A letter from st. Thomas, dated the 22d in
slant, gives some particulars Of the recent up
rising Of the negroes on the island Of st. Croi1.
On tho outskirts Of the town on every hand, are
seen blsckened walls and ruins Of what were
once spacious residences On every side, too,
were burned, fields with here and there
patches Of green corn too wet to burn, although
the negroes did everything in their power to
destroy 1t. The brutality Of the negroes was
horrible. On tho second night the mob arrived
at the Grove Place estate, and about 10 Of the
estate laborers, the latter attempted to save
something, and refused to join the rioters, when
they were shut up In an Enclosure used for
storing megass, upon which kerosene oil was
poured and set on fire. Three or four escaped,
and are now lying horribly MANNED in hos
pital. The charred remains Of the remainder
are silent witnesses Of the truth Of the story.
This act Of cruelty towards their own people,
shows what little chance there was for any who
opposed them after their passions had been
fully aroused. The whole business portion OF
the town Of the west end is mass Of ruins,
Tho people have lost all they possessed, and
men and women heretofore in good circum.
stances, are now clad in motley and mishtting
garments. There Is still 3 great variety OF
opinions In regard to the causes Of the outbreak
Good reasons for dissatisfaction on the part Of
the negroes existed. and yet none which were Of
SUFFICIENT importance to excite them to such
deeds Of violence.
