| election in the third congressional district

RICHMOND, Nov. An exciting republi
can meeting was held at the headquarters OF
the blacks last night. A committee was
appointed to wait on Gen. Schofed and re,
quest him to order city election. Lewis
Londsar, (coloredl delegate to the conven,
ton, made speech in which he alluded 10
the discharge of negroes for voting the rad
ical ticket. He said before any of his chill
dren should suffer for food, the streets OF
Richmond should run knee deep in blood.
He thanked God that the negroes had learn
ed to use swords and guns. All efforts of the
more peaceable negroes to stop these de
| monstrations were wildly hooted down. The
citizens are apprehensive of trouble.
NEW YORK, Nov. ll.-By arrival from
St. Thomas we have particulars of the great
hurricane which lasted, about four hours,
tearing up trees, lifting houses from their
foundations and dashing them to pieces.
Ships, steamers and smaller vessels were
dashed together and sunk. Fifty or sixty
vessels lying ashore were dismasted or sunk,
and q number of the crews lost. Thousands
on shore are homeless and suffering. The
| excitement is very great. 1t is estimated
| the losses must be immense. During the
storm the Rhone struck on Settlers Island,
| her boiler exploded and all on board were
| lost with the exception of II or Is. The
Conway was thrown on Toratola Island, and
all hands were saved. Nothing definite in
regard to the other Islands has come to
hand, with the exception of Toratola oi
which reports say that the town was totally
DESTROYED, and a number of lives lost. The
steamer Columbian come III at about i
O'Clock and at o'clock was sunk and six
persons lost. Her cargo was valued at from
one million to two million dollars. The
| track of the hurricane seems to have been
narrow as the Mormon from Rio and the
North America from New \ ork arrived the
day after and neither having experienced
| more than n stiff breeze.

RACINE, Wis.,, Nov. H. A great fire has
been raging for several days past, in the
woods north of Racine, and almost the whole

OF the railroad track, is ablaze. Several
houses and barns, with other property, have
been destroyed. The people of that section
are out fighting the fire, but with little or no
success, the extreme drought causing every
thing in the path of the fire to burn like tin
der. The loss is already estimated at from
$25, 200 to 100000.
