exactly the object for
which we were ordered here, hut | suppose
that it is to guard this section, in place of 81

when we arrived, which were guarding the
place. learn that Camp Vermont was occu-
pied by other troops soon after we left, who
will have the benefit of our labors in case they
should go into winter quarters. The weather
