West Indla Correspondence.
SANTO DOMINGO CITY, Aug. 11, 1865.

It was with , peculiar satisfaction that I
witnesaed the third and last evacuation of
thisold city by the Spaniards, on- the mor-
ning of the 11th ult. This greatbumilia-
.itonin again being forced to quit the coun-
try they discovered, colonized and held more
than three centuries the first time, after such
sacrifices of life and treasure in this last cf-
fort to.retaln, couldnot but have excited
some little sympathy had: it not beer. for the
barbarous, and almost inhuman conduct of
the Capt.«General-’ at the close ; in which he.
was too readily assisted byisome of his sub-
ordinates. Such petty malice and‘cruelty
woulddisCraCe any .peOple pretending to
civilization, to say nothing of Chriitiauity,
of which-they prefesssomucb. '

After the disgraceful failure of this great
. Monte Christie expeditiou, in which-he had
a larger-force than Gen. Scott had’wlleu he,
'took the ,Cityof Mexico; Spain decided to.
abandon the Island, and he was- ordered to
cease hostilities. - ' Hoping‘to overcome in
some measure the disgl’race that would at-
tach to his military fame, he endeavored to
obtain from the Dominican Governments
treaty, acknowledging ‘a debt to Spain for
all the expenses of mower—their adminis-
tration Of . the Government during‘ their oc-
cupation, and the improvements made; and
further, not to dispose of the countiy, or any
part of it without the intervention and con-
sent of, Spain. He drew up such a treaty,
and for some reasons yet unexplained, the
Commissioners of the Dominican Govern-
ment signed it,.although entirely at variance
with their instructions; which treaty was
returned immediatelywitbout ratification
and, the Commissioners recalled. Proper
explanation‘was made by..the Dominican
Government, and other.CommissiOners ap-
pointed, but the Cant". General refused to
receive them, or listen to any other terms,
than those contained in the treaty; threat-
ening to renew the war, and blockade the
whole coast if that treaty, “pure and simple,”
was not ratified; and after allowing sum?
cient time for them .to communicate with
their Government issued his. proclamation to
that effect. In his chagrin at his disappoint-
ments and failures he sought revenge in a
manner peculiarly Castillian, and reminds
us of the dark days of the Spanish Inquisi-
tion; and of the abOminatiOns and crtrelties
of the militaryand ecclesiastical authorities
of that eventful period. After shipping of
some of the heaviest brass cannon that be-
longed to the Republic,hfe' spiked all the
others; broke up all the carriages; destroy-
ed nearly all the material of war; mutila-
led the palace; and'finally’, as he was about
to embark, seized between forty and fifty
persons of the first families here; men, w0-'
men and children, and hurried them off to a
ship, of war iu_tli_e roads, during a dark and
stormy“ni‘ght',"'t6‘ be heldVaS hostages for
prisoners of war. The vicissitudes of war
had'throwu a large execss Of prisoners into
the hands of the Dominicans; and without
waiting to see if they were willing to ex-
change them upon the terms agreed upon in
the treaty, which had been rejected by them
upon other grounds as explained; he arrest-
ed these innocent- persons who had been liv-
ing here during all the occupation, and in
friendly and confidential intercourse with
the Spaniards generally; and gave orders
that they shouldgbe treated as prisoners of

 

