NOVEMBER 4, 1864.
Attention, Friends
of the Union
Soldiers.
The American Ladies in Honolulu, propose, on the Bth, (next Tuesday evening,)
to give a Festival and Fair for the benant of the United States Christian Commission. About one million of dollars
has already been freely contributed by
the loyal people of the United States for
this object. There is still a loud appeal for
additional funds. It is not the privilege of
Americans in Honolulu, and American shipmasters and sailors visiting Honolulu, to fight
the battles of their country, but we can and
ought to evince our interest in the cause of
the Union and Liberty, by generously contributing for the comfort and welfare of the
noble soldiers, bravely fighting in the ranks
of the Union Army. The men sick and
wounded, are compelled to seek temporary
homes in hopitals. Let us come forward and
generously aid those soldiers, liberally furnish
them with every possible physical, social and
spiritual comfort. Let every one claiming
the proud and honorable name of American,
come forward and show that his heart and
purse is devoted to this work. In former
years, the Sanitary Commission has received
generous contributions, —let itbe remembered >
that this object is of a kindred nature and
equally important. In many respects it it
perfectly identical. Most nobly are Americans at home now showing that they are

when Honolulu was known as the whaling
port of the Pacific. In our visits among the
shipping, we see there has been a great
change in the character ofthe crews. Formerly there was a majority of American and
European seamen, while now, the crews are
largely made up of Hawaiians, and other
Polynesians. Not a few are from Guam.
Portuguese seamen still abound. It is rare
indeed, to meet with a full crew of Americans.
It is not always that the officers are all Americans. The war and the demand for labor,
have drawn away a large proportion of American seamen.
Rev. James P. Ludlow.—Many of the
old residents in Honolulu, will remember a
young man by the name of Ludlow, who
visited this part ofthe world with Capt. Fales.
We are happy to learn that after retiring
from the sea, he commenced a course of
study preparatory to the Christian ministry,
and is now preaching in one of the Baptist
Churches of San Francisco.

Coming Events cast their Shadows ahead.
Recent news from the United States make*
known, that the state-elections go in favor of
Abraham Lincoln, for the next President.
This is as it should be. The rebellion must
and will be put down—liberty must be proclaimed throughout the land. The great
question will be decided on the Bth of November, the day of the election, whether the
American people desire Union and Liberty,
without slavery, or Union and Slavery. The
question is to be fairly put. The people understand it, and we have no fears but they
will decide right. We are not afraid of the
people and universal suffrage. That Abraham Lincoln is the man for President, instead of General McClellan, we infer from
the fact that the Richmond papers, London
Times, and similar sheets all gofor McClellan ! The Union and Loyal people of America know what they are about!
Mr. and Mrs. Brewster.—lt is a matter
of much regret to many, that Mr. and Mrs.
Brewster, should not have returned at the
time they contemplated. Instead of teaching
in Honolulu, we learn that they have sailed
for Europe, and expect to make the tour of
the Continent, spending some portion ofthe
winter months in Florence. Their return is
deferred until Spring.
It is gratifying that in their absence, other
schools afford good facilities for our children
and youth. Mrs. and Miss Smith's school,
in the valley, Miss Armstrong's, under Fort
Street Church, and others, are in successful
operation. The advantages at " Oahu College " are now of a superior order, and an
able corps of teachers is most efficiently
pushing or leading their pupils up the hill of
science and along the flowery paths of literature.

pamphlets, which they are willing to part

Surely no one ought to spnnd a day upon
the sea beach without returning a wiser and
better man. We know of no place more
suggestive of calm reflection. Children may,
will and should play, laugh, run, swim,
when they go to the spot where the long
heavy swells come rolling up the clean and
sandy beach, but it is an admirable place for
thought. Sir Isaac Newton, when congratulated on his vast discoveries, remarked ; " I
am like a child gathering shells and
pebbles round the sea-shore, that are just
kissed by the waves, while the great unsounded depths of the mighty ocean lie unapproachable beyond me." Newton would
never have drawn this reflection, unless he
had often wandered along a sea-beach. The
old Anglo-Danish King Canute was taught
a good lesson, when with his courtiers he
ordered his chair to be placed where the incoming tide soon made the whole party
scamper like a group of frightened children.
It was not man but God who had said,
" Hitherto shalt thou come, and here shall thy
proud waves be staid." When the poet
Longfellow looks out upon the sea, his musings find expression in language peculiarly
sweet and mellifluous:

board his ship and tried ; and after evidence
which seemed satisfactory as to their guilt,
sentence was passed on them, and they were
handed over to their chiefs, by whom they
were shot before a large concourse of people.
It is true that it was afterwards affirmed that
the three men who were thus killed were not

