JANUARY 3, 1865. New Volume—The XXIId. One year ago, when the Polynesian was discontinued, it left The Friend, as the oldest published newspaper in the Pacific. A review of our file, from January, 1843, when its publication was commenced, is very suggestive respecting the changes which have taken place during the last twenty two years in Polynesia, Hawaii nei, and upon the western coast of North and South America. The early volumes of the Friend are becoming more 'and more valuable as depositories of historical events. As such we often receive applications for them. We enter upon another volume, hoping that contributors, subscribers and donors will be as favorable as in former years. Very numerous are the assurances that our little sheet is welcome among seamen, for it is for them that we mainly labor to publish an entertaining and useful paper, and if our general readers also find entertainment, we feel doubly paid for our labors and toils in the editorial dtpartment. Wishing all our readers, on ship and shore, at home and abroad, a Happy New Year, we enter upon the year 1869. A Word to Subscribers. —If any Honolulu or Island subscribers fail to receive their papers regularly, we hope they will report to the Editor. In our last issue we expressed the opinion that liquor sellers ought in justice to be taxed to support the paupers made so by the use of intoxicating liquors. We little imagined that an important step in that line of legisla ? tion, would so soon be taken by the Legislative Assembly of this kingdom. We learn that the Minister of Finance, Mon. dc Varigny, has brought forward a bill, prohibiting liquor dealers collecting their liquor debts in the Courts of this kingdom. We should only be too happy to learn that such a law had been passed. It would be easy to adduce facts upon this subject, showing that men in Honolulu had been literally robbed. If however men will put their heads into the lion's mouth, they should be thankful to escape with their heads on their shoulders although minus theirhard earnings. The way scores are run up at the counter of a liquor shop, would astonish some prudent people. Many a man in Honolulu, has had a bill presented to him, after an evening spent in a liquor shop which has made him stare ! But what could the poor unfortunate do ? Pay it of course, if he had the means. We sincerely hope the Legislature will doall in its power to rectify the abominable practice which has hitherto prevailed. Latest American News.—The "Yankee" arrived January 2d, 17 days from San Francisco, bringing news to the 15th ult., including a copy of the President Message, delivered to Congress on the 6th ofDecember. This Message is an out-spoken, straight-forward, simple, but noble document, worthy of the Chief Magistrate of the United Stales. Lincoln is the people's President, and he is the poor man's friend. The new pirate craft, commanded by the notorious Semmes, has been wrecked off Madeira. Ex-Secretary Chase has been appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of th* United States. {©ft&riM, ©01.22. TALES OF A VENERABLE SAVAGEOR Translated from the French of Jules B»my, AHnHCcoiisterbtuohrysf awai . BY PRESIDENT ALEXANDER, OF OAlll' OOLLBQE Introductory. One evening in the month of March, 1853, I landed at Hoopuloa, on the west coast of Hawaii. Among the many natives who ran to the shore, to bid me welcome, and to draw my canoe upon the beach, I noticed an old man of middling height, with a chest well developed, and whose hair, which seemed to have been light, was grizzled by age. The countenance of this old man, which had an expression at once savage and attractive, was furrowed on the forehead by deep and regular wrinkles. His only clothing was a striped cotton shirt. A kind of veneration with which his countrymen secned to regard him, only increased the desire which I immediately felt to get acquainted with this old islander. I was soon informed that his name was Kanuha, that he was already a stout lad when Alapai* died, towards 1752, that he had known Kalaniopuu*, Cook and Kamehameha the Great. As soon as I learned his name and his extraordinary age, I approached Kanuha, extending to him my hand. This attention nattered him and favorably dispoted him towards me. I immediatelyresolved to take advantage of this fortunate meeting to obtain from an eye witness positive information in regard to Hawaiian customs before the arrival of Europeans. A hut of Pandamis had been prepared for me on the lava by the care of a missionary. I caused the old man to enter and invited him to. share my repast of poi,* cocoanuts, raw fish, and baked dog. While eating the poi by fingt rs-full, Kanuha declared to me that he had lived under King Alapai, whose runner he had been as The name of Alapai, a great Hawaiian chief, Is not found fa the genealogy published by David Malo. Now we know for certain by the statements ofour old man, and from the accounts of other Intelligent; natives, that Alapai reigned as supreme chief of Hawaii, Immediately before Ealanlopuu. •Kalelopuu is the same as Kalantopuu.

Such was the vigor of Kanuha in his youth, that at the command of his chief, he lad in a single day traversed the distance from Hoopuloa to Hilo, more than forty (120 miles) French leagues. When Capt. Cook was killed in 1779 the grand-children of Kanuha's children were born. When I spoke of Alapai to my old savage, he told me that "he was to him a thing of yesterday,"of Cook, he was to him a thing of to-day." Accord"ing to these data, it is allowable to estimate that Kanuha was not less than 116 years old at the time when I met him. This remarkable example of longevity was not the only one on the Sandwich Islands some years ago. Father Marechal knew at Kan in 1844, an old woman who distinctly remembered to have seen Alapai. I had an opportunity on Kauai of conversing with an islander, who was already a grand-father when he saw Capt. Cook die. I sketched even at Hoopuloa the likeness of an old woman, still quite vigorous, Meawahine, who related to any one who wished to hear her, that her breasts were fully developed when her chief gave her to the celebrated English navigator. The old Kanuha was the oldestof these centenarians. I took advantage of his excellent disposition to draw from him the historical treasures with which his memory was stored. Here, in an arrangement made by myself, is what he told me during a night of conversation, interrupted only by the Hawaiian dance (hulahula), and pipes of tobacco smoked around, according to the custom of the country. Next follows a description of the state of society in the Islands in ancient times, which contains little that is new, except in regard to the priestly caste. Priests. The priests formed three orders, kahunas proper, kaula or prophets, and kilo or magicians. The priesthood proper was hereditary. Priests received their title from their fathers and transmitted it to their children, male or female, for the Hawaiians had also priestesses. The priest was on a level with the nobles. He had a portion of land in all the states of the chiefs, and was sometimes so powerful that he rendered himselfformidable to the Alii. In religious ceremonies priests were clothed with an absolute power, and designated victims for the sacrifices. This prerogative gave them in private life an immense and dangerous influence. Hence this Hawaiian proverb, " the priest's man is inviolable ; the chief's man the prey of death," ke kahuna kanaka, o ko ke " aole c make komake." alii kanaka ke The kahuna being clothed with sovereign power in the exercise of his functions, it was to him alone that it belonged to point out the victim capable of the wrath of the gods. The peoappeasing ple feared him greatly on account of this prerogative, which gave him a right of life and death over them. Hence it resulted that the priest had constantly in his service a multitude of men and women entirely devoted to him. It was unseemly for him to choose victims from among people who paid him all imaginable attentions. But if there was any one among the servants of the chiefs, who gave umbrage to the priest or his partisans, nothing more was needed to cause such or such a servant of fhp highest chief to bo put death. Hence it can be seen how dangerous it was not to enjoy the good graces of the kahuna, who by his numerous train was even in a position to revolutionize the whole country. History furnishes an example of this in the kahuna, Kaleihokuu of Laupahoehoc. He had under his control so great a multitude of partisans that one day and one act of his will sufficed to put to death the high chief Hakau of Waipio, and to substitute in his place Umi, the poolua or bastard son of Liloa, but adopted son of Kaleihokuu. We see another example of this formidable power in the kahunas of Kau, who killed the high chief Kohookalani in the neighborhood of Ninole, by causing a huge tree to be rolled upon him from the top of the pali of Hilea. The kahunas, especially those of the race of Paao, were the natural depositories of history, and received the venerated title of moolelo or historians. There still exist several individuals of this race; they are all highly respected by the natives, and are regarded by them as chiefs of the sacerdotal and historic race. The priestly order has its origin in Paao, whose descendants have always been regarded as " kahuna maoli." Paao had come from a distant land called laldki. The old historian Namiki, an intelligent man, and versed in the secrets of Hawaiian antiquity, has left precious and unedited documents, whichhave fallen into my hands. His son Kuikaua, (Zephyrin,) school-master at Kailua.of the true historic-sacerdotal race, has given us a genealogy of his ancestors, reaching without interruption to Paao. Many chiefs say that the genealogy of Paao was more correct than that of the kings. Common tradition reports that Paao came from foreign countries to land on the N. E. coast of Hawaii, at Puuepa in Kohala, at the place where are to be seen at the present day the remains of the Heiau of Mokini, the most ancient of all the temples, and which he has to the credit of having built. The arrival of Paao and the erection by him of this heiau, are so ancient that the old men say that it was the Night that built the temple in conjunction with the priest. " Na ka po i kukulu ac ia Mokini, ana Paao nae." These expressions in the native language indicate the high antiquity of Paao. There exists a tradition given by Jarves, according to which Paao landed at Kahoukapu before the reign of Umi. According to the tame author, Paao was not a kanaka, but a man of the white race. However that may be, all agree in saying that Paao was a foreigner, and a Naauao." To build the temple of Mokini "which served also as a city of refuge, Paao caused stones to be be brought from all sides, even from Pololu, a village situated four or five leagues from Mokini or Puuepa. The natives forming a line along the whole road, passed stones along from one to the other, which seems to have presented no difficulty at that time, on account of the dense population in the neighborhood. Paao has always been considered as the first of the kahunas. It is for this reason that his descendants, independently of what are regarded as Mookahunas, i.e. of the sacerdotal order, are most assimilated to the nobles by the people, and venerated by the chiefs themselves. There are near Mokini, certain rocks which are regarded as petrifactions of the canoe, paddles, und fish-hooks of Paao. At Pololu, towards . the mountain are found fields of a very beautiful verdure. These are called the grass or hay of Paao, (" na mauu a Paao.") The old priest cultivated these fields himself, where no one since has ever dared to carry the mattock or the pick-axe. If a native were impious enough to cultivate the field of Paao, the people are persuaded that a terrible judgment would be the inevitable consequence of this profanation. Destructive rains and furious torrents would be sure to ravage the neigh-boring fields. Some Hawaiians assert that there exists Another sacerdotal race than (hat of Paao, even more ancient than it, hi which the priests belonged at the same time to a race of chiefs. It was the race of Maui, probably of Maui-Hope, the last of the seven children of Hina, the one who took the sea monster Piimoe. The origin of this race, to which Naihe of Kohala claims that he belongs, is fabulous. Since the reign of Kamehameha, the priests of the order of Maui have lost the favor of the " powers that be." The second order ofclergy consisted of kaula, inoffensive, and highly respected people, who gave way to their inspiration from time to time to make unexpected and unasked for predictions. The third order which is related to the clergy is that of kilo, diviners or magicians. Besides these may be placed the kiloktlo, kahuna lopauu, and the kaltuna unaand, a kind of doctors whom they regarded as so cerers, and to whom they attributed the power of causing death by virtue of witch-craft and sorcery. The kahuna anaana and kahuna lapaau were never considered as belonging to the high rank of kahuna maoli. The kahuna anaana or sorcerers inherited their functions. These were heartily detested, and the people always feared them and fear them to-day. When the chiefs were displeased with a sorcerer they caused his head to be cut off with a stone hatchet, or precipitated him from the top of the pali. The physicians were of two kinds. The first, the "kahunu lapaau," properly so called, comprised all who used plants in the treatment of diseases. In the same way as sorcerers knew poisonous vegetables, physicians knew simples which furnished them remedies. The second class is that of spiritual physicians who had different titles, and seem to have been intermediate between the priests and magicians, sharing at the same time the attributes of each. They were the " Kahuna Uhane," doctors of "revenants" and ghosts, "Kahuna Makani," doctors of vapors, "Kahuna Hoonohonoho Akua," who caused gods to descend upon the sick, "Kahuna Aumakua," doctors of diseases caused by evil spirits, "Kahuna Pele," or Priests of Pele, the Goddess of volcanoes. All the doctors of the second class are still found on the islands where they have remained idolaters, although for the most part they have been baptized. There is hardly a native who does not have recourse to them in preference to foreign dectors.

JIMIRI, 1865. 3 III.: A Boston Notion not to our Liking. Generally we are pleased with Boston Notions, but recently one has been' reported in some of our religious exchange papers, not much to our liking. It appears that the First Congregational Church of San Francisco, being without a Pastor, invited the Rev. Dr. Stone, of Park Street Church, Boston. He signified his willingness to como. The Reverend Divine has been a Chaplain in the Army, and preached for a lin* to the soldiers at Newbern, N.C. Doubtless laboring abroad has led him to believe that there are needy fields out of New England. It becoming noised abroad that Dr. Stone inclined to co.ne to the Pacific coast, a grand Ecclesiastical Council was summoned, at which more than thirty churches were represented. A majority ot the delegates decided adverse to his leaving Boston. The reasons are not stated, but it is%asy to imagine what they were. Some years ago Park Street Church gave up their Pastor, the Rev. Dr. Griffin, to become President of Williams' College, and is not a Pastorate in San Francisco, over the Church referred to, of equal importance to the Church of Christ ? So it appears from our point of observation. It is reported that the city of Boston, with all its zeal for Foreign Missions, never sent abroad but one native-born Missionary, and he returned after a few years' labor in Turkey. Now when a Macedonian cry is wafted over the continent for a Ministerial laborer, the good people of Boston ahd the vicinity refuse to allow even one of their adopted sons to go upon a sort of Home Missionary enterprise. We wonder the ghost of Dr. Griffin did not frighten the members of that church to exclaim, " Yes, if our Pastor is needed in San Francisco, take him; and if you are not able to support him, draw upon us." This would have been the noble Pauline course. Park Street Church would then have acquired a fame more enviable than that of having the tallest steeple of Boston ! Suppose Dr. Stone is eloquent, able and good, then the more cogent the reasons why he should go abroad and allow his influence to be felt in the Far West, at the entrance of the Golden Gate. For the good of the Church ol Christ throughout the world, we heartily wish a score of New England Divines might be induced to seek fields of usefulnes in remote parts of America and the world. The idea that a man should not go abroad because he is eloquent and learned, and good, is unworthy of the orthodox sons of New England. They should learn a lesson from other sects. We might add much more useful as may have been the services of Dr. Stone of Boston, Dr. Bacon ofNew Haven, Dr. Todd of Pittsfield, Dr. Hawesof Hartford, Dr. Sweetser of Worcester, Dr.Chickeringof Portland we have yet to learn whether such men might not have been more useful in their Master's vineyard, if they had allowed their powers to unfold amid the exciting scenes of the Far West, or upon a foreign missionary field ! The glory of New England will depart, and Ichabod will be inscribed upon the walls of her churches, when grave ecclesiastical councils refuse to allow ministers of the Gospel to go abroad. While our heart is cheered by reading an account of the meetings of the American Board at Worcester, we frankly confess our joy is somewhat abated by reading this decision of the Boston Council in regard to Dr. Stone's removal to San Francisco. Tenth and reasonable persons, the fruit has not failed in quantity. For several years the Trustees have been able to manage the institution without calling upon the public for contributions ; but the time has now come when from some source funds must be obtained to re-paint the building and otherwise keep it in good condition. It is for the Trustees to make such arrangements upon the subject as they shall deem wise and satisfactory. It is most confidently believed that when an appeal is made to the public the funds will be forthcoming in sufficient sums to accomplish all that is necessary to make the Home as useful as it has been in former years. The Report of the Treasurer will show that the Society is not only out of debt, but has a small balance in hand. In closing our report, and reviewing the Annual Report of the Honolulu past, there are two persons whose names should always be honorably mentioned when Sailor’s Home Society. Just ten years have elapsed since the enterprise was started of building a Sailor's Home in Honolulu. The grant of the site upon which the Home now stands, was among the last, if not the very last, official act performed by His Majesty Kamehameha 111., while sitting as President of the Privy Council. The grant was made on the 20th of November, 1854, and His Majesty of and good memory," departed this life " great 15th on the of the following month. It is well known that he was exceedingly friendly to the enterprise as was also his successor, Kamehameha IV., who was for several years the success and usefulness of the Home is under consideration, —we refer to Mrs. Thrum and Mrs. Oat. The former was manager during the early period of its history, and the latter during the past three or four years. Hoping and praying that the smiles of a kind Providence, and the favors of an appreciating public may continue to rest upon the Institution, the Executive Committee would most respectfully submit the foregoing Report.

Thi Hawaiian Islands : Their Paogress and Condition under Missionary Labors. By Rufus Anderson, D.D., Foreign Secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, (with Illustrations.) Boston: Gould it, Lincoln. 1864. Two or three stray copies of this new work have reached the islands, in advance of a consignment which we hear is on its way to Honolulu. We have fortunately been permitted to enjoy the perusal of the volume. Our first thought suggested by its reading is this, that the author might with propriety have taken for a motto, the introduction to the Gospel of Luke—" Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed amongst us * * it seemed good to me also, having had perfect know ledgo of all these things, from the very first, to write unto thee, in order, most excellent Theophilus." And the author might with no less propriety have entitled his work * " The Acts of the Missionaries;" for in the preface of the book, he frankly notifies the reader that " the work is written throughout with reference to a single object, that of snowing what God has been pleased to do the Hawaiian Islands, through the Gospel oj His Son and the labors, of his Missionary servants." In a modified sense, this is unquestionably the true method of writing the history of any country. It is only when, in the beautiful language of Bancroft, historians " hear the foot steps of Providence along the line of centuries," that they rise to the true dignity of their high calling. President Edwards, in his "History of Redemption," caught the noble idea—" From the moment of creation to the final judgment, it is all one work." Yon Schlegel, in his Lectures on the " Philosophy of History," remarks, that " the philon osophic historian will discover in the Christ- ian religion, the sole principle of the subsequent progress of mankind. The religion of love, established by the Redeemer, has shown ever clearer and brighter with the progress of ages, and has changed and regenerated not only government and science, but the whole system of human life." Historians of the right stamp and type are gradually adopting this same idea, and hence all contributions to history, written with this truly philosophic idea in mind, are of the utmost value. As such we regard the work before us. Without intimating that he sat down to write a philosophical work, yet it will be regarded as such. Facts and incidents are not •ntrothiced except to illustrate some princi- ple. Dc Tocqueville, in his great work on " Democracy in America,"says there is nothing more difficult to understand than o fact.' Perhaps this is the reason why facts are such " stubborn things." Dr. Anderson, as we confidently believe, understands the facts of Hawaiian history as well, if not better, than any writer who has hitherto taken up his pen to describe them. History is not a cyclopedia of dates, book of annals, or bundle of facts, unless itdescribes the cAomwhich links or joins those facts together. Familiar as we are with the materials to be embodied in the work, and knowingthe character of the author, we might have partially predicted what would be the leading features of the work which would issue from his hands. Limited as to population and territory as the islands may be, yet from their peculiar situation and history, they have caused many to undertake the writing of their history or the description of their scenery and people. Ellis, Jarvis, Bingham, Cheever, Wyllie, Dibble, Simpson, Stewart, Wilkes, Hopkins, and many others, have tried their skill and pens (and some of these have executed their works with marked ability) in portraying Hawaiian history, customs, people and Islands, but really, who has a better right to " tell his manao" (his thought) as a Hawaiian would say, or publish his opinion than the venerable Secretary of the American Board of Foreign Missions. For a period of forty years he has stood at his post in Boston, where he has commissioned successive missionary bands as they have sailed for the islands, and welcomed such as have returned. He has corresponded with the missionaries individually and collectively. He has visited missionaries in Turkey and India, and all his life been familiar with missionary operations at home and abroad. , Finally to qualify himself to speak with additional authority upon this subject, he visited the islands in 1863, and saw with his own eyes the people, and freely mingled with both foreigners and natives. As the result of his mature reflections and observations, he publishes the volume which now lies before us, and which is under review. It was fit, proper and becoming, that under all these circumstances, he should write and publish his views j not to have done it, would have argued a tacit confession that Mr. Hopkins of London, was correct in his opinion, that the mission was a failure. The book before us, is divided into six parts—(l) Preliminary History; (2) Tour of the Islands; (3) People of the Islands; (4) Ecclesiastical Developement; (5) Other Missions, and (6) The Present Position. From this outline, it will readily appear what topic* will naturally group themselves under each grand, division. We think this arrangement admirably adapted to bring out facts and incidents of history. We are glad to see that the writer is not blind to the difficulties in the pathway of Hawaiian progress. He is by no means the mere eulogist of American Missionaries and the censor of those differing from him in opinion, butthecooll, calm and keen-sighted observer, like the Apostle Paul, who, when at Athens, strolled around among the people, and saw them at and bowing before their idols. Any one to have seen Paul, would naturally have asked, " I wonder what that man is thinking about I" When the time came, and " Paul stood in the midst of Mars' Hill," he told them what he was thinking about: Ye men of Athens, I perceive ' that in all things you are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription : To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you." Now we are far from wishing our readers to think that we fancy Dr. Anderson equal to the Apostle Paul; but in this, however, he resembles him, that he knows how to introduce facts to make them tell. He is very skillful, as the Country Parson" would say, " in putting an argument—no diplomat was ever more so; and in doing it, he employs very clear, simple, terse and forcible language. This is really the first time we ever thought of associating the names of these two men together; but we have heard the name of a certain ecclesiastical personage, dwelling upon the banks of the Tiber, applied to him ! With how much of truth, those must be the judge who have used the term ! He is not a man afraid of responsibility. If necessity require, in the words of President Jackson, he is ready to say, " I take the responsibility." Hence in the management of this and some other missions, his opinions have been sometimes pronounced dictatorial, but generally his opponents have been led to adopt them as correct and right. But we are writing a much longer notice of the book than we intended when we took up our pen and began to scribble. We hope we have written enough, however, to lead every foreigner upon the islands to purehatt: and read the work when it shall be offered for sale. It will richly repay the reader It is a work which will be often referred tc in the future discussions upon the islands. In glancing over the pages, we notice a few ty. pographical errors, which will doubtless be corrected in subsequent editions. It is a work that cannot fail to provoke considerable discussion. We shall doubtless hear some comments upon it from certain sources. It is a book that will find readers on the other aide of the Atlantic. We shall watch with interest the comments which the book rails �forth from its various readers and reviewers. A little discussion is good. We are not afraid of the truth, in an open and fair encounter with error, fully believing the old Latin saying, " Magna est Veritas et pravalebit"—" Great is truth and it will ultimate- ly prevail." : 01' THE ScHONBERG-CoTTA FaMILY W Published, by M. W. Dodd, New York, 1864. This is the title of a deeply interesting book which we have lately been reading. It presents some most life-like sketches of the early days of the Reformation under Luther in Germany. We noticed that it was not a translation from the German, and have been wondering not a little, who could have been the author, for he is unquestionably a writer of marked ability. Mentioning the book to a Scottish neighbor, he replies, " why, that was originally published in the Family Treasury of London, and a friend writes us, that the Queen's Chaplain, Rev. Dr. McLeod, (or as he is sometimes called, the Queen's Puritan Chaplain) is the author." We are very glad to learn that the Queen of England has a Puritan Chaplain, and futhermore that he write* a book like this, which we are now noticing. In glancing over two or three volumes of the Family Treasury, we find it to be a most excellent Periodical, and that it contains other writings by the same author, viz., " Sketches of Christian Life in England in Olden Time." We only wish our narrow columns would permit the publication of these sketches. " The Schonberg Cotta Family" will be found at Whitney's Book Store, and a more suitable New Year's present could not be selected. - "A chief’s amang you taking notes, AnJ, faith, he'll prent 'em "' Burns complained that " a fine, fat, fodgel wight" of an Englishman, wandered over Scotland taking notes.. It seems that we constantly have those amongst us taking notes, for almost every S. F. newspaper coming to Honolulu, contains a letter from some correspondent. It is amusing to read some of these effusions. They usually partake very much of the character of those with whom the writers associated while wandering over the islands. Lately we read a very good description of the volcano, written by Mr. Leman, who lectured in Honolulu upon the Drama He writes as he lectured, like a well-read and scholarlike man. Several letters appeared in the Alta, signed " Mountain Mary." This lady writes with a free and easy pen, and graphically describes natural scenery, mountain solitudes, and the various phases of society, as they passed before her eyes, while in Honolulu. She concludes her farewell letter with the following: " In concluding the last of my correspondence with 5 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1865. you, loan most cordially say, I baveneverin anypart Islands.

