The U. S. steam tug, Geneva, returned
yesterday afternoon from the scene of the
disturbance on the eastern shore of Vir-
ginia, near Drummondtown, between the in
habitan,s and the negroes.
The trouble originated in band OF white
men hunting down some negroes for the pur-
pose of searching for one named Church, who
few days previous had attempted to cut the
throat OF white man.
The negroes were robbed Of their arms and
money, when they made complaint to the civ
il authorities, who issued warrants for the
arrest Of eleven of the white men.
The l4th inst. was set apart for the hearing
Of the case at a village named Woodstock
On that day about 100 well armed white men
assembled, swearing they would kill every
negro who attempted to testify, and threat
ened the magistrate, Mr.. Dix, with violence,
II the proceedings were continued.
The magistrate, seeing the state Of sffairs,
endorsed upon the warrants Of arrest the i'm
possibility Of conducting the trial under such
circumstances, ard informed Major French,
agent Of the Freedmen's Bureau, of his ac-
ton.
The latter officer advised the negroes to
quietly return to their homes, and while they
were doing 80, they were again assailed and
pursued by the armed whites. until they
reach 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 most rigid
search.
