New YoRK, Nov. 1S.-The Heralds
Kingston; Jamaica, special ofthe 18th inst.
says theFe is fear Of another negro riotous
and revolutionary outbreak. The parish
of 81. Thomas, in the east IS threatened on
the present occasion, as in the case of the
former rebellion. There are as many as
400 negroes disciplining themselves to
military practice, and are ready to take up
arms. The Protestant Rector of st. David
parish has been already admonished by
the leaders of the eolored force. A
great panic exists all over the island il
consequence. The government is on the
alert.
Several shocks Of an earthquake we're
experiencedon the days of the 14th and 18th
inst.
The Herald's Havana special Of the 18th
says: We have an announcement that ST.
Domingo City has been destroyed, probas
bly, by an earthquake. / have telegraphed

The news of the insnrrection in Hayti is
confrmed. On the 18th Of October the
scene in the legislative chambers was very
violent and the language used of the most
Threatening character. 1t all arose from
motiofg made to relieve Montezpwho is in
a Cape Haytien dungeon. The members
all spoke in his defense. II is stated that
President Salnave became 80 audacious as
to secretly incite rabble of women and
bows 10 attack the House Of Assembly.
This they did amid loud voices for SalnaYe
and cries of +" Down with the Assembly
hurling at the same time bricks, bottles,
sticks. etc. The dwellings of many were
stoned The American Consul was fired
at, bat escaped unhurt. A unanimous
protest of the Diplomatic Corps has been
presented against such scenes, and demand
ing of the government TO see to it that the
like does not occur again.
The Times special says The muster out
of Msi. Gen Sickles, leaves him with his
lineal rank of Colonel of the 44th United
States infantry, veteran reserve corps aud
Brevet Major General. His regiment is
stationed in this city, and if he shonld be
assigned TO duty according to his Breyet
rank, he would be in very close proximity
to his Excellency.
1t is probable that Congress will call for
the correspondence between the President
and Gen. Sickles, on the subject of the
latter's application for a court of inquiry,
which application was denied
The Tribune's special says: Thaddeus
Stevens informed gentlemen who called on
him to-day, that he feels stronger at pre-
sent than he has felt at any time during
the last FIVE years.
He also stated he is in receipt of letters
from all parts Of the country indorsing the
financial views put forth in his recent let
| ter, though it is denied that Mr.. Stanberry
wrote the opinion against the re assembling
| of Congress. This much is known, how
ever, that the article came from the Attor.
ney Generals Office, and that il reflects the
| views both of Mr.. Stanberry and Mr.. john
son on the subject.
| During the recent session of the United
| States Circuit Court, no attempt was made
by the government, or by the counsel fol
| JEFF. Davis, TO bring on a trial of that gen
| tleman, and il, cannot, therefore, take place
until the next regular term, which com
mences on the last Monday of the present
month.
1t is possible that the Chief Justice may
attend on that day, but he will have tC
return to Washington the same week tC
preFi5e at the opening of the regular an
/ nuaf term of the Supreme Court.
The Herald's special says: The garrison
of Washington has been considerably re
inforeed within the past week or two, anC
it ia now forms military post more i'm
posing in strength than it ever did before ii
time of peace. Anxious inquirers learn i
is because the troops can be furnished Will
better winter quarters than elsewhere.
! The Herald's special says The Repub
lican Senators and Representatives VIII
have arrived here express their determi
nation 10 stand by the Reconstruction
measures, and maintain, if a majority c
white men of the South stand aloof an
take no part in the election; thon they ar
in favor Of placing the governing powe
in the hands Of negroes and the few white
who act with them.
Both the President and Secretary Nc
Culloch are in favor of Sherman's pre-
posed FIVE per cent. loan bill.