C," and purports to give a sketch of " Life and Manners in the Sandwich Islands." Portions of this letter are decidedly rich and dashing. The writer is well known. She appears to have been most kindly entertained by the Laird of Rose Bank." Her ideas of the "Hawaiian language are quite original. The following concludes her letter: The Poi and Palaver of the Natives much Alike.—After all my long sojourn here I have neither learned to cat the native food nor speak the native language. Had I learned to eat the food, I tbink it would have been no trouble to learn the language, for one seems to me but a oontinuation of the other. Tbe excessive flatness and Sabbines* of tbe poi are oarried out in the words. All tbe sounds seemed to be pounded and mushed up into a species of verbal pap, which must be articulated with great rapidity lest they lose their cansistency atid tumble into no. thing before tbey can be formed into words. The Beautiful Islands—Adieu, Honolulu.—As the final result of my stay here I have come to tbe conclusion that this is the paradise of the tropics. The olimate ia divine, never cold, and yet not very warm, and almost always tempered with cool, bentfioent trade winds ; the natural scenery is beautiful, and there is a perpetual supply of green grass, vegetables, fruits and flowers ; the Government is mild, wise and favorable to foreigners ; the natives are oivil, peaceable and amiable: the white inhabitants are kind and hospitable ; the cost of living is very moderate ; there are no venomous reptiles or insects here, for even the oentipede (is a foreign importation) lows the latal or dangerous character of its bite, and becomes merely a temporary inconvenience ; and finally, there seems to be none of those diseases, billious, febrile and otherwise, which are generally the bane of torrid climes. The only thing needed here is a nice family hotel, and then 1 should tbink it would require more than the present number ofbarks to transport your pleasure and health seekers hitberward. In bidding it an eternal farewell, (for how could I muke a pleasure trip here from New i'ork?) 1 leave it my best wishes and my benediction. Adieu, fair Honolulu ! go thy ways, for the greenest, softest, fairest, sweetest little dove of a town within the ardent embraces of the tropic of Cancer. May all the whales in the frozen seas deliver up tliemseWes to enrich and prosper thee—may thy fields run riot with sugar aud molasses—may alt thy ways be plea santntss and all Ihy paths be peace ! A. C. Sisters of Mercy.—By a late arrival, three Sisters of Mercy arrived from England, under the auspices of the Reformed Catholic Mission. The following paragraph relating to their departure from England, is from an English paper: " On Saturday last a division of the Devonport Sisterhood, of which Miss Sellon is the Superior, sailed on board the West India Company's steamship " Shannon," for Honolulu. They proceed thither at the express invitation of the Bishop, and with the approbation of the Bishop of Oxford, in whose diocese their principal establishment (Ascot Priory) is situated. It is their intention to form a branch sisterhood in the Sandwich with the Rev. Mr. Mason's school. New Hawaiian Hymn Book.—Under the authority of the Reformed Catholic Mission a new Hymn Book has been published, containing thirty-nine hymns. Thirteen are original, and twenty-six are selected from those composed by the American Missionaries ! So it appears that our neighbors will admit the American Missionaries to their choirs, although not to their pulpit! This is after the style of the English Churchmen, who introduce into their collections of hymns the Lyrics of Walts, Doddridge, Wesley, Montgomery and other poets not oftheir sect, and in turn other sects feel no scruple about singing God's praise in the charming hymns of Keble, Heber, Newton, Cowper, and other Churchmen. Christians may differ ecclesiastically, and yet agree when making confession of their sins before our Common Father and Savior, or when lifting their hearts to God in the songs of Zion. To us this is a pleasant thought. As sectarians we differ, but as penitents we agree. Christmas Dinner.-Capt. Howland, Purveyor of the U. S. Hospital, generously provided a Christmas dinner for all the inmates of the Hospital, numbering about seventy. As no deaths have since been reported, we infer that upon the whole, oyster soup, roast pigs, fowls, and turkies, plum-puddings and mince pies, are not injurious diet.

It is many years since destructive a storm has visited theso islands, and it is probablo that it extended to the coast, it not entirely across the Pacific. The famous storm that inundated Sacramento several years since, swept over this group, and though it caused a flood in Nuuanu and swept away bridges, yet was not accompanied with so destructive a wind as the present. It may be a matter of interest to mention here that the Calcutta hurricane, which occurred October 4th, anil caused a loss of twelvo millions worth of property, swept over a portion of the North Pacific. The loss of two vessels at Baker's and Rowland's Islands, beforo reported by us, occurred on tho Oth of October, only two days alter the above.

The roof of the Queen's Hospital *ti distinct indication of tattooing on some of the figures. It is well known that our ancient British forefathers dyed their bodies with wood, and painted or tattooed them with various designs. Many savage tribes still adhere to the custom ; hut it is nowhere more prevalent than among the New Zealanders. The word "tattoo," by which we now designate all those indelible devices which have been pricked into the skin, is of Oceanic origin, and has been traced to the languajjp of Tahiti. The operation is regarded with religious veneration, as the individual tattooed is supposed by this' means to be plnued under the immediate protection of a divine being. The god of the tattoo is called Tiki, and his worship prevails through the Oceanic group. The images of Tiki are like most other savage idols, chiefly remarkable for bodies. The practice of pricking different forms on the person—crowns, anchors, and the like—is still common among our soldiers and sailors. It has been asserted that in some of the Egyptian paintings there is a " A traveler, long resident in New Zealand, tells us that in crossing through a native village one morning, he observed Tawi, one of the aborigines, tattooing another, the son of Dire-depahi, on the upper part of the thigh. The operation was evidently very painful but it was borne with stoicai patience. The prick employed was made of the wing-bone of a pigeon, sharpened to a point. With this instrument, which was ingeniously fittted into a handle, the operator traced the various lines requireditjr the completion of the device, striking i: now and again with a piece of wood about a foot in length. The blood flowed freely, but the patient remained perfectly ; calm, supporting himself, as he lay half erect, on his elbow. The needle was frequently dipped into water mingled with the juice of a tree, thus giving u dark color, almost black, to every line. An operation so painful and so tedious is necessarily extended over a long period. No man, however savage or stoical, could submit to being tattooed from head to foot without intervals of repose. A chief must be thoroughly tattooed; but to accomplish the complete work, occupies years. It : s begun in infancy, and continued at intervals, but is seldom finished before manhood. The artists whose business it is to tattoo are held in great estimation. They are assigned a high social rank, and are well paid for their labor. Some of them exhibit very considerable ability in the design and execu tion of the devices which they imprint on the skin of theirpatients. They are generally of what might be called an ornamental character, although the effect produced scarcely merits the term. Scroll-work, geometrical figures, and the like, are principally employed ; fruits, flowers, or animals are rarely attempted. A recent traveler exjg/esses himself as fully convinced that were some of these native artists placed under proper instruction, they would take no mean rank among the painters and sculptors of Europe. �7 THE FRIEND.

FEBRUARY 1, 1865. An English Yacht.—On Saturday, the the 28th ult., arrived the Themis, owned and commanded by Capt. T. B. Hanham, a retired officer of the Royal Navy of Eng- land. The character of the vessel will indicate the object of her cruise. The commander is accompanied by his wife, and and they cruise for pleasure wherever inclination points the way. After visiting various ports of the Mediterranean, the cruise in the Pacific was entered upon, and in taking this cruise, Capt. Hanham is enabled to revisit scenes, places and ports, associated with his life as a Midshipman, on board H. B. M. S. Carysfort, commanded by Lord George Paulet. Foreign residents of Honolulu, in 1843, will remember him, and he is particular to make inquiries after his old acquaintances. Capt. Hanham intends visiting the principal ports on the islands, and then proceeds to the Society Islands, via the Marquesas. We would merely add that the Themis is an iron vessel of 160 tons, and fitted up in a style becoming an English gentleman, who is yachting about the world for pleasure. When Capt. Hanham visited the islands in 1843 strong national feeling prevailed, and the independence of the Hawaiian Kingdom was endangered, but with the progress of time, permanency has succeeded to uncertainty — the Kamehameha Dynasty has become established and the regular forms of civilized administration have been introduced into every part of the Hawaiian Government. Eight Letters for Oxe.—Sailors sometimes complain that they get no lettors, although they may write whenever they enter port. On passing over a package of letters which had been sent to our care for a sailor, he remarked, " I have been absent eight years from home, and have written to my friends but once, but I now have received eight letters." We now repeat, what we have done so often—sailors, do not fail to write to your friends every time you enter a port. Suppose you get no replies, keep on writing. There is something wrong when persons are absent from home, and will not keep their friends informed of their whereabouts. To the friends of seamen we would say, do not you fail to write. We are so situated as to witness a sailor's joy when he receives letters from the " folks at home." We would acknowledge a catalogue of Vale College, for 1864-65, from Prof. C. S. Lyman. Professional students, including 186 'neology, Law, Medicine, Ifa:., 45S Academical students, - Total, 644 of the a catalogue would acknowledge We College of California, at Oakland, from Mr. W. E. Rowell. It is highly gratifying to learn from these catalogues, and other sources, that the colleges and other schools of learning throughout the loyal States, are as flourishing as ever. Never were such munificent endowments bestowed upon American Colleges as during the progress of the civil war. The same is true of all the benevolent societies, including bible and missionary societies.

Lights and Shadows of Missionary Life in Micronesia. By the arrival of the Morning Star, we have received interesting and important intelligence from all the missionaries in Micronesia. We shall furnish our readers with extracts from letters written by the Rev. Mr. Sturges, in January, May, June and November, of 1864. These letters present " the lights and shadows" of missionary life, on the island of Ponapi or Ascension. That island we would remark for the benefit of some of our readers, lies in N. L. 6 <=> 48, and E. L, 158° 19. It was originally occupied by the American Missionaries in 1852. The only missionary now on the island is the Rev. A. A. Sturges. He went there at the commencement of the Mission, and has never since returned to America or Honolulu. Mrs. S. visited Honolulu in 1861, and returned the following year. Mr. Sturges is located on the Southern side of the island, at the harbor of Rono Kitti. The Revs. Messrs. Gulick and Roberts have formerly been associated with Mr. Sturges, but he is now laboring alone among five or six thousand people, scattered over that beautiful island. The people are very much scattered and it is a most toilsome labor to visit remote parts of the island. The missionary makes his visits by boating along the shores, as it would be well nigh impossible to cross the island by land, and over the mountains. There are no roads and the forests are dense. The low flat coral reefs extend out several miles into the sea. We have made the foregoing statements so that our readers will the better understand the following allusions: Draih of the Naaakin, Reign t>f Terror—Visit or High (Islet arjawww. — the Mtut- Ponape, May 16th, 1864.

I make one prayer answer for the whole; as do some of the bridesmaids and bridesmen make one set of marriage-robes answer for several couple; which they must have done last week to be able to present sixteen couple, in succession, to the clergyman, so nicely robed ; and what if some at the foot of the class were better dressed, and some at the head less richly ornamented, at the close of our ceremonies than at ihe commencement! Arrangements had been made to marry several parties at a certain place where I hold meetings in another tribe, but on repairing thither, the chiefess, who was to head the parly, asked me if she ehould not wait a little as her husband's wedding garment was not finished. I advised her not to think of outside ornaments, as God looked only to the heart. I was pleased to see, the next day, that she took her place at the altar by the side of her husband, minus her own marriage robe, which was really a nice one, that she might not seem to be better than her other half! One of the sixteen couple married the other day, was ihe Wajai and his queen, head chiefs of the Metelanim tribe. Let me tell you something of the rich costume of our king and queen on that memorable wedding day. His Majesty wore a pair of white pants, and a linen shirt, both as neat and shining as ever came from the most fashionable laundress; and over these a new black satin vest, which, with his large silk cravat, set the old gentleman off to a charm ! Then the queen, how lovely she looked in her long robe of figured Turkey Red, from the famous Waterhouse establishment." Nor did the ""rejected" queens look less smiling as they sat in their robes and places of honor, and quietly listened to their quondam husband promise in the sight of high heaven to renounce all other women, and take the one he held by the hand as his only wife. The royal bridegroom had been somewhat married before, having had at one time some' fifteen wives. So we have polygamy to deal with here, as you see. Chiefs on Ponape, as elsewhere, are fond of their harems, but it would take more than a Bishop Colenso to make the people think it a good institution. Those who are unfortunately involved in this harem system do not find it so easy to free themselves. In many cases the wives are sisters, one being the real wife, the others sort of boarders ; and if they were sent away would have no home. Then, if sent away the laws of the land would not allow them to marry, nor is it allowed for them to find themselves homes among their relatives, unless they happen to have fathers ; the people of the place would flee from them, as from forbidden objects. And this is the real difficulty with the king I have just married; he cannot send his rejected wives to another place, the people would flee before them ! and the other chiefs, would feel their " craft in danger," and would soon kill some one ; it would make little matter whom they should kill, We hope these restrictions on women who have been married, will mod he 11 done away ; the gospel is making way, and ly, much the least affected by missionary soon there will be less difficulty in breaking labors!

The two brothers lived at court on a footing of equality. They took part in amusements, tried the wrestle, drew the bow, plunged with ardor into all the noble exercises of the country and the time. The people belonging to the suite of Umi exercised themselves with those of the suite of Hakau, in contests with the long spear, pololu," and the party of Umi always "came off victorious, obliging Hakau to retreat in confusion. Liloa, feeling that his last hour was approaching, caused his two children to be summoned, and said to them, "Thou, Hakau, wilt be the chief, and thou, Umi, wilt be his man." This last expression is equivalent to vice-roy or prime minister. The two brothers bowed as sign of assent. The old chief resumed : " Do thou, Hakau, respect thy man, and do thou, Umi, Hakau, if you respect thy Sovereign. have no consideration for your man, if you quarrel with him, I am not concerned about the consequences of your conduct. In the same way, Umi, if you do not render to your Sovereign the homage which you owe him, if you rebel against him, it will be for you two to decide your fate." Soon after hazing made known his last will, Liloa, gave up the ghost. Umi, who was of a proud and independent character, foreseeing, no doubt, even then, the wickedness of his brother, would not submit to him, and refused to appear in his presence. Abandoning his share of power, he removed from Waipio in company with his two intimate friends, and retired to the mountains, where he gave himself up to the hunting of birds. Hakau then reigned alone, and governed according to his caprice. Abusing his authority he made himself feared, but at the same time detested by the people. He drew upon himself the censure of the principal servants of his father, whom he provoked by all kinds of humiliations and contempt. If he saw any one of either sex remarkable for good looks, he caused them to be tattooed in a frightful manner for his TALES OF A VENERABLE SAVAGE : equnl -OB- Contribulions to the Ancient History of Hawaii. (CoNTIKrKD-J TrankUted mostly from the French of Julei Remy, BY PRESIDENT ALEXANDER, OF OAHU COLLEGE. History of Umi. 1.-Hls Birth o»«l hl« Toulh. He was the son of Liloa, a great chief, who reigned over the whole island of Hawaii in the 16th century, and Akahikameainoa, a woman of the plebian order, who lived in Hamakua. He was kept in profound ignortnce of his rank until he was 15 or 16 years old. The child developed rapidly, became vigorous and attained to a royal stature. In his plays with his companions and in his pastime as a young man he always bore off the palm. He was a great eater, " hao wale i ka ai ame ka ia." In short Umi was a perfect kanaka, and an accomplished fighter, who made his comrades suffer the proofs of it. During this time he formed a deep and intimate friendship with two peasants of the neighborhood, Koi, of Kukuihaole, and Omakamau, who became his " aikane." Liloa then held his court at Waipio in all the barbaric splendor of the period. Besides a considerable crowd of attendants, he had around him priests, prophets, nobles, and his only son named Hakau. His palace was made merry night and day by the wild evolutions of the dancers, and by the music of the resounding calabashes. He had left Akahikameainoa certain tokens or pledges as a souvenir of their relation, and a proof of the paternity of Umi. These objects she had secretly deposited in a place, which is known even at the present day, by the name of Hunana niho. Meanwhile Liloa had become old. Akahikameainoa judging that the moment had arrived, invested Umi with the royal malo, the nilio pnlaoa and the lei, emblems of power which the high chiefs alone had the right to wear. " Go," said she to him ; "go, my son, present yourself to King Liloa, your father, at Waipio. Tell him that you are his son, and show him as proof of it, these pledges which he has left to me." Umi proud of the revelations of his mother, departs immediately, accompanied by Koi and Omokamau. The palace of Liloa was surrounded by guards, priests, diviners and sorcerers. The tabu extended as far as the outer enclosure, death was the penalty for every one who crossed its limits. Umi advanced boldly and passed the threshold. Shouts and cries of death resounded in his ears from all sides. Without troubling himself, he continues his course, and enters by the end door. Liloa was sleeping, wrapped in his royal cloak of red and yellow feathers. Umi stooped and without ceremony uncovered his head. Liloa awakWho is that t" ing said. " Owai la keia ?" "It is I," replied the young man;" it is Umi, thy son," and saying this he displays his malo at the feet of the king. At this signal, Liloa, while rubbing his eyes, recognized Umi, and caused him to be proclaimed his son. Behold, then, Umi admitt- " amusement. more rite sympathies of the people in whose labors he took an incredible part. The fields which Umi cultivated are to be seen even at the present day, above Laupahoehoe, and near the sea can be seen the heiau or temple in which Kaleihokuu offered sacrifices to the gods. Hakau continued to reign, always without showing the least respect to the old officers ot Liloa his Two old men, high chiefs by birth, and highly honored during the preceding reign, had persisted in residing near the palace of Waipio, in spite of the insults to which the nearness of the court exposed them. One day, when they were hungry, after a long scarcity, they said to one of their attendants, " go to the palace of Hakau. Tell his Majesty that the two old chiefs are hungry, and demand of him, in our name, food, fish and awa." The servant immediately went to the king's house to fullfi.il his errand. Hakau replied, accompanying his words with foul and insulting terms, " go, tell those two old men that they shall have neither poi, nor fish, nor awa." The two chiefs on hearing this cruel reply, at first began to sigfc over their lot, and to regret more bitterly than ever the time when they lived under Liloa. Then rallying themselves they said to their servant, " We have heard of the foster-son of Kaleihokuu, of his strength, his courage and his generosity. Without losing any time, go directly to Laupahoehoe, and say to Kaleihokuu, that the two old chiefs desire to see his adopted son." The servant hastened to Laupahoehoe, where he acquitted himself of his orders. Kaleihokun said to him, Return to thy masters, and tell them that "they will be welcome, if they wish to come to-morrow to my foster-son." The old men at this news prepared to start. On arriving at the dwelling of Kaleihokuu, they found nobody but a young man asleep on a mat. They entered neverthless, and seated themselves, leaning their backs against the partition wall of the hut of pandanus. " At last," said they, sighing, •' our bones are going to revive," " akahi a ola na iwi." Then addressing the man who was asleep, they said, " Are you then alone here V Yes," answered the young man; Kalei"hokuu is in the fields." " We are," said they, the two old men of Waipio, come expressly to see the foster-son of the priest." The youth rises without saying a word prepares in haste a sumptuous repast, an entire hog, fish and awa. The two old men admired the activity and ski)l of the young man, and said, At all events, if the fosterson of Kaleihokuu were as vigorous a fellow as that, we should live again." The young unknown served them food, and made them drunk with awa. The next morning the old men saw Kaleihokuu and said to him, We have come hither to see your foster"son. May it please the gods that he be like that fine fellow who entertained us inyour house, our bones would revive." " Well," replied Kaleihokuu, " be who has so well entertained you is my foster-son, whom I had left at ,the bouse on purpose that he might perform for you tbe duties of hospitality.'* " Meanwhile Umi, who had a taste for savage life, had taken leave of his favorites, and wandered alone in the forests and on the mountains. One day when he had descended to the shore at Laupahoehoe, he fell in love with a woman of the people, and made her his companion, without any one suspecting his high birth. Devoting himself " then to field labor, he was seen sometimes tilling the ground, sometimes descending to the sea for fishing. By lavish offerings he knew how to flatter adroitly an old man by the name of Kaleihokuu, a powerful priest, who at last adopted him as one of his children. Umi always maintained himself at the head of the farmers and fishermen, and a considerable multitude recognUvkig his physical snperiority, voluntarily enrolled themselves under his orders, and those of his adopted father.

