If the Hawaiians have enemies, at home or abroad, assuredly advocate the repeal of the liquor-law. California fillibusters will, of course, contribute to the fund for prosecuting the suit now pending before the Supreme Court. If it was our design to sweep the Islands with the besom of destruction, we should contribute our humble efforts to the advoctr-y of the unconstitutionality of the liquor-law. Hawaiian* flight to ride a free horse with a loose rein; now let down this tabu, and you let drop the rein upon the neck of the steed and away he goes. This is just what some people desire, but would it be best? Have the people asked it ? Have the planters, the business men, and others employing laborers, complained that the laws were too strict ? The Hawaiians are surely a most sensible people. Seeing the sad effects of rumdrinking, they enacted a law, by their representatives in Parliament, to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors to themselves. The majority of tbe people desire the law to be sustained. We hear no complaint from any quarter that the law is unjust or oppressive, but a clique of foreigners, with a few sympathizers among the natives, have arrived at the conclusion that tbelaw is unconstitutional and should be repealed. We say, shame on such injurious and injudicious intermeddling with the domestic affairs of this people, by foreigners. From such professed friends, Hawaiians may well pray, Good Lord de- " liver us." We take pleasure in furnishing our readers with a sketch of the Attorney-General's argument. It will be found on another page. We commend it to the special reading of that class, in our community, who have, apparently without much reflection, run away with the idea that this lawis unconstitutional. It does appear to us passing strange, that the Polynesian and its friends can sit quietly by, or rather delight to see the floodgates opened, and yet be continually harping upon the desirability of perpetuating the Hawaiian race. Surely no man in his right mind, can for one moment argue that any possible good can result to this people, by allowing the native population free access to grog-shops. Why not let well enough alone? But we have no idea our Judges will see this subject in the same light as it appears to liquor dealers, who have so freely contributed their money to prosecute this suit. It will be time to abolish this law wher. the people, the planters, the business men, call for it, and until that time comes we hope it will be strictly enforced by the police and the other officers of this government. We met a gentleman recently from the island of Molokai, and he remarked that of late there had been a good deal of drunkenness among the natives. We asked him from what the intoxicating liquor was obtained ? He replied, " from sweet potatoes, water-melons, and various other substances." Persons acquainted with Polynesians know well their fondness for intoxicating liquors. Now if Hawaiians elect representatives to meet in Parliament, and those representatives pass a prohibitory liquor-law, and year after year refuse to repeal that law, does it not argue good, sound, common sense on their part? They are a sensible people, and should surelybe encouraged in their sobriety. We can hardly find words to express our abhorrence of the conduct of those who would plunge this nation into the vortex of intemperance. No, rather let every honorable, virtuous and Christian man, woman and child do all in their power, by example and precept, to uphold this law and every other wholesome restriction upon the manufacture, sale and consumption of intoxicating liquors. How it is possible for any person professing to be animated by Christian principle not to uphold this law, is passing strange and unaccountable. We are of the opinion of the late eminent Rev. William Jay, of Bath, the only Dissenting minister" of England, who " report says, was ever invited to preach before Royalty: subject of teetotalism, I have ex" Thephysically, amined morally and Christianly; and after all my reading, reflection, observation and experience, I have reached a very firm and powerful conviction—l believe that next to the glorious Gospel, God could not bleu the world so much as by the abolition of all intoxicating liquors."—Jay's Autobiography, page 106. The vending of spirituous liquors to the aborigines of Australia, New Zealand and Tahiti, is strictly prohibited by the law of each of these places ; a violation of this law will incur a heavy penalty by fine, imprisonment and forfeiture of the liquor-license. Now, we would ask, why should the aborigines of these islands be permitted the free use of ardent spirits more than those already referred to ? Some individuals may answer, " Because we want to get rid ofthem as fast as possible!" This would certainly be an effectual method, we have no doubt.

A California correspondent of one of the Eastern papers thus writes : " In various parts of the state are thronged .the lowest class of American Indians, upon whom the whites, aided by the largesses of the state and the general government, have made frequent tears" (they might as well " rabbits,) while the churches talk of wars with have done absolutely nothing for their salvation. Yet is the good work begun. Certain pious Kanakas, who came over here from the Sandwich Islands in 1849-50, have settled near them, intermarried with them, and taught some of them the way of life. Several most interesting conversions have taken place among them ; and now these foreigners, themselves converted heathen, have organized a missionary society, with very limited means, to evangelize the heathen in this Christian land. It tells well for them, but ill for us, that the first effort for the salvation of our heathen, has been made by these foreign converted heathen. The Association took measures to inaugurate efforts for the salvation of these degraded creatures. J. R." Strange as it may seem, there is now living in San Francisco William Tennoe, a Sandwich Islander, (and a consistent member of the Bethel Church,) who left these islands fifty years ago, went to America, was educated at the Mission school in Cornwall, Conn., and came back to the Islands with the first company of Missionaries in 1820. It surely speaks well for the native Christians from our islands that amid all the "ups and downs" of California, they should have held on to their Christian profession. We recollect to have spent a day and night with a party of kanaka miners, in California, in 1849. They were digging upon the South Fork of the American River, about twenty miles above Sacramento. Some of them were Christian men, and they gathered around us in a manner we shall never forget. On leaving, several forwarded small quantities of gold dust to their families and friends at the islands. incident we shall not soon forget eh occurred while enjoying the kind hoslity of those Sandwich Islanders. There came to the encampment a trader—a rumseller—to tempt the poor people to part with their hard earnings! Yes, that rumseller was an educated lawyer!—an American! It is not very often that we tell such a man to his face, what we think of his trade, but we did on that occasion ! The idea that a man educated in Christian America, should descend so low as to peddle rum to kanakas, was one degree of degradation lower than we had imagined a man could go. It reminded us of the doggerel, a little varied: ■'ne I'd sooner blaok my visage o'er, " And pat dc shine on boot and shoe, Than stand within a ram-shop door And tempt kanakas to my store." a heathen land.