l

velunteered to take the place ,of the ladies,
Which he refused with some insolent re-
marks. The foreign Consuls then interceded,
and offered all the guarantees in their pOwer,
that the exchange of prisoners shoald be
made according to the terms of the rejected
treaty—“a mutual exchange without regard
to rank or numbers,” whiCh'he also refused;
and they were sent Off to Pete Rico and
kept there on board the .s’hipl2days; when
they being advised thatthe'Spanish prison-
ers in the interiOr had been brought in and
were ready for the exchange, they were re-
thrned here and delivered up. 141 Demini-
cans for 326 Spaniards; leaving about 50
who absconded, preferring to remain in the
Island; And thus was con'cluded the last
act Of Spanish occupation and rule in this .
hitherto unfortunate country; and another
of the grand European schemes to profit by
the Americanjwa'r‘to restore monarcbisl pow-
er ln place ofoneof the, American Repub-
lics, was frustrated, with terrible loss and
with deep humiliation and disgrace. The
Captain " General of Cuba, who had com-
mand of all the military and ' naval forces-
after the evacuation, took no notice of Gen-
eral Gandara’s declaration. of war and block-
ade; but has permitted the intemuurse be-
tween the Islands to continue as though
nothing had occurred to interrupt the friend-
ly intercourse. ' .
On the afternoon of the day, the Spaniards
left here, the Dominican forces (it would be
rediculousto call it an army) entered the city
and took possession. A more wretchedly
clad and inefficiently equipped force ever be-
fore accOmplished so much as they have
done. But a few of them had shoes upon
their feet; a considerable portion without
bats, for which some substituted handker-
chiefs, others a piece Of cloth; and their
clothing (if the rage that were barely suffi-
cient to cover their nakedl'less could be call~
ed such), was Of‘every cenceivablc color and
description. About one half bad muskets of
different patterns and lengths, and the other
half had the bayonets fixed on long poles as
lenses. All however had the long machettc
which has been such a terrOr to the Span-
iards. [What they‘lacked to discipline they
made 'up in order and good ' behaviour. As
they formed upon the Plaza de Armae, to
receive the congratulations of their Com-
manderzin-Chie‘f, Iiregretted I had not made
an arrangement with an artistto take a Pho-
tographic view Of the scene to' Send to Her,
Catholic Majesty, that she might see the ma-
that had fought; and command ber
well-disciplinedttroope of so muCh ancient
fame, in so- many battles ; and finally after a
two yeals and a half struggle, obliged them
to quit the country. . Surely,- there never
was so unequal a contest more fairly and
honorably won; and I cannot but cherish
the hope that they will now profit by their
dear-bought experience, and'enablisb a good
and permanent Government that will in-
duce immigration, todevelop theresources
of the country. The Provisional. Govern-
}ment have made a good beginning, and all
now looks promising? More ,of' .the. Spin-
ish doubleons nemsmferecmonem P00

.secutive months. With few cxceptipns, all

_mers and mechanics from the towns sud vil-'

and there is an active business being done
with the people of the country. Many of
the owners of the mahogany and “gum-
vittetimber lands, who have. been shut up
here in the city during the war, have gone
to look after the wand they left cut, and
commence cutting again. ' '

In my own affairs, the Provisional Gov-
ernment is very favorably disposed, but I do
not intend makingany move , until? a” Gov--
eminent is permanently gestublishe‘d.’ The?
Agent of the American West India ECom'pa-'~
ny has returned here-and is about to coni-
mence operations again ; and as alll the re; ‘
strictions‘ imposed "upon emigrants by the
Spaniards have been removed, I think there
may be many induced to settlehere. 'Ma'n‘yi
farmers and mechanics with large families,
who can just manage to live infi llol'tbern
climate, couldlay up money here, and Winn
out working hard. There are no winter-Sta
provide for, and vegetation ls_perpetual.-'-r
Three crops of corn are frequently produ-
ced upon one piece of ground in twelve don-

the vegetables known in the United States
may be had every month in the year,’and
there are some others, not known ‘at the
North, equally valuable.‘andiuconstant sup-
ply. Of fruits, although there are some
very choice kinds, much valued in the U. 8.,
yet they cannot be compared with those of
Northern States, taken asawhole. Some
are in perpetual bearing, others have their
seasons of three, six and eight months of the
year. The seasons of Some may be prolong-
ed, and the quality much improved by pru-
ning and grafting. Meats are abundant and
cheap.- Beef is retailed through the country
towns and villages at5cents. Poultry is
raised with very little care. and prOportion-'
ately cheap. vHoney and wax are found in
great quantities. The former is used as a
substitute for sugar in the country, and the-
latter furnishes the people with light. There
are also great quantities of wax exported.
The chief drawback to prosperity is, the
climate conduces to laziness, and the facili-,
ties of providing the necessaries of life are

lent habits, soon yield to its influences. 'If
this Company pursues the proper course, in‘
obtaining practicable and industrious far-

lages in the Northern States—friends and
neighbors who will be society and assistance
to each other, they will confer a great bene-
fit upon them, as well as to this country.