No more was necessary to light at once the flames of war. At the head of a considerable multitude of people attached to 'he service of Kaleiholcuu, Umi proceeds by forced marches to Waipio. and the next day Hakau had ceased to reign. He was sfain by th>- hand of the vigorous foster-son of the priest. 11.-stria-is of I nil. Umi reigned in the place of Hakau. His two "aikanes," Koi and Omaokamau, had come to join him and resided at his court. Piimaiwaa, of Hilo, was his most valiant warrior. "la ia ka mamaka kaua," it was to him that the baton of war belonged, a figurative expression which denotes the General-in-Chief. Pakaa was one of the favorites of Umi, and Lono was his kahuna. While Umi reigned upon the eastern coast of the island, one of his cousins, Keliiokaloa, reigned on the western coast, and held his court at Kailua. It was under the reign of this prince, about two centuries before the voyage of Cant. Cook, that a ship was wnckod near Keei in tic district of Kona, not far from the spot where the celebrated English navigator met with his death in 1779. It was then towards 1670 that men of the white race landed lor the first time on the group. A man and a woman, having escaped from the wreck, landed upon the beach at Kealakeakua. On reaching the shore these unfortunates prostrated themselves upon the lava with their faces on the ground, whence arose the name of ku'ou, (bowing down,) which is still borne by the place which was the witness of this scene. The shipwrecked foreigners speedily conformed themselves to the habits of the natives, who assert that there still exists in our day a family of chiefs descended from these two whites. The princess Loheau, daughter of Liliha, still living, is, they say, of this origin. Keliiokaloa, who reigned on the coast when this memorable event took place, was a wicked prince, who took pleasure in wantonly felling cocoanut trees, and devastating cultivated fields. His depredations led Umi to declare war against him. He took the field at the head of his army accompanied by his famous warrior, Piimaiwaa. by his friends, Koi and Omokamau, by his favorite Pakaa, and by Lono, his priest. He turned the flanks of Mauna Kea, and advancing between this mountain nnd Hualalai in the direction of Mauna Loa, arrived on the great central plain of the island with the intention of descending to Kailua. Keliiokaloa did not wait for him. Putting himself at the head of his warriors he marched to encounter Umi. The two armies met upon the elevated plain surrounded by the three colossi of Hawaii at the place which is called Ahua a Umi. Two men of the slave class, by tbe name of Laepuni, famous warriors of the party of Keliiokaloa, fought with superhuman courage, and Umi was about to fall under their blows, when Piimaiwaa, coming to his aid, decided the victory for his side. Though history says nothing in regard to it, it is probable that the king of Kailua perished in the combat. This victory completely rid Umi of his last rival in power. He reigned thenceforth as sole monarch on Hawaii. In order to transmit to posterity the remembrance of this remarkable battle, he '-amed to be erected on the battle-field, by the people of six provinces, a singular monu- employed workmen from all quarters to hew ment coinpo«ed of six polyhedral piles of stones which were to servo, say some, toconlava collected in tbe lieiuhDorhood.

When the time arrives for the Rev. Mr. Corwin to deliver his address, we hope he may address a full house. The -'M H principle laid down by our Saviour, He " ■* that is not with me is against me," will apply to this question of temperance : those who are not for the cause are against it. 1, 1803. Temperance Awaking.—It is a most grat- ifying fact that the friends of this good cause are bestirring themselves in Honolulu. Several chcerinir and well-attended meetings have been held at the Sailors' Home and the the vestry of the Bethel. The meetings have resulted in the organization of the Seamen's and Mechanics' Temperance "Association." The proper officers have been chosen to carry forward the operations of the Society. It is to be hoped that great good will be the result, and we are confident such will be the case. It has been so in former years, and, although Societies have been formed and become extinct, yet there has always been progress in the right direction. It is well to keep the subject before the minds of the people. On Monday evening, the Rev. Dr. Gulick and others, addressed the Society at the vestry of the Bethel. The meeting was well attended. He spoke in his usual animated and eloquent style, upon the social, economic, medicinal and religious bearings of the temperance question. Among other facts, he stated that five hundred ministers of the Church of England and one bishop had signed the teetotal pledge, and he might have added that nine-tenths of all the ministers of the gospel in America are firmly pledged to the same good cause. At the same meeting, the Rev. Mr. Cotwin made an effective impromptu speech, and the Society, on motion of the Seamen's President Lincoln and Vice President Johnson.—Before this sheet reaches most of our readers, the inauguration of the President and Vice President will have transpired at Washington. Their known sentiments upon the war question, emancipation, and kindred subjects, will indicate the policy of the United States Government during the past four years. We have often published the views ofPresident Lincoln on the slavery question, but we now publish an article making known Vice President Johnson's views. It is worthy of perusal. Whatever the rebels, and those who sympathize with them at home and abroad, may think in regard to slavery and the future standing of the colored people in the United States, it is well known where President Lincoln and Vice President Johnson have taken their stand. They are practical believers in the doctrine that" all men are born free and equal." Depend upon it, this noble stand will exert a mighty and controlling influence throughout other nations as well as the United States. Photographic Views of the Volcano.— Mr. Chase is now taking photographic views of the volcano and other island scenery, which are very good representations. Although they may not fully portray the original scenes, they are vastly superior to any written description, and may readily be sent in a letter. We hope he may succeed in this branch, until every nook and comer of the islands is perfectly photographed. and make any necessary repairs. The good work is now in progress. The following subscriptions from the merchants and others, of Honolulu, will enable the Committee to go forward in the work, without feeling that a very large debt will be left unpaid when the work is completed $50 00 Aldrich, Walker & Co.. 50 00 C.

A correspondent of the Hartford P> st, who witnessed the scene, says it was one of those moments' when the speaker seems inspired, and when his audience, catching the inspiration, rises to his level and becomes one with him. Strangely as some of the words of his immortal utterance sounded to those uncultivated ears, not one of them was misunderstood. With breathless attention those sons of bondage hung upon each syllable; each individual seemed carved in stone, until the last word of the grand climax was reached, and then came the scene which beggars all description. One simultaneous roar of approval and delight burst from three thousand throats. Flags, torches, banners and transparencies were waved wildly over the throng, or flung aloft in the ccstacy of joy. Drums, fifes and trumpets added to the uproar, and the mighty tumult of this great mass of human beings rejoicing for their race woke up the slumbering echoes of the Capitol, vibrated throughout the length and breadth of the city, rolled over the sluggish waters of the Cumberland, and rung out far into the night Having thus (riven them their freedom, the Governor went on to tell them of its privileges, its duties and its responsibilities. That portion of bis speech which described and denounced the aristocracy of '.usiiville, and its effects upon his hearers, is thus re"The representatives of this corrupt, (and, ggLjou will permit me almost to swear a litWe,) this damnable aristocracy, taunt us with our desire to see justice done, and charge us with favoring negro equality. Of all living men they should be the last to mouth that phrase; and, even when uttered in their hearing, it should cause their cheeks to tingle and burn with shame. Negro equality, indeed! Why, pass any day along the sidewalks of High street, where these aristocrats—whose sons are now in the bands of guerrillas and cut-throats who prowl and rob and murder around our city—pass by their dwellings, I say, and you will see as many mulatto as negro children, the former bearing an unmistakable resemblance to their aristocratic owners. Colored men of Tennessee! This, too, shall cease! Your wives and your daughters shall no longer be dragged into a concubinage compared to which polygamy is a virtue, to satisfy the brutal lusts of slave- sanction to your degradation and your shame !" Thank God ! thank God !" came from the lips of a thousand women, who, in their own persons, had experienced the hellish iniquity of the man-seller's code. " Thank God !" fervently echoed the fathers, husbands, brothers of those women. "And if the law protects you in the possession of your wives and children, if the law shields those whom you hold dear from the unlawful grasp of lust, will you endeavor to be true to yourselves, and shun, as it were death itself, the path of lewdness, crime and vice ?" " We will, we will!" cried the assembled thousands ; and, joining in a sublime and tearful enthusiasm, another mighty shout went up to Heaven. " Looking at this vast crowd of colored people," continued the Governor, "and reflecting through what a storm of persecution and obloquy they are compelled to pass, I am nlmost induced to wish that, as in the days of old, a Moses might arise who should lead them safely to their promised land of freedom and happiness." '• You are our Moses," shouted several voices, and the exclamation was caught up and cheered until the Capitol rung again. " God," continued the speaker, " no doubt has prepared somewhere tin instrument for the great work he designs to perform in behalf of this outraged people; und in due time your leader will come forth; your Moses will be revealed to you." " We want no Moses but you!" again shouted the crowd. " Well, then," replied the speaker, " humble and unworthy as I am, if no other better shall be found, I will, indeed, be your Moses, and lead you through the Red Sea of war and bondage to A fairer future of lilierty and peace. I speak now as one who feels the world his country, and all who love equal rights his friends. I speak, too, as a citizen of Tennessee. I am here on my own soil, and here I mean to stay and fight this great battle of truth and justice to a triumphant end. Rebellion and slavery shall, by God's help, no longer pollute our State. Loyal men, whether white or black, shall alone control her destinies. When this strife in which we are engaged is past, I trust—l know—we shall have it better state ofthings, and shall all rejoice that honest labor reaps the fruit of its industry. ■■""! that every man has a fair chance in the nice of life." The narrator of this event says it is impossible to describe the enthusiasm which followed these words. Joy beamed in every " Tears and laughter followed each other in quick succession. The great throng moved and swayed back and lorth in the intensity of emotion, and shout after shout rent the air. A man might have exchanged an ordinary immortality to have made such a speech to such an audience and beep much the gainer. It was a speech significant of one of the loftiest positions to whir* mankind, struggling upward towards universal freedom, has as yet attained.

ICT" Some weeks ago, one dark evening, on returning from an evening meeting at the Bethel, we met a Scottish sailor in Nuuanti street. He appeared to be a very quiet and sober man. who was strolling along to observe the sights of the city. We fell into conversation, and the following letter is the result. We hope seamen and others, who allow their lips to take God's name in vain, or otherwise speak, as the Key. Robert Hall says,"the dialect of hell," will take naming. Honolulu, December 4th, 1861. To Rail. S. C. Damon : Sik—You will, perhaps, recollect the sea. man who met you in the streets of Honolulu on .Monday night last, 28th November. You will recollect 1 promised to add a mite to tho columns of the " Friend," and I now comply, and shall be glad to hear of its having taken effect on some of the unfortunate class to which 1 at present belong, namely, seamen. A Wanning to the Thoughtless Mariner.—The greater portion of the present crew of the ship Dreadnought," at present in Honolulu, joined heron the 17th of October, at San Francisco, and about the 23d we sailed for this port. Six of her crew have been my former shipmates, and taking her crew altogether, they are all young men and very orderly, with one exception only. This young man I now allude to, was of a lively nature, asJ may term it, either jesting, singing or faring—the latter, lam sorry to say, he was much addicted to. On the day following our departure from San Francisco, while at dinner, various subjects were conversed upon. One of the crew asked him where he would be in the course of four months time >. "In hell!" was the prompt reply. Mark, reader, in less than thirty minutes we were all summoned to work on deck. The young man I allude to, myself and another, were ordered to range the chain which lay abreast of the fore-hatchway. Wn had not been but a few minutes at this work before the young man's chain hook slipped from the chain and he overbalanced and fell to the bottom of the. hold. Every alGrstnnce that could l)e rendered was instantly done. but to no purpose—life was extinct! Sixty minutes had not passed since he stated he would \<o in " hell," till he stood in (he presence of that God he had lately offended Reader, beware, for every "idle word God - ! will call you into judgment, In the course of my career, I have seen about eight men killed on board of ships at sea, but none appeared to me so awful at, the one I have described, and in fact, consternation was depicted on the countenances of the crew when they came to ponder over his expression, and sudden death. Having been so short a time together, 1 was not able to learn his real name, but I believe he was an Englishman, and very likely his relations have lost all traces of him.

A Sailor's Yarn Poetized. We publish in our columns the new and popular Poem, ■' Enoch Arden," by the Poet Laureate of England, who has recently received a Baronetcy, and will hereafter be known as Sir Alfred." This poem has met with a most remarkable sale in England and the United States. It is printed in every variety of form, both cheap and expensive, and illustrated by artists in the very highest style. It will, we think, exceedingly interest the wide circle of our sea-faring readers, and furnish a topic to beguile the long and wearisome evenings and " watches below" of many a cruise in the broad Pacific. In a few days it will be read by the hardy whaleman pushing his way " amid tumbling mountains of ice" in the Arctic Ocean, and by those cruising more leisurely among the Coral Isles of the "South Seas." In the name nf all the sailors in the Pacific Ocean, we thank the Poet for this effort of genius, seeing that while this poem delights the university student and devotee of literature, it also will be equally appreciated by the most uneducated inmates of the forecastle. - John Brown and H. A. Wise.—A photograph of Old John Brown, wreathed in laurels, is now hanging in the parlor of the mansion formerly belonging to H. A. Wiss, who hung the original in another part of the State. The estate, situated a few miles north of Norfolk, has been confiscated by the goveriimfnt. 25 The Pacific Almanac—We would acknowledge, from tic publishing house of H. EL Bancroft & Co., of San Francisco, a copy of the " Pacific Almannc" and also a Memorandum Book for 1865. These will be found for sale at H. M. Whitney's Book Store. The Almanac is very full and complete upon all matters relating to the Pacific coast, including a list of all newspapers and periodicals published in the Pacific States. There are 103 weeklies, (5 semi-weeklies, 3 tri-weeklics and 32 dailies, besides numerous monthlies and other periodical publications. This is surely a rapid growth of periodicals, for twenty-three years ago, when the first number of " The Friend" was issued, not one newspaper was published in any part of that vast region, where now the newspaper sheets are almost as numerous as the leaves of the forest. Castor-Oil Manufactory.— We are glad to observe indications that this enterprise is not likely to prove a failure in Honolulu. The Messrs. Cotton certainly manufacture oil of an excellent quality, and while not occupied in pressing out oil, they turn their attention to the manufacture of water-wheels. A large wheel has been manufactured for the new plantation of Messrs. Green & Montgomery, Koolau, which works to a charm. The truth is, a little Yankee enterprise and skill will create a wonderful revolution on these islands. The Yankees are coming! Reading Room at the Sailor's Home. — It is exceedingly gratifying to witness the new order of things at the Reading Room. During the day, seamen are resorting thither to read the news and write to the " old folks at home," and during the evening many find their way to the temperance meeting and the place where " prayer is wont to be made." Never among seamen in Honolulu were the signs for good more encouraging. We hope the good leaven will continue to work among both seamen and landsmen. {61*.taitf, V01.22. Enoch Arden.

And past into the little garth beyond. So lifted up in spirit he movedaway. Then Philip put the hoy and girl to school, And bought them needfulbooks, and every way. Like one who does his dutyby his own, Made hiraseir theirs; and tho' for Annie's sake, Fearing the lar.y gossip of the jwrt, He oft denied his tieart his dearest wish, And seldom crost her threshold, yet he sent Gifts by the children, garden-herbsand fruit.

Philip sadly said Annie, as I have waited all my life 1 well may wait alittle.' ■ Nay' she cried 11 am bound; youhave my promise—in a year Will you not bide your year as I bide mine 7' And Philip answer'd I will bide my year.' * But Thilip did not fathom Annie's mind: Scarce could the wataaa when he came upon her.

Philip gain'd As Enoch lost; for Enoch seemed to them Uncertain as a vision or adream, Faint as a figure seen in early dawn I-nwn at the far end of an avenue, Going we know not where; and so ten years, Knoch left his hearth and native land, Fled forward, and no news of Enoch came. '* you Philip, with something happier than myself. — ' ' Hereboth were mute, till Philip glancing up Beheld thedead flame of the fallen day Pats from the Banish barrow overhead; Then fearing night and chill for Annie,rose And sent his voicebeneath him through the wood. Up came the children laden with their spoil; Then all descended to the port, and there At Annie's doorhe paused and gave his hand, Saying gently, 'Annie, when I spoke toyou, That was yourhour of weakness. I was wrong. I am always bound to you,but you are free.' Then Annie weeping answered I am bound.' ' She spoke; and in one moment as it were, While yet she went about her household ways, Ev'n as she dwelt upon his latest words, That he had loved her longer thanshe knew, That autumn into autumn flash'd again, And there he stood once more before her face, Is it a year 7 1 she asked. Claiming ber promise. 4 Yea, if tbe nuts' he said ■ he ripe again; Come out and see.' But she—she put him off— So much to took to—such a change—a monthGive her a month—she knew thatshe wa« bound— A month—no more. Then Philip with his eyes Full of that lifelong hunger, and his voice Shaking a little like a druukard'shand, 'Take your own time, Annie, take your own time.' And Anniecould have wept for pity of him; And yet she held him on dclayingly With many a scarce believable excuse, Trying his truthand his long-aufferane. Till half another year had slipt away. ' . By this the lazy gossips of tt:c port, Abhorrentof a calculation satat, Began to chafe us at a personal wrongSome thought that Philip didhut trifle with her. Some that she but h* Id off to draw him on; And others laugh'd at her and Philip too, As simple folk that knew not their own minds; And one, in whomall evil fanciesclung Like serpent eggs together, laughingly Would hint at worse in cither. Her own son Was silent, tho' he often looked his wish; But evermore the daughter prest npou her To wed the man so dear to all of them And lift the household out or poverty; And Philip's rosy face contracting, grew Carewornand wan; and all these things fell on her Sharp as reproach. At last one night it chanced That Annie could not steep, but earnestly Pray'd for a sign,' My Enoch Is he gone 7' Then compass'd round by the blind wall ofnight, Brook'd not theexpectant terror of her heart. Started frombed, and struck herself a light, Then desperately seised tbe holy Book, Suddenly set It wide to find a sign, Suddenly put her finger on the text, Under a palmtree.'

What ail'd her then, that ere she entered, often Her handdwelt lingcringly as, the latch, Fearing to enter; Philip thought he knew Such doubts and fears were common to her state, Being with child; but whenher child was born, Then her new child was as herselfrcnen'd, Then the new mother came about her heart, Then her good Philip was ber all-in-all, And that mysterious instinct wholly died.

And when they buried him the little port Had seldom seen a costlier funeral. Newspaper readers may remember few months since, the Russian Admiral Lisoffsky replied to a letter addressed to him by a private soldier in the Union Army, by the name of L. H. Vermilyea. The Admiral's reply we published in The Friend, of 1861. Below will be found a letter from the same soldier. We have a most distinct recollection of this soldier, when a sailor, in Honolulu several years ago. The young man is well educated, as are tens of thousands in the Union Army ; that, a In From of Richmond, January, 1865. Key. S. C. Damon—Dear Friend :— After five years absence from your beautiful Island—so beautiful to seamen and whalemen after their toilsome and arduous duties North, and where mv thoughts often revert— . 29 I thought I would write to you once more, Dr. Hillebrand's Mission to India and knowing the interest you take in letters from seamen—old acquaintances—who have probably left the sea and roving forever. Hotv I sometimes long to visit your Island again ; and, were it compatible with duty and destiny, to live and die th re, in that soft, lovely climate, amid kind friends, interesting natives and tropical productions. I have been, since my return, to Cuba, Spain, Madeira, and the islands of the Atlantic and West Indies, but I have never come across the soft, genial atmosphere of a sunset and eve in the full at Honolulu. With all the hardships of a whaleman's life, I cannot but often think of the bright side—of the many pleasant hours passed among the beautiful islands of the Pacific. But duty and business calls me elsewhere. lam now in the army some twelve months, changed from the navy after twenty-five months service, at my own request. I have been through a great deal of hardship in the last nine months, and my health has partially given way since my last wound, under u severe and long-pro- tracted cold. I have been in every light and skirmish our regiment bus passed through, had five men wounded and one killed next to me, and been twice slightly wounded, the last time in my neck. Out of 1,140 men our regiment came to Bermuda Hundred with, last May, 150 remain 200 were discharged, their three years being up, leaving about 800 killed, wounded, sick and prisoners. I was home nine days at election time, on a sick furlough, and voted for Old Abe." " We buried the Copperheads so deep with ballots they will never be able to rise again. I occasionally see your letters in the Seamen's Friend, for 1 have had that sent to my friends since my return. You used to admire my drawings. I send a copied sketch of Gen. Ord, from the District of Columbia. The news I need not write ; the papers will keep you better posted than 1 could. I do not know how to make sure of your getting this, but shall try to send it through the hands of Mr. Seward, who used to send you documents. I know the impropriety of my communicating with him personally, but feel assured that his kindness and interest towards and for the soldiers and cause will prompt him to cheerfully forward this letter. The warm interest you and the Hawaiian Government have evinced for the success of our cause, I have read in the papers. Truly your friend, L. H. Vermilyea. P. S.— : " For right is right, since Ood il Uod. And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin." Letters.—The Chaplain has received Letters for John C. Marshall (3), William Biggs, of "Minerva," Arthur Wright, of "Fanny," Oscar W Case, of "fanny," and John J. Coksoan China. We regard the appointment of Dr. Hillebrand as fraught with consequences of vast moment to the weal or woe of these Islands throughout coming generations. From the fcllowing official notice, copied from the Hawaiian Gazette, of March 11th, it appears that the ostensible object of his agencyis to procure laborers for the planters upon these Islands i The Honorable William Hillebrand, M. D., having been commissioned as Royal Commissioner of Immigration, is intending to proceed to China and the East Indies by the first opportunity. Planters and others desirous of procuring laborers, are requested to send to the Commissioner a statement of the number of laborers wanted, whether for house-service or field-hands, and what proportion of women they are desirous of taking. Those who desire to secure a number of laborers from the first immigration may do so by depositing the sum of ten dollars per head for the required number. Application should be made within a fortnight, as it is not anticipated that the Commissioner will be delayed beyond three weeks. By order of the Bureau of Immigration. D. Kilakaua, Secretary. March 7, 1865. The Hawaiian Government is wise in thus " taking time by the forelock." Foreseeing that the future agricultural enterprises—sugar, rice, cotton—will require an additional number of laborers, it is a matter of considerable importance to ascetrain from what quarter of the globe those laborers can be the most readily obtained. Shall they come from China, India, the South Seas, Western Islands, Ireland, Germany or elsewhere? While this question is being solved, it does not require the wisdom of a savant to make known from whence will come the capital and mind to employ those laborers when they shall arrive on our shores. The list of passengers reported as arriving by every vessel from California tells the story. These men land in Honolulu, ride around this Island, visit the other Islands, and are carefully " prospecting," as the miners say. Some of these visitors return, and tell their story in California and Oregon; others remain, and commence tilling the soil. A change is coming over our Islands much more rapidly than many imagine. Shakspeare says : th<: affairs of men. " There is a tide in the Which, taken at flood, leads on to fortune." Hawaiian/ It is now flood tide with the Islands, and the tide is rapidly rising. We will only remark, in passing, that at such' a critical period let those guiding the helm of State see well to it that they keep the ship pointed aright, or their experience will be that of the unfortunate mariner described in �30 ihk the remaning lines nf Shakspearc, which we omit to quote. Hillebrand's mission we look upon as c of great importance, not only as regards laborers, but also as having an immense bearing upon the future products of these Islands. An eminent writer has remarked, " We cannot say positively that any plant is uncultivatible anywhere until it has been tried."—(Cooper.) We copy this remark from the Hon. G. P. Marsh's great work, Man and Nature." In the same book we find some most suggestive remarks upon of foreign " the modes of introductionwhich is we are subject a plants." This from Hillcbntnd Dr. confident will receive special attention. He will do all in his power to procure seeds of trees, vegetables, and plants of every description not already growing upon thf.se Islands, but natives of China and India. No person is better fitted for this peculiar department of labor. His botanical knowledge and general scientific information most eminently qualify him for the important mission which has been confided to him by the Hawaiian Government. May all possible success attend his mission. On the part of all American Missionaries residing in China and India, we would bespeak, in behalf of Dr. Hillebrand, a favorable re- KDr. " We conclude our remarks with the following extract from the work of the Hon. Mr. Marsh, to which we have already referred : Besides the vegetables I have already menitonetl, we know that many plants of smaller economical value have been the subjects of international exchange in very recent times. Husbequius, Austrian Ambassador at Constantinople, about the middle of the 16th century, brought home from the Ottoman Capital the lilac and the tulip. The Belgian, Clusius, about the same time introduced from the East the horse-chestnut, which has since wandered to America. The weeping willow of Europe and the United States [and the Sandwich Islands] are said to have sprung from a slip received from Smyrna by Pope, the poet, and planted by him in an English garden; and the Portuguese declare that the progenitor of all the European and American oranges was an oriental tree transplanted to Lisbon, and still living in the last generation. The present favorite flowers of the parterres of Europe have been imported from America, Japan and other remote oriental countries, within a century and a half; and, in fine, there are few vegetables of any agricultural importance, few ornamental or decorative plants, which are not now common to the three civilized continents." We cannot refrain from recommending to our thoughtful readers this work of the Hon. Mr. Marsh, who now represents the United States with so much honor at the Italian Court. In a late paper we have seen it intimated that he might possibly be transferred ml Oli, I NIL. IMS. Paris to become Mr. Dayton'.s successor. was. the American Minister at Constantinople. When such men as Adams at London, Motley at Vienna, and Marsh at Turin, represent the American Government, there is no fear that American statesmanship, diplomacy or scholarship will be ranked below par. to Formany years Mi. Marsh Legislation on Intemperance in California. Mr. Editor :—lt may be interesting to you, as a friend of the temperance cause, to know how similar the laws of California are, respecting the sale of ardent spirits, to those of the Hawaiian Islands. I am here in the shire town of Alameda county, and am thus in a way to notice the laws of this State. I notice that this State has enacted a law forbidding the sale of intoxicating drinks to Indians, just us the Hawaiian Government have forbidden the sale to native Hawaiians. In 1850, the following Act was passer! by the Assembly and Senate of this State: "If any person in this State shall sell, give, or furnish, or knowingly cause to be sold, given or furnished to any Indian, male or female, any intoxicating liquors, he, she, or tney so offending, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction thereof, shall be fined not less than forty nor more than five hundred dollars, or be imprisoned not less than ten days nor more than three months, or fined and imprisoned, as the Court shall determine." I remember there was formerly much opposition to the Hawaiian laws against the sale of liquors to native Hawaiians, on the ground that such legislation for one class was unequal. But here we seem to have an instance of such unequal legislation by as free, liberal and democratic a Government as there is in the world. I am not sure that tin' law is not open to complaint on the ground of not being equal, for not also reaching the white class. There has been a law passed in this State which seems to look in the right direction, though it is not quite what we need, nor in a shape to be properly enforced. It is a law that requires the rumseller to bear the costs of Court for every man convicted of committing crime through the influence of liquor. The penalties that most naturally follow a crime seem to be the best: so perhaps the best penalty for selling liquor would he this natural one, to make the liqjor-dcalers support all the destitute families impoverished by intemperance, and to pay all the costs of Court and all the fines of those convicted of crimes committed under the influence of liquor. But, as it would, !>•• hard to induce a society of thieves to enact prohibitions against theft, so perhaps it would be hard to induce a community that were almost uni- versally intemperate to enact laws against rumselling. If, in order to make the Hawaiian legislation more equal, the restrictions on the sale of liquor to Hawaiians arc ever repealed, it may be well to allow their repeal on the condition that the liquor-dealers be legally bound to bear all the pecuniary consequences of intemperence. It will thus be determined whether the liquor business is really lucrative to the Islands. .1. M. AI.EXA.NDtF. Extractof a Letter from Col. Armstrong. Before Ricumo.nd, .Inn.