We hope the rebellion will, ere long, be attended to its grave, never to rise again, while the Union shall long survive, to offer a home for the oppressed of all nations, and proclaim freedom to the millions of slaves, for whose perpetual enslavement the southern army is now fighting with an energy and valor worthy of a better cause. Disguise the truth as you may, it is for negro-chattel-slavery that the Southerners are now fighting. Read the following from a late number of the Richmond Examiner : "As the war originated and is carried on in great part for the defense of the slave-holder in his property, rights, and the perpetuation of the institution, he ought to be first and foremost in aiding, by every means in his power, the triumph and success of our arms. The slave-holder ought to remember that for every negro he thus furnishes he puts a soldier in the ranks." Church of England are about establishing a branch of their ecclesiastical form of Church Government in Madagascar. Whatever they may do, one thing is certain, the credit of having first planted a pure Christianity, and preached a pure gospel among the inhabitants of that island, belongs to the missionaries of the London Missionary Society. The people embraced that gospel, and have manfully maintained the cause of gospel truth amidst the terrors of a twenty years' relentless persecution. That Society has never withdrawn its watchfulness over the people. Three truly apostolic visits has the venerable Rev. Dr. Ellis mads to that island during the last few years. There is so much similarity between the inhabitants of Madagascar and our own islands, that we shall watch with intense interest the progress of the gospel there, as it was first promulgated by Independents, next by the Jesuits, and now is to be made by missionaries of tho Missionary old Sandwich Island Church of England.

Let us pass from that Liquors to Natives. Legislature to those succeeding. In the Sketch of The Law of June 21st, 1850, contained in the* Ist Section of Chapter 42 of the Penal Code, has been argued in the Supreme Court, as to its constitutionality. The law reads : Whoever shall sell, give, purchase or prooure for, and in behalf of, any native of this kingdom, or for bis use, any spirituous liquors, or other intoxicating drinks or substances, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding 8200, and in default of payment of such fine, by imprisonment at hard labor for a term " not exceeding two years." This trial has been of much interest to this community, inasmuch as the effect of the law upon, and its necessity for, the protection of the Hawaiian race, divides the judgment of our community. The one class of thinkers averring the repeal of the law will open the flood-gates of ruin upon our nation : the other, that it is a slavish chain upon personal liberty, and degrades, rather than developes, the power of self-restraint in the native race. The main assault on the law is thus summed briefly : "This law is unconstitutional in the obviously broad and exclusive distinction between the civil rights of the natives of this kingdom, and adopted citizens and foreigners, and which fanatical-class legislation, we contend is invidious and unconstitutional; and in further support of our position we contend that the language of the Constitution forbids any other legislation than such as recognizes the perfect civil and equal privileges and immunities of all the people' of this kingdom, native, adopted and foreign, under like circumstances." ' It was declared to be repealed by implication, because of alleged inconsistencies with the license laws of the Kingdom, published subsequently to the act; and, further, it was argued that inasmuch as the law declares that " Whoever shall sell, give, purchase or procure for and in behalf of any native of this Kingdom, or for his use, any intoxicating drinkat substance, shall be punished," &c. Thatn would be necessary to supply the word " to" after the words " sell and give," so as to make the law of force when the sale or gift was directly to a native, instead of to another, or a middle-man, for the use of the native. And, further, it was said to be contrary to the 2nd Article of the French Treaty, which was quoted as securing to French subjects the right to sell all articles please. ofmerchandise of and to whom The Attorney-General replied, (though we only give his most prominent thoughts as we heard them,) by showing that the appellant in the case is not a Hawaiian seeking his rights, or complaining of oppression, but a British subject, endeavoring to extend bis privileges, by selling spirits to the Hawaiians. Nor can it be said again, that this people consider this law as oppressive. Since its passage in 1850, there have been eight parliaments, from the people; in all these the native members have been in large majority over the foreign members—yet in none has there been a single vote of a native member to repeal this law, to my remembrance, now declared by counsel so oppressive. In fact, the Hawaiians themselves passed and have sustained this law for their own protection. " Fanatical Legislation" is assumed as giving birth to this law. The Legislature of 1850 was under the old system ; affairs were then being organized; the nativo Hawaiian was " " " " " " " �12 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1863. vor of another, and dictated terms to the preferred dynasty. Nor, as in the United States, has revolution vested the entire government in the people, so that they had full right to make what government tbey p'eased, in which case, the people (sovereign in fact at the time) clearly retained all authority not expressly delegated to the ruling power; but, on the contrary, the Constitution was given by the King, voluntarily; by it he resigned certain rights of absolutism, until then vested in him from time immemorial, in the chicfish style ot government. What he gave by a fair construction of the instrument, (not by implications,) are the people's rights; what he gave not, remains still vested in his sovereignty. How then can it be said in the Hawaiian realm that the government has no right to pass sumptuary laws to restrain the appetites of its subjects, to protect its people by laws that conduce to the " common good, for the protection, safety, and happiness of his people," or that such laws interfere with the constitutional liberties of the people ? It is conceded that previous to 1850, the King had the right to interdict the sale of spirits to any and every one, both native and foreign; can it be deduced from the constitution of 1852 that he has ever abdicated thisright ? We think not. Such doctrine is pernicious —such declamation can have none other than evil effect. And in fact, they have abandoned their whole position at last, by saying that if the constitution was the only thing which they relied upon, the Law might stand ; but that the 2nd to 10th Articles of the French Treaty were conclusive against the Law. The rule of law is that treaties of amity and commerce cannot be construed into abdications or humiliations of sovereignty. They must be explained by their context and obvious meaning, and no subject of another power can claim rights under a treaty different from or beyond those claimed by the negotiators. Let us look at the 2nd Article: " Their respective subjects shall have the right to buy and to sell, of and to whom they please," ice., says appellant's counsel. If this clause may be segregated from its context, then, indeed, the vendor of spirits is beyond and above all law. He may sell not not only to the Hawaiian man but to the Hawaiian woman, aye, the Hawaiian child, to the Hawaiian maniac. He may debauch the whole rising Hawaiian generation, unrestrained by any perils which would come home to his fears were he thus to sell to the child of white parents. I draw not, your Honors, on fancy, when I state these possibilities, and having obtained this, they may claim a right to sell opium or other drugs to whom they please. But this clause, rendered by its context, clearly means, " to buy and sell" as relating to monopoly, contract or " sale or purchase," &c., exclusive privileges of for the article expressly says the privilege of the Frenchman shall be the " same privileges as the native bom." Again, the 10th clause of the treaty—the clause that really is devoted to the liquor question—uses the word " prohibited." It is contended " that the sale or purchase of imported spirituous liquors cannot be restricted in any manner to the prejudice ofimporters." It is a fact, that the law in debate was in exiMMsee aod had been in existence yean, when this French treaty was ratified ; it cannot be supposed that the wary and astute French Commissioner, who was familiar withits operFEBRUARY S, 1863. ation, and its effects, overlooked its bearing on the consumption of French brandies.