Rev. S. C. Damon, Honolulu :
Dear Sir s—You accompany the publication of my private letter to you of the 20th
of June, appearing in your issue of Friend
for this month, with some remarks which are
incorrect.
The " legerdemain" by which I have acquired a moderate-sized tract of kula land
on this dry island, is hard work fend good
management. No native of these islands
has invested a single dollar in land acquired
nnd held by me here; and I don't know of any
that have invested "in lands held by any
Mormon Church. There are no such lands
in this kingdom. A few dollars have been
given to me by natives, every one of which,
and a large amount of my own means, have
licen expended on their account. Certain
natives constituting a Mormon Society, did
design to purchase land on this island, and
collected some trifling means for that object,
but they utterly failed to carry out their
purpose.

that I might accomplish this more fully, even

sphere of my direct personal influence to
some foreign field, and where, while still sustaining myself by the pursuit of some regular
avocation, do all the good in my power in
the community with which I should identify
myself, not only by my example, but by as
much direct missionary labor as possible, in
the way of introducing the Scriptures and religious books, in Sabbath Schools and day
schools, perhaps, in every way a Christian
layman would seek to do good to his fellow
men in New York or elswhere. I have one

thousand of whom are said to inhabit this
city ? The stores are open on Sundays,
and the market squares crowded with traffickers, more busy, noisy and gay than at
any other time during the week; and, when
the day is passed, crowding to the theater, to
hear the most popular play of the week, reserved for this especial evening! Can these
poor souls be reached ? It affects my heart
strangely, to see these thronged churches,
markets and streets, and to think, that in all
this city there is not a soul to point out to
them the " way of life," not a Protestant
teacher or preacher, not a single place, not
even an upper room, where a few could be
called together for a purer worship. I never
was in a place before, not even in the so recently heathen Sandwich Islands, where, if
I desired it, I could not, some time during
the week, find an assembly of Christians.
The pall of Roman Catholicism shrouds
this fair country in a terrible darkness. How
dear to me now seem the Christian habits
and devout worship of our beloved Hawaiinns !
A SABBATH SCHOOL AND SABBATH SERVICE.
The first Sabbath that I was here I was
unwell; so on the second Sabbath I held my
first Sabbath school exercise in the office of
Judge Culver, the U. S. Minister, who very
kindly permits me the use of it for this purpose. My class was two bright little American girls, too young to read, with an outside
attendance of three adult people, who helped
in the singing, while 1 played on the flute.
I read from the Bible, and talked from the
text: Suffer little children, and forbid them
"
not to come unto me," and prayed. It was,
to me a solemn and impressive exercise.
My heart yearned all day for God's blessing
on this my first public religious effort here,
on the first Sabbath school class that had
ever met in this city.
Our numbers have since increased to
eight, and we shall, without further delay,
commence a more formal service, to which I
hope some of the English and American
adults of this place may be drawn. We are
much incommoded for the want of a suitable
room for this service, but are hoping soon to
secure the use of a hall, used as a schoolroom during the week. Judge Culver is
much interested in the development of this
work, and actively exerts himself for its advancement. He claims it as his privilege,
faithfully to recognize and represent the religious elements of the nation whose appointed minister he is to this Government. How
happy it would be to our government, could
all its foreign ministers be men of equal inWm. H. Gulick.

—This is a remark that we accidcntly heard

Presentation to the Prisidint.—The
colored people of Baltimore, desirous of testifying their appreciation of the distinguished
services of President Lincoln in the cause of
human freedom, are about to present him
with a copy of the Holy Bible, which is a
masterpiece of art and taste. It is the imperial quarto of the American Bible Society,
bound in purple velvet with heavy gold
mountings, appropriately engraved, and inclosed in a walnut case lined with white silk.
The total cost of this elegant gift is §580 76.
The inscription upon the presentation plate
is as follows :
To
AaailUM I.IKCOLHPresident of the United Slates
Tha Friend of I'niTersal Freedom,
From
The Loyal Colored People of Baltimore,
Ala token of Respect and Oratltnde.
Baltimore, 4th July 1864.
Intrinsically valuable as this gift may be,
it is of little account in comparison with the
sentiment it represents or embodies. It will
be properly appreciated by the great champion of emancipation ; it will take its appropriate place in the history of his efforts toward the accomplishment of the grand consummation in which Maryland has taken a
leading part. It will form one of the best
and proudest memorials it has ever fallen to
the lot of any public man to transmit to posterity. The expression of " the respect and
gratitude" of our colored citizens is highly
creditable to them, and we are glad to chronicle so noteworthy an occurrence.—Baltimore American.
Curious Story of a Photograph.—Whea
the war first broke out a young man belonging in this city enlisted and carried to the
field with him a photograph of his betrothed.
He was taken prisoner and confined for a
long period in the Libby prison at Richmond.
While there one of the rebel officers on duty,
happening to have seen the photograph, appropriated it and refused to return it to trie
owner. The officer seemed infatuated with
the likeness of the northern beauty ; and in
order to have opportunity to talk about her,
made himself the instrument of many kindnesses to the captive. At last the young
soldier was exchanged and in due time joined his regiment. During a recent battle he
was at the front, and seeing a rebel officer
very prominently engaged in directing his
command, the Massachusetts soldier leveled
his piece and shot the rebel commander. Our
men advanced at the same moment, and on
passing the spot where the dead rebel lay
the soldier recognized him as the officer who
had appropriated his lady-love's photograph.
The officer's pockets were searched and the
missing picture found. The above is no romance, but a veritable incident among the
many curious ones which crowd the history
of this war.—Boston Journal.
A Sailor in College.—The valedictorian
Wesleyan University, Middletown, Ct.,
Jacob W. H. Ames, Newport, N. H., at
eighteen years of age, was a sailor before
the mast, not acquainted with much more
than his letters. At twenty-four he has
graduated at the head of his class, competing
with twenty-three good scholars, all of whom,
doubtless, have enjoyed the usual educational
advantages.

