Medical men and the Gospel of Salvation in island regions
From Irish dispatches rebellion is quelled but party strife persists. Union plans reemerge in Irish papers as a focal political issue. Holt’s capture starts a wave of depredations by Maguire and followers, with several criminals seized. Evacuation of St Domingo sparks talk of a Black general leading a large free colored army. Freedmen must contract five years with masters, keeping four fifths of produce to cover subsistence. A Black colony may form under British protection, with Hedouville replaced.