We hope our readers will take this matter into serious consideration. Not only think what you might do, but do it. Let our readers in Honolulu remember the scenes of Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Your tables were loaded, and plenty abounded. We believe the people of Honolulu spent, in Christmas and New Year's presents, more than enough to buy a hundred barrels of flour! Again we say, think the matter over, and act accordingly. Drinking Liquor Unconstitutional. Whether the Judges of the Supreme Court decide the law, tabuing the sale of ardent spirits to the natives of these Islands, to be unconstitutional or not, one thing is certain, for cither foreigners or natives to drink rum, brandy, gin, &c., is contrary to the human constitution. If any one doubts this statement, we would refer him to the physicians of Honolulu, to the Police Judge, to the police, and the records of the Nuuanu valley cemetery. Among the foreigners who have sickened and died in Honolulu during the last quarter of a century, many scores have died in consequence of their intemperance. > A physician has been heard to say that onehalf of the adult males who die in Honolulu, are brought to their untimely graves through their intemperance. These have not all been drunken seamen! The review of the past is melancholly, but the picture would brighten if the race of drunkards had come to an end. Alas, alas, such is not the fact; others are sure to follow, unless they speedily forsake their cups. A clergyman of the Church of England is prohibited from reading the burial service over a suicide, or " those who have laid violent hands upon themselves." (See Prayer Book.) Now we ask why a man who has killed himself by brandy should enjoy the benefit of the clergy, and that benefit be denied to him who has shortened his existence by a dose of opium or a razor ? Is not the former virtually a suicide as much as the latter ?

There is an unseen battle-field In every human breast. Where two opposing feroes meet. But where they seldom rest. The field is veiled from mortal sight; 'Tie only seen by One, Who knows alone where victory lies, When each day's fight is done. One army dusters strong and fieroe, Their chief of demon form; His brow is like tbe thunder-cloud, His voioe the bursting storm. His captains. Pride and Lust and Hate, Whose troops watch night and day. Swift to detect the weakest point, And thirsting for tbe fray. Contending with this mighty foroe, Is but a little band; Yet there, with an unyielding front, Those warriors firmly stand. Their leader is a Ood-like form, Of countenance serene; And glowing on bis naked breast, A simple Cross is seen. His oaptains, Faith and Hope and Love, Point to the wondrous sign, And gszing at it, all receive Strength from a souroe divine. They feel it speaks a glorious truth, A truth as great as sure. That to be victors, they must learn To love, confide, endure. That faith sublime, in wildest strife, Imparts a holy calm; In every deadly blow a shield, For every wound a balm. And when they win that battle-field. Past toil is quite forgot; The plain where oonfliot onoe had raged, Becomes a hallowed spot. A spot where flowers of joy and peaco Spring from the fertile sod; And breathe the perfume of their praise On every breeie—to Qod. Probability of Marrying.—From 20 to 25 and from 25 to 30 the probability of a widower marrying in a year is nearly three times as great as that of a bachelor. At 30 it is nearly four times as great; from 30 to 45 it is nearly five times as great; and it increases, until at sixty the chance of a widower marrying in a year is 11 times as that of a bachelor. It is also curious to remark how confirmed either class becomes in its condition of life—how little likely, after a few years, is a bachelor to break through his habits and solitary condition; and, on the other hand, how readily in porportion does a husband contract a second marriage who has been deprived prematurely of his first partner. After the age of 30 the probability of a bachelor marrying in a year diminishes in a most rapid ratio. The probability at 35 is not much more than half that at 30, and nearly the same proportion exists between each quinquennial periodafterwards. Assurance Magazine. — Ex-President Van Buren's will begins as follows: "I, Martin Van Bureri, of the town of Kinderhook, county of Columbia, and state of New York, heretofore Governor of the state, and more recently President of the United States, but for the last and happiest years of my life, a farmer in my native town, do make and declare " &* 18(3. We derive from the San Francisco Times an account of a recent call at the Island of Juan Fernandez or Robinson Crusoe's Island, made by the ship Golden Rocket, Capt. C. N. Pendleton. The ship was on her passage from Boston to San Francisco, and had on board fifty-five passengers (twenty-five of whom were ladies) who intend to make California their future place of residence. Getting short of water, Capt. Pendleton decided to stop at Juan Fernandez for a further supply, and, therefore shaped his course thither—the Island being nearly in his track. At six, P. M., March 24th, they doubled the eastern end of the Island, and at seven rounded to, off the bay of St. Joseph, at the head of which the inhabitants now remaining on the island arc located. The Golden Rocket anchored on the opposite side from that upon which Selkirk lived, and there being a mountain to cross to reach the Robinson Crusoe abode, no one ventured to make the journey. The best landing is on the eastern side, but the water is twenty fathoms deep at the head of the bay, and in some places, so bold is the shore, that a boat tied by her painter and drifting to the limits, would be in seventy-five fathoms. The facilities for loading water at the island Capt. Pendleton represents to be not very good. The water is obtained from a number of never-failing rivulets trickling down over the rocks from the cloud-capped mountains. The casks must be taken on shore and filled, rolled back into the water and parbuckled into the boat. While the crew were at their work, the passengers rambled off in different directions to make discoveries. The Island is twenty miles long by about four in breadth. The land is very high, rising in rugged, precipitous peaks, one of them called Tunkcue, 3,500 feet above the level of the sea. The peaks are generally over-hung with clouds. The valleys are exceedingly fertile, the grass growing to the height of six or eight feet. Figs, strawberries, peaches and cherries •bound in their season. The Golden Rocket was there in the season of peaches, and the valleys and hill-sides were full of trees and they were loaded down with delicious fruit. Capt. Pendleton bought four barrels of the inhabitants, and the passengers about as many more. Strawberries flourish best in December and January. There are three remarkable caves in the sides of the hill facing the harbor, about thirty feet in length, twenty-five in width and about the same in height. The inhabitants now number but fourteen, of whom Messrs. Day and Kirkaldie, from Valparaiso, are the chief persons; they have been appointed overseers of the Island by the Chilian Government. Formerly a penal colony, numbering five hundred, was located here and the caves above-mentioned were used by them, but the project was found to be impracticable, and the convicts were taken back to the main land. An immense number of goats are running wild over the island, and an abundance of fish are taken on the coast. An English Friend's Advice.—John Bright, who is one of the mostsagacious and earnest of English statesmen, and who has been oneof the truest friends that the Union has found in England, describes our case in a very few words. He says in a letter which has just appeared, addressed to a Mr. Jewett: "If you are for the Union, and think it can be preserved by conciliating the South, 1 confess I am amazed. They have made war upon you, because they suspected that you would yield nothing more to them—are you to yield more under compulsion of the war, or because you can neither conquer the South, nor yet subsist as an independent State without her ? If you love slavery and wish to continue it, and if you think you can build up with honor a restored and united Republic by humbling yourselves to the South, I can only express my surprise at the dream which possesses you. You may separate—or you may fight out this contest and win—but to leave the slave still a slave, will exposi: you to the contempt of the civilized world. I applaud the proclamation of the President as docs every man in Europe who is not a foe to freedom, or moved by base hostility to the American Republic because it is a Republic, and because it is powerful." American paper. — The Anglican Standard Bearer.—No bishop or theologian has had so great an influence on the developcment and the destiny of the Established Church of England, as Lord Palmerston. Since he has been Prime Minister, he has nominated lo two Archbishoprics and nine Bishoprics in England, and to one Archbishopric and two Bishoprics in Ireland. The Church is divided into three chief parties, commonly designated as the High, the Low, and the Broad Church parties, each of which considers its dissent from the two other parties as vital and incapable of any reconciliation. The submission of tho Church to the State puts it in the power of the English Prime Ministers to make whatever party they like best predominant in the Church, by giving to it the Episcopal Soes.— Tribune. The Cow-Milker.-This remarkable Yan- kee notion, at the great exhibition in London, seems* to have attracted considerable attention : " Tho patent of the ' cow-milker,' which for some weeks has been the "lion" of the department, has been sold to Watkins & Keene, of Birmingham, for £5000, and a royalty to the original inventors; and it is stated that the firm have already received orders sufficient to cover the expenses of the patent, and that the machine is rapidly being adopted by all the great dairymen throughout the country.

