Virginians are seldom dirt eaters, but

AN HOUR WITH NEWSPAPERS.

THE JAMAICA REBELLION.
Our late travelling companion and
speech-malSing English friend, Sir Nor
ton Peto, writes to the London Times in
vindcation of the Baptists of Jamaica,
against whom it has been charged by
that journal that they had fomented tho
outbreak of the blacks. Sir Morton
says "Mr. Gordon was a member of the
church of England" f. j. ID. replies,
insisting that the Baptists We're at the
bottom of all the mischief. We do not
think it was the sects at all that had to
do with the late rebellion; it was En-
glish busybodyism that set the blacks in
motion in October last, just as British
philanthrophy and British tyranny pro-
voked the bloody scenes of 1892. The
London Times ina general discussion of
the recent horrors of Jamaica, takes this
philosophic view Of the races-forget-
ting, or seeming to forget, the brutality
which marked the conduct of the magis-
trates, who hanged over q thousand
blacks after the rebellion had been sup
pressed ::
Alas for grand triumphs of hunanitye
and the improvement of races, and tn
removal of primeval curses, and the ex
penditure of twenty millions sterling, ;,
Jamaica herself gaiDsays the TACT and
bellies herself, as we see to-day. 1t is
that which vexes us more than even the
Sepoy revolt. ac} u.s.. iiia..s

themselves in Il moment 1.-THE very
moralf of their African forefathers
They are as treacherous and as ready for
deeds of blood, hideous and ridiculous,
as when they could Stay thousands to
fill a trench with human gore. The very
women can show that irreverence for
the human form which Mr.. Gladstone
makes the great distinction of barbarian
races, as compared with his beloved
Greek. Like the old Gauls hewing
down the Patres Conscripti, the sable
mob fired into the court house and
wreaked their blind vengeance at once
For an hour they revelled in blood and
in still more outrageous insults to the
survivors for days they INDUCED in a
drunken dream of negro mastery aud
white slavery. It was Africa, hitherto
dormant, that had broken out in their
natures.
OF course we shall hear great deal
about the strong measures taken u
stamp ont the flame. The truth is, a
rising of this sort must be crushed at
once, and If Il few hundred soldiers and
volunteers are to do the work of a large
army they must make themselves
ubiquitous, and they must everywhere
finish their work thoroughly, leaving
nothing to the morrow, which they
may never, see. Immediate justice is