“Home.”
SHwomet,
Sad Fate of Genius.—How precious few
people in the world know even the name of
the author of " Sweet Home," though its
melody has fallen upon the ear and rested on
the tongue of the million. A writer from
Washington, alluding to the lifa»of Payne,
and its vicissitudes, says:
As I sit in my garret here in Washington,
watching the course of great men, and the
destiny of party, I meet often with strange
contradictions in this eventful life. The
most remarkable was that of J. Howard
Payne, author of " Sweet Home." I knew
him personally. He occupied the rooms under me some time, and his conversation was
so captivating that I often spent whole days
in his apartment. He was an applicant for
office at the time—consul to Tunis—from
which he had been removed. What a sad
thing it was to see the poet subjected to all
the humiliations of office seeking. Of an
evening we would walk along the streets.
Once in a while we would see some family
circle so happy, and forming so beautiful a
group, that we would both stop and then pass
silently on.
On such occasions he would give a history
of his wanderings—his trials, and all his
cares incident to his sensitive nature and
poverty. " How often," said he once, " I
have been in the heart of Paris, Berlin, and
London, or some other city, and heard persons singing, or on the hand organ playing
Home," without a shilling to buy
" Sweet meal,
or a place to lay my head.

The world has literally sung my song until
every heart is familiar with its melody, yet,
1 have been a wanderer from my boyhood.
My country has turned me ruthlessly from
my office ; and in my old age I have to submit to humiliation for bread. Thus he would
complain of his hopeless lot. His only wish
was to die in a foreign land to be buried by
strangejs, and sleep in obscurity.
I met him one day looking unusually sad.
Have you got your consulate ?" said I.
" Yes, and leave in a week for Tunis ; I
•'
shall never return."
The last expression was not a political
feint. Far from it. Poor Payne! his wish
was realized, he died at Tunis. Whether
his remains have been brought to this country I know not. They should be, and if none
others would do it, let the homeless throughout the world give a penny, for a monument
to Payne. I knew him, and give my penny
for an inscription like the following:
Here lies J. Howard Payne,

and found an echo in every heart, never had a borne.

removed hunger. But I discovered that certain other food of a different quality, such as
grape sugar and fruit, would help the tired
meat to assimilate, and thus remove hunger.
Puddings and fruit tarts are not, therefore,
simply flatteries of the palate, but digestive
agents; provided, always, they are not themselves made of retielliously indigestible materials. The reviewer alludes to the fondness ofartisans for confectionery, and of patients just discharged from the hospital asking for " sweets" in preference to " good substantial food," as examples of a correct instinct. There is no doubt that in children,
in whom the requirements of growth call for
a rapid and efficient transformation of food
into tissue, the demand for sweets is very
imperious, and parents should understand
that the jampot will diminish the butcher's
bill and increase the amount of nutrition extracted from beef and mutton.