It must die. The land is cheered by continual successes. Good men seem cheered by the wonderful advance of society in all humanitarian questions, and, in truth, it seems as if " Our God is marchinrr on." Yet Ido not exult. I endeavor to keep myself nerved for any issue or fat.- that may come, feeling that I would not leave the army if I could, and that there is no grander duty than the United States service. I am this month commanding a brigade of four regiments, in the absence of my superior, and find it pleasant though responsible. Yesterday, as my orderly was holding my horse, I asked him where he was from. He said he was from Hawaii! He proved to be a full-blood kanaka, by the name of Kealoha, who came from the Islands last year. There is also another, by the name of Kaiwi, who lived near Judge Smith's, who left the Islands last July. I enjoyed seeing them very much, and we had a good jabber in kanaka. Kealoha is a private in the 41st Regiment U. S. colored troops, and Kaiwi is a private in the 28th U. S. C. T., in the Pioneer Corps, Both arc good men, and seemed glad to have seen me. We arc now drilling actively, particularly at target, etc., for the next campaign, and in good weather we are at work all the while. There is no firing on our lines. My little log house is still cheery and warm. It is evening, and there is a bright fire of chestnut wood. Holly and cedar adorn my walls, besides various articles of furniture, dress and equipments. The Old Flag" droops by my side. My sword" glitters in the comer. Two chairs and a stool set around. A bunk on one side and fire on the other. I am quite contented, though I am two and a half years in the service without any leave of absence.

We grieve to learn that Mrs. Marshall continues ill, in consequence of her hardships and exposures while administering to the sick and wounded Union soldiers, on that terrible inarch through the wilderness, and from the Rapidan to the James River, last May. Some of the stem and grim features of war are rubbed off and softened down when ladies ol (he highest culture and refinement follow in the track of the Union armies, and, like angels of mercy, bind up the wounds of soldiers, and prepare for, them a cup of good warm coffee when returning from picket-duty, or lying bleeding and wounded on the bloody battle-field. Remember, reader, the rebels share in these kind offices; hence the more shame to those chivalric sons of the South, who are starving and murdering Union prisoners in Southern prisons. A day of reckoning is approaching. Late News from the United States. By every arrival from the coast we are receiving the most cheering news of the progress of the Union armies. The fall of Fort Fisher, the taking of Wilmington and Charleston, the triumphant march of Sherman, and the victories of Sheridan, foreshadow that the end of the great rebellion is approaching.

On the mofning of the 27th of April, the Archer, Captain Cressy, arrived, bringing the glorious news of the surrender of Lee's army to General Grant on the Bth of April. The terms were those proposed by General Grant. For details of the long series of Union victories, we must refer our readers to the columns of the newspapers published here and elsewhere, but we cannot refrain from making an allusion to the great and momentous events which are now transpiring in America. The grand collapse has come somewhat earlier than we expected, although we were confident what the end would be. It has never been our object to publish long extracts from the American papers, giving the details of sieges, battles, surrenders, victories or defeats, but when we have written (or spoken) it has never been in favor of what we honestly regarded the most unprovoked and wicked rebellion which ever existed. The idea that it might succeed by any combination of circumstances has always filled our mind with the most gloomy forebodings. But thanks be unto God it has not succeeded. It is gratifying to see that Americans in Honolulu, in every possible way, are disposed to express their most hearty rejoicings.

M \ V 34 the foot of the declivity, all pulled at the rope, but the god, either by a trick of the people or priests,'or from the difficulties which the inequalities of the rock presented, ascended with extreme difficulty. " The god will never reach the summit of the pali," said the kahunas, " if the Chief continues to walk before him. The god ought to go first, by right of power, and the Chief below and after him, to push at the lower end, otherwise we will never succeed in overcoming his resistance." The great Chief Kohaokalani complied with the advice of the Priests, placed himself under the god, and pushed him from below. Instantly the Priests and people dropped the rope, and the huge idol, rolling upon the Chief, crushed him in nn instant. They attribute the death of Kohaokalani especially to the Priests. story of Koihala. Koihala reigned at Kau. He was a great Chief, and perhaps the whole island recognized his authority. An abuse of power hastened his death. He had commanded the people of Kau to carry him food upon the plateau of Punaluu, at a place known us Puuonuhe. A band of men set out with pounded taro, (poi.) enveloped in leaves of ihe ki, called la'i, from the two words lav and ki. Arriving at the top of the plateau, which is very high, they learn that the Chief has set out for Kaalikii, ten leagues from Puuonuhe, and thathe has ordered them to carry provisions to this remote place. As soon as they-have arrived there, orders are sent them to go as far as Waiohukini, a half hour's walk farther in the same direction, and under the great pali of Malilele, on the beach. They depart. On arriving at Waiohukini, they receive orders to go to join the Chief at Kalae. There was the great pali to be climbed again, and two leagues more to travel. When they had reached the Cape of Kalae, which is the southernmost point of tbe Hawaiian group, they were sent to find the Chief at the village of Mahana. But he had departed from it to Paihaa, a village situated near Kaalualu, a little bay, where the vessels of the country still anchor. They were at last to find the tyrant. Exasperated, dying of hunger, indignant at the cruel manner in which the Chief made sport of their toil, the carriers sat down on the grass and deliberated. At once they decide that they will consume the provisions, without leaving anything for a Chief who amuses himself so strangely in fatiguing his people, (hooluhi hewa.) They resolve, besides, to carry him bundles of stones instead of taro. The doom of Koihala is pronounced; his unsupportable yoke is to fall. The determined conspirators, after having assuaged their hunger, depart, and soon arrive with a dejected air before the Chief, between Paihaa and Kaalualu. " Prince," said they, " here are thy servants with thy provisions." They humbly deposit at his feet the loads enveloped in la'i. The bundles are opened, and then the scene changes. These people, apparently half dead, suddenly become like furious lions, who prepare to devour their prey. They arm themselves with stones, ana make them hail upon Koihala and his suite, who perished at the same time. Two other great Chiefs of the island were slain by the same people. The one was killed nt . litt. Kalae, with blows of paddles, by fishermen, the other was stoned at Aukukano. These revolts against the Chiefs have given rise to several proverbial expressions, which they apply to the province of Kau. It is thus that they call it " Aina makaha," (land of torrents, i. e., si nation which breaks and carries away everything like a torrent;") makalin," (Kau the torrent,) "Ka "lv.-iKau kupnpau o na lii," (the sepulchre of the Chiefs ;) Aina llipi," (tin; rebellious land.) " Legend of Kiilcikini. He was a Chief of the olden time. On the edge of the sea, between Kealikii and Pohue, the Ayaves are engulfed under the ground, and shoot into the air, by a hole naturally hollowed out about fifty paces from the shore. The water spouting to an immense height, disappeared in the form of fine rain, and fell back in vapor for more than two leagues around, spreading barrenness over the land, so thai they could not The cultivate either taro or potatoes. Chief, Kaleikini, closed the mouth of the gulf by the aid of enormous rocks, which he caused to be rolled by the natives. One can plainly see that ihis hole has been closed by the hands of men. There still remains a little opening through which the water escapes, hissing to a height of forty or fifty feet. Kaleikini closed ;it Kohala, on the coast of Nailima, a volcanic mouth like that of Kau. On the height of Honokane he silenced the roarings of a cascade by turning its course. At Maui Hikina, he strengthened in its foundations the hill of Puuiki, which the high tides caused to shake. For this purpose he introduced into the caves of Puuiki an enormous rock, which arrested the fury of the sea and caused the shaking of the hill to cease. For these exploits and many similar ones Kaleikini was called a Kaleikini can be considered as "thoKupua." Hawaiian Hercules. Documents ou the Province of Punn. According to the common tradition, the province of Puna, two centuries ago was still a splendid country, possessing a sandy soil, it is true, but very favorable to vegetation, and not presenting in its roads any asperity for the feet. The Hawaiians of our day report that they learned from their ancestors that their great-grandfathers had seen the arrival of the volcano at Puna. Here, in a few words, is the tradition, such as it is preserved by the natives: Legend of Krliikuku. This great Chief reigned in Puna. He made a voyage to the Island of Oahu. There he met with a prophet ofKauai, by the name of Kaneakalau, who asked him who he was. " I am," replied the Chief, "Kehikuku, of Puna." The Prophet asked him then what was the nature of his country. The Chief said, " My country is charming. There is found there abundance ; there are only sandy plains to be seen, where everything grows wonderfully." " Well," replied the Prophet, "go, return to thy beautiful country ; thou wilt find it desolated. Pele has made of it a heap of ruins, the trees have descended from the mountains towards the sea, the ohia and the pandanus are on the shore. Thy country is no longer habitable." The Chief replied: " Prophet of evil, if what yon tell me i? trup, you shall live; but if, on my return to my country, 1 prove the falsity of your predictions, I will return for the express purpose, and you shall die by my hand." Not being able, in spite of his incredulity, to forget the terrible prophesy, Keliikuku set sail for Hawaii. Arriving on the coast of Hamakua, he landed, and traveled a few days on foot. From the heights of Hilo, at the village of Makahanaloa, ho perceived in the distance all his province overrun with chaos and a prey to fire and smoke. In despair, the unfortunate Chief hung himself, on the very spot where he had first beheld the frightful spectacle. This tradition relating to the meeting of Keliikuku and Kaneakalnu, is still sometimes chained by the kanakas. It was reduced to verses, which the ancients sung. It is becoming forgotten every day, nnd in a few years there will not remain a trace of it. Whether the prediction was made or not, the fact is that Puna has lieen ravaged by the action of volcanoes. Legend of the Chief Huu. The high Chief Hua, when he was at Maui, said to Uluhoomoe, his Kahuna, that he wanted uaus'' from the mountains. peculiar to the islands. " Uau" is a large bird Uluhoomoe replied that there were no uaus in the mountains, nnd that all the birds had gone to sea. Hua, getting into a passion, said to his priest, " If I send my men to the mountains, nnd they find uaus, then thou shalt die." After this threat, the Chief ordered his attendants to go and hunt these birds. They obeyed, but instead of going to the mountains they went to fish with nets on the shore, and caught many birds of different kinds, among which were uaus and uli/is. On returning to the palace, they declare to the Chief that they have hunted in the mountains. Hua caused his priest to be called, and said to him, " Here are birds from the mountains ; thou shalt die." Ulahoomoe smelt the birds, and said to the Chief, These birds do not come from the mountains, they have a sea smell." Hua, supported by his men, persisted in saying, as he believed, that they came from tint mountains, and he repeats his sentence: shalt die." Uluhoomoe replied, " I " Thou shall have a proof in my favor, if you let me open these birds in your presence." The Chief agTeed to it. They found little fish in the stomachs of the birds. " See my witness," said the Kahuna ; these birds come from the sea." Hua, all in confusion, flew into a terrible rage, and caused Uluhoomoe to be murdered on the spot. The gods avenged the death of the priest by sending a dreadful famine upon the island of Maui, " " - and then upon Hawaii. Hua, thinking to escape the celestial vengeance, went to Hawaii to escape the scourge, but a famine still more terrible pursued him there. The Chief ran in vain through all parts of the island, and died of hunger in the temple of Makeaneha, Kohala. His bones, after death, shriveled and shrunk up beneath the fires of a burning sun, to which his carcass was exposed. It is this that has given rise to the Hawaiian verse, quoted by every mouth te recall the famine which took place under the Chief Hua, a verse which no one has understood, and which has never been written correctly : "Koele na iwi o Hua i ka la." (" The bones of Hua are shrunk or dried in �I II X the sun.") On the Island of Hawaii there places which arc called by the name of this celebrated Chief. At Kailua, at the hamlet of Puaa ekolu, a pretty place, known by the name of Mooniohua, recalls one of the episodes of the misery of Hua. It was there that one day, running after food which he could never overtake, he fell asleep, overcome by fatigue and want. The word Mooniohua is probably a corruption of "the sleep"ingMoe ana o Hua." which meansiote»i.t.w«a. place of Hua.' exist many (Communicated.) Executions in China. The theoretical question whether man has a right to authorize, by legal forms, the extermination of human life, as a means of deterring crime, has long been discussed, and frequently disputed, but experience seems to show that nothing less than death is required to protect society from the assaults of those who arc unmindful of the sacredness of human life. At least such is the basis of modern law, among ourselves. Among the Chinese, the last resort of the law is far more extended in its operation. Murder, piracy, robbery, brigandage, and some other crimes which need not be mentioned, are all punished by decapitation, while rebellion against the authorities, as being the most atrocious of sins, is expiated by the most revolting tortures imaginable, the details of which are unfit for publication. In December, 1864, the great city of Loo-Chow (the Paris of China) was captured by the Imperial troops from the Tai-ping rebels, many of whom were condemned to be decapitated, though owing to the influence of the EuroPublic pean mercenary force, the torture was omitted. The writer visited that city on the 18th of that month, when he beheld the execution of sixty miserable wretches, whose crime consisted in differing- with the mandarins on the subject of government. The writer having joined several military officers, who were equally curious to witness this display of the law's dread authority, we proceeded in a body to the outskirts of the city, where lay the execution ground, and which we had been told might easily be found, from the circumstance of two towers standing just outside the same, and called "The Twins." We soon reached the place, and discovered the execution ground to be simply an immense court-yard, enclosed by a high brick wall, some thousand feet square. We expected to have seen execution-blocks, or at least some preparation nlready made for the tragedy which was to follow, but the hare ground, four whitewashed walls, and a few Imperial soldiers lounging listlessly about, were all that as yet had appeared on the scene, but wo had just arrived in time. A long cavalcade of officials and their attendants began to tile into the yard and take heir places on and around a low platform at one end,,which had at first escaped our attention. The prisoners were then driven in, the whole number, (sixty) being chained together by the necks. Five executioners then came forward, and placing twelve prisoners in a row alternately, on their knees, retired to the platform. The presiding officer then read tho Imperial rescript, or warrant. While this was being done, the closest scm- • rll KIN 0 tiny could not . MIT, 1865. discover the slightest concern on the part of the condemned. They did not laugh, but otherwise seemed as indifferent to their awful situation as though it were a matter in which they had not the slightest interest. However, we were afterwards informed that they had been drugged by the jailors previous to their leaving the prison. The warrant having been read, the executioners advanced to the end of the row which we had chosen, and there awaited for a few moments, when an officer, advancing towards the prisoners, waved a small flag. This MM the signal for the bloody work to commence. The five executioners then bared their arms and began to deal their blows, using a short hut broad and heavy sword. Each head was cut ofl" at one stroke, the man first taking a sight at the necks, adjusting the head straight, and then dealing his blow with great dexterity, sometimes using one and sometimes both hands. These human butchers carried on their work with astonishing rapidity, running from one criminal to another so as to avoid the jets of blood that gushed from the falling trunks, and occasionally changing their swords. The task was finished with anatomical precision, and not a groan was to be heard, nor did one prisoner flinch from the impending fate. In exactly four minutes, all the victims had been disposed of, and released from their sufferings. The officials now left the spot, while the heads were all carefully collected, and placed in small wicker cages, to hang from the walls of the city, as an in terrorem to all the rebelliously disposed. Sickened by such a barbarous display of the murder- ous form of Chinese justice, we hurried from the loathsome execution ground of Loo- Chow. Outre Pali. our DUat"iGhlysivB e read." Many of our readers have doubtless perused with interest the remarkable statements respecting the enterprise of Mr. Muller, the German who has established an Orphan School in England. The following, respecting u similar enterprise in New York city, will be read with interest. One of our Hawaiian young men, residing in the States, thus describes a lecture delivered by Mr. Towles, one of the Missionaries of the Howard Street Mission of New York city, which will be remembered as established by Mr. Pease some twenty-five years since,and with which the lecturer has been connected for many years. The anecdotes related strikingly illustrate God's providential care of the enterprise. Says the lecturer : " Once, on Friday, after paying tire week's bills, only seventy-five cents were left. Soon a man came in with a bill of fourteen dollars for potatoes. Mr. Towles and his companion, Mr. Van Meter, had no means to meet it, but just then the mail brought them a letter inclosing fourteen dollars and fifty cents. The bill was paid, and one dollar and tWMity-tive cents remained to commence with. At another time they had five dollars left, and they could see no other why but to co in debt. The next Sun- 35 day they were to go and lecture in the country, and take collections, but the Sabbat came, nnd the rain poured down in torrent so that they could not go out. On Monda following, one of the deacoiiß of a larg Brooklyn Chnrch came in and inquired aftc the poor children, how many they had, an< how much money they had in the treasur Mr. Towles told him they had four hundn children every day at their table, and on hundred and eighty widows to supply wit daily bread, and five dollars in the treasur Said the deacon,' But you arc not going i feed so many for a week upon five dollars ' age going to try,' said Mr. Towler ' We But you can't,' said the deacon. 'O, yes ; 'tho Lord never let us go hungry yet,' said Mr. Towles. Then the deacon said, ' Last night, as you know.it rained hard, and there were very few at our meeting. One of the brethren knelt down and began to pray for the Howard Street Mission. The others followed in the same strain, nnd when they rose, one said, ' Brother, shall we not answer our own prayers? They took a collection, raised two hundred and fifty dollars for you.' And so saying the deacon threw down the money and walked off". At another time Mr. Van Meter, as was his frequent practice, was going out west to find homes for some of his boys. The tickets were to cost one. hundred and sixty dollars and he had but twenty. Mr. Towles said to the boys, ' Get ready to fie at the boat for Albany at six o'clock.' Five o'clock came ; Mr. Van Meter thought it would have to be given up, but it had been advertised in the Tribune, and soon men began to come in with money, some with five dollars, some with ten, and so on, till they had all that was needed except twenty dollars. Mr. Towles was just sending to the bank for this when a letter was brought in. It was from a boy whom they had sent out west, and contained twenty dollars, which he had carefully laid by from his earnings for the Mission which had blessed him. They started, had a free breakfast the next morning, and a free lunch at Syracuse. At night they were to stop at Niagara. They took supper and rooms for the night, but had nothing to pay with, in the morning Mr. Y. said to the landlord, ' I did wrong last night, for I had nothing to pay for lodging, supper and breakfast, but here is my watch ; take it. ' O,' said the landlord,' 1After you had gone to bed, some gentlemen came in and paid every cent of your bill.'" " I think 01 rnach more of this nature, but will not repeat it," says tliw writer of the letter. " He also related anecdotes of poor chil dren who had gone out from them, both boys and girls, one of the former at this time being Governor of a Northwestern State. Also of those reclaimed from invcterately evil habits to those of usefulness. He said there were but few bad children." " I never saw such perfect faith and trust in God as Mr. Towles seemed to possess. He had some children with him, the largest a boy of 's size, and the youngest about ——'s. There were some quiet girls. A collection was taken up, and I think few �36 THE FRIEND, MAY, 1815. THE FRIEND, MAY 1, 1865. Extra Special Rejoicings. American residents in Honolulu observed Tuesday, April 25th, as"a day for special rejoicings over the good news from the United States. The fall of Richmond is, perhaps, the most prominent feature of the news, but combined with it is the long series of victories which have attended the Union armies. The surrender of S»vannah, Charleston, Wilmington and Fort Fisher, should surely call forth the most grateful thanksgivings from all loyal Americans. Look East, West, North or South, success attends the march of the Union armies. This is surely the beginning of the end of the most bloody civil war ever waged, but Americans and the whole civilized world should unite in rejoicings that the war is not terminating without putting an end to chattel-slavery in the United States, and leaving that nation to pursue its pathway of liberty and justice. A procession of Americans, singing "John Brown," inarched to the residence of Mr. Mc Bride, the American Minister, where a collation was prepared. Music and speeches flowed naturally forth as the expression of rejoicing hearts. The Rev. Mr. Corwin delivered an eloquent address. Impromptu speeches were made by Messrs. Austin, Carter and others. Mr. Mcßridc and Mr. Caldwell, our U. S. Consul, spoke with much spirit and appropriateness, and we were most heartily glad to hear both these gentlemen, in their addresses, make such prominent recognition of an overruling Providence. How marked the change in this respect among our public men—Senators and Representatives—from what it was formerly. President Lincoln has taken a noble stand upon this subject. God rules, and let Him have the glory. In the evening, fireworks and illuminations turned night into day. Several of the residences of Americans were beautifully illuminated. We noticed those of Captain Snow, Mr. A. D. and Mr. A J. Cartwright, Mr. Severance, Mr. Foster, Mr. Ludington, Mr. Haasinger, Mr. H. A. P. Carter, &c. In the morning one hundred guns were fired. and in the evening thirty-six guns. The whole affair was a grand success.

