that the condition of the colored population
was gradually rising. Recent intelligence
is quite astonishing. Not long since, President Lincoln sent for a deputation of colored
people to meet him at the White House!
This is a new thing in the history of the Republic. But in addition to all other news,
President's Proclamation of universal
emancipation of the slaves of all Rebels, on
the Ist of January, takes us altogether by
surprise. Depend upon it, we shall soon
hear of an African army ! General Butler
has already enlisted several companies of
white soldiers, and some that are not quite to
white.
It is a remarkable and note-worthy fact,
that two of the most daring nnd heroic incidents of the war were performed by colored
men, and we believe both were slaves. We
refer to the re-capture of the schooner, the
name of which we have forgot, and the
sailing of the steamboat Planter, out of
Charleston harbor, by Robert Small and his
associates, on the 12th of May. What
General, Major, Captain, soldier or sailor,
has performed a more daring and successful
achievement during the whole war ?
By a late paper, we learn that there is a
call for 50,000 " contrabands" to proceed to
Kansas, to labor upon the Pacific rail-road.
Depend upon it, if the slaves are freed, their
labor will all be needed within the limits of
th« country, and we shall expect to witness a
migration of colored people from Canada

the
pital, who is, if now living, a soldier of

U. S. Army, in the territory of Utah. The
Rev. J. A. Anderson, Chaplain of the 3d
Regiment of California Volunteers, thus
writes from Utah, as follows :
"Dear brother: It gives me pleasure to communicate to you a new proof of the comforting words, " cast thy bread upon the waters,
and thou shalt find it after many days."
Some years ago, a German sailor was taken
sick on your island, and sent to a hospital,
which you was in the habit of visiting.
Yesterday, while marching as an enlisted
soldier in the 3d Infantry, of California Volunteers, a mule which he was riding caused
him to fall before the wheels of one of our
heavy commissary wagons, which ran over
him, crushing his lungs and breaking some
of his ribs. His name is S. A. Myers, and
he desires me to send you the following
message, which I do in nearly his own language.
"Writeto Mr. Andrews, who was and is
a missionary in Maui. He is the first man,
who ever talked to me about my soul. He
first told me to rend my Bible. I was sick
in the Hospital, and from morning until night
he used to be in the Hospital. He used to
talk and pray with me, and read the Bible
to me. After I got well, he got me a place
as a steward in the Hospital.
* 1
want you to tell Mr. Andrews that I thank
him for all the kindness he did to me. He
was good to me and I thank him for it."
The letter contains "much more, in a similar strain. It is gratifying and encouraging to learn, that seed cast at random is
springing up, and bearing precious fruit.
At the time this letter was written, the soldier was not expected to survive.

As I have approached this anniversary, my

thought it would not be inappropriate for me,
to allow the occasion to give shape to my

Israel weTc strictly enjoined by their lawgiver, Moses, after this manner " And thou

Jews to the dealings of God with them.
The principle is a sound one, that it it not

