FRIDAY, 18TH AUGUST 1866.

THROUGH the kindness of E. H. PER-
KINs Esqr.. American Consul at this
place, we are indebted for the loan of
the New York Weehly Times, of 4th inst;
from which we have made some extracts
that will be found below.
The European Mails arrived here
Thursday night last, with dates TO the
End inst. We refer to our Extracts in
another part Of this paper.
~CEe@
Now, that the time for giving notice to
quit service in the country has again
come round, we offer a few remarks as
to the manner in which some of the la
borers act, and the way they receive
employment again. There is always a
strong inclination on the part of the
laborer to 60 TO a foreign. place, where
high wages are given. This inducement
of getting better pay blinds the laborer,
and he thinks of nothing else so that
very many leave this island for more
wages, aud shortly after regret it very
much !; because they then find out that
with their greater pay they save much
less than when here-they get no priYi-
leges, no house, and they have to pay
dear for the common necessaries of life.
This folly is very pitiable, and if the
laborer, who wishes to leave under these
circumstances, were to get some idea of
, 1866-08-17

what he is going to do, he, most certainly
would refrain from e~nteringAon# such a
course, and remain where he is, with
his comfortable house, weekly allow
ance and pay, ground, education for his
children, medical attendance and medi-
cine and a plenty of privileges. To do
thlS-to reason with the laborer-may
be considered a hard task but we think,
that If our clergymen were to take the
matter under their management, they
would succeed better than any other
persons. Many good, useful and impress
slVe sermons could be preached on this
head, and the good effect is left TO be
seen nothing but a trial is necessary;
and this IS the proper time-the entire
month of August being set apart for the
laborerS to give notice to quit service in
October. It is true some Iaborers have
good reasons to leave one estate for
another, either from a legal cause-mar-
rlageS between laborers attached to diff
terent estates-Or from disagreement
with the manager. Disagreement with
a manager or i'll treatment from him to
the laborer is, in some cases, even by
law, considered a Just reason to leave
NN NSI"'N VuuJ u SuDStdJtluLS HIS
statement we will mention the result
of a suit at law, which was i%nstitut-
ed some time this year in the police Of
flee at Frederiksted, between q manager
anu Il IaD0rer. 1t IS necessary before we
proceed further, to state the nature of
the suit ; and it is this: The manager
sent the driver in the negro village on
Easter Monday last-a general holiday
to call a laborer-the cngineer-but who
answered that he could not come then as
he was Strengthening a hog but would
come when he was finished with what he
was doing. The manager, upon hearing
this, got cnraged; he went to the village,
and ilI-treated the laborer-shubbed him
out of the yard Of the village. In the
police court the laborer insisted that the
manager had kicked him but the latter
denied it, and stated that he thought he
had a right to call any laborer to him at
any time, whether working day or holy
day, and that if the laborer-the engineer
did not obey him the next time, he,
the manager, would not be quite sure
that he would not kick the engineer.
The laborer then demanded his pass 10
quit the estate, so as not to expose him.
self to be IlI.treated-kIcked-by the
manager. The Court, in justice, granted
the laborer permission to leave at once.
This suit was appealed 10 The Upper
Court, and the sentence Of the town
Court was confirmed a few days ago.
Let then good treatment take the place
of bad one, and this might also be one
of the means to keep the laborers from
moving from estate to estate, or from
migrating to other places.

The dead body of a full-born child was
found on Wednesday last under a tree
on Becksgrove estate, by a pathway, that
leads from this estate over 10 the estates

ing is yet discovered. We promise to
give more particulars when placed ina
position to do so.