It is a somewhatremarkable circumstance that Mr. Andrews should have gathered and defined about the same number of words as are to bo found in the great folio edition of Johnson's English Dictionary. It contains 15,784 words derived from thirty different languages, as follows : From Latin, 6,732; French, 4,812; Saxon, 1,665; Greek, 1148; Dutch, 661; Italian, 211; German, 106; Welsh, 95; Danish, 75; Spanish, 56; and from twenty other languages, sufficient to make up the number specified above, 15,-784. Since the days of Johnson, the standard Dictionaries, Webster, Worcester and others, contain a vast number of additional words. The amount of labor which Mr. Andrews has bestowed upon his dictionary, we honestly believe will exceed that which Dr. Johnson devoted to his dictionary, if we can credit his own statement that he " might easily have done it in two years, had not his health received several shocks during the time."

Sparta, Wis. Linda May. " "Rebellion on its Last Legs." ' Thus writes our old friend and fellow-resident, Col. J. F. B. Marshall, to his brother, on Kauai, under date of February 1. From his letter we are favored with tbe following extract. The allusion to Lieut. Reynolds will be interesting to his old acquaintances upon the Islands: " Capt. Reynolds' present position is a strong contrast to his quiet retirement on Kauai. I had a long and very interesting letter from him the other day. He has a very responsible position at Hilton Head, and is very efficient, but, as he says, his spirit craves a wider fame. He is anxious to have his name restored to the active list, and he certainly deserves it, now that his health is so fully restored. He had had a very interesting interview with Gen. Sherman, who described to him his wonderful march. Reynolds, who before the war was it pro-slavery man, has become, since he has been in South Carolina, an out-and-out Abolitionist. We live in a wonderful era, and this war is bringing out a public sentiment far in advance of what in the ordinary progress of affairs would have grown up in half a century. The eyes of the people have become fully open to the great crime of slavery and its demoralizing influence upon the country. And we are indebted to the South for this progress. The people who madly rushed to arms to maintain the cursed institution and to found an empire of which it Religious Liberty in Chile. It is quite impossible for those who have always enjoyed the freedom of worshipping God according to the dictates of their consciences, to appreciate the disabilities and trials of those whose lot is cast in a country where the Catholic clergy rule, and where Protestants are not tolerated. It is gratifying to learn, from various sources, that in Chile the cause of religious liberty is gradually gaining ground. For many years after the English Episcopal Church was established there, the building was registered upon the city records as a stable. It was our privilege, in the summer of 1842, to worship in that stable. Since that date a vast progress has been made. For nearly twenty years, an American Minister of the Gospel, the Rev. D. Trumbull, has been battling in the good cause in Valparaiso. He has been gradually pushing forward every good enterprise, and when opportunity offered dealt blows for the truth which told. For several years he edited and published The Neighbor, which accomplished much good. Preaching in English and Spanish has been his principal work. For several years he has been Pastor of a flourishing Church. He took the ground that he would not preach in a stable, and he has maintained his position, and is respected for so doing. His policy has always been to boldly and fearlessly claim the right to worship God, and throw upon the opposers of religious liberty the odium of shutting up his chapel if they dared. They have not dared. This was the right ground, and eventually it will prevail in the most bigoted Catholic countries. Maximilian has proclaimed religious liberty in Mexico. The Pope has recently come out with a long letter, reaffirming the old Catholic doctrine upon this subject, but he is about two hundred years behind the times. In former years, it was our privilege frequently to receive and publish communications from Mr. Trumbull, but there being but seldom vessels sailing from Valparaiso-for Honolulu, our interchanges have ceased. By H. B. M. ship Clio, we have been favored with letters, from which we extract as follows : "Our Church accommodations have been enlarged—a new Hall for lectures, and an enlarged audience-room. About two hundred and fifty'is the number of our congregation, eighty in our Sabbath School, twenty in another school, besides the Anglican Church, which has at least fifty or sixty. We are trying to procure an assistant from good old Scotland, and have hope, though not as yet sure. My Church has about sixty members, and some about to unite with us. We have a local Bible Society, which sustains a sailors' and a shore colporteur. Last year we distributed eight hundred copies of the sacred scriptures and three thousand religious books, besides tracts and papers. I am hammering away for religious liberty, and for the reformation of manners and faith, not with all the success I could wish, yet with some. In our own dear land, God is showing his power. Man's wrath is working out God's praise. The nation is to be preserved and the enslaved set free. Three years ago I saw not how the crime of slavery could be put away, but God knew, and has well-nigh accomplished the " task." The imprecatory Psalms have their use now. I pray the Lord to break their right arm ; to scatter their armies ; to crush their schemes until they submit to the laws, and then would ask him to give them every blessing. This country is prosperous. Peru has had to make peace with her invaders. Rumor says they are now coining here to make demands." Extracts from a Letter of a British officer Traveling in the United States. The following temperance item is worthy of a place in our columns "The health of the army was said to be excellent, and certainly nothing could be more delightful than the climate during the time of my visit. But I suspect there is another cause to account for this satisfactory sanitary report. I was given to understand that the men got no spirits whatever, either directly from the Government or by purchase from sutlers, and that consequently tbe conduct of the army was very good. This, although convenient for commanding offisers, struck mc as a specimen of high-handed discipline which we should never dream of enforcing towards our troops. So rigidly is this rule carried out here, that I was told if a sutler is detected selling spirits, all his goods are forfeited." In referring to his visit to tho foundry where the Parrott guns are oast, he thus writes: "Before this struggle closes, there will be so grent a development and improvement in all kinds of arms, both for military and naval warlarc, that the world will act wisely in leaving itself open to profit by American : ingenuity." We have no doubt of it We add the following "I have traveled upwards of three thousand miles in the Federal States, and saw very little to remind me that the country was involved in war, and certainly nothing indicative of suffering or exhaustion. I have come to the conclusion that the resources of the Federals, both as regards men and money, are practically inexhaustible." : �Mil. I li 11.

Minister to Japan, we are glad to learn that Mangero is still alive. From the letter, under date of January 23, 1865, we quote as follows: "On my arrival here, I made inquiries about Mangero, but could learn nothing of him. After the arrival of the Wyoming, Commodore McDougall made like ineffectual inquiries, till one day we had a review of all the troops, and saw the Japanese Admiral, of whom the same inquiries were made, accompanied by Commodore McDougall's remark that he thought he had noticed him in the crowd of spectators. He was called forward. He had no swords, and said he was in disgrace, and had not dared to come forward until called. We did not learn the cause ofhis disgrace." Some of our readers will recall our notice of this Japanese, in The Friend of June 1, 1860. He was then interpreter of the Candinmarrah, the Japanese steamer returning from San Francisco to Japan. We hope again to hear from him, and feci confident we shall, if he should be allowed to communicate with " outside barbarians." San Francisco. March 31, 1865. Rev. S. C. Damon, Editor of " The Friend," and my Reverendand Respected Friends, Singular and Dual: Tbe inherent modesty which is part and parcel of my nature received an abrupt shock the other day, when, by the Whistler, I received a copy of Tbs Fbiens, with the following item in its pages: "It has been stated in print that .the D. S. Government derives annually $400,000 from Custom House duties imposed upon Hawaiian products. Will Mr. Ingots, residing in San Francisco, please furnish some reliable statistics upon thesubject I Wo know of no one who could doit better." I tried at first to think it might be my brother James, who is computing clerk for Messrs. Kellogg, Ilew3ton A Co., who was meant by the paragraph, "or any other man," save myself but I afterwards came to the conclusion, on reading the letter ofa common friend, in whichhe made allusion to "the call," thatit was I, and I alone, who was tbe " Mr. Ingols." Such being the case, I will at once to the task, and point out how I think it can be made up with accuracy enough to form an approximate sufficiently correct for generalisation. Let us first take the imports into Ban Francisco. The bulk of these are as follows: 142 70 % Coffee, 14,864 lbs, duty 5c per lb 23,767 62 Molasses, 269,468 galls, duty 8c per gal »,304 4u Pnlu, 664.600 lbs, (at 7c per lb, $46,522,) at 20 pr ct. 564 40 Salt, 308,000 lbs, at 18c per 100 lbs 266,668 71 Sugar, 8,851,957 lbs, at 8c. average duly 46 v,44» Rice, 377,978 lbs, at 2Jc per lb 2,000 00 ITnenumerated, at least -, $311,367 18 Being tor Bail Francisco alone fully Thus far I can go, but you will now have to call oo Collector Allen for the detailsof thecargoes from the Islands to Oregon. Boston, and New Bedford. As the duty is mostly specific on Hawaiian produce, except Hides,Wool and Fulu, it will be very easy to calculate the duty on the amounts given by him. The bulk ol the Portland cargoes were Sugar, say 1,000,000 lbs, which, with the molasses, would probably swell tbe duties collectable to |40,000. In round numbers, then, th* duties collected on the Pacific coast of theUnited States would not m) far from $340,000. The Eastern vessels' cargoes, as you wellknow, eoDsist mostly of Oil transhipped from American whalers,and therefore duty free. The balance of their cargoes are Bides Wool and sundries. I think It wouldbe safe to estimate that th* wholeof them did not pay over $50,000 to tbe Custom Rous*. You will see, therefore, that the person who gave you theestimate of 1400,000 at theamount of duties paid to the United States on Hawaiianproductions, must have entered into a calculationof a somewhat similar nature to mine,and I venture to say that an elaborate research (outside of actual Custom House figures) will not vary the result for th* year ISM, to the amonnt of $10,000 either way from $400,000. All ofwhich Is respectfully submitted. N. LOMBARD INOOLS. and General Factor. . Ib< 5 Rev. John Hall.—By a late vessel from Victoria, this gentleman came passenger.

JITNK I, 1865. It affords us gratification to record the fact that every possible effort has been made by loyal Americans and others in Honolulu to honor the memory and becomingly notice the death of President Lincoln. The sad intelligence was received May Sth, and on the following day at 12 o'clock M. there was at Fort street Church the largest gathering of foreigners, for religious purposes, we have ever seen in Honolulu. Mr. McBride, our Minister Resident, appropriately stated the object for which the assembly had been called together. The choir followed with appropriate music. Select portions of Scripture were read, and a prayer offered by the Rev. S. C. Damon. His Honor, Chief Justice Allen, then addressed the audience, and was followed by the Rev. E. Corwin. Their addresses have already been published. All the exercises were most solemn and impressive. Religious exercises becoming the occasion were also held in the Roman Catholic and Reformed Catholic Churches. The Hawaiian Government ordered the National Flag lowered, and all officers to wear crape for fourteen days. We cannot imagine any observance, omitted, the performance of which could have added a deeper solemnity to the day, or been the! occasion of showing additional respect to the Illustrious Dead. Events of such momentous magnitude as the closing of the civil war in America, and the death of President Lincoln, occur but seldom in the slow progress of centuries. The Great Rebellion had most marvelously disturbed the elements ol society and trade throughout the world, and now to have, from the receding thunder clouds of war, an angry flash prostrates the noble man at the head of the great Republic, makes the civilized world stand aghast. We hope the waves of political strife and civil war will soon subside, and when the elements do become tranquil and calm, may it be in obedience to Him who said to the troubled waters of the Galilean Lake, eighteen hundred years ago, " Peace, be still." May 24th, Queen Victoria's Bibthday. Mr. Green, H. B. M's Acting Commissioner and Consul General, gavea lunch at the Town Hall on this occasion. It was an exceedingly pleasant gathering of the citizens and sub- jects of various nationalities. Mr. Green merits the thanks of the community for thus observing this event. It is well to pour a little oil upon the troubled waters. Americans nre always happy to honor Queen Victoria. Not only is she a good Queen, but a good mother, and a good Christian. We respect and love her. Her influence has been good in all circles and walks of life. Her Court has been one of the purest that ever existed on earth, and the world has felt its influence. " Long live Queen Victoria." We have received letters from Rev. L. Smith, H. M. Whitney, Esq., and John H. Cole, Esq., in all of which there are references to the profound impression made upon the people of San Francisco, by the announcement of President Lincoln's death. 41 {(MSttttS, M.22.

How or " what a day impressively these scriptural declarations and those of my text are illustrated by events which have recently transpired on the other side of the globe. All the loyal people of that great country, stretching from the shores of the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Gulf to the Lakes, were preparing for such a day of thanksgiving and jubilee as never had been .witnessed on the Western Continent. The national feeling which, during four years of civil war had been repressed, was rising, and about to burst forth in such scenes and shouts ofrejoicing as would have made the " welkin ring." The dove ofpeace which had, during those four long years, been confined to the ark,rocked and tossed upon the troubled waters of civil strife, political contentions and cruel war, had now been released, and with the olive branch in her mouth, was winging her flight over mountains and valleys, broad savannahs and boundless prairies. The good news was flashed with lightning speed over the land and the world. The dark clouds were rolling away, and the sun of the nation's glory was beginning to shine, and the rainbow of peace was distinctly seen spanning a continent, as in days of yore, when lo ! from the receding black clouds of secession, treachery and slavery, there darted forth a fiendish �I II X 42 rHILMI, JIM.. 1865. arm, holding in its hand an assassin's dagger.

I bid you all an affectionate fare- merely by tho achievements of our noble " — • soldiers and the masterly statesmanship of our Cabinet Ministers, Senators and Representatives, but there was a power behind all these outward manifestations. That power was prayer—the prayers, too, of the poor. Washington he uttered similar sentiments at Says the son of Sirach. " A prayer out of a well." During the delivery of this short address the audience was much affected, and when it closed there was the hearty response, " We will piny for you." During his progress to ' 'poor man's mouth reacheth to the ears ol .God, and His judgment cometh speedily." will " He The hear the prayer of the oppressed." prayer of the humble pierccth the " clouds, and till it come nigh he will not be comforted, and will not depart till the Most High shall behold to judge righteously and execute judgment." Mr. Lincoln recognized that power of prayer, as I have already shown, when he left his home for the White House at Washngton. How intensely interesting the fact that .while he was thus occupied with the great and momentous affairs of thirty millions of people—of whom four or five millions were in open rebellion, and a million more were girded as soldiers, yet even amidst all these cares he did not neglect the poor who were lib neighbors, as the following incident will show: A newspaper correspondent from Chicago one day dropped m upon Mr. Lincoln, and found him busy counting greenbacks. " This, sir," said the President, in his cheerful way, " is something out of my usual line ; but a President of the United States has a multiplicity of duties not specified in the Constitution or Acts of Congress. This is one of them. This money belongs to a poor negro, who is porter in one of the Departments, (the Treasury) who is at present ill with the small-pox. He is now in the Hospital, and could not draw his pay because he could not sign his name. I have been at considerable trouble to overcome the difficulty and get it for him, and have at length succeeded in cutting red tape, as your newspaper men say. 1 am now dividing the money and putting by a portion labeled, in an envelope, with my own hands, according to his wish." Such unostentatious acts of kindness need no comment. Our Savior said, when upon earth, shall give to drink unto one "ofAnd whosoever these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward." I doubt not that the good man is now reaping his reward in glory for befriending the poor colored porter who could not write his name—sick with the small-pox in the Hospital. It is an interesting fact that the American citizen at home and abroad, however humble his lot, was not forgotten by him. When it was reported at Washington through the correspondence of our Minister, to Mr. Seward, that a sailor had been ill-treated at the Marquesas Islands, Mr. Lincoln immediately directs that five hundred dollars in gold be devoted to the purchase of presents, to/be distributed among Hawaiian Missionaries and others who had rescued the unfortunate man. It is an interesting fact that the very last public address which Mr. Lincoln ever made, March 17th, was in reference to colored soldiers being employed by the rebels. He remarked that he hoped they would try the experiment In all his efforts in behalf of the colored people of America, he has endeavored to manage the subject with an enlightened regard to the highest Christian duty to his country and to God. Having shown that Mr. Lincoln was actuated as a public officer by Christian principle, 1 am fully confident that he was truly an experimental Christian, one whose Christianity did not begin and end in a mere formal acknowl- ' edgment of Divine Providence. The follow- �fI X KRI t, N I), Jl.\ L, ing incident is reported by the Rev. Mr. Adams, a Presbyterian minister of Philadelphia. He was on a visit to Washington, and had made an appointment to call upon the President at the White House, at five o'clock in the morning. Says Mr. Adams, " Morning came, and I hastened my toilet and found myself at a quarter to five in the waiting room of the President. I asked the usher if 1 could see Mr. Lincoln. He said I could meet not. ' But I have an engagement to 'At ?' what hour 'At this morning.' him tive o'clock.' ' Well sir, he will sec you at five.' 1 then walked to and fro for a few minutes, and hearing a voice, as it ■in»»W conversation, 1 asked the servant, Who is talking in the next room ?' 'It is the President, sir.' 'Is anybody with him?' 'No sir, he is reading the Bible.' 'Is that his habit so early in the morning?' ' Yes sir, o'clock he spends every morning from four and praythe scriptures tive in reading to is ing.' " How beautiful an illustration this of the injunction of our Savior, " But thou, when thou praycst, enter into thy closet, and pray to thy Father which is in secret." How beautiful an instance of one who followed our Savior's devotional habit, who, " in the morning, rising up a great while before day," went out and prayed. heaven, lets down a stream ardent opens " Prayer s'ory on the consecrated hour l>r with the Deity in 01 man, audience I The following incident, however, sets forth Mr. Lincoln's views upon the question of vital godliness, in the very strongest light: Several months before his ever-to-be-lamented death, a gentleman called upon him on business. After the business was closed and they were about to part, the gentleman said to the President, " On leaving home a friend requested me to ask Mr. Lincoln whether he loved Jesus." The gentleman makes the following report : " The President buried his face in his handkerchief, turned away and wept." He then turned and said, " When I left home to take the chair of state I requested my countrymen to pray for inc. I was not then a Christian. When my son died—the severest trial of mv life—l was not a Christian. But when f went to Gettysburgh, and looked upon the graves of our dead heroes who had fallen in defense of their country, I then and there consecrated myself to Christ. Ido love Jesus." This simple and touching confession needs no comment. It opens to the world the heart and religious experience of the good man. The people felt that he was honest in all hi-t dealings with them, and so he was equally honest with himself and God. These few simple utterances, welling up from the depths of his heart, and accompanied with tears, will ever be cherished by Christians of every name and sect as the most precious sayings of his life. They touch the tendcrest chord in the Christian's heart. Christians of every name will ever regard him as a brother beloved, but departed, and when thinking of him as departed the language of the Burial Service will not be inappropriate ; "It hath pleased Almighty God, in His wise Provi-of dence to take out of this world the soul our deceased Brother!" Think not, my hearers, that 1 have brought forward these facts and incidents in the lifeit of our lamented President, because I think requirrs an argument in the style of special Ih«j. pleading to prove his adherence to the principles of Christianity and the doctrines of the New Testament. No, his Christian, as well as his public and political character, is known and read of all men. With him there was no reserve or concealment. His character was perfectly transparent. His faults as well as his virtues were equally apparent, ■ And e'eu hit failings ItaaYSj to virtue't tide." He went to the theatre on thatfatal night, the telegraph informs us, because he wished to please his friends and not disappoint the people, who were expecting the presenco of Gen. Grunt. , -' Hislire was gentle sutl the elements So mixed in him that Nature might stsnd up Aod say to all the world. This was a man." In turning our thoughts from a contemplation of his character to our bleeding country, the question forces itself upon every thoughtful mind, what will be the effect of Abraham Lincoln's assassination upon the Nation ? Our latest dates afford us, as yet, no facts by which we can satisfactorily answer this question. Time must determine. Our minds must for the present find consolation in dwelling upon the great truth that God lives and reigns, and that He is able and will make the wrath of man to praise Him." "We may also recall to mind some of those pages of history wherein somewhat similar events are recorded. When Brutus and his fellow-assassins smote down Cresar in the Senate at Rome, they supposed that with Caesar's death Caesar's influence would no longer be felt. They were disappointed. Caesar disappeared, but, exclaims Cicero, the acts of Casar's life, his writings, I'hisAllwords, his promises, his thoughts, are more powerful after his death than if he were still alive." So I trust, and doubt not, it will be with the life, writings, words, promises, thoughts of Abraham Lincoln. His blood has stamped an impress upon these which will immeasurably increase their value throughout all coining time. When the hired assassin, Balthazar Gerard, brought to an untimely end the eventful life of William the Silent, Prince of Orange, on the 10th of July, 1584,Philip 11., all the enemies of civil and religious liberty, imagined that with the death of the Prince of Orange would end his usefulness. But O, how disappointed were these men ! In the beautiful language of Motley, " The Prince was entombed amid the tears of a whole nation. Never was a more extensive, unaffected and legitimate sorrow felt at the death of any human being. As long as he lived he was the guiding star of a whole brave nation, and when he died the little children cried in the streets." The Commonwealth which William had liberated forever from Spanish tyranny continued to exist as a great and flourishing Republic during more than two centuries, under the successive stadtholderates of his sons and descendants. So 1 doubt not a similar result will follow the assassination of the il« lustrious man whose most unexpected death we now lament. He died the martyr to Liberty. He was assassinated by the hand of Booth, but it was negro-chattle slavery which nerved that arm and prompted that basest of crimes in the annals of nations. IThis was the crowning act of the slavehold- er, rebellion Sumter was fired upon on the 43 112th of April, 1861, Booth shot President .Lincoln on the 14th of April, 1865. The same bad animus that first struck down the flag in '61 fired the assassin's bosom when (he smote down the President, Commanderin-Chief of all the military and naval forces of the Republic. No powers of metaphysical analysis can separate the two. Perhaps it was needed that this crime of crimes should be perpetrated to arouse the minds of the American people to the awful enormity of the crime of slavery and treason. The deed has been accomplished, and henceforth and forever, in the minds of all loyal Americans and lovers of liberty throughout the. world, a stigma has been fastened upon the crime of slavery and treason which can never be wiped away. However much we may pity the unfortunate dupes of the leaders of that rebellion, the deeds of the instigators and leaders can never be palliated, for their crimes all culminated in Booth's assassination of Abraham Lincoln. How the perpetrator of that crime shall be punished remains to be seen, but woe be unto those who arouse the wrath of a nation of thirty millions of people ! Solomon compares the wrath of a King to " the roaring of a lion," and to " messengers of death ;" but to what shall be compared the people's wrath! Mr. Lincoln couki not execute that wrath ! He found it, from the overflowing kindness of his nature, almost impossible to punish the guilty. Perhaps there was no trait of his character to which his enemies took more exception, and over which his friends more deeply mourned. It sometimes seriously embarrassed the regular administration of justice. The officers ol the army and the Government said it was useless to arrest offenders and traitors, for Mr. Lincoln would pardon them. At the last meeting of the Cabinet, held only the day before his death, Mr. Lincoln expressed his determination to deal in the most liberal manner with the rebellious States. As it has been well remarked, " The great, capacious, manly heart.of Abraham Lincoln was generous enough to have embraced all within the forgiveness of its loving nature, and in their madness they have killed him." The best friend of the rebels was assassinated by one. of themselves, and no doubt if he could have again spoken he would have prayed in the language of our Savior on the Cross, " Father forgive them, they know not what they do." The event to which yourattention has now been called will not pass into oblivion and be forgotten. It was not done in a corner, but the crime was perpetrated, as it were, in the presence of a gazing crowd of spectators infinitely larger than that gathered in the theater where, it took place. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on the world's wide stage. There was a great cloud of witnesses. Now what shall be its influence upon the Nation and the world, we know not now, but we shall know hereafter. It will be overruled for good. How unspeakably thankful we all should be that he was spared thus long to the Nation, even to see a virtual ending of the rebellion. God permitted this stunning blow to fall for the accomplishment of some wise purpose. I do believe that in after years and ages it will be seen to have been necessary for bringing about the final triumph of justice nnd ttuth, and the punishment of the �THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1865. 44 guilty.