passing thought. The mixed assembly.—
representing various nations, nnd embracing
both landsman and seamen, is indicative of
what the assemblies have always been in
Honolulu, which have gathered to listen to
the preaching of the gospel. Honolulu has
always been, more than any other place in
the Pacific, the spot where have centered the
representatives of many nationalities. Here
the dwellers from the
" South Seas" who
gaze at night upon the Southern Cross, meet
visitors from the cold regions of the North,
who gaze upon the Northern Polar Star.
Here the European and American meet the
representatives from India, China, Japan and
other Oriental lands. Our limited foreign
community of two thousand, often embraces
those speaking fifteen or twenty different languages. It has always been so, since the
harbor of Honolulu was discovered, in the
1794, by Capt. Brown, master of the English ship Buttendorth. As I am now referring to events of an historical nature, I would
mention the fact, that the*English Burial
Service, is traditionally reported to have been
read, for the first time, by Capt. Brown, over
the remains of the American Shipmaster
Capt. Kendrick, who commanded the American sloop Lady Washington. Capt. Kendrick, was accidenta]ly killed, by the wad of
a gun fired, as a salute, on board the English
ship Butterworth.
For convenience, I shall divide the period of
forty-two years, during which the gospel has
been preached in Honolulu, into four smaller
periods, of about ten years each ; the first
commences with the preaching of Mr. Bingham, already referred to, and ends with the
establishment of the Bethel, in 1833 under
the patronage of the American Seamen's
Friend Society: the second period, embraces
the years from 1833 to 1842, or during the
period of the Rev. J. Diell's ministry; the
third period embraces those years, from 1842
to 1852, or during the first ten years of my
ministry, and while I was the only Protestant
clergyman preaching in the English language,
in Honolulu. TJte fourth period., embraces
the yean, from 18tft to 1862.
first Period. This period commences with
(he landing of the Missionaries in Honolulu,
Seamen's Friend Society. On the 10th. of
February, 1830, the Rev. Samuel Whitney,
wrote to the Rev. C. P. Mcllvaine, (now
Bishop Mcllvaine, of Ohio) corresponding
secretary of that Society, requesting, in the
name of the Sandwich Island Mission, that
a chaplain might be sent to Honolulu. From
that communication, I copy as follows:—"At
a late meet in j of the Mission I was appointed to write you, as secretary of the A. S. F.
Society, and invite your attention to the subject of sending hither a missionary, to labor
among that interesting class of men, whose
wants have excited your sympathies and call-
ed forth your truly benevolent exertions. In
all the countries to which our seamen resort,
perhaps there is not a place to be found
where the labors of your society nro so much
needed, as at this port. There are about two
hundred English and Americans who reside
on the island. From one hundred to one
hundred and fifty ships touch here, most of
them semi-annually. Their crews are usually from twenty to thirty each, so it is not
uncommon that we have more than a thousand sailors here at once." Sailor's Magazine, Dec. 1830.
This appeal met with a most favorable reception, and the officers of the Society immediately commenced laying their plans for
the permanent establishment of this Chaplaincy. There were many difficulties which
it Was necessary to overcome. Honolulu, via
Cape Horn, was 18,000 miles from New
York—the Society was new and its funds
small—and many other obstacles presented
In the meantime, the missionaries were so much impressed with the importance of the work, that the Rev. E. W.
Clark, and Rev. R. Tinker, were appointed
or expected to keep up religious services
in the English language. Mr. Andrew
Johnstone, a native of Dundee, Scotland,
and subsequently resident of the West Indies and the United States, was appointed
one of the secular agents of the American
Mission, but with the understanding on the
part of the Board in Boston, that he should

G. B. C. Ingraliam. Were this the time and
place, 1 could say much in regard to the importance and usefulness of that school, where
so many hundreds of both sexes, in Honolulu, have been taught during the last thirty
years. I have now alluded to that enterprise, as it grew so naturally out of an effort
to benefit seamen, and was really started by
one of them. I am now led to speak of the
establishment of the Bethel Chapel, in Honolulu, during the,
Secoiui Period, embracing the years, from
1833 to 1842. During the year 1832, the A.
S. F. Society, established three foreign chaplaincies-one in Havre, France, the second in
Canton, China, and the third at Honolulu.
The Rev. John Diell, was appointed to this
chaplaincy. He sailed with his wife and other
missionaries, bound to these islands, from New
London, Connecticut, on the 20th of Nov.,
1832,and arrived here on the Ist of May,
1833. From the annual report of the SociThe
ety, for 1834, 1 quote as follows :
chaplain carried out with him a considerable
part of the materials for erecting a chapel
and dwelling-house. Through the good
Providence of God, he was well received by
the King and principal chiefs, as well as by
the English and American residents, and
was immediately furnished with a place of
temporary worship, and every facility afforded him for erecting the chapel. The foundation was laid on the 29th of July, and the
building was erected on the 22d of last
"
August."
The edifice here described is the one in
which we are now assembled. Externally
it remains the same, but the internal arrangements are entirely changed.
The edifice
was dedicated to the worship of God, on
Thursday, November 28, 1833, when publicreligious services were commenced, and have
been continued with scarcely the omission of
a single Sabbath, from that day to this pres-
time.
From all I can learn respecting the
character and success of the Rev. Mr. Diell,
he was emphatically the right man, in the
" taken great deright place." I have always

published in the Sailor's Magazine, and his

he wasa leading editor. Very frequently
have I met shipmasters and seamen, who
were personally acquainted with him. From
them, as well ns from his missionary brethren, I have became intimately acquainted