We most heartily wish our donors, subscribers and readers, a Happy New Year. Through the liberality of our donors and the prompt payment of our subscribers, we are enabled to pay our printer, and commence a new volume of the Friend, hopeful and buoyant. Although the number of our readers may have essentially diminished with the decline of the whale-fishery in the North Pacific, yet there are still many hundreds of seamen afloat in this ocean whose visits to our shores encourage us to send forth a monthly sheetfor their perusal. The number of ourreaders ashore is certainly not diminished. From many of them resident upon these islands, and on other islands of the Pacific, we are frequently receiving the gratifying assurances that the Friend is a welcome visitor. A correspondent at Tahiti thus writes us: «The Friend improves in interest as it advances in age, and ithat is saying much, when we remember its vigorous and fascinating youth." This number commences the XXth volume. In regard to the future, we have no extravagant promises to make, but hope to ■keep along the even tenor of our way j our readers will always find us most strenuously advocating " Whatsover things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever •things are of good report." most {©ft-Smts, 0ri.20. HONOLULU, JANUARY I, IS«3. The Hesperian.—This Monthly has out-lived many of the California periodicals, nnd appears to have become established as one of the institutions of the country. We have long been honored with an exchange. Vol. IX, No. 1, has been received, and with new editors. The former editor, Mrs. Day, has gone East, to make arrangements for enlarging and perfecting the magazine, having invited Mrs. Schenck nnd the Key. J. D. Strong to conduct the periodical during her absence. We are most happy to welcome both to the editorial fraternity. Mrs. Strong has engaged to furnish a children's story each month. Mr. James Daly, of Oakland College, is also a contributor. All these writers have an island reputation. We have frequently noticed contributions from Mr. and Mrs. Strong in the periodicals of California. Some of Mr. Strong's translation from the Germanlanguage, have evinced talent of a high order, and been frequently copied. Success to our old friend. We recollect to have once heard a sermon from Mr. Strong, before the Hawaiian Missionary Society, which, viewed as a literary performance, was certainly one of the best we, ever heard. With his taste in literary matters, the Hesperian should be a decided success. Both the Advertiser and Polynesian agree in their estimate of Mr. Fuller's services as Secretary of the Board of Education. It is so seldom that these two sheets har» monize in their views of the officers of government, we think Mr. Fuller must surely have discharged his duties with peculiar tact and fidelity. On the 5th page will be foud an inter- esting account of the ordination of Mr. William Franklin Snow, son of our fellow resident y*pt. We have learned that his regiment, the Massachusetts sth, had been ordered to Newborn, North Carolina. One thing is certain, both the North and South have sent theiisfirst-born and their choicest sons, to engage in, this terrible struggle. The sacrifice is great, but we confidently hope the roward may correspond. Snow. On the first of January lost year, it was priviloge to. report the Home, Bethel and Friend out of debt. We aro most happy to report that the finances of the several institutions aro still in a good condition. The Homo has already been reported out of debt.

We have heard and read much about Kerusene as an article for lamps. Hitherto, we honestly confess we hare had scruples about trying it, while our labors were so much among whalemen! Mr. Waterhouse has, however, placed us in a position to test our conscientious scruples, by the present of a beautiful study lamp and can of Kerosene. We have no doubt the public will find lamps of all kinds at his well Stocked store, and at most reasonable prices. Persons who have tried Kerosene speak in the highest terras of it.

When Miller, the British Consul General of all the Islands in the Pacific, was officially called to Tahiti, he left Mr. Wyllie at the Islands as his representatire during his absence, when the latter succeeded to gain the full respect and confidence of the chiefs. In 1845 he was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and held therefore the place of Mr. Judd, who till then had filled that office, together with the Finance Department, since the above-named mission of Mr. Richards. Wyllie was ever, by his opponents, considered a very honest and disinterested man, and served (ss far as I know) the government without compensation. FROM eport BiStleeen'sR DaVoofOnntiyshageeCo"Galathea," rvet e theWor Round1845-'46-'47 Yearlds, the in TRANSLATED FROM THE DANISH BY F. BANNING, ESQ. On the 4th October, 1846, in the morning at 9 o'clock, we sighted land from the mast-head. We passed the east point of Molokai at 6 o'clock, and sailed along the coast at a distance of three-fourths of a mile, which being nbove 53,000 feet high and flat on the top, presents to the sea it 3 deeply jagged, perpendicular precipices ; a few cataracts rolled down from the rocks and sparkled in the light of the moon, who stood in her full magnitude, on the cloudless, azure blue, starred heavens. It was a goodly sight, one to inspire man with new strength and courage, especially after such a long and soul-trying passage. We passed " Diamond Hill" on the morning of the sth, and came in sight of the roadstead of Honolulu., The town with " Punch-bowl" in the background, was then just enveloped in a heavy shower of rain, and toon a brilliant rainbow stretched over it, one foot in a verdant valley toward the East. While the rain came down in torrents on the neighboring mountains and their summits were hidden by the clouds, town and harbor were spread out in the most brilliant sunshine. The object of our visit here, was the display of the Danish flag in these remote waters, and the formation of friendly relations (especially for the furtherance and protection of Danish commerce) with this now flourishing kingdom. For other reasons, also, we had to make a longer stay in the harbor ; we had more than forty sick men on board, from scurvy, and it was constantly increasing. 