APRIL 1, 1862. Good News from America. The news from the United States is of the most thrilling interest. Every arrival from San Francisco, brings the intelligence of one or more Federal victories. After the battle of Bull Run on the 23d of July, the Government and people of the United States, fully realized that the rebellion was a foe requiring a strong arm to put it down. They addressed themselves to the work. It took about six months to arm and equip an army of six hundred thousand and blockade a roast of two thousand miles. During this season of preparation the South was crying, " come on," " one southern soldier is equal to five northerners," " the black flag is our banner," " we ask no quarter, neither give any." The Northern leaders kept quietly at the work of preparation, waiting for the right moment to strike. The time has come for the strike to be made, and already Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee have been nearly cleared of Secession troops. The latest intelligence is, that Manassas has fallen, and the Northern armies flushed with victory ars upon theirtriumphant march southward. We hope the day is near at hand, when the rebellious traitors will be put to flight and the Union lovers, scattered throughout the rebel States, will be allowed to speak out their patriotic sentiments. The plague spot of slavery, we are glad to learn, is already disappearing Its doom is sealed. /rom that favored land. «*»z. Washington's Farewell Address. CONTENTS Far April. 1802.

From late newspapers, we learn that the President's recommendation was generally compLied with on that day. It was also read by Chaplains in the army and navy of the United States. The friends and lovers of their country, do not wish for a reconstruction or remodeling of the great political edifice, but they do desire to maintnm the old Union,and for the attainment of this desirable end they are pouring out their treasure and their blood. The question is sometimes asked, for what are the Americans fighting ? We answer, for their country, for the union of the States, for constitutional liberty. We hope the warfare will not cease until over that broad land the flag of our country shall again wave in triumph. When that time arrives, it is our honest belief that there will be a strong, prosperous and peaceful nation. Death of the Commissioner and Consul France.—The funeral of M. Emile Perrin will be attended this day. This distinguished Representative of the Empire of France, died on the 29th uk., in consequence of an injnry received by a fall from his horse, which terminated fatally in the disease of the lock jaw. The deceased experienced great suffering during the short period of his sickness. He has officiated as the Representative of France, since 1862, and had made his arrangements to return to France during the current year. He was fifty-two years of age. His office will be filled, for the present, by his able Secretary, Chancellor M. Varigny, who has oiled that station during the last seven years. of Friends and Fellow-citizen*: The period for a new election of a citizen to administer the Executive Government of the United States being not far distant, and the time actually arrived when your thoughts must be employed in designating the person who is to be clothed with that important trust, it appears to me proper, especially as it may conduce to a more distinct expression of the public voice, that I should now apprise you of the resolution I have firmed, to decline being considered among the number of those out of whom a choice is to be made. I beg you, at the same time, to do me the justice to be assured that this resolution bus not been taken without a strict regard to all the considerations appertaining to the relation which binds a dutiful citizen to his country ; and that, in withdrawing the tender of service, which silence, in my situation, might imply, I am influenced by no diminution of zeal for your future interest; no deficiency of grateful respect for your past kindness; but am supported by a full conviction that the step is compatible with both. The acceptance of, and continuance hitherto in, the office to which your suffrages have twice called me, have been a uniform sacrifice of inclination to the opinion of duty, and to a deference for what appeared to be your desire. I constantly hoped that it would have been much earlier in my power, consistently with motives which I was not at liberty to disregard, to return to that meat from which I had been reluctantly drawn. The strength of my inclination to do this, previous to the last election, had even led to the preparation of an address to declare it to you; but mature reflection on the then perplexed and critical posture of oar affairs with foreign nations, and the unanimous advice of persons entitled to my confidence, impelled me to abandon the idem.

Turning partly into its own channels felicity as a people.