pose they had less esprit dc corps ? Do you
suppose they were less valuable as clerks ?
Do you suppose that they studied the interest of their employers less ?
Now, I do not undertake to say that every
man shall go and imitate these gentlemen;
but I do say that every reflecting man ought
to find in such an example some suggestions
which should lead him to look about and see
if there are not many things that he can do
in the care of the young that are under him.
An Hawaiian Family in the Woods.
In the afternoon, while yet some distance
from the town, we were caught in a heavy
shower of rain, and put up for the night at
some native houses on the roadside. Some
of our party here saw native domesticity for
the first time, in the country, and found it
quite different from the article they had seen
in Honolulu. The house in which we lodjfed
was of thatch, but large and clean, and divided by cloth partitions into three rooms.
The head of the family was a grayhaired
native, who with his wife, a kind, motherly
old soul, were anxious to make us as comfortable as their means would allow. They
broiled us a chicken and made tea from their
own stores, and from some hiding place the
old woman lugged forth a mysteriously tied
up bundle of white native cloth or tapa, from
which, after much untying, the produced a
knife, fork, and spoon, quite new, and with
an air of pride she placed them before the
" of
foreigners." To be sure, there were three
us, but natives in the country seldom use
such articles, and she did the best she could.
When we sat down to eat, the old man, unsolicited by us and somewhat to our surprise,
spread out his hands and reverently asked a
blessing. At night, the rest of the family
came in from work, consisting of a stout
young son and his wife and child, and a
daughter of the old couple, apparently about
16. They were quiet, modestly behaved and
clean, and as they sat round the table, while
the old man, with specs on his nose, read
from the big native Bible, it was a pleasant,
home-like scene. Some of ojr party, who
had been indoctrinated by the Honolulu scoffers into the belief that the missionaries had
done no good among the Hawaiians, could
but admire and respect this simple, well-ordered native family. After quite a lengthy
prayer (in which, as our guide told us, * the
strangers" were mentioned,) a hymn w;r
very creditably sung to an old-fashioned tune,
that carried us back to boyhood's days,
among the hills of New England. We slept
comfortably on clean, soft mats, and in the
morning our inquiry as to the rlmrges for our
lodging and entertainment was answered by
a shake of the head. " Nothing, ' said the
guide. But the leiki (baby) accepted a trifle,
and we bid this family of country Hawaiians
good-bye. Let us not be understood as giving
the impression that such scenes are the rule
among the natives ; but that they are to be
met with, is true, and the missionaries, so
often and generally so unjustly spoken
against, should be credited with this occur-
There ought, first, to be inculcated a higher sense of the responsibility of those who
employ the young to watch for them and
care for them. I am aware of the difficulties
which are involved in this. 1 would not undertake to say to every employer, " You
must take to your house, and have under
your personal inspection, the conduct of every
young man in your service." That would be
pressing the matter unduly. Still, I may be
permitted to say that we are not enough responsible for the welfare of those that are in
our immediate employment. I think that
one of the most interesting sights that I beheld in the city of London was Schoolbrad's
great store. I was informed that four or five
hundred men were engaged in the manufacturing and sales departments. I was taken
kindly through every part of that establishment. There I found that the young men
had their rooms under the roof where they
did their work. I visited them. They were
clean, and airy, and pleasant. They had a
little locker with books, and other conveniences that madcthem seem attractive. All
the young men had their meals in a diningroom under the same roof. I visited that.
It was appetizing to go in there. I went
through their kitchen and laundry—for their
clothes are all washed in the building. I saw
the kind hearted matron that plays the mother to these hundreds of young men. If they
are sick, she nurses them ; and if they need
counsel, she is at hand to give it to them.
I went into the lecture-room. In it was a
library. I glanced at the books, which had
been wisely selected. I saw the seats and
chairs in that room. There they are accustomed to invite gentlemen of science, gentlemen of learning, travelers, and historians,
who are glad to give information to the
young men. I went into their drill-room—
for they have a military instruction. Firearms, and whatever other equipments are
needed for the purpose, are furnished by the
establishment. Such was the provision that
had been made by their employers for these rence.

taking. A copy should be placed by the
Board of Education in every public and pri-
school throughout the Kingdom. It
should be in every family.
Already nearly 340 pages are printed.
About 200 more will be added. We are
glad to learn that about 40 pages will be filled
up with an English and Hawaiian vocabulary.
We also learn that Mr. Andrews intends to
append a Hawaiian Chronological Table.
This will much enhance the value of the
work. The book will appear about April,
and be sold to subscribers for $6. Considering the extra cost of printing and binding in
this part of the world, we consider this a very
reasonable price.
We learn that Mr. Andrews will enter
upon another literary undertaking when this
is completed. Already, we believe, he is
collecting the materials. We refer to his
attempt to write the life of Kamehameha I.

and during a period of more than twenty
years was the Sovereign of this Kingdom.
He died in May, 1,819, less than one year
before the American Missionaries landed upon
the islands. He was no ordinary man, but
possessed great administrative and executive
ability. He was ship-owner and ship-builder.
He freighted vessels to Chinaand dealt largein foreign trade. We only hope that Mr.
Andrews may succeed in the publication of
the work.

We were glad to hear the remark* of
Mon. dc Varigny, the Minister of Finance.
He was very decided in his opinion that the
"tabu" should not be removed. He argued
that if the tabu never had been imposed, perhaps it would not be best to impose it, but as
it had been, he would not dare to remove it.
He referred very pertinently to the
of
the French Authorities at the Society Islands.
There the French have tried every variety
of experiment, in regard to the sale of liquors
to the natives, but have finally adopted the
policy that it is not besl to allow the sale of
spirituous liquors among the Tahitians.
This is valuable experience, the more so as
the French have always been very cautious
about adopting any principle which savored
of Puritanism or Missionary !
Before closing our notice of the Legislative
Assembly, we cannot refrain from complimenting the translator, who spoke with an
ease and gracefulness very impressive. There