was in his work, yet in its discharge he was
not permitted to labor but a few years.
His health became so much impaired, in the autumn of 1839, that he was compelled to relinquish preaching. As it did
not essentially improve during the following
months, he embarked for China, on the 11th
of April, 1839, having made arrangements
with the Rev. Mr. Tinker to officiate, during
his absence.
Mr. Diell's health continuing
to decline, he pursued his voyage around
the world, returning to Honolulu, in June,
1810. Here he remained for ;i few months
and embarked, with his wife and children,
for the United States, in December, but died
at sea, January 18, 1841, arid his mortal remains were consigned to the deep, there to
rest until the voice of the Arch-angel's trump
shall summon " the sea to give up its dead."
You will pardon me for dwelling thus long,
in sketching the history of English preaching, previous to my arrival.
Third period. This period embraces the
first half of my ministry in Honolulu. I
would thus divide my ministry, because during this period, as I have remarked I was
the sole Protestant clergyman here, with the
exception of a few months during the year
1848, when the Rev. T. Dwight Hunt,
preached most acceptably to a congregation
of foreign residents, worshipping in the
Sharity School house. The friends of the
enterprise then failed in organizing a second
religious society, in consequence of the very
large emigration from Honolulu to California. Under the peculiar circumstances of
that movement, Mr. Hunt left for San Francisco, where his services were immediately secured as chaplain,—being the first Protestant
clergyman in that city, and as, is well known,
he subsequently became pastor of the congregational church, now presided over by the
Rev. Mr. Lacy.
It was my privilege to enter upon my official duties, in this city at a most interesting
era in the history of the Hawaiian nation
and of commerce in the Pacific. At that
time, this nation was struggling to assume
an honorable position una standing among
the civilized and christian nations of the
earth. During my passage from New York
to Honolulu, agents accredited by this Government, had left to secure a recognition of
this nation, by the great powers of America,
England and France. It was a period of
threat excitement. Just before my arrival a
naval commander of France had made demands upon the King and chiefs, which
were very humiliating but to the house of
the French nation, restitution has been made,
and only a few weeks after my arrival I saw
the Hawaiian flag lowered and the British
flag hoisted upon all government buildings,
forts and vessels. While I entertained my
own views upon those political changes and
revolutions, yet I never allowed myself to
make any of them form topics of discourse

Arrival of the Episcopal Mission.
We congratulate the friends of Episcopacy,
upon the arrival of Bishop Staly and two
other clerical Missionaries from England
It has appeared strange to many, that Engglisli Missionaries should never have
conic hither, the Rev. William Ellis being
the only one, who has hitherto labored upon
the islands. He remained here but a short
period, and closed his term of labor near forty years ago. The reason why the London
Missionary Society, (which has sent missionaries to the Society Islands,) has never
sent any to the Sandwich Islands has been
this, that between the American Board of
Missions and the London Missionary Society there was this understanding, that the
Americans should occupy islands North of
the line, and the English, the "South Seas."
Now, the present Mission comes at the invitation of His Majesty and foreign residents in Honolulu, and under the auspices
ofthe " Church Missionary Society" and the
old "Propagation Society," both Societies
contributing for its support. The members
of this Mission find many things on their
arrival to encourage them in their work
The Royal Family and many of the foreign
residents are much interested in their success.
The Methodist Chapel affords good accommodations, as a temporary place, for holding
Divine Service. We earnestly pray that the
Mission may enjoy a prosperous career, and
bo instrumental in imparting n deeper spiritual earnestness to the churches and organizations already existing, as well as be theagency which the Holy Spirit shall employ
to awaken, renew, sanctifyand prepare many
souls for those " mansions not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens."
Every deed approved of God,
Where'er its lot be cast,
Leaves some good influence behind
That shall forever last.
Episcopal Meeting.—A imetiug wss held at the
Court-house on Thursday evening, Oct. 28. at which

