During our own trip to Micronesia, we saw enough of savage life to convince us that a Naturalist, with such aid as he can obtain at the islands, is compelled to undergo an amount of labor, expense and hardship, which would discourage a man of ordinary ability. Mr. Garrett's modesty we know would object to our making the public statement, but we are bold to assert that there are but few men in the world whose labors are intrinsically of more value to the cause of natural history. Take for example, his late exploration of the Society Islands. It is undoubtedly more thorough and important than that of any English, French or American exploring expedition that ever visited those islands. Should he ever return from the voyage upon which he is about to start, we hope the corporation of Cambridge University, or the Smithsonian Institute, or some other of our great National Institutions, will invite him to enjoy a pors tion of their income, and make him a peni sioner for life. We are confident no explorer is more worthy of their notice, or has contributed more largely to widen the sphere of science and knowledge. We are afraid his modesty will prevent him from urging his claim, and some less deserving man will enjoy the bounty. The Thirty-First. The Twentieth Anniversary of the Resto- ration of the Hawaiian flag, by Admiral Thomas, has just been celebrated with unwonted enthusiasm. Music lent its charms, a procession its imposing display, an oration its power, a feast its satisfaction, and powder |ts noise, to mark the occasion. About two thousand Hawaiians were present at the feast. The Stone Church was crowded to lißten to the eloquent oration of the Hon. R. G. Davis.

Our advancement, indeed, cannot be compared with the magical growth of that miracle of the nineteenth century, California, which in a few short years, from an almost unknown wilderness, has sprung into being, a rich, a powerful State. Our progress has been more slow ; but, by comparing the past with the present, it will seem scarcely less wonderful. Let us glance back through the vista of fifty years, and view for a moment the prospect which 1812 presents to our sight. Let us peer into the gloomy darkness, into the black night of barbarism, which enveloped this nation, and brooded over these shores like a storm cloud. We shall then be enabled to judge of the advance of this people in civilization, untrammeled by slander or prejudice. We shall then be forced to acknowledge that the present state of the nation, which might appear to a superficial observer to be but a small improvement on heathenism itself, is, when compared with its for er degradation and woe, like the glory of the rising sun after the deep shades of midnight. What was the political and social condition of the Hawaiians hall a century ago ? There have been writers who have, with all the allurements of romance, portrayed the innocence and simplicity and happiness of savage life in the island world. They have drawn, with exquisite beauty, pictures of sunny skies, and fairy isles, always clothed in the richest verdure, and resting calmly on the bosom of the placid ocean, whose blue waves breaking gently on the snowy sands, eternally murmur melodious songs of joy. They have sketched the tall waving cocoanut trees, and the silver waterfall, enjeweled with bright rainbows. They have thrown voluptuous beauty and grace around the naked forms of the inhabitants, who, with no cares to perplex and no wants to be gratified, revel in pleasure and contentment unalloyed; who ride on the foam-crested surf, or dance with gay delight on the green turf at the brink of the crystal stream. These fanciful writers have represented the fat and lazy chiefs as the personifications of nobility and dignity ; and have attributed to them a father's love and tenderness for their child-like subjects, which is unknown among the jealousies and ambition of civilized life. But truth tells a different story. She blots out, with her impartial brush, the brightest and most captivating parts of the picture, and leaves in their place dark and heart-rending scenes of superstition, and vice, and cruelty, which seem all the more dreadful because existing on such beautiful isles, fit abodes for pure love and virtue.