Bailot-box and Brandy-bottle.
Some people argue that Hawaiians cannot
be trusted with free access to the ballot-box,
but yet those same persons would put into
their hands the brandy-bottle. The Sandwich Islands may be comparatively a small
Kingdom, but the very same principles are
at work here as among the greater nations.
We are not afraid of the people. Only educate them and preach the gospel among them,
and then give them free access to the ballotbox, but if at that ballot-box they decide that
the brandy-bottle should be tabued, or banished, we think their decision should be respected, and the executors of the law should
see well to it that the law is executed. No
fact stands forth more open to the world than
this, that for more than twenty years the
Hawaiian people, through their Representatives in the Legislature have voted away the
brandy-bottle. Some oT the chiefs, and a
rum-party among foreigners, have strenuously opposed the sovereign voice of the people,
but thanks to God, as yet they have been
most signally defeated. When His Majesty
Kamehameha Y. ascended the throne, there
was a manifest chuckle among those rallying
around the brandy-bottle, " Now we'll have
things in our way." Itaffords us much gratification to learn, that a majority of His Majesty's Ministers take what we hold to be
correct views upon this subject, and we do
not think that we are mistaken in the inference, that His Majesty is far from wishing
to see a rum-shop set up in every town and
�Hl]
village of the Kingdom. We are aware that
some in their zeal for the free sale of rum
and brandy, argue thatthe foreigner is granted a privilege which is denied to the native.
Glorious privilege, that of getting drunk and
dying with the delirium tremens We know
this is a privilege that not a few have improved, and are improving to their sorrow

foreigner in the Assembly, as we have been
informed, allowed his name to be recorded in
favor of removing the " tabu." It could
hardly be expected that he would have voted
otherwise, as he is one of the wholesale liquor
dealers of Honolulu ! Hawaiians are setting
a noble example to the other nations of the
earth. There is no doubt that an overwhelming majority of Hawaiians would say, if the
question was fairly put, give us a free ballotl>ox, but do not give with it the brandy-bottle.

crew 1 attempted to lower thestarboard boat, and had the good
fortune to get her in the water and away from tbe ship without
any serious mishap. I now called forone of the boats to come

of tbe men and try and effect a landing. Wet, cold and
fatigued and with nothing but what they stood in, and by
stowing themunder and between the thwurts, I succeeded la

not to sleep but to mourn over my tad misfortunes, and blighted prospects, A fire was kindled, whioh In a measure cheered
up our lonoly and forlorn spirits, and made our situationappear less gloomy. Wet, tired aud coM,as we were without a
dry piece of clothing to put on oar backs, without a shelter and
a drlaiting rain falling upon us all the while,rendered our situation as deplorable as can well be Imagined. Daylight soon
made its appearance, and with signs of an abatement of the
storm. The wreck of what a short time before had been our
home, had been driven entirely over the ledge, and lay on a
coarse graveHy flat. I went on board the day after our disaster, with two boats crews of my best men. And at flood tide,
although she was bilged nn the port side, and her bold full of
water, I succeeded In hauling the ship a little nearer theshore,
as the swell wouldlift her clear of the bottom, god by watching
the seas when they would strike and lift her Hauling on our
lines at the same time, we were enabled to lodge her in a more
convenient place. The two following days we were engaged in
getting what provisions we could, aud on the ..2d, I sent my Ist
officer to Fellxtuff and Shantar Bay, to go on board of any
vessel thathe could And,and inform them of our aad fate, and
ask for Immediate assistance And relief.
I will here remark that N. R. harbor has always beenrepresented as being a safeharbor for any ship from any wind thnt
may blow, except a S. W. wind. And for the benefit of those
whohave occasion to visit this dreary region, I will say that my
sad experience has taught me, that it is not as has been represented, a At place for any ship lo anchorafter themiddle of
August,and under no circumstanceswould I advise any one to
seek shelter in any harbor above Cape Ukory after the 10th
of September when tbe heavy gales begin to blow. Capt. Allen
of the ship Onward, was laying at Rocky Point, about 30 miles
below me, during the same gale, and was obliged to get under
weigh three different times to avoid going ashore. But owing
to the nuperior qualities of his ship, (of which there are but
few such) be barely escaped tberocks. Ho speaks of the gale
as being very severe. The Russian l.overninent steamer which
was laying at South Head, had three heavy anchors down,and
steam up, and dragged at that, and had the gale not abated,
she would have soon become a wreck,her fuel being all consumed. In fact, all who experienced the gale, speak of It as
being uncommonly severe.
On theIst of October our heart* were made glad by the appearance of the Russia American Company schooner Ayan,
Capt. Whitney, who kindly came to our assistance, (and to
whom I shall ever feel grateful,) offering a passage to myself,
oflicers,and crews to Manga,(a settlement in bhantar Bay.) I
proceeded to sell at auction what few things we had been fortunate enough to get from thewreck, together with the wreck,
for the sum or $»70 ; and on the 2d, emharked and sailed for
Munga, arriving there on the 3d. To Capt. Kllsburg, Governor
of Ayan, by whose Influence the schooner was seat to our relief,
I shall always feel myself greatly Indebted for the unlimited

