Active Pursuit of the Rioters by Sol- diers and Volunteers. | LABOR LAWS THAT CAUSED THE TROUBLES. Sr. Taomas, Oct. 9, 1878. By one of those strange outbreaks peculiar to the tree colored laboring population of the Weat Inaia Islands—tortunately not very frequent, yet, when , bhey do come, fouriuily di ous in their charactor—~ the beautiful isiand of St, Croix bas been brought to the verge of ruin, [bat a worse story 1s not to be told, and one that would appal Christendom, may be atiributed to the evident absence of premeditation aad preparation on the partot the negroes, It is, however, bad enough as it is, and, though the entire detalis are yet to be learned, I send you the priacipal facts as they have trauspirea. THe INITIATORY OUTBREAK. ‘The lst of October is tho day on which the labor Boatracts are atanend. Un that day the nogroes are at liberty, and go from estate to es:ate to form new engagements, or flock into the towns of Christiansted (Commonly known as Bassin) and Frederi«sted (al- , Ways calied West End), On Tuesday, Uciober 1, it Was noticed that a larger number of laborers were in ‘West End, and the people now say they had a surly, determined air about them. The town rejoiced in the Possession of nine policemen and three soldiers, About midday a haudfal of laborers, getting drunk, Degan to make a row, and on beimg met by two police- men they resisted and the poilcemen had to run for the fort. Here they armed themselves, and, coming ut, ordered the mob, then cousisting of about Ofty, lo disperse. The mob jeerod and threw some stones, mben a couplo of blunk shots wer fired from the fort, The mob rushed on the police, who, firimg again with " Sullete, wounded « few. About this time one Mr, Foutaine, a planter, arrived irom the country and at- \empted to push bis way tbreugn the crowd, He was bemmed fn, and then attempted to draw his revolver, At this one of the mob struck him over the temple with a large bar, fclling bim senseless to the ground, One OF two woite men rushed in, and the mob allowed the insonsivle ‘body to be removed te the house ef one Mr. John Moore. [1 Was sow getting toward dos! but still tho mob bad not begun to burv. They contented them- Selves with rushing from piace to pluce rum. Is was evident they felt tuey bad complete charge of the town. Mr. Dubois, the Kuglish Episcopal minis- ter ana British Consul, was actively engaged @ndeavoring to quiet the people. He several times g0t the mob partiy out of town, only to meet a crowd soming back, wnen all would rusb trom him aud tbe trgies reeommonce. THE BURNING COMMENCES. About eight o’cioce in the evening some one cried at, “Burn! torn!” This was toe signal, and the mov Seatsered Over the town and begun their work. Kero- pene w: sed to heip the flames and make the work more sure, Mr. Fontaine, still alive, bai. as ihe doce bor had deciared, unable to recover, wasin the house of Mr. Jouu Moore, At about eleven ut wizht his - house caught fire, and Mr, Moore, unable to yet aid, + @arried Mz. Fontaine to the garden, and there wih a pillow under his head, let him. Mr. Moore himself Need a parrow escape. He was sven, but dodged away and, getting to the beach, be remaiued in the water ap to bis chin till near morning, when he got into the “fort. Many familics bad alsv entered the fort, and the charetes and the dwelling of Mr. Dabo, the parson, eused ae places of retuge. Too muca praise cannot be aiven to Mr. Dubois Throughout whe ht he was bere and there, using his inflaence for peace. The answer to bis efforts invariabiy was:— “Go way, parson; we woa’t burt you, bat you ean’t stop avi”? Mr, Dubois managed to save the apothecary shop, which was next to bis residence, as whea the torch Was put to i¢ he rushed out and called their attention Jo their promise uot to barm him, and that the buro- Ing ol the apothecary shop would set fre to bis bouwse Toey immediately put out the fire, The Cathoue priest is said to have dove much good aizo, The mob cried out to many of the colored shopkeepers, “We ne burn you,” , but unfortunately the rum stored in the adjacent buildings leit no chance of safety to them, By morning not a store vor shop remained, Atsempts were made to get aid from Bassin, but it was only at o'clock of tho morning of Wednesday, the 2d, that pews reached there, ARRIVAL O¥ TROOPS.

Of the centre line and soath side es- tates, out of some sixty or soventy not more t are unburned. These estates, particularily those in centre line, ure the Guest in the tslagd.