The East in like intercourse with the West, already finds, and in the progressive improvement of interior communication, by land and water, will more and more find, a valuable vent for the commodities which it brings from abroad, or manufactures at home. The West derives from the East supplies requisite to its growth and comfort; and what is perhap; of still greater consequence, it must, of necessity, owe the secure enjoyment of indispensable outlets for its productions, to the weight, influence, and the future maritime strength of the Atlantic side of the Union, directed by an indissoluble community of interest as one nation. Any other tenure by which the West can hold this essential advantage, whether derived from its own separate strength, or from an apostate and unnatural connexion with any foreign power, must be intrinsically precarious. While, then, every part of our country thus feels an immmediate and particular interest in union, all the parts combined cannot fail to find, in the united mass of means and efforts, greater strength, greater resource, proportionably greater security from externa! danger, a less frequent interruption of their pence by foreign nations; and what is of inestimable value, they must derive from union an exemption from those broils and wars between themselves, which so frequently afflict neighboring countries, not tied together by the same government; which their own rivalships alone would be sufficient to produce, but which opposite foreign alliances, attachments, and intrigues, would stimulate and imbitter. Hence, likewise, they will avoid the necessity of those over-grown military establishments, which under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty; in this sense it is that your union ought to be considered as a main prop of your liberty, and that the love of the one ought to endear to you the preservation of the other. These considerations speak a persuasive language to every reflecting and virtuous mind, and exhibit the continuance of tbe Union as a primary object of patriotic desire. Is there a doubt, whether a common government can embrace so large a sphere? Let experience resolve it. To listen to mere speculation, in such a case, were criminal. We are authorized to hope, that a proper organization of the whole, with the auxiliary agency of governments for the respective subdivisions, will afford a happy issue to the experiment. It is well worth a fair and full experiment. With such powerful and obvious motives to Union, affecting all parts of our country, while experience shall not have demonstrated its impracticability, there will always be reason to distrutt the patriotism of those, who, in any quarter, may endeavor to weaken its bands. In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as a matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—Northern aad Southern—Atlantic and Western : whence �THE FRIEND, APRIL, 1 862. designing men may endeavor to excite a to put in the place of the delegated will of belief that there is a real difference of local the nation, tbe will of a party, often a small interests and views.

They serve to Organize most horrid enormities, is itself a frightnive it an artificial Hnd extraordinary force, I the 27 ful despotism. But this leads, at length, to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and, sooner or later, the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation on the ruins of public liberty. Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless, ought not to be entirely out of sight,) the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it. It serves always to distract the public councils, nnd enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with illfounded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another; foments, occasionally, riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the Government itself, through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another. There is an opinion thnt parties, in free countries, are useful checks upon the administration of the Government, and serve to keep alive the spirit of liberty. This, within certain limits, is probably true; and in Governments ofa monarchical cast patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be, by a force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire nottobequenchsd, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume. It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking, in a free country, should inspire caution in those intrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding, in the exercise of the powers of one department, to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of Government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power and proneness to abuse it which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position. The necessity of reciprocal checks in tbe exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositories, and constituting each the guardian of the public weal, against invasions by the others, has been evinced by experiments, ancient and modern ; some of them in our own country, under our own eyes. To preserve them must be as ne£ssary as to institute them. If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of tbe constitutional powers be, in any particular, wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation ; for though this, [For 31.] 30, pp. conclusion, see �28 K THE THE FRIEND, APRIL, 1 862. FKIEND.