Surely we have witnessed enough to make us trustful and confiding. It seems to be a law or principle which God observes in his management of nations as we\l as individuals, that when He would bestow some signal favor He prepares the way by severe chastisements. Surely I think we may hope that God has great good in store for that people when he shall have chastised them for that great sin of slavery. That must be removed before the millennium come and the Gospel shall everywhere triumph. In the appropriate language of Longfellow, I would exhort you, "Look not mournfully upon the past; it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present; it is thine.

This question will not be satisfactorily decided until the negro has secured to him all those civil, social and religious rights which white men claim for themselves.

Dear Editor :—We have just read the details of the sad tragedy at Washington. Wt have not heard what were the feelings of our friends in Honolulu, or how they manifested them ; but here, though we have not the numbers nor the opportunity for public display, there was grief heartfelt and manifest when we heard the news, with irrepressible tears. We have all lost a friend, a father. I saw tears in the eyes of natives when they heard the sad news. Said one, 1 am grieved as if I heard of the death "of my King." Well may they mourn, for Lincoln was the true, single-hearted friend of man, of all men, of the poor, the despised, the crushed. How deep must have been the grief of the poor negroes who have so long hailed " Alassa Linkum " as their deliverer, and whom last New Year he greeted with such unexpected warmth. Better for the dying man, those tears of tbe poor, than all the rest of the mourning of his people. For their sakes, will Christ have assured him, " Inasmuch as you did this unto one of the least of these, my brethren, you did it unto me." God grant that this terrible stroke may incite the nation to no vindictiveness. May they rather, humbling themselves before the Lord, repent of their past complicity with slavery, and of their disposition even yet to make some sort of terms with it. Aroused by this culminating act of its malignity, may they at length, as a whole people, see revealed the depths of its diabolical villainy, and on the grave of their martyred leader, before the L° T4. vowrelentlessly to extirpate DEPARTURES. May of Abraham Lincoln and that of the Prince Each the idolized and successful leader of hisRepublic, in a mortal struggle with the principle of despotism, each struck down by the assassin's bullet in the hour of completed victory. Yours, B. of Orange. Loyal Americans in England.—I am not dazzled with the glitter of royally, but I am forced to feel a sympathizing apprecia- tion of those sentiments which underlie the most fixed and unfaltering loyalty. When I was in a vast assembly recently, not less than ten thousand being present, the choir sang "God Save the Queen." It was in the Crystal Palace, where hats were worn, and at the first sound of the tune, every man rose and uncovered. I could not help doing the same thing. And I was conscious, moreover, of having in my bosom the same warm love for the idea and the fact of Government in our free Republic. This is something which the subject of a kingdom cannot understand. He does not see a king or a queen, or any sacred personality, and hence he doubts the fact of government. Every loyal American can assure the world that Am Government is his Queen; that this impersonal and invisible thing is a sovereignty in his appreciation ; that for this great reality he is willing to suffer, and, if need be, to die. America is proving to-day that Government is a fixed idea, and a real thing, however it may lack the charm of a royal family. May God hold us firmly up to the great experiment, that we may prove to the world that Government in the interest of the people alone is not a dream, but a demonstrated fact.—Am. cor. in England. About 1500 children are already attending the public Schools in Charleston, S. C. There has been no parallel to this fact in the history of any captured city in the insurrectionary States.

Slipped tbe moorings and let her cuuie broadside on thereef, and began to save what provisions we could. The Agent of the A. 0.

In bait an hour we had to leave the ship, aa ahe was lying nearly oo her broadside, heeled off shore, and thumping heavily. During the night the masts went over theside, and in the morning she was all broken up. Sold the wreck to Capt. Babcock, Agent of the A. O.

Our neighbors, the Advertiser and Gazette, reported most fully the proceedings of the Fourth of July. The American portion of the foreign community made most generous provision for the due observance of the day. Never was the day observed upon so extensive and expensive a style on the Sandwich Islands. A general invitation was issued for all foreigners to occupy a seat nt the amply supplied tables. The Rev. Dr. Gulick was orator of the day, and a most eloquent oration was delivered by him. It has been published, together with several other appropriate addresses, in reply to the usual sentiments on such occasions. In the oration of Dr. Gulick there was one thought that merits repetition, until Brother Jonathan and all other members of Uncle Sam's large family, at home and abroad, shall act in accordance with the suggestion Jonathan may and must now " Brother over the swaggering of his younger give years. He is no longer an untried youth. He is a man and a Power on this earth. Let him put his hat squarely on his head, and walk like a man among men. He need not bully anybody, but he may calmly insist on fair play." : __ ■ Rich.—In a late number of the Gazette, we read with interest a Hawaiian between Brigham Young and correspondence of Dominis, Oahu, writing in the Governor name ofHis Majesty. Brigham's letter waa perfectly characteristic of Monnonism, while Governor Dominis' letter was curt, spicy and to the point.

There was no romance in the party of non-conformists in the wearing the life of the Puritan at his new home ; it of vestments to comply with the established was all u stern reality of heavy work which BY THE REV. A. BISHOP. most . Hip first labor was to level thtfallen timber, to cleat a place for a habitation, and cultivate a patch of ground for the subsistence of his family. When a little settlement had been formed by himself and neighbors, his next care was to build a school house at some snot where two roads crossed each other, for the instruction of his children in the rudiments of letters and the teachings of Christianity. Reading, writing and arithmetic were the principal branches of knowledge, making the Bible the reading book in the primary schools. It wits the Puritan principle to educate every child in the rudiments of learning, and in scripture doctrines and history. As Churches multiplied in the land, and the want of an educated ministry began to be felt, then a college was endowed for the higher brunches of a liberal education. These principles have been literally adhered to by their descendants, wherever they have spread themselves, down to the present time. Emigrants poured in from England and Scotland, families grew up and spread themselves over the country, towns and villages multiplied, and industry reaped its reward in a smiling plenty. Few became wealthy in those early days, but industry and frugality was sure to secure a competence, and squalid lorest and burn off the poverty was unknown. At the time of the American Revolution, a century and a half fom the landing of the first pilgrims in New England, not thirty thousand emigrants had come over to settle. This was the original Puritan stock which peopled America. They hnd increased at that time to more than half a million, and ■were mostly confined to the north-eastern States. And now, at a rate of increase equaling the fecundity of Israel in Egypt, their direct descendants number ten miliums, and are spread over the whole breadth of tbe continent, frqni Maine to California. Besides this direct line of descendants, all ol whom can trace their pedigree to the immigrants, they have infused their blood more or less into nearly every family of the land. I speak now of the Northern States, for a distinct race and separate civilization took possession of the Southern portion of the country. They also may lie found scattered all over the earth, in every city and seaport, and engaged in every important enterprise. At these Islands they are the holders of the greatest share of foreign capital, which is developing the capabilities of the country, and furnishing the revenue of the Kingdom. In the United States they are the moving power in all the great enterprises, civil, religious, scientific and military. They are heads and professors of colleges, academies ami schools of all kinds. They are directors and stockholders in railroads, manufactures and mining. Their ships whiten every ocean, and moor in every port, and they have given their civilization to the whole northern portion of the nation. All other races in the country become Puritanized in their descendants by being educated under the tuition of Puritan teachers. What are t/ie characteristic tenets of the Puritan faith ? They are not Calvinism, as such—they are not Arminianism as distinctive from other creeds, for Puritanism is not denominational, but constitutes the spirProtestant Churches- itual elements in all the �IHE HllliMi,- II 1.1 M, 18f $ gence or piety, and their descendants are at this day among the elite of the land. Their Churches too have kept the faith of their fathers, and with the English among them constitute the Presbyterian Churches of America. Both races freely fraternize one with the other, and when living in proximity unite in the same ecclesiastical connections. This remarkable race of Christians has been blessed beyond that of any other in these modern days. Their children are not all Christisns—some of them indeed have forsaken the faith. But as a race whom God has blessed, there is no other like it. ality, though called Methodists. In Scotland He has owned and multiplied them, has they constituted that portion of the Presby- opened a wide continent for their free culterian Church which refused the forced con- ture, has given them homes of peace and formity to prekicy attempted to be imposed plenty, their children have been reared to Nor in Church organization are they peculiar to any form of Government. As before stated, the English Puritans originated in the Episcopal Church, and, as a body, they would have continued there, had they not been ejected for non-conformity in vestments and rituals. Such as consented to conformity remained, though holding a faith in common with those ejected. These were driven forth into independency and Presbyterianism as a matter of necessity. In England they were mostly Calvinists until the rise of the Wesleyans within the national Church, for these were also Puritans in re- • by the Stuarts. All these adhere to the great Protestant principle of justification by faith ; the reception of tne Scriptures of the old and new Testaments as the only rule of faith and practice; and that no precept not there inculcated is binding upon the conscience of the believer, as necessary to salvation. That all Church ordinances not found in the scriptures are non-essentials to a true Church. And that while not denying the validity of Episcopal ordination, they maintain the equal validity of Presbyterian ordination, as the true manner of the early New Testament Churches, before prelacy became developed. In regard to the Christian Sabbath, they hold that the fourth command of the Decalogue is still binding upon the Church. That as one of tho precepts of the Moral Law, it has never been rescinded, and is to continue binding on all as it was from the beginning, at the creation of man. And that rest from labors and worldly cares on one <Jay in seven is essential to the moral and physical welfare us much as is tho observance of any other divine law. One other distinguishing feature of the Puritan faith is that Regeneration is the work of the Holy Spirit alone, on the mind and heart of the subject, and that Baptism is only the outward sign of the inward Spiritual grace ; just as the bread and wine of the Lord's Supper symbolize the broken Body and spilled Blood of the Atonement on the Cross. In a word, then, the tenets of Puritanism are not denominational, for no sect was ever named Puritan, but that common belief of the pious in all Protestant denominations, which being equally recognized by all as scriptural, and not of human authority, are essential to purity of faith and practice. The denominational peculiarities of each cct are considered non-essentials, and ought not tn hinder their mutual charity for, and interchange of mutual communion with each Other, while each is allowed lo cherish his own peculiar preferences without destroying r Christian charity towards others. While the English Puritans emigrated to New England, ihere were also a portion of the Scotch Church tlriven from their homes by the attempt of the Stuarts to force the prekitical ritual and rule upon them. These emigrants settled mostly in the Middle States.

The Board or the Hawaiian EvangelAssociation.—This is the executive body of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association.

Our readers are familiar with the heading wanted," and the question is Information " often asked, "do you ever obtain information respecting seamen advertised in your paper?" Very frequently we do. An instance of this description occurred since the issue of our last number, which is worthy of record : Capt. Hammond, master of the Arctic, applied for information respecting Daniel C. Gray, belonging to Salem, Mass., who left home in September, 1881, on board ship Andes, bound for China. He had not been at home since that date, and the report was that after leaving his ship in China he came to the Sandwich Islands. While conversing with Capt. H. respecting the young man, our remarks attracted the attention of Capt. Clements, master of the lumber vessel Constitution, from Puget Sound. Greatly to our surprise, Capt. C. reported that this young man, D. C. Gray, together with two others, was drowned in the " Sound " last Christmas day, while crossing over to the British coast. The young men were in an Indian canoe. At the time of his death he was known as William Forsyth, but Capt. Clements was confident that his real name was Daniel C. Gray, for he had conversed with him respecting his friends and the manner of his leaving home. Michael Smith was the name of one of the other unfortunate men who were drowned. The name of the other Capt. C. could not recall. As seamen read this* incident, we hope it may suggest to their minds the importance Music and Literature. Hawaiian Mission Children's Society. A German, who has had much experience in teaching music in Honolulu, and is conversant with the musical talents of our people, recently informed us that there were over 300 pianos (many of them of a superior quality,) and melodeons upon the Islands. By almost every arrival from San Francisco, Boston and England, new instruments are imported. Among our foreign resident population there is a marked tendency to cultivate the musical talent. The Amateur Musical Society has had a good influence. The practice of music, both vocal and instrumental, has had its influence among the native population. We rejoice to learn that many of the better educated Hawaiians are good performers on the melodeon and piano. The missionaries have always encouraged efforts of this nature, and in some of the Churches good choirs have been organized. It is gratifying also that our foreign resident population is inclined to reading. Books and periodicals of every description abound in all parts of the Islands. Some possess good private libraries, not large, of course, but yet an amount of good reading matter which is exerting a most happy influence upon the rising generation. The Hawaiians have now their two weekly 'newspapers, A society among the children of the American Missionaries on the Islands has been in existence about thirteen years. The Xlllth Annual Report now lies before us. It is customary for the members to address each other as " cousins." The objects of the society are to keep up mutual and friendly correspondence with each other, preserve a record of their wanderings, and at the same time aid to forward the good work of Missions. From the Treasurer's Report we learn that during the past year the society expended 81,001,48. They support one Hawaiian Missionary at Marquesas, another at Micronesia, and assist schools on these Islands. They hold monthly meetings, which are reported as very interesting and entertaining. At these meetings correspondence is read, and a manuscript newspaper, entitled the Maile Wreath." The value and importance of the organization cannot be overestimated. From the Corresponding Secretary's Report we take the liberty of quoting the following paragraphs, respecting the soldiercousins in the American war " Under this head we will place first Col. S. C. Armstrong, (though Capt. Conde has already been spoken of,) because he so faithfully remembers us in all his wanderings, and even snatches time amidst all his multitudinous cares to write the Society, or sends directions for his home letters to be shared by us. His account of Thanksgiving in camp, published in the " Maile Wreath," was enjoyetl by all who read that paper and his last letter, dated in camp during Christmas and New Year's week, was a most valuable one, giving much information as to the amount and kind of work he has to perform in commanding a regiment. Our Cousin is now Colonel in the regulararmy, Bth United States colored troops, 25th Army Corps. At the issue of our last report he was stationed at Port Royal, South Carolina. During the past year he went on an expedition to Florida, and returned safely. At the opening of Grant's campaign south of the James, he was recalled to Virginia. Here in the trenches before Petersburg he spent some months of most laborious service. He fell ill from exposure and the want of sleep, and was in the field hospital a few weeks, but soon resumed his station. In March of this year he took a furlough and visited New York, and at last accounts had again taken his position at the front, and we confidently hope we shall be able to record that he was one of the victorious favored heroes who entered proud Richmond and witnessed the finale of the war. June 10.—Sincereading this report, news has been received confirming our hopes, but the particulars are meagre, for our Cousin wrote with his left hand, his right arm having been broken. He was in Fortress Monroe Hospital, and had received while there his commission as Brevet Brigadier General. Soon after our last annual meeting the sad news was received of the death of Lieuten- which are extensively circulated. The number of persons among foreigners and natives who are able to write interesting and able articles for the newspapers is quite large. These facts speak well for the present and future of the Hawaiian race. Those influencing the public tastes of the people in music and reading may well take courage and press forward. Music, reading and genuine refinement, combined with an elevated Chrisof keeping their friends constantly informed tian sentiment, are the highest ornaments of of their wanderings.

" : ; �1 II X FRIEND, A I Joseph C. Forbes, instantly killed on the 31st of May, 1864, at Dallas,"Georgia, by a rebel sharp-shooter. His remains were embalmed through the efforts of his brother William, and sent to his parents in Kendalville, Indiana. So here we add a second name to Hawaii's noble dead " from our ranks. " William T. Forbes, who was transferred during the year 1863 from the Army of the Potomac to the West, was engaged in many battles, among them Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain, participated in all Sherman's noted campaigns, went with him in the world-renowned march through Georgia, and was a while in Savannah. While there he was virtually Governor, being appointed Assistant Adjutant General and Chief of Staff with Major General Geary." ant Negro Suffrage.-In glancing over files of the American papers, the most prominent question of discussion appears to be the status of the negro. Shall he, or shall he not be admitted to all the civil and political rights of the white inhabitants ? This is the question. •Of course there is a great difference of opinion upon the subject. Such men as Chief Justice Chase, Senator Sumner, and a host of leading men of the Republican party, take the ground that the negro should now be permited to vote and enjoy all the civil and political rights and privileges of the white population. In our opinion these men occupy the only consistent and correct ground. The negro has nobly fought for the country, and now not to allow him all the privileges and rights enjoyed by his fellow soldiers, would be wrong. A loyal negro, true to his country and flag, is surely as good a citizen as a rebel, although he may have recently taken the oath of allegiance. We hope Americans will start aright this time. Give the colored man a fair start, and let him try for himself. We believe most fully in the doctrine that all men should enjoy equal civil and political rights. The tendency is towards that point in all lands. Revolutions go not backward. We are happy to welcome J. Q. A. Warren, Esq., late editor of the " California Stock and Wool Journal." Mr. Whitney writes us under date of San Francisco, May Ist, bespeaking for a brother of the editorial fraternity a kind welcome. We are always glad to meet with those whose services are devoted to " enlightening the public " through the columns of some daily,weekly or monthly journal. Editors may be given to abusing one another before the public, but it is generally the case that, like the two lawyers who were given to " abuse before the Court," in private they were very good friends. We hope our editorial brother will meet with a kind reception wherever he travels upon the Islands. (. I Si . 61 1865. A brig, en route from San Francisco to Japan, lately touched at Koloa, having on board as passenger Wyllie Lougum, Esq., the newly appointed U. S. Consul to Japan. While on shore, the guest of Dr. Wood, he remarked (he is from North Carolina,) that there " was a majority of 60,000 against secession at the time the leaders forced the State of North Carolina out of the Union, and that a large majority of the South who now see how they have been misled by Jeff. Davis, would rejoice in his execution." Editor's Table. A IliseotKSE delivered in the village Church, in Amherst, Mass., March 2d, 18K4. at tho funeral of the Rev. Prof. Edward Hitchcock, D. 1)., L. L. I)., by William & Tyler, Professor in Amherst College. The Reverend Professor chose for his text Ist Kings, 4:33. •' And he spake of trees from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop, that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes." A most apt and appropriate text from which to draw suggestions, at the funeral of one who had devoted his long and useful life to the study of natural history or the physical sciences. The perusal of this admirable discourse revives in our mind the most pleasing recollection of one of America's noblest sons. Few men on the continent of America have done so much for science as Prof. Hitchcock. He was passionately devoted to the study of Geology and affiliated sciences. However ardently he loved his favorite studies, yet he ever walked humbly with God, and most reverently bowed to the God of Divine Revelation. He saw " God in Christ reconciling the world unto himself." His work, The Rev. E. T. Doane.—We rejoice to welcome this earnest missionary on his returh to his old field of labor in Micronesia. He expects to leave with his wife and son in two or three days, passengers on board the schooner Pfiel. The vessel will sail direct for the Marshall Islands, and may possibly reach Ebon before the Morning Star. Mr. Doane's former experience in Micronesia admirably fits him to enter upon his missionary labors with the most encouraging prospects. He is familiar with the languages of the natives upon both the Marshall Islands and Ascension.

Dr. Bellows, President of the United Stales Sanitary Commission, ad- dressed to Dr. Wood : L'bited States camtaky Commissios, 828 J Bsoadwat,New Yore, May 16,1886. i Dr. R.W. Wood, Honolulu—Dear Sir —I have to-day had the pleasure of receiving a draft from Sather & Co., for seven hundred and twenty-three dollars and fifty cents, ($723,50,) being the proceeds of the sale of $500 in coin, sent by you to the Saritary Fund. In acknowledging this generous donation I congratulate you and all the friends of our case in Honolulu upon the glorious success of our arms and the essential finish of the Confederacy ! The capture of Jeff. Davis in his wife's petticoat has added a ludicrous finale to the capture and surrender of Lee's and Johnston's forces. All here feel that the work of'crushing the Rebellion is essentially done, and that we have now only to close up the wounds the war has made. There seems no reason to fear any great difficulty in this. The South knows itis beaten, and that Slavery is dead, and seems ready to accept the fact. We do not anticipate either a guerrilla war or a long public disturbance. We expect the States to gravitate back into their old positions— minus the pe- culiar institution. The Sanitary Commission will continue its work for at least a year, in collecting pensions, looking after disabled soldiers, and seeing the returning army safely restored to civil and domestic life. We shall establish temporary homes and sanitaries, which will demand a good deal of money. Thanks for your present help. With hurried regards to all friends in the Sandwich Islands, I am your obliged friend, Henry W. Bellows, President U. S. Sanitary Commission. Decidedly Laughable.—Some of FRIEND, AUGUST, 1865. Many of our readers having contributed to the funds of the United States Christian Commission, will be interested in reading the following extracts from a letter writthe Editor, by Mr. James Daly, well known in Honolulu : ten to Camp Stobbmax, near Washington, D C, June 12,1866. Dear Bro. Damon:—*** I am in charge of the Christion Commission Station in the Ist army corps, Hancock's Veterans. We live in tents. With such assistance as I could pick up, I built a large chapel for this station. It will seat 400 easily. On the day it was completed a tornado came, and away it went. The great canvas roof went up like a balloon, taking the frame with it. However, I built it over again, and I hope it will stay now. This humble canvas chapel has been the means, under God's favor, of much good. We have preaching in it every night. I know of several conversions, several re-conversions of backsliders, and there is now a quiet but deep interest prevailing through the camp. I have nowhere seen better prayer meetings than we have seen here. Four hundred men in " prayer meeting is a goodly number. Men are coming from noted gambling tables to converse with me upon the soul's interest. I hope some day to be permitted to sit on a Sabbath in the old place in the Bethel, and to hear your voice again, as in the years gone by. My work here will close about the Ist of Jnly. Then I will return north for vacation, and preparation for my next Senior year. How gloriously God has vindicated our cause. The collapse of the proud rebellion is completed, and so sudden it surpasses all expectation. I saw the great review of the armies of Grant and Sherman in Washington last month. I saw, I suppose, 160,000 veterans under arms. It was a splendid pageant. Now the great armies are rapidly and noiselessly melting away to enjoy their accom- plished work. the I have heard of the safe arrival in Newof Confederate Bonds in England are York of Rev. L.

