JAMAICA, Monday, Nov The r?surrection which broke out i weeks since, in the Parish of St. Thora the East/ has been put down. Most o ringleaders and chiefs of' 'the move through whose guilty agency the blacl fiants were incited to rise, have been cs ed, tried, convicted and-summarily exec Martialjlaw is still iu ibrcc, but all danj considered past. The insurgents have put down, with short, sharp'and dec blows, and at least fifteen hundred of .1 deluded wretchos have suffered' the po: of outraged law. It may interest your readers to ha brief account of the circumstances u which tho insurrection began. The firsi turbanco of the peace occurred on thc 7 October last, in the Pariah ol' St. Thom; the East, when a prisoner was rescued I the distract jail by a mob. -This was fol cd by a series of violent acts, and the : day the ; Governor, at Spanish Town, called upon by tho authorities tb send tr for their protection, aa the movement likely to become a formidable rebel! These fears were well grounded.- It was known that ever since the beginning of year'a set of men baye beer, at work so? thc seeds of disaffection among the peast ry, using their prejudices, and their fane is well as their actual' wrongj-to excite tl igainst thc authorities. Associations W forraod in St. Thomas in the East, under lirection of .1 malcontent named Gran saddler by trade, a jnan of considerable 1 ind influence ns a local politician. Ann ?he principal leaders was thc pastor of a *ro chapel at'Stoney Gut, named Paul Boj it whose place of worship the associat ion \ iccustomed to hold their treasonable mi n?s._.From every one who became a rn? ?er of this secret society; an oath of seen ?vas extorted, and a compliance with combination, under pain of immediate dea Ft is generally believed that these misguic people have been "swearing iu" their 0 :lsss" all round the country for several mon last, and secretly taking the life of every c ipou whom they had thc slightest s?spici ?f beiug inkonstant.? Men were sent for ittend their meetings at the chapel at, Stor, ?ut, and were then and there required alee the oath that had been prepared I .hem, or told that they would be killed if th lid not do so at once. According to the stories of prisoners talc, n the.rebellion, it would appear that t 19th of O.ctcber had been fixed upon by t :onspirators for a general uprising of t! alacks, and the indiscriminate slaughter ,he white population. The rescue ot a pri mer, already alluded to, hastened tho ou weak, precipitated hostilities before thc lea ;ra had completed their arrangements for simultaneous rising. The circumstances ,his reserve was as fellows : At the Court Petty Sessions, held at Morant Bay, Octob< T, a man named George Geohegau waa 0 lered under arr?st by the magistrates fi seating a disturbance in tho court-roon Tho officers were, however, set upon by Pai logie, and about^a hundred of his follower irmed with "sticks, ?n?T'Ge?F?gan. y^?^Boo daefcd beyond their reach. Thc police wer ??verely beaten, and were not strong errOtfg o enforce tho orders of tho court.- A day c wo afterward, Bogle and Geohegan appear :d in the court-room, and attempted to brow >eat the magistrates, who forthwith ordorei heir arrest. A force of Seven policemei ind three-constables were sent to make th ?apture. On reaching Stouy Gut, the negri ;ettleinent where Bogel's chapel stands, the] ixhibitcd their warrant to Boele, and tole rim he must go along with them. Insteat >f conipljing, Bogle blew a shell, which wai mswercd from throe or four directions, ano n a lew moments the policemen were sur ounded by a mob of two or three hundret wiling, frantic negroes, by whom three 0: hera were taken prisoner.H'and put in irons L'hc negrees held their prisoners until thej jave a sort of parole, when they were libera ce!". No personal i nj u ry > was inflicted. During the next three days the excite nen: at Stoney Gut continued to increase, jarge numbers of negroes continued to flock .here. A mixture of rum and gun-powder vas handed about among them, and of this hoy drauk until madness overcame every oeliug of huinanify and prudence. On the 11th, a force of about five hundred rebels, irmed with rifles, cutlasses and clubs, under SOmmand of Paul Bogle, made a furious at :ack on the government buildings at Morant ?a)\ A detachment of volunteers hastily gathered to defend thc place, were compell ed, after firing onco or twice, to seek shelter a the court house, where they barricaded :hemselves against thc rebels. Finding them selves unable to dislodge the military, the 11'surgents began to plunder tho private louses, and attacked every citizen who ven ,ured to show himself in thc streets. . . On their way tb the court-house; they re eased some fifty-one prisoners from thc Mo rant Bay, District prison, took the polico itation, and seized the aims that were there, md armed themselves with stones from the prison yard, which prisoners had been en gaged in breaking there. They steadily ad vanced on the volunteers; a man (whom I was not near enough to recognize) being ia front, daucing some African war dance, and flourishing a stick. The Baron, by advice, then read the Riot Act ; but while that was going, on the mob began to pepper the vol unteers with stones and bottles and brick bats. It was not until then that the order wes given to fire, as thc Baron exercised the most extraordinary forbearance toward the tumult. The volunteers fired ; numbers of tho mob were wounded and carried- off by the, rebels, wjiile only three or four dead bod ies were all that were left upon the ground when thc rebels had "retreated. When tho first volley had befn fired, we all retreated within thc courthouse, where we barricaded ourselves for the time. "We. were here as sailed by hundreds of stones and brickbats that came showering from the windows. Th? volunteers then picked off from the windows men who appeared at intervals to shower in volleys of stones, and in this way they man aged for a time to keep the rob?is at a dis tance. 'Finding their men picked off by tho vol unteers from the windows of the court-house, and fearing to approach by the front, they retreated from the fquare to plunder a store for ammunition. At this juncture, a few of the volunteers who had been secreted below, made their way to the top dbor for admission, and findiag the square cleared, I was, as by inspiration, instinctively induced to leave, committing.myself to the c?re of an overrul ing Providence, and made good mj^ escape. Dr. Gerard waa drawn from his place of concealment and'was about to bo struck down' when he exclaimed, "I am Dr. Gerard," pod the murderers desisted'. Ho had, however, nd influence to save any one: Mr. Ratty, who clung tb him, was torn away and des patched under his eyes. Mr. Hitchins, faint and horribly mutilated, staggered Cowar the Doctor and,. with his arra around 1 neck, could only gasp out, " I am weat, Dc tor ; I can scarcely stand." Whilst he sta in this position'the savages were striking in his back and heck with their cutlasses, ai Dr. Gerard, could feel tho rebound of (J blows. At last the unfortunate gentlemi relaxed his..hold-of.'the. Doctor, and sui down literally hacked to pieces. Whilo the.Custos and oth?r g?ntlemc were in the-fi?urt House his Honor displayc the utmost abnegation, of self and onl thought of. tho safety of those, with hit Addressing.

I cannot, in a aingle letter, trace the insurr ection through the different towns and settle nents of the island. A perfect reign of ter or prevailed everywhere. Tho most dread ul rumors were everywhere prevalent. The ?ork of plunder and murder weat on for sev rai days, almost without hindrance, for there ras no concert of action among the whites, ,nd it was impossible for the inhabitants of ne village to communicate with those of an ther, the roads being everywhere held and ;uarded by the insurgents. But dh the 12th he troops sent for by the Baron arrived from ipnnish Town at Morant Bay. Immediato neasures were taken to put down the insur ants. From Morant Bay the troops were march d toward the interior, where tho rebel forces vere assembled., -Of courso they had no egular organization, nothing that could be ailed an army ; but throughout the parish hoy- had established camps, where they ;athered stores of provisions plundered from he whites. Their war cry was death to the rhito man, and tho atrocities they practiced ipou thc defenceless citizens were beyond all lescription. The presence of the military put an end 0 thoso outrages, and seemed to quell thc pirit of the rebels. The first insurgent aken prisoners were tried and immediately inng. These summary measures had the iffect to induce great numbera to throw away heir arms and surrender themselves, at the arno time asking for protection against the nilitary and their own friends. ' Most of them vere*at once handed over to tho magistrates. iVberever the troops marched the rebels dis