Washington's Farewell Address, printed in full, we copy from a volume having the above title. It was printed under the authority of Congress, and contains u vast amount of useful information, relating to the several departments at Washington. We are indebted to Mr. Secretary Seward for this volume. When he was a Senator, he occasionally honored the Friend with documents published under the sanction of Congress. In republishing Washington's Farewell Address, we most earnestly commend it to our American readers, and all others interested in this memorable document. It ii well, just at present, when rebels and traitors are endeavoring to overturn the government of their country, to call the attention of all classes of American citizens to the origin of the great North American Republic. Our patriotic sires lived in times which tried men's souls, but they bequeathed to us a legacy that must not be surrendered to an oligarchy of slaveholders. In a subsequent number, we intend republishing the Constitution of the United States. Americans cannot have their minds too frequently recalled to these state-documents. With Englishmen we can exult in the legacy of the Magna Charta, wrested from King John, on the field of Runymede, and as Americans we can glory in a Constitution for the defence of which twenty millions of freemen are pledged, and an army of six hundred thousand are contending. Corn, Cotton and Kick on Oahu.—During a recent trip around tbe island of Oahu, it was gratifying to observe that the corn crop looks well at Ewa and Waialua. The cotton crop hag thus far failed. Repeated attempts have been made at various localities, but the young plants have been cut off by the worms and insects. The rice crop is promising. From two to three hundred acres are now under cultivation, or in various stages of preparation. At some places tbe ground is being broken up, and at others the young plants are growing. The prospects are encouraging. At Waialua, we saw sixteen horses in one rce patch, exercising their pedal organs in preparing the soil. Let it not be said that old horses cannot be put to labor! [Correepondenoe of the Mend.] Oakland, Cal. March 3d 1862. Mr. Editor :—When I accepted your cordial invitation to write an article for the Friend occasionally, I thought it would be the easiest thing in the world to do. But now that I have actually undertaken the fulfilment of my promise, I must confess that 1 feel somewhat terrified. It is not that I picture you, as sitting in unappronchble majesty upon the editorial tripod, and holding, sternly poised, the scale of literary criticism, but some undefined terror tyrannizes over me. I have just now been looking over some back numbers of the Friend, to see whether my trepidation were merely that which ordinarily accompanies a first effort in any new direction, or whether there was any inherent cause for that distrust. I never can turn over the pages of the Friend, for years gone by, without feeling something somewhat akin to reverence. Its records are so various, so chequered, and so vivid. It is a miniature history of eventful periods, with commentaries. Now the editorial pen exults, in buoyant strains, as some marked indications of progress are recited, some signs which portend that the slow, solemn march of the world's history is rising into a purer system, and about to swell into a jubilant, triumphant psalm. Then, again, the record is sad—some sudden catastrophe—some shipwreck, in which some noble lives were lost, some great affliction, for which stricken households can never be consoled this side the grave. More fearful still, more pathetic, is the brief life-tale recited of those who, wandering recklessly over life's stormy ocean, went farther and farther astray, and perished in the dark, uncharted expanse of vice, far from any shore, leaving neither name nor work to perpetuate their memories. The Friend contains so much life-history, that estimated by its records, rather than its years, it seems old—and so 1 instinctively view it with reverence and awe on the score of age. Do you wonder, then, that I should start at the idea of seeing any of my thoughts go into the Friend t Why, if I were a writer of fiction, I would send for the Friend at once, from Vol. I to Vol. XIX, characters and evolve the philosophy of things. There is a column in the Friend which seems to involve a mystery;—it is that headed " Information Wanted." There it stands, issue after issue, and year after year, a reproachful monument of the strange perversity of the human heart! Inquiring friends and relatives arc searching after wanderers who have failed to report themselves. Love yearns for them, and anxiously questions concerning their fate, whether the grave, or that other death—that heartdeath, forgetfulness, holds them. How astonishing it is that any human heart can growcold and forgetful of home associations and the love of friends! Why do not these wanderers return I Why do they not, at least, write home ? Is there some Circean island in this wide ocean, where these men arc transformed into other natures, and by some strange spell, held in entire forgetfulness of their former selves i Surely there must be some fearful transformation of character, or love so strong as to search for its lost object year after year, over the whole world, would find them out and bring them back ! But this fault is not confined to seafaring men, and those who leadaroving life. Alas, a large part of the human race wanders in just such a manner. God's love follows them, searching them out in all their wanderings and through all their disguises, and urges them to return. Yet, how few return to enjoy the friendship and love of their Maker. There must be some radical and debasing enslavement of the human soul, when it can thus prefer bondage to liberty, the bitterness of sin to the sweetness of piety ! Our stormy winter has proved very disastrous to California—at least so far as present appearances go. Some of our cities have been overflowed several times. Much property has been lost, and much suffering has been endured. But I am not sure that all these things should be considered as losses. For present loss, there will doubtless be a future gain. It is thought these floods may fertilize the soil in many places where it was nearly exhausted, and also make the mines more productive by washing down gold from the mountains. It is certainly to be hoped that character will be fertilized and enriched by these visitations. Sorrow and suffering are not such calamities as we are apt to suppose. They generally bring large equivalents of self-poise and power. The eye moistened by tears is often the very best lens through which to look upon the world. I dare not say a word about the absorbing events of the day. Each hour the telegraph brings us some additional news, and events succeed each other with such rapidity that there is no time to speculate upon them. We may well feel proud of the energy and efficiency which the government is displaying, and we have every reason to hope that this stern civil conflict, with all its terrors and unhappy consequences, with result in a higher, purer aad more intense national Yours, »e«T W"y. life I> to study up 1 �29 THE FRIEND, APRIL, 18*2. Life Prolonged by Care.—The longevity of the human race is steadily increasing in civilized nations, if statistical tables can be trusted, and the following item from The Methodist shows the influence of good keeping; on long life: Few men take better care of themselves than the better class of British noblemen. They aim to make life as perfect as possible, to have as little jarring of the wheels and cogs as may be. They ore, many of them, the hardest workers and the healthiest men in the world ; and it may be truly said that while one part of mankind developes muscle at the expense of brain, and the other developes brain at the expense of muscle, the British nobleman is the only man now living who succeeds in cultivating at once brain and muscle. That their efforts are successful, here is a pretty good proof. Twentyfour members of the British peerage have died within the year 1860,and these twentyfour have exactly completed on the average, the full measure of the allotted span of human life, the three-score years and ten."

