Negro Kiot near Fortress Monroe

FORTRESS MONROE, July 23.-The
United States steam tug Genoa returned
Yesterday from the scene of disturbance
on the eastern snore of Virginia, near
Drummondtown, between the inhabi-
tants and the negroes. 1t appears that
the trouble originated in a band OF
white men hunting down some negroes
for the purpose of searching for one
named Couch, who, few days previous,
had attempted to cut the throat Of a
white man. The negroes were rebbed OF
their arms and money, when they made
complaint to the civil authorities, who
ssued warrants for the arrest of eleven of
ithe whites. The l4th instant was set
apart for the hearing of their cases
AT village named Woodstock, on that
day, about one hundred well. l.armed
white men assembled, swearing they
would kill every negro who attempted
to testify, and threatened the magistrate,
Mr.. Dix, with violence if the proceedings
we're continued The magistrate seeing
the state of affairs, endorsed upon the
warrants of arrest the impossibility of
conducting the trial, under the circum-
stances, and informed Major French, the
agent of the Freedman's Bureau, of his
action. The latter officer advised the
negroes to quietly return to their homes,
and while they were doing so they were
again assaulted and pursued by the
armed whites until they reached places
of safety. Upon the arrival of the
troops; the white men dispersed in every
direction, and not one of them could be
found after a most rigid search.