1resolved, therefore, to make the Sandwich Islands one ofthe principal stations of our voyage, and to enter the corvette into the cxcellaut harbor of Honolulu. On the 7th, accordingly, at 9 o'clock, we came to anchor near H. B. M. frigate Juno, and were now laying as in a large fish-pond, in a mirror-bright sea. My first duty was to take the sick on shore. Immediately alter my arrival, I applied for that purpose to the British Consul, General Miller, who with the greatest willingness assigned me a small hospital situated a mile and a quarter back of the town, in Nuuanu Valley, called Little Greenwich." My next object was to enter into communication "with the highest authorities of the land, also the foreign consuls. By the friendly attentions of Consul-General Miller and the French Consul, Mr. Dudoit, this was a very easy matter for me. My visits were directed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Wyllie, the Minister of Finance, Mr. Judd, the Minister of Public Instruction, Mr. Kichards, the Co-Kegent, the Prince Minister, and Minister of the Interior, John Young, or as he is called in Hawaiian, Keoni Ana, and last the Governor of Oahu, Kekuanaoa, one of the highest chiefs, and besides James Young, the only living companion of the King Liholiho and his consort Kamamalu, on their voyage to England. Immediately after our arrival Kekuanaoa welcomed me by an officer of the fort. 1 think proper to give here at once, a short sketch of the lives of these men, as they all play a part in the late history of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Kichards was one of the first American missionaries. He was for a long while resident on Hawaii. In 1838 he was appointed interpreter to the Government and Chaplain to the King. He is the author of the Hawaiian Constitution of 1840. In the years 1842-43 he was a member of the embassy that the present King sent to Europe and America to obtain the recognition of the Sovereignty of this small kingdom, from the three high powers, England, France and the United States. The embassy consisted ofthe chief Haalilio and Mr. Richards, Mr. Simpson acting as co-adjutor or secretary. Haalilio died in the United States. He is said to have been one of the best instructed and most hopeful of the natives. Richards was appointed in 1845, Minister of Public Instruction. I shall have occasion hereafter, to dwell more at length on the seven charges of hypocrisy and hierarchical despotism, against the Missionaries generally and especially against Mr. Richards. Mr. Wyllie came to the islands in 1843. He is a Scotchman by birtl), a Doctor from Edinburgh, and a man of great scholarship, Judd had accompanied the American mission to the Islands as physician. He was born in the United States, is short in stature and rather thin, a man surely of extraordinary talents and abilities and strong character. He is the soul of the Hawaiian government, and therefore he will often be mentioned hereafter. John Young is a son of the well-known boatswnin Young, of ship Elenor, who together with the ship carpenter, Isaac Davis, was taken prisoner in the year 1790. The Elenor was commanded by one Captain Metcalf and was accompanied by the trader Fair American, commanded by his son. The elder Metcalf was drawn into a quarrel with the natives of Maui, who had stolen one of his boats and murdered the sailor who kept watch in her; he enticed several hundred natives near to his vessel, and then caused the most horrible slaughter among them by his guns and muskets. In revenge the natives attacked by surprise the small schooner Fair American, and killed the entire crew, with the exception of Isaac Davis, whom they carried off"as prisoner to the shore. When afterwards the elder Metcalf, unacquainted with this occurrence, arrived at Hawaii, he sent the boatswain Young ashore, to inquire after his son. Young, however, was detained by Kamehameha 1., (then chief of only a part of Hawaii, the ancestor and founder ofthe present dynasty,) to share the captivity of Isaac Davis. He did them no harm but only wished to make use of their skill. Davis died a few years afterwards, while Young, Governor of Hawaii many years, followed Kamehameha in all his campaigns, and up to his death was his friend and counsellor. Young died on the 17th December, 1835, aged 92 years ; on his tombstone he is called "Friend and companion in arms of Kamehameha." He married Kaoanaeha, a daughter of one ofthe hi<m chiefs, and had by her two sons and three daughters ; one was married to the English Dr. Rooke, the two others were ladies o f honor to the Queen. Ricord, Attorney-General and member of the Privy Council, hadbeen a lawyer in the United States. He was undoubtedly a shrewd man, with good knowledge of law; he had made himself, however, unpopular with the white population. A short time alter we left the Islands, he proved he did not feel a strong attachment to his new country, by leaving books, law, and Hawaiian institutions, to take hold of the spade in the California gold mines. How he fared afterwards I did not learn. The British Consul, General Miller, formerly a military man, had made the campaign of Spain, underWellington. Being master nf the Spanish language, he entered into the Peruvian service and fought in the wars that the country had to fight against interior and foreign enemies. Weary of that life he returned to England, offered his services to his country and was sent as British Consul-General to the Pacific Islands, with a special mission to negotiate a treaty of commerce with the Kingdom of Hawaii. The French Consul, Dudoit, had been ship owner and had led a roving life over the Pacific, until he settled in 1836, as a merchant on the Sandwich Islands. In the year 1838 Dupetit Thouars arrived, and was prompted, on account of persecutions against the Catholic missionaries, to act very energetically ; he made a provisional treaty and appointed Mr. Dudoit as French Consul, and, though never confirmed as such by the home government, continued to act until in 1847, he received a successor. All these gentlemen lived in the town or its vicinity, and thus I hnd an opportunity to see at once the capital ofthe Kingdom and its curiosities, which it is true was very soon done. I would call Honolulu a town in spe, and it will surely become a beautiful one, for all the materials are at hand. It is a sad fact, that the better houses have not been erected and are not occupied by the natives, but with few exceptions, by the white immigrated population. The natives, on the contrary, eno the chiefs and the King himself not excepted, consider such stone buildinps as a burthensome luxury, and if perchance they are in possession of one consider ii a gala garment, only put on at festival occasions, as they feel themselves too awkward in it. 1 shall hereafter come back to this subject, for I was far less astonished to see the brave Hawaiians' discontent with European comforts, than that they at all entered upon fhem. But such is trio result of civilization introduced with green-house warmth. �18(4. 3 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, pie that the honor and reverence, paid to the King's name is not to be determined by the size of the Kingdom. I deJatmined, therefore, as forms and show messenger of my King and Lord, to observe the same reverence that I should to any EunQ a Sovereign. The King was standing in the audience saloon, surrounded by his ministers, chiefs and their children. The King is a tall, fine looking man, with a strong beard, and kind but feeble features. He wore a blue unif&rm, with a red collar, richly embroidered with gold, and heavy golden epaulettes, while a red ribbon and a silver star, belonging to some order, glittered on his breast. The latter distinction appeared also on all the ministers and the Attorney-General Ricord. Mr. Wyllie introduced me to Kamehameha 111. After having listened to my short address, with good grace and dignity, His Majesty was pleased to read the answer in kanaka language, which Mr. Judd translated then and there as follows : " 1 am truly pleased to see before me one of the excellent officers of His Danish Majesty. I have heard of the good that his Majesty and his predecessor, Frederic VI., have done for the education, welfare and freedom of their subjects.