THANKSGIVING
DAY.
the Proclamation of PresiAgreeable
dent Lincoln, Thursday, Nov. 24th, was observed in a becoming manner, by the American citizens residing in Honolulu, and the
numerous seafaring visitors belonging to the
fleet of whale ships in port. Mr. Mcßride,
the American Minister Resident, invited the
attention of Americans to this subject by an
appropriate call, published in the Advertiser
of the 12th ult.
Religious services becoming the occasion
were held at Fort Street Church in the morning at 11 o clock. The sermon was preached
by the Rev. Dr. Gulick. It was an exceedingly interesting and appropriate discourse.
A copy has been requested for publication, and appeared in the AdvertiWe present our readers with an
ser.
outline of the sermon, but would refer them
to the discourse, as it appears in full.
Although Dr. Gulick is Hawaiian born, and
warmly attached to the land of his birth,
yet he deeply sympathizes with the people of
the United States in their present struggle.
Having been educated in the States, and resently visited them, he can of course speak
as one who knows whereof he affirms :
to
The Lord reigneth, let the earth rejoice ; let the
mnltitude of the isle* be glad thereof."—P». 87:1
"
We are not left to-day to bare faith, for incentives to thanksgiving. The terrible visitation of war, is bringing to the United States
of America blessing* difficult to estimate in
their present good and ultimate efTect.
We rejoice to-day over the Political Regeneration which is so surely being accomplished
in America.
During two generations the political heresy has been growing, that States were the
ultimate elements of the Union, rather than
the people of all the States, and that a minority of states need not submit to a majority.
The admission of such a doctrine would have
sapped the citadel of Freedom ; and we may
well rejoice that rather than submit to
threatened anarchy or oligarchy, there was
vitality sufficient to resist, and that we have
such good reason to hope this resistance will
result in forever settling, that the majority
rules, limited only by the constitutions
mutually adopted.
Another political lesson is regarding
slavery. This was the interest, to promote
which, the heresy of states-rights was especially fostered. This was the spirit-«that but
the form ; this the animus—that the cxpres■ion. And as they have been so inseparable in origin and life, together they shall die.
The national uprising is virtually against
both, it matters not what form the struggle
takes. If the first be destroyed the last must
alto die the death.
Half a million of patriot graves attest the
-arnestness of the North, and also tell the
1864.
character of the evil they resist. Like the
loul spirit rebuked by Jesus, this Dragon, in
being exorcised, has rent America sorely, and
filled the world with its infernal uproar ; and
for a time it left Columbia as one dead, insomuch that all the tyranny loving, and many
even of the ostensible lovers of liberty, exultingly said, she is dead. But the Lord took
her by. the hand, and by a most wonderful
series of providences is lifting her up, and
she is arising, and she will soon take tier
place among the foremost of earth's nations.
We pray the Lord to carry on his work till
slavery be utterly dead, and till it cease to
be, if it ever has been a glittering generality
that' All men are born free and equal.'
We also rejoice to-day over the Heroic
manhood—the Social Regeneration, which is
being developed in America by this war.
Led on by no trickery or force, because
themselves the arbiters, the loyal majority
have, from stage to stage, deliberately sacrificed their property and lives to maintain the
most precious of political principles. This is
producing untold good. It is bursting the
sordid chains of the love of gain, and is
making men. Steadily as the war progresses
does the standard of patriotism rise, advancing as the heroes multiply. No age or
nation has more noble names than America
already numbers as developed by this war,
and who will be watch-words for future gen-
erations and other lands.
Not the land alone, but the rolling ocean,
has been the theatre of deeds, in harmony
with its own grandeur. The character of
multitudes of sailors during this war has elevated this profession, and given us new reasons for honoring those who do business on
the deep. What unfading glory is the record
that no sailor in the U. S. Navy, on the
breaking out of the great rebellion, proved a
traitor to his country. The starry banner
has grown more brilliant and precious since
the Cumberland sank unsurrendered. That
last booming gun, fired in stem defiance as
the eagle touched the wave, has found its
echo in every American sailor's heart.
We rejoice that we here to-day mingle our
thanksgivings with so many sons of the
ocean, brethern of those who have manned
Uncle Sam s web-footed pets, and with such
wonderful daring have reduced so many of
the seaport citadels of treason —who have
swept the name ofrebel from the Father of
Waters—and who only ask the privilege of
honoring every rebel craft that floats as the
Kearsage, the Alabama. We thank God that
there are thos>e among you ranged under the
higher banner of glory and love. May grace
be given us all to fight the good fight, and
lay hold on eternal life, with the same violent
determination with whicl your comrades
have wrested victory on the wave!
Our third general cause for joy to-day is
the Religious Reviving that America is ex-
periencing.
A theoretical and practical education in religion, is this baptism in blood r No more
let America be taunted with having developed the infidel and licentious instincts alone
of democracy. Even a democratic government, under the tutelage of God's providences, while it retains all its individualized
manhood 1and independence, learns to carry
itself reverently.
The fact thatall the causes of benevolence
and philanthropy, and education for home
and abroad, even to the cause of Christian
missions to heathen lands, have not only
been sustained, but increased, during this unparalleled war, is, to a thinking mind, most
singularly significant of this religious reviving.
A national coin has at last been issued
with the motto " God our trust." Under the
discipline of war, the united North gladly
responds to calls, such as no President before
made in frequency or kind, to observe days
of praying and days of religious racing.
A yearly day of Thanksgiving, has at last
become a national institution. To-day, how
glorious the sight, through the lurid smoke,
of a nation on its knees I
And we have rejoicings for our own Sunny
Isles. Though much has transpired over
which we grieve, we rejoice in the wonderful
providences by which the nation has been
brought to where we now find it, so capable
of appreciating the principles of freedom, and
of sustaining Christian institutions. We rejoice over another year for proving ourselves
true to the enlarged christian patriotism,
brought from America, and learned from our