Four different translations of the Alhambra exists in German, and three in French. Over one hundred editions of his various works in the original English, many of them accompanied by notes and vocabularies, and designed for use as textbooks in schools, have been published in France, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. Versions of portions of his writings exist in Icelandic, Finnish, Russian, Polish, Bohemian, Hungarian, and Greek, while some of his shorter sketches of Saracenic history have been rendered into Turkish and Vulgar Ambic ' A Loyal American Consul.—Our American men abroad are still loyal to the Stars and Stripes, as may be seen in the following extract from one of our sailor boy's letters: " While lying in port at the Bay of Islands, 1 saw a fight worthy of note, that I forgot to mention in my last. It was between the American Consul and Henri Davis, the Jew merchant at the Bay. It appears that the Jew had the English coat of arms on one of his windows and something resembling the American coat of arms on the other, with a duck instead of an Eagle on it. The Consul wanted to know what it meant, and the Jew replied, it is as good as the Americans deserve.' As he said this the Consul seized him and threw him out of the window. Then he asked him if he would repeat the offence. The Jewreplied,' The store is my own and I'll do as I please.' Whereupon a contest ensued, which ended as the Jew said ' I've had enough ; will not do the like again.' Then the American sailors who were on shore gave three cheers for the Consul, and three more for the ' Stars and Stripes.' It would not take many such men to quiet the Southerners."—American Paper.

As avenues to foreign influence in innuObserve good faith and justice towards all merable ways, such attachments arc particu- '' •• ,s i . 1 - • ; ; lady alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practise tbe art of eeduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils! Such an attachment of a small or weak, towards a great and powerful nation, dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter. Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to b» constantly awake; since history and experience prove thnt foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican Government. But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial; else it becomes the instrumentof the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defence against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation, and excessive dislike for another, cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil, and even second, the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite, are liable to become susoected and odious , while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests. The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connexion as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities. Our detached and distant situation invites us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people, under an efficient Government, the period is not far off when we may defy materia) injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon, to be scrupulously respected ; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel. Why forego the advantages of «o peculiar a situation ? Why, quit our own to stand upon foreign ground ? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice ? It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world ; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronising infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affaire, that honesty is always tbe best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in genuine sense.