IV 1 EJ 11 l) JANiA t 1, 1863. The Year of Jubilee has come. To-day—January. Ist, 1863,—a1l the slaves in the rebel states of America are legally free, so declared by Abraham Lincoln, as Commander-in-Chief of the military and naval forces of the United States. Near four millions art legally freemen to-day, who were slaves—chattel slaves—yesterday. What Congress could not do, neither the President as a civil magistrate of the people, has been done by him as a military commander. Let no one of our readers imagine that we are so sanguine in our opinions, oT short-sighted in our views, that we suppose the terrible struggle in America is about to cease. By do means, we are not sure as it has reached its acme. Conflicts in nations usually last in proportion to the length of time that the forces have been gathering, which give life to those conflicts. Now, as we read the history of America, two representative men —a Puritan freeman, from the yeomanry of England, and an African slave, from the coast of Africa—both landed in America in 16120. The one represented voluntary labor, and the other involuntary servitude. During more than two hundred and forty years they have been there at work. The question is now to be settled—shall freedom or slavery control the destinies of America ? This is the question. The freemen of the North cast their vote for freedom. The slaveholders of the South, outvoted, unsheathed the sword, hence this struggle, fierce and bloody. The conflict could not be avoided. Anthony Trollope was right when he said the North must fight. there is anything which savors of puerand childish gossip, it is to refer to the orrel! Tariff," or the antipathy of the Northern people to their Southern brethren, or ofthe Southerners to the Yankees, as the cause of the war. Othercountries have their sectional differences far stronger, yet are living in peace. President Lincoln is right when asserting in his late Message, that slavery is the cause of the war. Could anything be more supremely silly than the position assumed by Bishop McCosky, ofMichigan, in a sermon which he lately preached in Brooklyn, at the opening of the grave Assembly of the Triennial Episcopal Convention. The Christian Times, an Episcopal paper of New York, reports him to have made this statement, viz., that "our national calamities are all to be ascribed to the denial of Apostolic Succession in the ministry of the church, nnd the rejection of the dogma of Baptismal ration, the acceptance of which would to redeem us from the perdition to vc are hastening." B « The Editor, who is an Episcopalian, aptly remarks : "More in sorrow than in anger, we pronounce this sermon an insult to the church ; or, if endorsed by the church, then an insult from the church to the nation which protects it and guarantees it in all its liberties, so that even such a sermon as this can be preached by one of its chief ministers." We cannot speak for others, but for ourself we can obtain views most satisfactory relating to the probable issue of the present struggle, by reading Hume, Alison, Hallam, Bancroft and other historians, who are deeply versed in the history of the Anglo-Saxon race and ifs branches. The Puritan element is more potent in the Uniied States than some imagine. To suppose the leaders of the Southern rebellion will succeed in establishing permanently a confederacy of states with Negro slavery as the corner-stone, is to suppose them capable of throwing a dam across the stream of civil liberty, which has been running broader and deeper for hundreds of years— that stream commenced flowing more than a thousand years ago—"as well dam up the of the Nile with bulrushes." The Barons of England tried it in the days of the " wars of the Roses," and in the language of Alison, " they watered the English plains \Vaters with blood, from which has arisen a harvest of glory." On one battle-field, thirty-six thousand Britons fell by mutual slaughter. "The Barons of the South," (to apply to the slave-holders of the Southern States, an epithet coined by old John Adams,) have declared that they would decide the present " irrepressible conflict" by an appeal to arms. The freemen of the North acewpted the challenge, and now the contest is raging. How long it will rage, no mortal can foresee—but longer, we fear, than some imagine. The political cancer —slavery—which has been so long eating away the vitals of the nation, must be cut out. We hope there is vitality sufficient in the nation to survive the operation. If not, then Ichabod thy glory has departed—must be written upon the nation's ruins. President Lincoln, speaking in the name of liberty, the age and the Gospel, proclaims freedom to the slaves in the Rebel States ; and to the Loyal Slave States he would — offer adequate pecuniary compensation for fheir slaves. What he has done, we lielievc (he highest interests of humanity and the national welfare demanded, and rrad he done less, we fear it would have driven him from the White House. " Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish," we are for supporting the President of the United States in this important mensure. He has but endorsed the Declaration of Independence. He has but renewed his oath to support the Constitution. We have no fears for the ultimate results.

Mr. Taylor has gone (from Columbia) to Petaluma." J. A. D. "South Seas." We have received the May number of the jpamoan Reporter, published by the English Missionaries at Upolu, Snmoan or Navigator Islands. It contains the journal of the Rev. Mr. Murray, the delegate from the Mission, who was sent to visit all the islandsand missions touched at by the missionary bark John Williams, during her fifteenth trip among the islands of the South Seas. The inland of Aneiteum has been visited by measles, hurricanes, famines and other calamities. This is the island where the Rev. Mr. Geddie is luboring, who visited Honolulu in 1546 or '47, en route from British America (Prince Edward's Island,) to the South Seas, as a missionary. His mission has been a prosperous one, until the late disasters. The measles were taken to the islands by a sandal-wood trading vessel. So rapidly did the disease spread, that nearly the whole population of the island was down at the same time. Eleven hundred natives died, or about one-third part of the population. Not a dozen upon the island escaped. Some hitherto heathen islands in the New Hcbridc group, are now to be supplied with missionaries. Upon the whole, the work of the missionaries is encouraging, although attended by many obstacles. Af Apia, on the Samoan Islands, English preaching is now kept up. The average congregation is nbout forty. An English school has been established. For the support of the school, donations are solicited by J. C. Williams, Esq., (son of the old missionary,) H. B. M. Consul. The Samoan Christian natives have contributed, during the past year, for the support �of the gospel, about 14,800 in money, besides nearly $400 in cocoanut oil. We regret to no|icc that the Rev. Mr. Murray, in consequence of Mrs. Murray's illness, has been compelled to retire from the missionary work, in which he has been engaged for twenty-five years. Ship."