Congress meets to-day at Washington.
In about two weeks look out for the President's Message,
�THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1864.
Cheering News!-“VoxPopuli.”
The people have spoken. ABRAHAM
LINCOLN has been re-elected President by
an overwhelming majority. The people's vote
in his favor is much larger than even his most
sanguine friends dared to predict. There has
been a second uprising of a great people.
They have pronounced in favor of Liberty,
Freedom, Law, Order, Union, Right. Truth,
and against Slavery, Secession, Misrule,
Anarchy? Disunion, Oppression and Rebellion.
Poor “Jeff.”—The Rebel editors have
now taken "Jeflf" by the ears, and they are
giving them a worse pulling than they ever
received from the Yankees. Read Daily Alta
of Nov. 12th. It appears that he is traveling through the South, and trying to revive
the fainting hopes of the Rebels. He denounces Governor Brown of Georgia as a
scoundrel, and otherwise discourses not much
liking of Rebel ears. In one of his
speeches, he makes the following admission :
" It is not proper for me to speak of the
number of men in the field ; but this I will
say—that two-thirds of our men are absent;
some sick, some wounded, but most of them
absent without leave. The man who repents
and goes back to his commander, voluntarily,
appeals strongly to executive clemency."
to the
How do you Spell Negro—with One
or Two G's ?—That tells the story. Four
years ago, Mr. Seward said no one could be
President who spelt negro with two g's.
There is just this difference between Lincoln
and McClellan. The former writes negro,
the latter nigger! The great struggle in
America may be brought down to a very
small point—but that is a most vital point.
Is the negro a man or piece of chattel-property ? The noble armies of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Banks, say that he is a
man. Voters for Lincoln say he is a man.
The armies under Lee, Hood and Price, say
the negro is a chattel. Voters for McClellan
echo the same sentiment. Do you, reader,
spell negro with one or two g's ?
Mr. Perry's Studio.—A visit to this department of the Fine Arts, will convince one
that we have a painter amongst us. A look
at a good portrait almost makes the beholder
feel like casting ambrotypes, photographs
and daguerreotypes aside, and falling back
upon the good old way of the masters of the
brush. We are glad to learn that some of
the Royal Family are thinking of giving
employment to Mr. Perry. A poor portraitpainter is among the most undesirable of
characters, but a good one is so rare a personage, that those who are able may well
afford to spend upon him their surplus funds.
Free Trade between United States and
the Sandwich Islands.
On the 14th of October, the Hon. J. H.
Mitchell, in the Senate of Oregon, introduced
a Resolution advocating Free Trade with
the Sandwich Islands. He accompanied the
Resolution with a lengthy speech, portions
of which will be found in the Alta of Nov.
13th. We notice that he makes honorable
mention in this speech of Chief Justice
Allen and the late Chief Justice Lee. The
speech is worthy of perusal.
.
Most Afflictive Providence. —In the
list of deaths, found in another column, may
be read that of Young Landers. Under the
circumstances, it is certainly one of the most
afflictive and trying that we remember to
have become acquainted with. We retain a
distinct recollection of the youth, as he visited
Honolulu on his way to the whaling ground.
We were introduced to him by his father.
We grieve to learn the fate that awaited ihe
youth. While obeying an order given by
his father, (accompanied with the caution not
to fall overboard,) theunfortunate youth is sud$5,500 for the Christian Commission.— denly taken out of this world, and that father
The Ladies' Fair, which came oflf on the
evenings of the Bth and 9th of November,
was a most successful enterprise.
The
American Ladies in Honolulu, and on other
islands, have succeeded beyond their most
sanguine expectations. At first they only
reckoned that it would be possible to raise a
very few hundreds, but their receipts how
foot up thousands ! An amount in gold has
been received, which invested in exchange,
enables them to send forward a draft f0j
(55,500) five thousand and five hundred, doIlars ! When we consider the limited American community on the islands, we are very
much surprised to learn that nearly $18,000
could have been raised for the Sanitary and
Christian Commissions.
stands upon the quarter-deck utterly powerless to render saving aid, to rescue his son
from a watery grave. Father and son gaze
at each other for the last time, the former
powerless to aid, and the latter struggling
with the rough elements. The barerecital of
the scene sends a pang of sorrow through
every fibre of the soul. Most gladly, if in
our power, would we administer comfort to
the sorrowing and afflicted father, who can
only exclaim, in the anguish of his soul, in
the language of David, " Can I bring him
back again ? I shall go to him, but he shall
not return to me." This is one of those afflictive and trying providences when the sorrowing ones can only lay their faces in the
dust, and submit to the will of Heaven, trusting that hereafter God shall make plain what
at the present time seems wrapped in profound