iersed at once, and arresting, and punishing, ather than fighting, became the duty of the nilitary. George Gordon, a mulatto man, Paul and Hoses Bogle, negroes, old Buie the " Captain Seneral," and some eight or ten ?f the other mister spirits of the insurrection, were tho irst to suffer death, br'hanging, in expatia ion of their hellish crime. p The Jamica Standard, of the 20th Oct., lays : " It may not be altogether uninterest ng to your readers to know that slightly jver oue thousand dabk-skinned rebels have leen hanged and shot in the parish of St. Thomas in the East up to date; and it is not it all unlikely that ere tho different courts nartial close their sittings there will be far iver two thousand who will have paid the ional ty of their vile attempt to exterminate ?he white races of. this island. And it is even said by some that ten thousand of the insur rectionists will sufFer. death before the Court doses its sessions.. There is one continual scene ot hanging lay by day, and it becomes a matter for con sideration, whether the burial of so many peo ple, packed, as I heard a blu'o jacket say, 1 like sardines," in tke toVn, is not likely to produce some serious epidemic here-already the effluvium of the dead bodies commences to taint the atmosphere. Last night, partic ularly, disagreeable effluvia, arising from tho graves in which these dead bodies arc inter red, pervaded the entire town, and it was.not without difficulty (hat one could avoid getting nauseated. This oughj to ho looked after, [t is a matter of vital importance. A PLOT TO DURN KINGSTON". Among the treasonable documents recently captured by tho authorities, in their search since the outbreak in St. Thomas in the Sast, is a plan of Kingston, said to have bees pre pared under tho direction of Gen. Laraothe, the Haytion refugee. The plan presents tho point?t which the ' city waa to be fired-the . points to which it was expected the authorities would Tepair -? the points at which the massacre was to com- ' menee from, and the points at which posts were to be stationed, so as to cut off the flight of those who escaped to tho roads leading out ? of the city. The conspirators were .to await thc arrival of thc troops at the 'Scene, of con flagration, and then c u a given signal were to seize the camp, the barracks, thc arsenal and the batteries ; there was to have followed- a grand massacre ia every street from both ends, every houso being ontered and searched. THE PLAN FOU A GENERAL HISING. From all that can be gathered, it appears that the outbreak at Morant Bay was prema ture. It was to'have commenced on Christ mas eve, aud was to have been general throughout the island. In support of this, it is strange that a verification of this informa tion should have bee? elicited from a* priso uer in the General Penitentiary. A man named Anthony, who was . ono, of the live prisoners brought from Moncklands, and sen tenced to seven years in Wie General Peni tentiary, being overheard using seditions lan guage, was sent-to camp along with a priso ner belonging to this city, and named Elbert Bayley, who. carried on the seditious conver sation with Anthony. . A part pf the conver sation of Anthony was to the following effect : " We blackpeople never malro anything go straight, Webreak oat too hoon ; we were to have come to town sometime about races or Christmas." . " Such was the comprehensive plan which had been matured for a new revolution' and a new massacre of tho whites. The island is now comparatively tranquil igain ; but wo cannot but feel that we are sleeping upon a volcano, which at any mo ment may break forth and overwhelm us with fearful ruin. The Shenandoah. The liberation of the captain and cfew of iie Shenandoah is said to have been uncon ditional, the British Government being of jpinion that there.aro no legal grounds upon ?vbich they could be detained. "Prom tho Liverpool Courier, Nov. 9. We are informed that the order for parole was received by Captain Paynter, of the Donegal, early in the afternoon, and that inmediately after it was communicated to Captain .Waddell. Captain Waddell then :dme ashore, arid had ai interview with some Southern gentlemen, after which he returned 0 his ?hip and paid off and discharged the , ?rew. At seven o'clock thc men left tho shenandoah in the Rock Ferry Company's (teamer Bee, and at eight o'clock they were anded upon thc George's landing stage. But ew spectators were present, to witness tho irrival of