—This advice is often given to sailors, but they are seldom inclined to follow it. This cannot be said of Cajitain Randolph, late master of the old ship South Boston, which has been condemned. He first shipped on board this vessel twenty years ago, and has served in every capacity, from a cabin-boy to master. This ship has been his home for twenty years. We have never known another similar instance. Capt. R.s success as a shipmaster shows what can be done when a man sticks to his ship." fficer of the ship John P. West calling ay his subscription for the Friend, ad, that he was bound home, having tached to his vessel about fifty months, "Stick I to your " his arrival home he hoped to have as the proceeds of his voyage. How etter for an officer who can give such Hint of himself, than one who is a icr," and merely ships to cam a few d dollars to spend in dissipation. New Roman Catholic Version or the New Testament.—Dr. Kenrick, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Baltimore; has recently put forth a new translation of the New Testament, in which, with other improvements on the Douay version, he substitutes " repent" for "do penance," &c. The Christian Chronicle remarks: "The good which may flow from this new translation can hardly as yet be estimated. To preach * repentance' rather than ' penance,' is all the difference between preaching a cold and lifeless formality, and the living regenerating truths of the oracles of God. We rejoice in thisstep of progress in the Romanist Church." Superabundance of Men.—There is, according to the census, an excess of 733,258 males over females ia the United States. This fact is noteworthy and ought to quiet the apprehensions of those who feared the war would cause an undue preponderance of women after peace is declared. No matter how bloody the war may be, or how long it may last, it cannot make away with threequarters of a million of lives. The waste of life may make the sexes nearly even, but even then we shall be better off than England, where the females are in excess by nearly a million, and the social problem of the day is how to provide them with husbands or occupations.—Exchange paper. How beautiful can time, with goodness, make an old man look. Ordination of a Chaplain—Mr. W. F. Snow, of Honolulu. We deem ourselves fortunate in being present at the recent Ordination of William Franklin Snow, as Chaplain of the sth Massachusetts Regiment. The services were held in the Franklin St, church, Somerville. Mr. Snow is from Honolulu. He came to New England some years ago to be educated—graduated at Harvard in 1861, and was studying for the Ministry at Andover, when he heard a call from his country that he could not resist, and in the spirit of true patriotism, he enlisted as a private in the Somerville Light Infantry. He was soon chosen corporal, and was serving in camp, in that capacity, when with great unanimity he was elected chaplain of the regiment with which his company was connected, and on the evening of October 6th Was ordained to his sacred office. The occasion was one of deep interest. Mr. Snow was a member of the Franklin St, church, had been a teacher in its Sunday School, and was thus known and loved by a large part of those who gathered to unite in the services. Brief and appropriate selections from Scripture were read, and the opening prayer offered by Dr. Neale of Boston. The sermon, by the Pastor of the church, Rev. Mr. Packard was earnest, and though prepared at short notice, was happily fitted to the occasion. The consecrating prayer, by the Rev. Mr. Marvin of Medford, was brief and pertinent. The Right Hand of Fellowship, by Rev. Plumb of Chelsea, was quite informal and unstudied, but affectionate and admirably fitting. The closing prayer was by the Rev. Mr. Hooker of Medford. At the opening of the service it was announced, that at the close there would be a presentation of a sword to the young Chaplain from the Sunday School. This, we confess, did not strike us pleasantly, but the Unassuming and affectionate manner in which the presentation was made by the Superintendent ofthe School, and the modest and touching response of the young Chaplain, did much towards reconciling us to what we still think an inappropriate presentation. There was one thought particularly, in Mr. Snow's response, that was deeply affecting and impressive. He accepted the sword, he said, only as a symbol, not for use. The use of the weapon was not for him. He was called to another service. His position in the regiment must be in the rear, the saddest plate of all. He must stand back and see his brave comrades rush to the conflict in the face of peril and death, and when they fall must bear them from the field, and minister to them, as he best could, the immortal faith and hope of the Gospel. We cannot recall his precise words, but they Were spoken with a pathos and tenderness that showed how gladly he would take the post of danger if permitted, while he clearly saw that his mission, as a minister of Christ, was "not to destroy but to save." Many eyes were wet with tears as he spoke still further of the peculiar nature of his mission, and nsked for the prayers of all, for himself, and the brave men now girding themselves for their country's service. As he stood there in his plain soldier's 5 THE FHIEND, JANUARY, 1813. dress, with only the humble stripes of a corporal upon his sleeve, we could bat think how the conflict in which we are now engaged levels all artificial distinctions, and brings all true hear}| upon the common plane of a common devotion to the one all absorbing cause. The only time we ever saw thia young man before was at the Cambridge Commencement, when he graduated, arrayed in black gown, delivering his " Disquisition," upon a theme which very likely his heart as well as his head had chosen, " The criterions of missionary success." How little did he then dream that in so short a time he would be called from the midst of his preparatory studies, and in the simple garb of a common soldier, be consecrated amid prayeis and tears to the ministry of Christ on the battlefield. So it is that cherished life plans are laid without a murmur on the altar of tiuty in this trial hour. May God bless the young chaplain, and grant answers or peace to the many prayers that will be offered for him t. and his heroic comrades. Christian Register,Boston. — Important Arctic Discoveries. —The following is a copy of a telegraphic dispatch from Mr. C. F. Hall, the arctic voyager, who reached St. John's, N. F., upon his return on Friday last. It is addressed to Mr. H. Grinnell of New York city : St. John's, N. F. Aug. 22, 1862. I am bound for the States to renew my voyage. I have not prosecuted my mission to the extent proposed, on account of the vessel: but I thank God that He hath impowered me to do so much. I have determined the fate of probably two boats' crews of Sir John Franklin; have solved the mystery of 300 years relative to Sir Martin Frobisher's expedition under Queen Elizabeth, and have learned the fate of five of the men captured from Frobisher by the Esquimaux. I have found and identified the exact place of their landing and prior account of Warwick's Sound: from thence Frobisher attempted to plant the colony of one hundred men. 1 have recovered Avassa, Varedi and a large number of relics of said expedition, and have explored over one thousand miles of the sea coast, including the so-called l-robishers Simits, which I found to be a deep bay terminating in latitude 63 48 N. longitude 70 W. I have also discovered a great glacier and a mountain of fossils between Hudson Straits and Bay of Frobisher. The George Henry was about to depart for the States Aug. 9, 1861, but> thick-ribbed ice kept her entombed until Oct. 18.