I attended them in their last illness, liuried

Hill, and had each grave apprOpriutely mark-
ed. Private Marsh of Co.'D, also lies: near i
the place of our ' beantifnlcamp; tlle28tll~ '
boys will remember it well. I also visited
the Cemetery at Pensacola City, when: no-
disturbed lies the body of another friend and
comrade John E. Hoyt, Co. A, 28th Regt.
Norwalk, died Feb. 23d, 1863, aged 21.—
Very many of the 7th Vermont and the 28th
Maine are here interred. '

Pensacola was a waste, most of the build-
ings burned, fences gone and tall grass lux-
uriantly waving in the streets. ’ I saw a par-
ty of cavaliers ride thrOugb theruined dwel-
lings of Major Chase, Sec. Mallory, Gonza-
lez and others. On the day of my visit an
attempt was made to hold a meeting, in order
to engineer one of the sham State recon-
structions, so commOu in. this humbug coun-
try. It was happily frustrated by a military
order.

A hasty visit to Fort Pickens, Fort Gaines,
and Mobile City, finished my trip, and brought
me back to my pleasant work at the Colony.
I happened to be in Mobile at the time of the
great explosion, it was really fearful. I was
never before under fire, though so long with
the army. Shells were flying, Minie balls
raining, shot flowing, and great buildings
crumbling as if the city was being assailed
by a fleet of Uncle Sam’s Monitors. I was
glad to see and help our noble Christian and
Sanitary Commission workers, who were
busy relieving the sufi'ering.

Here on Bayou Lafourcbe, we are re-
joicing in the prospect of a fine crop; Cot-
ton, Cane and all are looking well. I have
over 60 acres of the first, and nearly 300 in
all. \ A few work bands, with the help of 0111'
invalids, cripples, old people and children,
have done all this in less than four months.
If cotton keeps up, we hope to make most

of the G0vernment expenses for thesupport

of the poor colonists. It is all humbug to .'
say these people will not work. Old men

and women of 60 and 70 years, even past 80,

have planted from one to four acres, doing

most of the work with a hoe. Young girls

of sixteen to twenty, have good fields of

corn by their own unassisted labor. Several

of the men have from one half to two acres

 

and occasionally a tobacco patch too. I re-
fer to their own pieces, worked in their own
time. All who can work are requiredto
give the government ten boureaday from
Monday to Friday inclusive, and with some
watching, this time isgenerally secured, all
over the ten hours, and all the Saturday is
their own. ' ' -
It will be interesting, when the cropfs
gathered, to see-how Well these lazy folks
have done. or course many are proud,- la-
zy, dirty, and dishonest, but the proportion
is not greater than among the ignorant and
neglected of our own- color, who are not
therefore denied the means of Self-protection
and resmct. Sufirage and M meet be giv- ,
so to the black man, or sadder scans: than
we have ever before known me-cometo the
South. ”It is silly to‘arghe tbdtiithe negro

such, that some strangers, of naturally indo-IV ' ‘

«M: d

of cotton, besides two to five acres of corn, ,

leges. The folly and madness of Governor
Wells, the New Orleans 12mm, and the like,
will doubtless ensure and hasten the good
time coming. I wish you could look in upon
us and see the old people and cripples ma-
king brooms, mats, baskets, horse-collars, etc.
The able-bodied hauling wood, weeding and
gathering" cotton, and pulling'fodder. And
then our 168 children, how, they can sing!
’The Golden Chain and Anniversary Hymn
’BOOk are both hammer to ‘ them. The same
pieces I_loved to teach the Sunday School
children of Fairfield 00., are 'sung sweetly
by th'eSe duyky little ones. Our week-flay
‘and Sabbath Schools are ,fioilrishing. Iftlme
allowed a more full report, it might stir up
your churches and; people to send them the
"books, prints, 'and'clOthing so much needed,
for I well-know the liberal things devised in
old Norwalk and vicinity.

I must not conclude without hearty thanks
for the ever-welcome Gazette,whicb even pier-
‘ cee the darkness of this old Bayou,where hor-
rors untold have been perpetrated, and where
now the oppressn holds his head proudly,
hoping for the lash, the blood-hound, and the
.shackels to return. Let the Patriot and the
Christian hope f00.‘ God is very strong !