The punishment of vagrancy, however, will not be permitted on the part of negroes any more thaitsßn that of whites. The testimony of colored persons will be received in all cases before the Military Courts in this department. Gen. Hartsuff, Commanding at Petersburg, has forbidden, in an official order, the holding of any meetings by the planters to establish a fixed price for the labor of negroes, nor to make distinctions prejudicial to their interests. No difference in the rate of labor by whites or blacks will be allowed. MARINE JOURNAL. PORT OF HONOLULU, S. I. ARRIVALS.

SEPTEMBER 1, 1805. "Burn, sink and Destroy." One of the shipmasters, recently arrived from the Arctic ocean, in order to prevent the burning of his vessel, endeavored to reason the question with Capt. Waddell, but the discussion was very abruptly brought, to a close, by the remark, "My orders are to ' burn, sink and destroy/ We are not surprised at such an orWr. It is fit and becoming that the so-called Confederacy should have sent forth armed vessels, to cruise under such instructions. It harmonizes with the policy of a set of men, who did not blush to publish to the world that they were founding a Government with " negro chattel slavery as the corner-stone." It is also in keeping with the policy of the rebel leaders for Captain Waddell to express his ready assent to the report of President Lincoln's assassination, but to be incredulous respecting the surrender of Lee, the fall of Richmond, and the collapse of the so-called Confederacy. The conduct of the commander of th% Shenandoah harmonizes with the policy of a Government which could approve of the Fort Pillow massacre and the starvation of Union prisoners held as prisoners of war. No wonder, while executing such an order, he was unwilling to look his captive skippers in the face. As this is an age of retributive justice, or, as some style it, of poetical justice—in other " {®l&StriK, *)01.2i. 65 words, a fast age—we may expect soon to hear that the Shenandoah has been " spoken" by some American or English war-ship. Justice does not nowadays travel at a snail's pace. Davis is safely lodged in Fortress Monroe, Stephens in Fort Warren, and about thirty of the rebel leaders have been indicted for high treason, while Lieutenant Maury, so long the pet of the Government at Washington, after spending four years in England abusing his native counWe did not try, is now begging a pardon think that such men as Commodore Tatnall and Lieutenant Maury would ever beg that they might be allo.ved to take the oath of allegiance. Verily, Southern chivalry is at a discount. No, it has not quite expired. One more spark flashes out amid the burning and sinking wrecks of the helpless whalemen in the Arctic Ocean. Captain Waddell declines to " bum, sink and destroy" the James Maury, because Mrs. Gray, wife of the late master, is on board. On first hearing this report, we felt that Capt. Waddell was really one of those chivalric sons of the South we have read of; but, oh, what a come-down, when we learned that he had bonded" the vessel for about forty thousand dollars. Let no Southerner, after this act of meanness, talk about the Yankees' love of the almighty dollar. He knew that a few ships must be spared, but to select the James Maury as one, and then say that he did it out of respect to the late captain's wife, by no means elevates his character in our estimation., If Capt. W. had been the gentleman he claims to be, he would have said nothing about the " bond." Waddell, like Shylock, would exact a " bond," but we fancy that when he would collect the "bond," he will find himself in a worse dilemma than was Shylock, who claimed his pound of flesh," but barely escaped with " a halter gratis, nothing else." Not only was the Janus Maury " bonded," but compelled to take on board near two ! " " hundred of the crews of other ships, besides supplying another of the "bonded" ships with thirty barrels of provisions. We think, however, Capt. Waddell's generosity, humanity and chivalry culminated in that beautiful quotation from the lingo of a Feegean cannibal. When the master of one of the "bonded" vessels remonstrated, saying that there were not sufficient provisions on board to supply the ships company until the vessel should arrive at San Francisco, Capt. Waddell bluntly and gruffly blurted out the remark, Eat a kanaka." It must " have been some members of the Waddell family, we opine, who were in command of Andersonville, Libby, Castle Thuffer, Belle Island, and other noted Southern prisons. "Magnifique, Excellent, Pretty Fair !" On beholding Weed's large photographic views of scenery on Maui and ofHonolulu, we involuntarily exclaimed in the above language of the Frenchman, whose astonishment on a certain occasion well-nigh overcame him. The age of wonders and art has not passed away. Knowing the difficulties attending the ascent of Haleakala, we are more than astonished to learn that he succeeded so well in taking views of the largest crater in the world. In a double sense the old Latin phrase, " Res magna est," will apply, to which phrase our late jocose President Lincoln is reported to have furnished the following apt translation : "Itis a big thing." A letter dated Bankok, Siam, April 29, 1865, and written by the Rev. Dr. Dean, of the American Baptist Mission, has been received, informing the editor that a sealed tin box, containing rare and valuable seeds, has been sent to his address. The letter was received by the Onieard's mail, but the box has not come to hand. Any person in San Francisco, or any shipmaster, having said box in possession, will confer a great favor by forwarding the same, and all expenses will be paid. �1H E ¥KIE M U 66 Wreck of the 'Brother Jonathan.' Loss of Nearly All the Passengers. from theH. F. Bulletin. Jacksonville, Obeoon, August 1, 10 P. M—A I soldier arrived this evening from dnip Lincoln bring j tag a dispatch to Colonel Drum. He reports the | Brother Jonathan, with Gen. Wright, staff and family, and between two and three hundred passengers, lost near Camp Lincoln on July 30th, except fourteen men and one woman, who were saved. No particulars vet. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. The steamship Brother Jonathan, had the engines which were in tbe steamship Atlantic, which dragged her anchors, drifted on shore anil was wrecked at Fisher's Island, Long Island Sound, on Thanksgiving night, November, 1848. She was cut down and rebuilt under the supervision of Capt. Aaron M. Bums, in this city, two yoars since, and was considered one of the Btauncbest vessels afloat in the wtters of tho Paoifio. The Brother Jonathan was owned by the California Steam Navigation Company. She left here on Friday last, at 10 a. m , under command of Capt 8. J. DeWolf. Wo learn that tho only staff offioer whosswent up with General Wright was Lieutenant E. his Adjutant. Mrs. Wright accompanied her husband. The Oeneral, as has heretofore been announced through the columns of this journal, was en route to Fort Vancouver, to take command of the Department of the Columbia, to whioh he had lately been assigned by the General Government. The following dispatch has been placed at our disposal : Camp Lincoln, (via, Jacksonville, Oregon,) July 81st, 1866—[Received at San Francisco, August Ist, 1866. at 10 p. h] To Col. R. C. Drum :— At 2 P. M., yesterday, the steamer Brother Jonathan struck a sunken rook, and sunk in less (ban an hour, with all on board, except 16 persons, who escaped in a small boat, tbe only survivors of the ill-fated ship. No trace of tbe vessel is left. I was out last night on the beach with fourteen men; shall keep a party out on the beach. General Wright, family and staff are supposed to be last.

Tho Brother Jonathan had six boats on board, three of which were Francis' Patent Life Boats, and the others common ships' surf boats, of capacity to carry 260 people, which is more than the whole number on board. Capt. Connor, of the Sierra Nevada, who arrived from the North on Monday, reports that ho paused tho reported scene of the wreck, at 11 A. M , on Sunduy, and expected to meet the Brother Jonathan near that point, to exchango papers, but saw nothing of her. There was a strong wind and heavy sea ut the time, lie thinks that she foundered about 26 miles to tho north of Cresoent City. There are two places a few miles apart in the vicinity, at which boats could land, and be thinks it possible that some of the passengers may have landed in the other boats, at a poiut eight miles from Chetkoe Harbor, where those reported saved came ashore. Captaiu Jackson, of the Del JVorte, thinks tho Brother Jonathan may have foundered at a point ten miles above Crescent City, in which case some of the boats may have run down to that point. It is to be regretted, in view of the ravages of the pirate Shenandoah, and this great public calamity, that not u Government vessel of any description is now here, except tho revenue cutter Jus Lane, either to protect our commerce or render assistance in recovering the bodies of the victims of the disaster, and ascertaining whether any not yet reported have survived. Mr. Nesbit, of the Evening hulldin, was on a trip to Oregon, Washington Territory and British Columbia, and started with the intention of being absent four or five weeks. He was unmarried, and leaves no relatives in this country. Mr. I'. iohards was of the firm of Richards •& McCraken, well known merchants of this city. Victor Smith, formerly Collector at Port Angelos, Puget Sound, was wrecked ou the Golden Rule, on Ronoador Reef, last month, and the illness which he that time was the cause contracted from of his remaining here when the lost steamer sailed. James R. Richards waa a member of the wellknown Front Btreet firm of Richard 9& McCraken. He was on his way to Victoria to meet his wife, who was en route from Honolulu to Viotoria, on one of the vessels to the firm. He leaves several children here. J. S. Geddes was of the firm of Bosworth & Geddes, another prominent Front street firm.

News from the "Shenandoah." Wholesale Destruction of American Whalers. From the San Francisco Bulletin. The correctness of the speculations in yesterday'o Bulletin aa to tho whereabouts and probable operations of tho rebel pirate Shenandoah has been only too speedily verified. The arrival of the whaling bark Alilo, Capt. llawes, in our harbor, this morning, brings us news of the most extensive and wholesale destruction of American shipping yet committed by any rebel pirate sinco the beginning of the war. We will commence the story by u Chronological Account, as near as can be ascertained, of the operations of the Shenandoah. The pirate boarded a Hawsiiau schooner on Ihe 30th of March, in lat. I 63 N, lon. 167 W, which was the last news we had respecting her. He inquired of the captain of the schooner the location of our whaling fleet, and, it appears, imnit diately steered in that direction. '1 wo days after wards, on the Ist of April, the pirate reached Aa cension Island, where she found lying at anchor the Kan Francisco whaler Kdward Carey, Capt. Baker, with 275 bbls sperm oil ; the Hawaiian bark Hat ■ vest, Capt. Eldridge, with 300 bbls; the American bark Pearl, Capt. Thompson, empty, (sailed from Honolulu,) and the ship Hector, Capt. Chase, with 276 bbls. All of these vessels were burned, and their officers aod crews, with the exception of those men who joined the pirate, were left on Ascension Island. The Shenandoah then set sail for the Oohotsk Sea, where, on the 27th of May, she captured the whaleship Abigail, Capt. Nye, with 30 bbls sperm oil. After remaining alongside the Abigail one day, and taking from her such clothing, small-arms and liquors as were wauled, she was committed to the flames, nnd, with the Abigail's crew on board, the pirate set sail for the Arotic Ocean. Soon after the crew of the Abigail went on board the Shenandoah, 1. S. Manning, who had been her second officer, John A. Dowdcn, boatstccrer, and thirteen men, mostly Sandwich Islauders, joined the piiates, and are probably still with them. Manning, it may be well to state, was last year third officer of the ship Hill man, from this port. He has a wife living in New York city, lie joined the Shenandoah as pilot, and not only steered (be pilot towards our whaling fleet, but gave the rebel commander the first information as to where it lay. The Shenandoah arrived off Cape Thaddeus, at the entrance'to tbe Arctic Ocean, on the 20th of June. Here she encountered the Euphrates, Capt. Hatha way, with two whales, which was burned on the 21st of June. The nexf dajAshe fell in with and burned the ship William Thompson, Capt. Tucker, ami tho Jireh Swift, Capt. Williams, having four whales c-.ch. Three of the crew of tbe William Thompson, all Englishmen, forthwith joined the pirate. A day or two after, she captured the Milo, Capt. Huwes, with two whales. The captives had by this time become so numerous that Capt. Waddell, the commander of the rebel cruiser, concluded to bond the Alilo instead of burning her, which he accordingly did,in the sum of $46,000, and, putting all his prisoners, who had not deserted their flag, on board of her, gave her a clearance for San Francisco. Just before the Milo set sail for this port, (June 28) the Shenandoah had captured the Susan Abigail, Capt. Redfield, of San Francisco—a trading brig— nnd was lying alongside of her taking in booty when the Milo left. The Milo has been 27 days on her passage to this port, and brings Captains Tucker. Williams, Smith and Hathaway, and about 180 officers and men of the captured Teasels. A Large Fleet of Whalers Near By. Near to where the Shenandoah was last seen was a large fleet of whalers, comprising about sixty Teasels, mostly ice-bound, and it is the opinion of the officers who arrived by the Milo that they have all ere this fallen a prey to the pirate. The evening before the Milo left, Capt. Nye, one of the captains who bad been put on board of her to be sent to this port, left her in a boat, under cover of a dense fog, with the design of going to tbe fleet of whalers and giving them warning. Whether he reached the fleet or not is unknown, but even if he did, it is thought to be very doubtful whether the vessels would be enabled to escape from the pirate. It is believed that the commander of tho Shenandoah dc- �THE I I. iL N signed to fit out one or two of the captured vessels ss privateers, with whioh to destroy tho vessels above tpoken of, and also all other American ships that may be found in these waters. He did not wish to rick the Shenandoah by running ber into the fields iuduoe of ice. Capt. Waddell was very anxious to the men be captured to enlist under his flag, probanew bly for the purpose of getting crews to man tbe few pirstes that he designed fitting out. Vory Americans, however, were persuaded to join bim. How the Shenandoah is Manned and Equipped. From one of the captains, who was 27 days a prisoner on board the pirate, wo learn the following particulars about the rebel craft: She has six guns—two rifled guns at tho bow, two heavy guns amidships and two small guns aft. Sho is a fullrigged ship, with iron frame, iron masts, and iron She is lower yards. Her length is about 260 feet. slight built, and could be easily destroyed by the poorest of Uncle Sam's naval vessels, provided she lew could be got in range, but she is very fast, and vessels in our navy or any other would be able to catch her in a fair chase. Her crew consists of about 160 men, mostly English and Irish. She has a large amount of shot, shell, &c, sufficient to fit out two or three more cruisers like herself. Tbe following is a list of her officers Captain, James I. Waddell, formerly lieutenant in the U. S. Navy ; First Lieutenant Whipple, also formerly of the U. S. Navy; Second Lieutenant, Schells; Third Lieutenant, Lee a nephew of Gen. Robert E. Lee; Fourth : Lieutenant, Scales; Fifth Lieutenant, Miner, for- merly secoud officer of the bark Alice, of Cold .Spring, Long Island. This Miner acted as pilot of the Shenandoah in the Ochotsk Sea. Where She Uetn Her Coal. During bis stay on board the Shenandoah, Mr. labor, the mate of the Abigail, became quite intimate with several of the officers and men, and, in conversation, he learned that tbe Shenandoah was to be kept supplied with coal by the English at Melbourne. As confirmatory of this information, it is a noteworihy fact that, on the 18th of June, the schooner Willttm Gifford spoke a large merchantman which refused to answer the hail, and it is believed that this was the coal supply ship on her way to the pirate from Melbourne. iipt. Waddell Thought of the WksVl « Rebellion. On the arrival of the Shenandoah at Cape Thaddeaa, where she captured tho Euphrates and other vessels meutioncd above, Capt Waddell was infoimed of the fact that Lee had surrendered, Richmond was taken, and President Lincoln had been assassinated. Ho replied that he was prepared to hear of the assassination of Okl Abe, for be had expected it, hut decliued to put credence in the statement of the suricoder of Lee and the capture of Richmond. On being assured that such was the fact, he Btill pretended to disbelieve it, and proceeded to destroy the vessels as though the Confederacy" was still a power in the canh, and he was one of its gallant" navil heroes. Treatment of the Captives. The offioerß and crews of the vessels captured by the pirate were generally well treated while on board the Shenandoah, that is to say, they were not put la irons, or otherwise ill-used, hut all their money was laken from ibem; aud, although tbey were told that lliey could keep their olothiug and private property, jet when they took an inventory of the same they fouDd that it had all been overhauled by the pirates sod everything of value stolen. We subjoin the following statements, which will jrivc such further details of interest to the publio as mull he gathered from the officers who arrived by the Milo : Statement of dipt. Ilawes. On the 22d of June, while off Cape Thaddeus, observed a large ship, which we at first took for a whaleship, but, on coming up with her, discovered her to be a stcamev. Upon coming withing speaking distance, her character was apparent, and it was then plain to all that she was a Confederate pirate. The captain of the pirate came on the quarter deck of his ship, and called out iv a sharp, peremptory " manner: " " Ship ahoy ! come aboard and bring your papers." Captain Hawes—" What ship is that.'" Answer—" Never mind. Come aboard aod bring ycur papers, and bear a hand about it, too." l». SEPTEMBER, Upon that, Capt. Hawes went on board the Shenandoah, and was received at the after gangway by a lieutenant, who ushered him into the csbin and in IS6 5. 67 a sort of grayish blue, and very similar to those of our own navy.

Four years ago the world was astonished the uprising of a great people, and the mustering of immense armies. The wiseacres, however, predicted that trouble would come when the war closed and the immense armies were disbanded. How happily have such predictions all failed! Including the rebel armies, not less than 500,000 have been or will be disbanded. The New York Herald thus speaks of the dissolving of the Union armies : Over 120,000 soldiers have been disband- at ed within three weeks, and 80,000 have, since the Ist of June, passed over the railroads from Washington. But a short time ago, the thought of this disbandment, and of the return of these soldiers to their Northern homes, filled many persons with alarm. It was feared that these men, used to the rough life of camp, habituated to the use of deadly weapons and to scenes of blood, would be a wild and reckless element in our society ; that our streets would teem with scenes of violence, and that murders and robberies would become frightfully frequent. These were fears justified to some extent by the experience of other countries, that had suddenly disbanded large armies. But our experience has been very different from that ot any other country in this respect, and all these fears have proved entirely groundless. It would not be possible to bring into our cities any equally large number of men with so few scenes of violence or so little disturbance of public order as has been occasioned by these soldiers. We see the soldiers everywhere. They march up our streets and stack arms, and indulge in a thousand antics of delight. They scatter out in all directions and buy. They are honest, hardy fellows, ragged enough, and happy " as troutiets in a pool." They are bronzed with the suns of fifty Austerlitzes. They have rporc vim and humor than you can find in all the theatres the winter through, but withal they are the most orderly of men. Here and there one, under the influence of rum, may be a little noisy and pugnacious, but even this is not so frequent as one might naturally expect it; and its rarity culls attention only the more strongly to the vast number of returned soldiers that do not outrage public propriety even in that way. The vast majority of these returned soldiers are intent only on going home, seeing home, seeing their families and friends, and finding once more the places in society that they left to serve their country. Personal.— Letters have been received from the Rev. L. Smith and family. They were visiting among friends in New England, and were expecting to be at Williams College, to attend Commencement exercises, about the Ist of August. Mr. Smith is a graduate of that College.

[Communicated.J honor and gratitude of our countrymen. If, the praise due our marine, both domestic and foreign, it is not our intention to reduce them into retirement under the foliage of well-earned laurels ; on the contrary, we wish to encourage them, by a full appreciation of their past services, to renewed exertions on this subject. We are persuaded that there are few cuptains, regularly visiting our ports, who could not earn an ever-green memory by the importation of some useful plant or animal from other countries. No one could do this so well, as they have facilities for transport and the care of such objects which cannot be commanded by mere passengers. For instance, deer, the whole host of insectiverous birds, the edible frog, swans, besides other animals of which I hey may become acquainted, to say nothing of seeds and plants. Both China and California are uncommonly rich in things of this kind, and, as our mariners have not been behindhand on former occasions, they will not, we feel sure, be behindhand in continuing that frood reputation which their former good deeds have so richly merited. Now, here is a chance for distinction, really worth more than cuff-bands or epaulettes to our marine officers, both of national and merchant services, and if they miss immortality it is not our fault. Introduce but one new and useful plant or animal into these Islands and the thing is done. The fountain of perpetual youth was a mere fable, that never immortalized any one; but our receipt is a good one, and we earnestly hope that it will induce many among our mariner friends to lay hold of the matter, that our future history may hand down a long list of benefactors that nourished in the early days of Kamehameha V, all of whom were worthy of following in the footsteps of Outre Pali. Cook and Vancouver. The Sandwich Islands Indebted to Mariners. however, we award We know of no class of men to whom the world is more indebted for its material prosperity than that body rendered illustrious by I the names of Vancouver, Cabot, Kane, Koss, Franklin, and a host of others. Especially is this true of these Islands. Captain Cook $ was our Columbus, and his name is identified with our history, while that of Vancouver, " the good," will last as long as that of Kamehameha the First, the. earliest hero name of our written history. Obliged by our position to be u maritime people, it is fitting that we should be under obligations to great sea-captains, and that we should appreciate the blessings they have conferred upon us. Perhaps a short review of the past may enable us to do so justly. According to native traditions, swine were first introduced here from a foreign ship, the officers of which "wore uniforms, cocked hats and swords." In 1778, Captain Cook introduced, for the first time, sheep and swine of British breed, besides the melon, pumpkin and onion. Shortly after, Captain Colnet introduced sheep upon the Island of Kauai. To Captain Vancouver we are indebted for goats, sheep, cattle, the orangetree, geese, nnd a variety of other precious objects. To Captain J. Manghan belongs, we believe, the honor of having first introduced the Irish potato. To Capt. Cleveland, an American, commander of the Lelia Byrd, belongs the honor of having introduced horses, in 1802 or 1803. They were sent as a present to the " famous King Kamehameha," by the " good old Padre of San Borgia, Mariano Apolonario," of California. Nor have we by any means exhausted the list of those noble-hearted mariners who have been at great pains and expense to enrich these Islands by valuable acquisitions of useful animals and plants; but we have said enough to prove that the former race of sea-captains were not a whit behind those of our own times in public spirit and an unselfish desire of benefiting others. As for the miserable accusation that they also introduced diseases, not the worst of which was the small-pox, they might as well be accused of being wingless ! Writers about the Islands are almost sure to tell us of such ■' merderies" (pardon an energetic word of Rabelais) as the place where and the time when mosquitoes and fleas were introduced,* but when it comes to be a matter of real information, lo! they are off on the interminable theme of their own contemptible exploits, nicely seasoned with reflections upon their betters, who, by the introduction of foreign plants and animals, have won the lasting * " Sandwich Islands. Hv a Hants" " "Vrsivi." 07 H Msl- Change in the Tone of English Newspapers. It is quite amusing to read the recent English newspapers, nnd comthem with the tone of their remarks pare during the early period of the great American civil war. Some of these papers have only "hauled" a point or so, to use a nautical term, while others have " wore ship," and come quite around on the Federal side. The London Patriot says, " We have blundered in our estimate of Lincoln's character, and we cannot afford to make an equal blunder in regard to Johnson." The London Spectator says,"The English ruling class have made one great blunder about the power and temper of the United States;" while the Times, " with tome preliminary vibrations, is coming slowly round." But no one has so gracefully dropped into the Union ranks as Punch.