thc ?rew so renowned for their ex jloits, owing doubtless to the fact their pa olo was not known even to themselves until 1 short time before their landing. Each of hem brought on shore a large quantity of uggage, and lucy appeared to have no lack )f money-facts which appeared .. to attest hat their long cruise has not been unreward ;d. The news of their arrival soon spread, md crpwdd of persons collecting on the ?tage brined themselves into groups arouud tho ;ailors and endeavored to draw them into ionver?ation. These attempts, however, arely succeeded, and when they did, it was : vident that the men spoke rather to ?vade luriosity than to satisfy it. The men, indeed, .ppeared to be themselves quite in the dark arto:tht'ir--portion, .and^thcuih. under the mprosslon mat tUcy liad don? wiifa'?h? susrf landoah for good and all, appeared to labor mder a fear of committing themselves or heir officers by some rash statement. Some ?f them eagerly questioned the bystanders as o what the English people thought ot the shcuandoah, and two or three of them ex cessed the greatest surprise that the officers if that vessel should even have been sus )ected of pursuing their work of destruction 7ith a knowledge of thc termination of the var. The men, though exhibiting a marked , eticence on matters connected with the dis cipline of the ship, speak freely of the cir iumstancea which lcd the Shenandoah to orminatc her privateering career, namely, ! he meeting with the ship Barrac?la, which, he crew are unanimous in alleging, as the irst Source through which reliable informa ion was received of the termination of the ?ar. Many of the crow of the Shenandoah are .liverpool men, and these immediately on . leiug landed drove off to their homes. The non declare that they aro at perfect liberty o do what they choose, and that their dis harge is unconditional. At ali events, they lave been paid oil' in American dollars, and ? nany of them will no doubt be on their way 0 other parts of the country. Captaiu Waddell, in a letter to Earl Bus ell, which is published, 6ays : " In obedience to orders I found myself jn J he Arctic and Ochotsk Seas, far removed < rom the ordirJary channels of commerce, md in consequence of this awkward circum itnncc, I was engaged in acts cf war until tho 58th of June. I was ignorant of the reverses uSered by the Confederates, and the total ? ^literation of the^ government under which 1 acted, I received the first intelligence of ? he downfall of thc Confederate cause, on he 2d of August, from tho British bark Bar acota, and desisted immediately from further Lets of war until I could communicate with i European port, and learn if tho intelligence vas true. I could not have been sensible hat tho tales told by American ships were .rue, but merely upon the statement of a Jritish captain I diligently sought for a pre :edent in law writers for guidance in the fu .ure control, management, and final disposal >f the vessel, bat found none. Finding the luthority questionable under, which I acted, '. immediately ceased cruising and shaped her iourse for the Atlamic. I did not feeljusti ied in destroying the vessel, but on the con wry thought the ship should .revert to the Imerican Government. I therefore, sought Liverpool to learn the.news, and, if without bandation, to surrender the ship, with the ;uns, stores and apparel complete, to the British Government, for such disposition as t should Seem proper." The Shenandoah was surrendered to the Imerican Consul ou tho 10th, who took formal jossession, and placed her under Captain Freedman and a crew of his own selection, ;o convey the ship to New York. . . . A GAY AMERICAN %\Y SEVENTY ELOPES WITH JIN ENGLISH. MAIOKN.-Recently the peace of a very respectable tradesman's fam-. ly in North Shields, was suddenly broken by ;he unexpected disappearance of an only ? laughter. It-subsequently transpired, from ;he information which thc-young lady had., rived to the. servant, whom she seems to have: mado herconfidadte, that she bad eloped on: Saturday morning with, an American gentle man. The gentleman, we believe; was dis tantly related to the lady's^ family, Ad. had been for a long time in America, where he . had amassed a considerable fortune. ...Several months ago he carno home, and resided fora few dnys with his friends at North Shields when it would appear that marriage was pro posed to the lady's parents, but they most decidedly set thoir Faces against the alliance.