$12,000 for the U. S. Sanitary Commission.—We learn from A. J. Cartwright, Esq.,
that nearly $12,000 has been raised during
this and former years for this noblest ofcharities. It speaks well for the Americans scattered over the Sandwich Islands, and those visitiag our shores, that they have so generously
remembered the sick and wounded Union soldiers, and the rebel soldiers too, when captured.
Hawaiian Rice.—An excellent quality of
rice is now being cleaned and polished at the
mill of Mr. Prendergast. We are glad to
learn that the rice-growers this year are receiving a good price for their rice, in the
San Francisco market. The natives on
Kauai appear to be determined to supply the
market with this product. From what we
can learn, Mr. Knudsen deserves much credit
for the encouragement which he offers to the
native rice-growers. We sincerely hope that
hereafter rice may always be cultivated.
mystery.
General Sherman. —The movements of
this General seem to dazzle the eyes of the
friends of the Union, and bewilder the Rebels.
He has destroyed the railroad north of Atlanta, burnt that city, and with 40,000 soldiers has started for parts unknown. It is
supposed that Charleston or Savannah is the
point of his destination, although that is a
matter of great uncertainty. Some suppose
that he has gone to liberate the Union prisoners at Andersonville, in Georgia.
Bonfires, Illuminations and Rejoicings.
The news of the re-election of Abraham
Lincoln, called forth on the Ist of December,
a genuine burst of enthusiastic congratulation. We never knew American Residents
in Honolulu more hearty and jubilant in
their rejoicings. There was no drunken and
disgraceful reveling, but a deep, whole-soulDonations.

Going

He looked at his mother, at her sweet face,
and turne 1 away. He dared not trust himself to look at her, or be with her now.
Another instant might unnerve him. He
hastened to his room. Half-way up the
stairs, he called out a faint " good-night!"
And was this all the leave-taking for those
who loved him better than life ? Would he
go on the dangerous treacherous sea—on the
dangerous, treacherous sea of life, without

George was discontented with farm life.
He complained that it was drudge, drudge—
never any rest, and very little pleasure in it.
He was tired of foddering and milking cows,
of hoeing, weeding, raking, husking. He
was never meant for it."
What should he do ? What would he do
if he could ? He hardly knew. He had some
fine ideas ofthe sea. He sang of it as " the

that he should like to ride its proud waves,
to battle with its storms, to play with it and

But he must search on. He cannot return
to the broken-hearted mother without tidings.

Report of Ship Onward.
Tbe ship Onward, Allen, lea the Sandwich Islands April
23th, had a pleasant passageup to the Kurite Islands. Passed
through the47th pssssge the Oth of May. Saw tbe first whale
tbeloth of May* W milei N ■ w of Jonas Islands. The Ice at
that tisne was packed and heavy. We sustained no damage of
any consequence, more than the loss of copper, *Vo. Took our
first right whale May 17th. and last in Shantar Bay, Oct. 4th,
making 19 In all. Arrived In tbe Rays August 10th, found the
ice very heavy, which lasted until Sept. 4th. Tbe weather in
the Bay sssd south part of the Sea, has been unusually ragged
this year, worse (ban I ever experienced before, with thick fogs,
rains, and frequent N. s>. gales. Few whales, very wild and
hard to catch. Ships, as a general thing, bare not done very
well, owing to the unusual amount of bad weather, which has
also caused the loss of a number of anchors, chains, boats,
whales,«kc. Therehas also been one vesseUost In N.K. Harbor,
in a heavy gale from IV. K. to 5.8., the bark Mary, of New Bedford, Capt. Thompson. Tbe gale that the Mary was lost in,
which was on the 18th of Sept. was the worst gale that I ever
eapwlasfctd, ranging from Northeast to Southeast, with a
trsmaaduos swell and sea on. I was anchored under Rooky
Point, whlen Is some twenty miles from Northeast Harbor,
wheu she wa* lost, aod in eyery way considered It a better
harbor for a ship; bnt my anchors would not hold tbe ship-, I

had to get under weivh no lest thin three timet lo the gale. to
•ave my ship, and could carry no more canvads than a close
reefed main top-tall and storm slay-sails. This [ale blew with
great violence for tbe mott part of three days. I stayed Id the
bajt until Oot. 11th. On the »th of October, I took Capt.
Thompson and his whete crew from Munuga, a small Russian
whaling, settlement In Shantar Bay, where be waa carried by a
Russian schooner, I carried them to Felixloff Harbor, and
Capt. Mahimen, of ship Oregon, and Capt. Vauxpree, of the
Guit&ve, kindly took a part of the men, and showed themselves
true friends in time of need. I had a long passage across the
Ochotsk bea, with very bad weather, and came out of the 60th
Passage the28th of October. Had a good passage of 10 daya
down to the Long, of lot D W., and Lat. 32 N., and then had
a fresh gale from the South, which lasted five days, then took
light E. 9. E. winds, which lasted to thisport, passage 31 days.
Brought as passengers, Capt. Thompson, bis first officer, and
some of his crew, shipwrecked men from bark Mary, of New
Bedford.