Ed of three classes, hereditary nobles or chiefs, priests, and serfs or slaves. These last formed the body of the nation. The various islands of the group were ruled by despotic kings, who were rarely able to exercise their kingly prerogative for a long period in undisturbed peace. Wars and rebellions were of frequent occurrence. Powerful chiefs, actuated by ambition or revenge, often usurped the government, took the power into their own hands, and crushed the miserable people beneath their iron sway, as their predecessors had done before them. The wild yell of conflicting furies filled the :tir but too frequently ; it startled the gloom of midniuht with its ferocity, as the unsuspecting inhabitants of some village awoke to find their huts wrapped in flames, and their lives at the mercy of a band of blood-thirsty warriors. It echoed through the fruitful valleys, or it rung with savage exultation from the dizzy summit of the cragged precipice, as the conquered victim was forced to take the dreadful leap. In battle, the Hawaiians gave no quarter ; they showed no mercy. Death and destruction prevailed. Blood- flowed like water. Hence their wars were peculiarly exterminatins. If the life of the vanquished foe was preserved, it was only that he might be immolated on the disgusting altar of an " _ �60 THE FRI E M I), AUGU S T , I8• S. THE Fill END, AtWUST 4, 1803. "The Irrepressible Conflict." The time had come when the conflict waged. The South took its stand on the side of slavery, and the North on the side of freedom. At the opening of the war the question nt issue was not clearly and distinctly discerned by many at the North, although nt the South, slavery was openly avowed to lie the comer-stone of the Southern Confederacy. As the war advances, the question of slavery comes forth more and more clearly to the light. No clear-minded person, acquainted with the subject, hesitates for one moment to acknowledge this point. As the struggle progresses, the colored man is seen to rise. His standing becomes more elevated. He now wears the U. S. uniform. One colored man has a Surgeon's commission in the U. S. Army. A colored man represents Hnyti at Washington, and has been admitted to the highest social position at Washington. Colored soldiers at Port Hudson, and elsewhere, have shown thnt they are fully capable of fncing the " chivalric sons" of the South. Jeff. Davis has threatened to hang officers if commanding colored soldiers, and taken ns prisoners, but he dare not do it, nor dare he hang a colored soldier who wears an U. S. uniform. Not only has it been necessary to conquer Southern prejudices, but Northern prejudices were equally stubborn. A brighter day is dawning for the colored people. The work of social re-organization is progressing in all parts ol the country. " The irrepressible conflict" must progress until such laws ns the following are forever wiped from the Statute Book of the Southern States : must be into merchandise.

Some thirty years ago, more or leta, when school, it was our task to translate from Latin into English, VEsop's fables. We recollect one fable was entitled " The fly and the ox." The fable, as near us we can now recollect, run after this manner—the fly alighting upon the horn of the ox, very graciously and patronizingly remarks, " If my weight and presence disturb you, I will remove." The ox replied, " I was not aware of your presence." The moral of this fable is manifest. We know not how often we have been reminded of this fable in reading notices of Bishop Colenso's book, He seems to hnvc alighted upon the Pentateuch, and in the style of the fly, says, " I am very sorry to lie under the necessity of publishing to the world that the first five books of the Bible are not divinely inspired, yet having visited Africa and had a palaver with a Zulu chief, I have come to this opinion." If Moses should speak from heaven, would he not say to the Bishop and the whole insect tribe of impugners of that The civil code ol Louisiana thus defines a slave: portion of the Sacred Volume, Your com" " A slave is one who is in tlio power of a i:ioster to whom he belongs, The master may sell ments are worthless, for the Son of God has him, dispose of his person, his industry, and his stamped the seal of Divine Inspiration upon labor, lie oun do nothing, possess nothing, nor acquire anything but what must belong to his my writings."