I.
Several chapters in Mr. Hopkins' book,
tting to the earlier history of the islands,
i very entertaining and written in a lively
le. The reader however must be on his
guard, and not place too much reliance upon
the author's dates and statements. He asserts, for example, upon page 160, that, Nahienaena born in 1816, and sister of Kamehameha 111., is now Premier of the kingdom,
under the name of the Princess Victoria!
The truth is, Nahienaena, died more than
twenty years ago. Now, on page 271, our
author correctly states that, Victoria, sister
to the present King is Premier ! But on
the same page Mr. Hopkins, asserts that
Victoria's third brother, is Governor of one
of the islands, whereas, he died many years
ago ! We could easily point out many similar mistakes. He speaks on page 211, of
Dr. Judd, as a minister of the gospel. We
are aware that the Doctor has filled many
offices, but now learn for the first time that
he has been minister of the gospel!—
We were amused with the author's allusion to Mr. Jarves, on page 124. He is
spoken of as " a candid and industrious historian, but an American citizen/ Now,
whether there is anything incompatable in
Mr. Hopkins' mind, between " a candid historian," and an " American citizen," we do
not know, but his language would certainly
convey that idea. Of late some few American citizens have written histories of tolerable ability, viz., Prescott, Bancroft, Motley
and others. Mr. Wyllie, seems to be in the
estimation of Mr. Hopkins, the "main
spoke" in the government wheel, or to employ Mr. Hopkins' own language, " the keystone of the governmental arch," page 268.
Now if the King's foreign minister does
really occupy so important a position, we
beg of him, not to resign his office, or to
speak in more courtly style, " throw up his
portfolio" and retire to Princeville, as consequences the most disastrous might follow!
The keystone gone, " stand from under."
It appears to us, utterly unaccountable,
how Mr. Hopkins could have allowed himself
to have inserted on page 242, that wood-cut
of the Rev. William Richards. He remarks upon a fly leaf, that it is " a sketch
fretn memory by the author."
Was there
ever anything more absurd, than for Mr.
Hopkins to insert this engraving ! He had
met Mr. Richards, in 1844 or '5, and now
seventeen years afterwards, he undertakes
to sketch his likeness from memory! From
our vivid recollection of Mr. Richards' fea-
chapter XXIV, he speaks of " missionary
achivement and failure." He seems tolerably well '• read up," before commencing to
write his book. The works of Ellis,
Dibble, and numerous missionary reports lie
upon this table, to which he makes frequent
allusion. As he contrasts the state of the
Hawaiian nation in 1820 with thatof 1860,
he is compelled to record much to the credit
of the band of " Bostonians who landed in
Hawaii." "To the honor of the missionaries be it said, that their little Augustinian

MEMORANDA.
XT Brig Wailua, Lass, reports—Left Honololu Jan. 11,
lsSl, on a whaling and trading cruise South, and cruised principally on theline and among the Micronesian group. Took 14
whales,end,obtained 100 brls. cocoanut oil. Oct. 11,'61,
discovered a shoal In lat 7 ° 46 8., long. lw» ME. about hair
a mile wide, and in length, as far as could be seen from the
mast-head—itstands N.W. and S.K.; we passed over it, and
fewnd 11 fathoms water ; aboutone and a half miles from where
we was, tbe water had a milky appearance, and thinks a vessel
passing over there would be likely to strike ; did not find this
shoal oa any of my charts, therefore, ships paaslng that way
will require to keep a sharp look-out. At the place where we
wentover, tberocks were plainly visibleunder the vessel. Oct.
28, lat. 6° 40 8., 146° 18 X., during the night, we discovered
another shoal, not down in our charts ; it ia situated between
Roots and Lotten Islands, and ia about half a mile in circumference,and la covered with trees. Nor. 6, discoveredanother
shoal to the westward of New Britain, N.W. of Nord Island,
Aye m*wa off shores. This shoal ia about half a mile wide and
five miles long, having the appearance of a half moon ; we
lowered a boat and examined It. finding about 10 feet water
thawsan, Oa approaching this shoal, the man at the mast-head
oried, '-There she blows !" but on nearing it we discovered It to
be a boilingspring,constantly emitting water about 150 feet in
thatair, and on drat sighting this. It had Just the appearance of
a whale spouting; this spring can be seen about is) miles off.
Cruised last in the vicinity oftbe Bosiu Islands,and took three
more sperm whales. Arrived at Waimea, Kauai, on the 21st of
Senassjibar, where we procuredprovisions, and arrived at Ilonoola on the 27th, alt well.