We are' of'tho impression, judging from tu* numerous inquiries which are daily pro- r pounded.' that ths nature and object of thr Direct Tax now being collected by tHe United States Commissioners, are not' thoroughly v understood but by a few of our people. In fact, many persons ' at the -North who claim * ' no small degree Of intelligence, are unable . to day to giveevea-a tolerably well-defined : explanation of the subject. For the enright '. tenment" of those of out readers who may take an interest in the matter We will state - that in August, 186k Congress.-levied ?-?i- ' rect Tax of $20,000,000 upon lands' and houses in the several States , of the Union. This Tax was for the- purpose- pf "defraying the expenses of the war. " All tho. States were accorded the privilege of assuming their proportion of the Tax and paying the samo at once. In consequence of the Btruggle the Tax could not bo collected inthe States com prising the late Confederacy, and, at the cbs- - sationof hostilities, aa^many of us wcllknowj the Government provided means f?t securing thp amount due, under the penalty of for feiture of property should tbVpa'rties assess?, od fail te comply with the regulations. Of the amounts claimed from the Southern States under the head of the Direct Tax of - 1861, Virginia is set down for $937,550.66}' '.

If thc State should have the privilege of assuming tho debt it would bp a benefit, not ;only to ourselves, but thc country at large.-Charleston Courier. f ? ? . A CASE or PARDPN.-A clergyman of thu . city, a relative of Gen. Elliott, of South:. Carolina, who defended Fort Sumter, receive! a l?ttcr lately from him stating that be wu at Port Royal, supporting his family.by fish ing, and ho requested the clergyman to en deavor to procure bia pardon. It will be re." membered that Gen. Gillmore commanded the land attack on the fort. To facilitate the case, for such pardons are granted slowly, as an act of graceful courtesy from one brave soldier to another, and as a deed which would w exert a most happy influence, tho clergyman wrote to Gen. Gillmore, saying that if he would go in his barge acrossthe bay he would seo a" ?noiTcrtnna'a -luafc" " wn?

Gillmore at once responded, thanking; tho clergyman for the suggestion, and send* . ing a letter to the President, asking the par don as a personal favor. The clergyman saw the President a few days ago, and the pardon is granted, and will be sent, to him as soon as it can be hastened through the necessary official bureaus. This pardon, the Attorney- " General told the- clergyman, will secure to Gen. El Iiott^he immediate restoration of his lands close to which his fishermairYhut now stands.-Baltimore Sun. IMMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH.-Tho New York Jflcrold of the 15th says: We.see that among the immigrants arriving here a considerable number are bound directly for the Southern States. There are parties whose , destinations were fixed before they left Eu rope, and who do not include the immigrants who came here without any settled plans, and who were subsequently influenced to proceed in the same direction? The fact is a significant one, and is full of promise for. .. . the South. It is well known that but few immigrants arrive here without bringing some Httlejcapijal with them, and no doubt, most of those who started with the idea of settling in the restored States are provided with larger sums than usual. ' At the South the amounts which they bring "will, in gold, purchase.ten times the land which they could buy at the North for the sanie money., Thus-' we shall havo introduced at once intp the Southern Stater, an-agricultural element that' * will replace negro labor, and that hy its in troduction of capital will also replace all that _ has been lost-by the war.. There is at this time a gentleman from the Southwest stopping at the Charleston Hotel, who informs us that he has made an arranger ment at the North for thc cultivation of ona thousand acres of cotton land by fifty. Swedish laborers. He says that, this, plan is - being largely odopted in Tennessee, Alabama, Mis sissippi and Arkansas. He also informs us . that Northern capitalists are.readily advanc ing capital for the purpose of planting .on share* ; that societies are formed that furnish labor for a commission, and that the effect has already been to advance lands that four, months ago could have been easily bought for - . $20, to $60 an acre.-Charleston News. ,.,??? ; A PLEASANT -PROSPECT.-A contemporary says that a great many Republican papers, some of them hitherto classed as radical, ar? expressing themselves* well satined with- ; President Johnson and his policy If they aro satisfied without .hangings, proscription?, j confiscations,-enforced negro-suffrage, and' the destruction of State equality and are ready for the restoration ef tho South- td its position in the Union wilbe rt any of those '.gu?ranteos" which Thad.