MTtcl Into a thing,—a soul is transmuted Mnson, we think, makes a satisfactory reply : at which we commend to our renders for perusal. If Colenso's book is to bo judged of by the extract quoted by Mr. Mason, then we could not possibly furnish a more apt illustration of the fable of"The fly and the ox." We have not as yet read Colenso's book, but from the reviews nnd notices nnd extracts, we do not infer that honest believers of the Bible havennythiiig to fear from these attacks. Colenso is not the first fly which has alighted upon the horn of the ox. KekDay. uaofCnhtGohp.vlaeirnno Among the noteworthy incidents of the 31st, we observe that, according to the Polynesian's report of proceedings at the Church, •' a prayer was offered by his Excellency Governor Kekunnaoa." Now if we have any persons in our community so conscientious that tliey could not unite in a prayer offered by a Protestant ordained minister of the gospel, in a Protestant Church, we are glad that our Protestant ministers have so faithfully preached the gospel that our Governors are willing and able to offer prayer on a public occasion, like the Anniversnry of the Restoration. This is certainly one of the most beautiful and convincing arguments that the American Missionaries have not labored in vain, or that their work has been a failure. We have no doubt the Governor —the venerable father of His Majesty— could most feelingly address the Ruler of Nations and Guardian of the Hawaiian people, for he has been intimately acquainted with the troubles and perplexities of this people, during Consul Charlton's time—the French troubles the Carrysfort affair, and, in fine, all the nation's pilikias from the days of Kamehameha 1., to the present time. Our worthy Governor has frequently done and said things that were deserving of record. It was His Excellency that refused to exchange a salute with the American Commodore on the Sabbath. The American frigate was off Honolulu Sabbath morning. An officer was sent on shore to arrange for National civilities. The officer found the Governor nt church, nnd when application was made respecting the proper time for firing salutes, he courteously nnd properly replied, " Apopo"—to-morrow. — News from the U.

StauirlE oned ditor. A copy ot the Gloversville Standard, published inGloversville, Fulton County, N. V., has been received, from which we learn that the editor and proprietor, Geo. W. Henton, Esq., was n sailor in the Pacific n few years ago. From editorials and extracts, we learn that the editor is a good staunch Republican, battling for the Union, and has a brother who is a soldier in Uenenil Hunter's Division, South Carolina. This brother writes long letters for the Standard informing the readers of said paper all about " Dixie," and the war. As years roil away there is nothing more interesting than to trace out the career of many whom we have known as seamen " before the mast." In another column we report a Naturalist, whom we first met on board a whale ship. Not long since, we received a long letter from the Rev. G. A. Silfoersten, now Methodist preacher in Vermont, whom we first knew as n Swedish sailor discharged from U. S. Ship Constitution, in 1846, Another preacher, we lately heard from, in Michigan, who visited our study a few years ago for books. Several are now in the Federal army, in all capacities Iroin common soldiers and upwards. When young men go to sea, and will improve their opportunities for observation, and improvement of their health, and possess a desire for advancement, they find the sailor's life well calculated to elevate and ennoble their characters. It may have its rough features, but if a young man is resolute and determined to get ahead in the world, he will find an open field nnd fine opportunity. Lately a son of one of our old residents, landed from a China bound clipper. He was certainly a fine specimen of an American seaman.

Mr. Ellis very sensibly remarked, " Crown yourself." His advice was followed.

Tahiti under the French Protect- has been regarded by the Imperial Government merely as a military and naval station. In agriculture, as in commerce, the effect of the Protectorate has been to slacken the rate of progress. The native population is dwindling with appalling rapidity, owing to the daily increasing prevalence of drunkenness and debauchery. These are openly countenanced by the French officials. Nowhere can more utter shamelessness be witnessed than at the Pre Catalan—a lawnlike meadow which extends in front of the Governor's palace, and is. in Here, in the fact, one of its dependencies. presence of the gensdarmes and soldiers, under the very eyes of the Protectorate authorities, and in utter defiance of the native laws, dances of the most obscene kind are executed by half-drunken Tahitian girls. One must have seen, (says Dr. Scherzer,) the Upa-Upa danced by these lascivious Tahitians, with all :he impassioned vehemence of a sexual nature, in order to comprehend the mingled shame and indignation with which it fills any but a French by-stander. Amidst a population so dissolute, it is not wonderful that even Catholicism should make little progress. What is much more deplorable is, that the successful efforts of Protestant missionaries should have been arrested, that Protestant schools should be closed, and a large proportion, consequently, of the native children be growing up in utter ignorance, although by far the greater number of the inhabitants, with the Queen at their head, profess Protestantism.