SUndsrd. Andrew Johnson and Jefferson Davis. In December, of 1860, while the traitors in Congress were deliberately preparing to destroy the Republic, and when they had finally resolved to steal the forts, and navyyards, and arsenals, to carry off the public treasure, to violate oaths—in a word, to use all the materials and means of the Government which had sheltered and protected them, to consummate its overthrow—there was only one Southern man bold and brave enough to defy them ; only one to exnose their treason ; only one to admonish them of their guilt, and to declare his sacred limits of the Union. That man was Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. He began his conflict with the traitors on the 18th of December, 1860, and continued it until the session in March, 1861. We have more than once in these columns referred to that memorable period. He was, beyond all question, the most conspicuous character in it, as well because of his courage and ability as on account of the solitary and splendid position he maintained, towering high above the crowd of traitors. Thousands will remember those days, but none can forget the hauteur, the insolence, the indignation, and the attempts to brow-beat Governor Johnson on the part of the conspirators, as they were forced to submit to his continued und fearless chastisement. When it was first intimated that he intended to take issue with them, they resorted to cajolery, promises, and at last to the most humiliating entreaties. He was threatened in secret at the start, but finally, when, in utter defiance and contempt alike of their bribes and their intimidations, he spoke out, the whole pack was let loose upon him. Davis, Benjamin, Toombs, Mason, Wigfall, Slidell, and poor Joe Lane, having trained themselves for the struggle, determined to bully and brain the daring man who had audaciously spoken of them in that high presence, and in the hearing of the men and women they had summoned to what they had resolved to be, and what really was, fhe first scene of the rebellion. But in vain. Proudly through all he bore himself, and heawl their taunts, their jibes, their aiiuse, with calm and even unruffled temper, as one conscious of fhe rectitude of his course, and reckless of all consequences personal to himself. Where are these same braggarts now ? Davis is a prisoner at Fortress Monroe; Toombs an outlaw by proclamation of the President ; Mason and Slidell a pair of gentleman vagabonds in Paris, looking vainly to see the shores which fhey left in the hope of returning despotically to rule. All—whether those caught or running, whether those confined in prisons or waiting to fly to foreign lands, or living away from their own homes—all these tyrannical traitors, all, all of them are now at the mercy of that single Senator, who, in 1861, denounced their treason and predicted their overthrow. At the present moment, when the whole civilized world is watching the new phase of the close of the rebellion presented in the capture of Jefferson Davis, and he himself is enclosed in the strong walls of FortresMonroe, the words addressed to him by An, drew Johnson, on the 6th of February, 1861, �70 THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER,. 1865. in the United States Senate, may be appro- priately and profitably reproduced. They are as follows: "I was speaking of the proposition to raise fifteen regiments in my own State, which has been brought forward. Sir, as far back as the battle of King's Mountain, and in every war in which the Tights of the people have been invaded, Tennessee—God bless her—has stood by that glorious flag, which was carried by Washington and followed by the gallant patriots and soldiers of the revolution, even as the blood trickled from their feet as they passed over the ice and snow ; and under tbat flag, not only at home, but abroad, her sons have acquired honor and distinction, in connection with citizens of other States of the Union. She is not prepared to band with outlaws, and make war upon that flag under which she won her laurels. Whom are we going to fight ? Who « invading Tennessee ? Conventions are got up; a reign of terror is inaugurated ; and if, by the influence of a subsidized and mendacious press, an ordinance taking the State out of the Confederacy can be extorted, those who make such propositions expect to have an army ready, to have their bands equipped, to have their praetorian divisions ; then they will tell the people that they must carry the ordinance into effect, and join a Southern Confederacy whether they will or not; they shall be lashed on to the car of South Carolina, who entertains no respect for them, but threatens their institution of slavery unless they comply with her terms. Will Tennessee take such a position as that? I cannot believe it; I never will believe it; and if an ordinance of Secession should be passed by that State under those circumstances, and an attempt made to force the people out of the Union, as has been done in some other States, J tell the Senate and the American people that there are many in Tennessee whose dead bodies will have to be trampled over before it can be consummated. [Applause in the galleries.] The Senator from Mississippi [Jefferson Davis] referred to the flag of his country; and I will read what he said, so that I may not be accused of misrepresenting him: ' It may be pardoned to me, sir, who, in my" boyhood was given to the military service, and who have followed that flag under tropical suns and over Northern snows, if 1 here express the deep sorrow which always overwhelms me when I think of turning from the flag I have followed so long, for which I have suffered in ways it does not become me to speak of, feeling that henceforth it is not to be the banner I will hail with the rising sun and greet as the sun goes down; the banner which, by day and night, I am ready to follow. But God, who knows the hearts of men, will judge between you and us, at whose door lies the responsibility of this.' " There is no one in the United States who is more willing to do justice to the distinguished Senator from Mississippi than myself, and when I consider his early education, when I look at his gallant services, finding him first in the Military School of the United States, educated by his Government, taught the science of war at the expense of his country. tsilrrhf in \nvt> thr Constitution, afterwards entering its service, fighting beneath the stars and stripes to which he has so handsomely alluded, winning laurels that are green nnd imperishable, and bearing upon his person scars that are honorable, some of which have been won at home, others of which have been won in a foreign clime and upon other fields, I would be the last man to pluck a feather from his cap or a single gem from the chaplet that encircles his illustrious brow. But when I consider his early associations, when 1 remember that he was nurtured by this Government, that he fought for this Government, that he won Iwiwrs under the flag of this Government, I cannot understand flow he can be willing to /tail another banner, and desert the one of his country, under which he has won laurels and received honors. This is a matter of taste, however ; but it seems to me that, if I could not unshcath my sword in vindication of the flag of my country, its glorious stars and stripes, I would return the sword to its scabbard ; I would never sheath it in the bosom of my mother ; never ! never! Sir, my own feelings in reference to that flag arc such as must have filled the heart of that noble son of South Carolina, Joel R. Poinsett, when, nearly thirty years ago, in an address to the people of Charleston, lie ators who have attacked me, in vindication of myself. I have been attacked on all hands, by some five or six, and may be attacked ajrain. All that I ask is that, in making these attacks, they meet my positions, answer my arguments, refute my facts. I care not for the number that may have attacked me, I care not how many may come hereafter. Feeling that I am right—that argument, that fact, that truth are on my side—l place them all nt defiance. Come one, come all; for I feel, in the words of the great dmmntic poet, " ' . Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel jusl Andhe but nuked, though lucked up in steel. Whose, conscience with seccs-lon ii corrupted.* " I have been told, and I have heard it repeated, that this Union is gone. It has been said in this Chamber that it is in the cold sweat of death ; that, in fact, it is really dead, and merely lying in state waiting for the funeral obsequies to be performed. If this be so, and the war that has been made upon me in consequence of advocating the Constitution and the Union is to result in my overthrow and in my destruction, and that flag, that glorious flag, the emblem of the Union, which was borne by Washington through a seven years' struggle, shall be struck from (he Capitol and trailed in the dust, when this Union is interred I want no declared : more honorable winding-sheet than that have been, I have been brave old flag, and no more glorious grave "' Wherever aI citizen of this Republic, than to be interred in the tomb of the proud of being and to the remotest corners of the earth Union.

Arrival of Chinese Immigrants.—During the past week there has been an arrival of Chinese immigrants, being the first com- pany forwarded by Dr. Hillebrand, who has been commissioned by the Government to procure laborers from China or India. As they were landing, we visited the wharf, and learned that the company consists of 199 men, 43 women and 8 children—total, 250. They were accompanied by an interpreter. Each immigrant held a copy in Chinese of the articles of his indenture, and the Government agent possessed a copy in English. In substance, the document reads thus: The immigrant agrees to work in the Hawaiian Islands for five years, on the following conditions: Free passage from China to Honolulu ; four dollars each calendar month, as wages; to be well supplied with comfortable lodging, food, clothing, and gratuitous medical services, and the immigrant allowed Sundays and three Chinese holidays. At the expiration of the term of service, the immigrant to return or not, as he sees fit. A majority will undoubtedly remain at the Islands after their period of labor closes. Chinese fraternize with the natives. Most sincerely do we hope both planters and laborers may be benefited by the arrangement. According to Hawaiian laws, the newly arrived immigrant laborer will have full access to the Courts if his employer treats him with cruelty. If at any 1865. time those employing these men treat them unkindly or unjustly, we hope the Government authorities will interfere, for through the representation of a Government agent have they been induced to come hither. Our own impression is that we shall soon see many thousands of Chinese laborers in these Islands. Young Chile.—From letters just received from the Rev. D. Trumbull, Pastor of the Foreign Church of Valparaiso, we learn that there is a growing and powerful party among the Chilenos who are exceeding restive under the regime of the Priests. There is a loud call for the Bible in Spanish. Mr. Trumbull has resided nearly twenty years at Valparaiso, and acquired a full knowledge of the people and language. He often publishes articles in the newspapers of the country, in which he challenges the Priests to meet him in fair and open discussion. In the true Lutheran style, he offers to prove that the Priests " teach not the people truly;" "not according to Scripture ;" " not according to the Apostles ;" not according " the Ancient Fathers." No wonder his opponents fear an open Bible, and threaten He replies, " Commence." to prosecute. Chilenos he is honored with the Among the Protestant Bishop," yet a quiet title of " Congregational minister of the gospel from Connecticut. There is a strong and growing party among the intelligent Chilenos, who are affording him much encouragement to prosecute his Evangelical labors and distribute the Bible. Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society.— The next meeting of this Society will be held at M. dc Varigny's residence, in Nuuanu Valley, on Tuesday, Oct. 2. We are glad to notice in many papers the announcement of Queen Emma's arrival in England, in good health. to }iOluStrits. M.n. 73 Singing in Common Schools.—The Hawaiian Board of Education, we learn, has tabued singing during school-hours in the common schools—in our opinion a most stupid and unphilosophical prohibition, utterly opposed to the opinions of the best educators of Europe and America. We invite the members of the Board to visit our sanctum and spend the morning hours for the purpose of overhearing the native children in the Catholic school and the Protestant children in Mr. Beckwith's, (both private schools,) sing their pleasant, cheerful and grateful morning hymns and songs. If the members of the Board are not ashamed of the rule which they have adopted, then, with Shakspeare, we will say, those who have no music in their souls are fit for"—we will not say what; (ah, we forget—Boards and Corporations have no souls,) or that another English poet must have been wrong when he wrote, " •• Music hath charms to sooth the saTage breast." Side Item.—We congratulate our associate, the Rev. Mr. Corwin, on having been presented by his parishioners with a new family carriage. However liberally and punctually a people may pay the regular salary of their Pastor, an occasional addendum will not operate unfavorably. The constant draft upon a minister's energies is very great, and when his people show that they appreciate his labors, it acts as a soothing and healthful restorative, keeping him young and vigorous. Sunny " The Courtship of Miles Standish."— In our April number we published Tennyson's poem of " Enoch Arden." Many of our readers were so much pleased with its publication, that we have been requested to insert occasionally other popular poems. We commence " The Courtship of Miles Standish." It is one of Longfellow's best. We have no doubt its reading will beguile Sailors will find pen, ink and paper, many a weary hour of the sailor's life, while gliding over the broad Pacific. gratis, at the reading-room of the Home. ■ �I II I. 74 IKIfc.ND, OITIIIIKII.

Still John Alden went on, unheeding the words of Prlsciila, Urging the suit of bis friend, explaining, persuading, expanding; Spoke of his courage and skill, and of all his battles in Flanders, How with tbe people of flod he had chosen to suffer affliction, How, in return for his zeal, they had made him Captain Of Plymouth; lie was a gentleman horn, could trace his pedigree plainly Back to Hugh Standish of Duxbury Hall, In Lancashire, England, Who was the son of Ralph, aud the grandson of Thurston dc Standish; Heir unto vast estates, of which he was basely defrauded, Still bore the family arms, and had for his crest a cock argent, Corned and wattled gules, and all the rest of the blason.

To be concluded next month. Florence Nightingale —In England scarcely less beloved and revered than the Queen herself—was in full sympathy with the North in the late straggle with slavery and secession. Above all did she watch, with the deepest interest, the efforts of American women—efforts inspired by her own noble example—to relieve the wants and sufferings of the soldiers. When she heard of the assassination of President Lincoln, she immediately addressed a letter to Dr. Benjamin Howard, an American gentleman in London, expressing the deepest " Mute with amasement find sorrow, Priscilla the Puritan maiden sympathy of grief and horror" with which Looked Into Alden's face,her eyes dilated with wonder she contemplated the catastrophe, and stat.

There is a repetition in this volume of the same old stale vituperations against Missionaries which hnve been served up in various styles during the last forty years, at one time by writers in the old Sandwich Islands Gazette, at another by the journalist of some exploring expedition, nt another by some British reviewer, nt another by a Simpson, or a Hopkins, or a Staley, or a Haole, or any of that class of writers who consider that they have a special call to operate as oceu- generally. We are bold to say no such appropriation of Missionary funds was ever made. Hawaiians connected with churches under American Missionaries build their own church edifices. It has always been so. Now, if the Protestant Christians of Hamakua see fit to build " thirteen churches," with their own money, and surmount them with belfries, and in those belfries hang bells, we do not know what reason Dr. Bnxley or any other person in America has to chanced to meet in tlie street.

According to a late census of the Samoan Islands, the inhabitants are increasing. Mr. Turner writes as follows : " You will be glad to learn that our latest statistics show an increase in our Samoan population of about one thousand in ten years. During the last twenty years we have repeatedly ascertained the exact namber, counting head by head, of the people, and this is the conclusive result at which 1 have just arrived.

This is " Quite too many of our books possess no more life than a dried mummy from Egypt, or a skeleton from some medical college. We need not, of course, inform our Island readers that this work is written by the daughter of Dr. Anderson, who accompanied her father during his trip over the Islands in 1863. We have heard this book frequently called for, and sincerely regret a supply is not for sale at the book-store. It is a capital book to circulate among the young, and contains vastly more correct and useful information than many books of greater pretensions. One intelligent lady seeking information about the Islands, has been heard to say, " This is just the book to inform one about the Islands, and tell us what we desire to learn." We are not sure but the best of all descriptive tourists would be a well-educated young lady, wielding a nimble pen and blessed with a talent for observation. We hope future writers upon the Islands will follow Miss Anderson's example, and describe the lighter as well as the darker scenes of Island life. P. S. Since writing the above, we have met with a copy of the Hours at Home," " The Sailors' Home having been published in New York, containing a graphic thoroughly refitted and refurnished, is now sketch of Honolulu, by Miss Anderson. It is truthful and well written. open for boarders and lodges It is published in London, and contains a vast amount of valuable information. It is very complete upon American current literature. We have received copies of the Chicago Tribune, a large and handsomely printed daily, and we learn that Mr. Brewster, formerly a school-teacher in Honolulu, has become associated with its editorial corps. After leaving Honolulu, Mr. and Mrs. Brewster made the tour of Europe. May Mr. Brewster's career as an editor prove as successful as that of a teacher. Not a few regretted that they did not return and resume their vocation as teachers in Honolulu. "Hours at Home."—We have chanced pick up, in Whitney's Book Store, thret numbers of this new periodical, published in New York. No. 1 was good, No. 2 better, and No. 3 best. It is a monthly, which we can most cordially recommend for family reading. The articles are original, and written by some of the most popular writers in the United States. In one number we met with a communication from Dr. Anderson upon Kamehameha 111. The magazine admirably combines literary taste, entertaining reading, useful information and religious instruction. Rushing into Print.—We have oftenheard of Hawaiian poets paying to have theii effusions appear in the native papers, but to L 1 UI • the following case is somewhat remarkable. laboring a native poet, We recently heard of for three dollars per week, and wishing his money in advance, that he might get his poetry inserted in the Kuokoa, and for which he paid eighty-eight cents. Just think of a poet not only not receiving anything for the labor of his brain, but paying for its insertion ! We learn that contributions in money for this purpose make up quite a little sum to both of the native papers. If it was not for this pecuniary check upon Hawaiian genius, the poets would fill both papers. Let no one after this say Hawaiians are deficient in a genius for writing poetry. We have heard, too, of some who will write for one paper, and come out abusing themselves in the other paper the following week ! We would acknowledge a card notifying the public that our old friend, Mr. J.

Now that the rebellion has been put circumstar-es making every right-minded down, it is moat gratifying that the sailor can I r exhibit a fair record during the war. The following relates to some sailor-prisoners found in Camp Ford, in Texas : " The oldest prisoners in the Confederacy are in this camp. Their imprisonment is now measured by years. On the 21st of January, 1863, the officers and crew of the Morning Light were captured ofT Sabine, and they still remain prisoners of war. A fatality seems to have attended all the naval prisoners who have found their way to a Texnn prison camp. Those of the Clifton and Suchem, captured at Sabine Pass, September 8, 1863, also share the tame fate. Exchange after exchange of army prisoners tukes place, but the boon never reaches these sailors. Soldiers have been taken from the same camp and sent back to our lines who have not been held as prisoners a month. Yet the gallant tars have shown a devotion to their flag unsurpassed, perhaps unequaled during the war. With the feeling that they have suffered gross injustice, with a sense of neglect by their own Government, they have never deseited. There have been desertions to the enemy from this camp, but they have not been by sailors. An Englishman's Opinion of Negro Suffrage. The eminent English writer upon political topics, John Stuart Mill, writes as follows to a friend in the United States: " 1 have always been afraid of one thing only—that you would be too gentle. I should be sorry to see any life taken after the war was over, (except those of the assassins,) or any evil inflicted in mere vengeance ; but one thing I hope will be considered absolutely necessary: to break altogether the power of the slaveholding class. Unless this is done, the abolition of slavery will be merely nominal. If an aristocracy of exslaveholders remain masters of the State Legislatures, they will be able effectually to nullify a great part of the result which has been so dearly bought by the blood of the Free States. They and their dependants must be effectually outnumbered at the polling places, which can only be effected by the concession offull equality of a'l political rights to negroes, and by a large immigration of settlers from the North." This is encouragement from an unexpected quarter. Surely, when Englishmen advocate negro suffruge, or universal suffrage, Americans should not hesitate. This is the most prominent question now discussed in all the newspapers of the United States. Only one consistent course seems now to open, and that is to sweep from the statutebook of the National and State Governments all class-laws, or an entire abolition of all rights and privileges conceded to the white population that is not conceded to the colored people. Let both hereafter stand equal before the civil courts and at the ballotbox. Surely the loyal negroes are entitled to equal rights with the " poor white trash," only half loyal, we hear and read so much about. �IHE .HUNK | ADVERTIBBIVIENTS. APVBRTISEIVIBiyrTS. 11. W.

It will bo remembered that he was a member of the junior class at Andover, in 1861,and volunteered as a soldier, but waa very soon promoted to the rank of Chaplain. He served during the "nine months" under General Foster in North Carolina. On leaving the Army, he came out to lhe Islands, and returned to California, where he has since been preaching : Rev. W. F. Snow preached on Sunday, the" 20th, his farewell sermons to the Congregational Church at Grass Valley, of which he has been acting pastor for tlie past fifteen months. At the close of the Sabbath School exercises, the teachers nnd pupils presented to Mr. and Mrs. Snow a pair of silver goblets, as a parting token of affection. Mr. Snow has been Superintendent of the School during his ministry to the Church. He will leave for the East on the steamer of September 2d, and intends to complete his course of theological study in Andover Theological Seminary. We regret to lose so excellent a laborer from our needy work in this State." " Birds, Birds, the Little Birds."— We rejoice to learn that Dr. Hillebrand has sent from China some birds to be let go upon the Islands. Already seven Java sparrows, seventeen avodevats, and five of an unknown species, have been let loose near Mr. Montgomery's garden. Most sincerely do we hope no mischievous boys or naughty men will molest the little strangers. Welcome, welcome, we say to the new-comers, and long may they and their descendents dwell upon the Islands. In referring to a telegram of General Beauregard, which recently turned up. and in which Jeff Davis was reminded to hurry up the order for the hanging of all the Abolition prisoners, the Times remarked that it was difficult to believe that Beauregard could pen such a diabolical dispatch ; whereupon Col. Julius Allen relates the following circumstance : While in command at Savannah, Beauregard, at the close of a venomous speech against the Yankees, spoke is follows : " When I reach Massachusetts, my first act shall be to blow Plymouth Rock out of existence. That will be the greatest and happiest moment of my life." The Sovereigns of Europe and Their Religion.—There are in Europe 43 reigning Sovereigns, not including those who possess titles only. Of those 43, 9 belong to the Roman Catholic religion, but one of that number is excommunicated; 31 are Protestants, 1 is of the orthodox Greek Church, 1 a Mahonmedan, and the 43d is the Pope. The excommunicated Sovereign is King Victor Emmanuel. There are besides, in Europe, 7 Republics : 2 exclusively Catholic—San Marino and Andorre—and 6 where the majority of the inhabitants are Ptotestanti—Switzerland, Hamburg. Bre. n»w, Frankfort and Lubeck. . , (IIHIBKI!, I S 0 •") We see it reported in American papers that Mr. A. B. Lyons, of Waiinea, Hawaii, has taken the highest honors in the graduating class at Williams College, Massachusetts. Also, that J. E. Emerson, N. B. Emerson and T. L. Gulick, belonging to the Islands, have taken high honors in the same class. It is very gratifying to sec our Hawaiian-American young men so successfully competing with the young men of America. 0* The first honor of Oxford University, England, this year, was gained by a young American, Francis Allsion Charming, a son of Rev. Henry Charming, who took the " Chancellor's Prize" for the best English MARINE JOURNAL PORT OF HONOLULU, S. I. ARRIVALS.

Sulks nflect the liver, and are still worse for the heart and the soul. Wrath driven in is as dangerous to the moral health as suppressed small-pox to the animal system. Dissipate it by reflecting on the mildness, humility and serenity of better men than yourself, suffering under greater wrongs than you have ever been called upon to bear. I>Ki'AKTIRfcS.