During our trip to Micronesia, in the summer of 1861, we met at the Island of Ascension, quietly domiciled in the family of the Rev. Mr. Sturgrs, the missionary at Ronoldri Station, an American shipmaster, introduced as Capt. Newald. He was one ofthe most gentlemanly, courteous and intelligent men, whom it was ever our privilege to become acquainted with. He was from Boston, and, to appearance, a more shrewd and competent ship-master we are confident docs not walk the quarter deck of an American clipper. He was well-read in the current literary and scientific literature of the age. He represented himself as having been employed in times past as a confidential agent of certain Boston and New York insurance offices, besides being engaged in certain agencies for the United States government in the East Indies and China. We siw him repeatedly during our stay at Ascension. He was often on hoard the Morn\ng Star, and with him we took many a pleasant ramble over the reefs and along the shores of that beautiful island. He was ostensibly engaged in building a small schooner ; but, after all, the painful impression was left on the mind that something was not right, or in other words, there must be a screw loose somewhere! Yet we felt unwilling to harbor such a thought, for really, a more agreeable, companionable and kind-hearted man we never met on land or sea. In our interviews he spoke of having once visited Hilo, and of being acquainted with Messrs. Coan, Pitman and numerous other foreign residents of that port. During our visit to Hilo, last srimmer, we found that such a man as Capt. Newald had visited Hilo, but under the name of Dixie. We learned some facts about him which indicated that he had left his country "under a cloud." The facjs, so far as now known, are well told in the following letter addressed to the Rev. A. A. Sturges, of Ascension, and written by a gentleman on Hawaii. We should not publish these facts, were it nut that anxious fears are now entertained he may have escaped with the Hawaiian schooner lahohho, commanded by Captain Bush. The LUwliho sailed from Honolulu iv November, 1861 ; touched at Ascension in February, 1862; took Capt. Newald, alias Dixie, on board, but has not since been heard from. The liholiho was bound on a wrecking expedition to a group of Islands to the westward of Ascension. Waiouhu-, Kau, Dec. sth, 1062. Riv. A. A. Stcrob : Dear Sir—From Mr. T. Coan, or Hilo, I have learned the history of the man who, under the name of Capt. Newald, spent many months under your roof. About four or five years since, this man, named Capt. Dixie, was one of the moot popular captains who nailed out of Boston or New York. In command of a fiuo ship, own- ed in Boston, he sailed for the Kant Indies. In some of the eastern scus his ship struck upon a rock and was sinking, when another Boston Captain, named Pitman, came to his rescue. Alter tuking off the cmw of Cuptain Dixie's Finking ship, Captain Dixie said to Captain Pitmuu, privately, that he had down in the run of his ship some boxes of specie, $8,000, which if he, Capt. P., would help him to save, they two would divide the specie batman them. To this Captain Pitman agreed. Taking four of the crew they—the Captains—paid eueh of the four $100 to help tin-in. making them taku oath that they would never tell ; then passing the boxes of specie out the cabin windows ot the sinking ship, they took them on board of Captain Pitman's ship and the two captains proceeded on their vovuge. AVlien approaching theAmerican coast, Capt. Dixie landed in a boat with the same lour men, tuking the boxes of specie and burying them in the sands of the shore of Nantucket ur of some inland near Boston. The ship and Captains then prececded to Boston. Kre long the sailors who had sworn secrecy and who uided in bringing the stolen money, told of their doings and the report reached the ears uf the late owners of Cuptain Dixie's ship. They sent the police to arrest the two captains und seized Captain Pitniun, but Captain Dixie escaped. They ale-o sent officers to guard the seized treasure till they could send fur it. Captain Dixie, eluding the police, took a bout from Boston, and landing in the night on the shore where the money was buried, found the übsent warming themselves under some riendly roof. He took the money to New York, shipped it for California and went mi himself to meet it. With this money lie bought in San , loaded with lumber, in Francisco the brig this brig he came down to llilo in 18.r>B or 1850. On being boarded by the llilo pilot, he learned that Pitman was one of the principal business men of the place. This disconcerted him sonic. But on learning that this Pitman hud been a resident of the Islands some 20 or 30 years, he decided to enter the harbor. In llilo Kay he sold some lumber and 1 think left some on the beach that be did not sell. lie spent several weeks in Hilo, rendering himself generally agreeable and entertaining in all companies. lie uppeurcd much at leisure, und visited either the volcano of " Kilaucu," or one of the eruptions. His general information seemed very extensive and he was evidently a well-read man, and highly ?;imrd gifted in conversation. While he lay in llilo, a whaling-captain happened in, who recognized him, and who asked him if he had not met him in such and such a hotel in Boston at such a time. " No," said that was my cousin, who stole Capt. Dixie, that money—master of such a ship—sailed to the East Indies—the biggest scamp that ever sailed out of Boston !" While remaining ot Hilo, Capt. Dixie became quite intimate with Mr. Conway, Mr. Pitman's bcok-koeper. While getting the brig under way sad afte*r under way, just us Mr. Conway was leaving for the shore, Capt. Dixie said to Mr. Conway, " 1 am that scamp of a Dixie who stole that money ; good bye." He professed to bo bound from Hilo to Sydney. " From Mr. Damon's and Cant. Gclctt'saccounts ofthe Capt. Newald whom they found at Konokiti, there is no duubt but that he is the samo as the Capt. Dixie. Indeed be told Mr. Damon, at your house, that ho had been at Hilo in com(1 forget the name.) When mand of the brig at Hilo, some months since, Mr. Duraon mentioned, in conversation with Mr. Coun, that he met 'at Ascension Island, Capt. Newald, who said he at such a time "had been at Hilo in the brig Mr. Coan replied that he remembered the vessel and the Captain, but that that was not his name. Referring to the record of vessels, Mr. tVian found tho brig aud tbo Captain's naaio was Dixie. lie lias probably sold his vesssol in Australia, and is wandering over the Pacific with the proceeds of his stolen quins. He was building a sehooncr ut Knnokiti, Capt. Celett informs us. We learned some months since, from a letter from Mr. Doann, thut this 'upturn Nuwuld hud taken passugo in the schooner Ltholilin, on her wrecking expedition to the westward from Ascension. She hus probably either been wrecked on somo of the reefs of Western Micronesia, or has fallen a into the-hands of this exploiting Captain < firey )ixie. We feci real pain of heart to give publication to these facts ; nnd if, in the course of time, it should be proved true that we have misrepresented an innocent man, he may be sure it will afford us joy to refute the imputations which have been cast upon his char, acter, for the reader may rest assured he might circumnavigate the glolie and find hut few more competent, accomplished and gentlemanly ship-masters than Capt. Newald, alias Dixie. We cannot refrain, "in concluding our notice of this unfortunate man, from drawing this moral reflection—how much depends upon saying to the tempter, "Get thee behind me." One false step and the poor man's character is gone forever. He flees his country a guilty man ; his employers are defrauded and his friends made ashamed of him, while he must wander an outcast from society to which he might have shown himself so much an ornament; and few men in his position had seen more good society than he had, in various parts ofthe world. Slaves in the South.—Should the rebellion continue in its present shape until the Ist of this month, the number of slavewhich will on that day be emancipated, under the proclamation of the President, will be as follows : Alabama Arkansas ■ Florida Georgia ...
