AUGUST 4, 1864.
President Lincoln's Proclamation for a
Day of Humiliation and Prayer.
We copy the following dispatch from a late
American paper:
Washington, July 7.—The President, in
accordance with the resolution of Congress,
has issued a proclamation appointing the first
Thursday in August as a Day of Humiliation
and Prayer for the people of the United
States, commending them to implore the compassion and forgiveness of the Almighty, and
to pray that, if consistent with His will, the
rebellion may be speedily suppressed, and the
supremacy of the Constitution and Laws of
the United States be established throughout
these States; that the rebels may lay down
their arms speedily and return to their allegiance ; and that we may not be ut'erly destroyed, and that the effusion of blood may
be stayed, and that amity and fraternity may
be restored and peace established throughout
our borders.
Observation of the Day in Honolulu.—
At a meeting held in the Session Room of
Fort Street Church, Mr. Henry Dimond,
Chairman, on Monday evening, August Ist,
it was unanimously voted to observe the day
in accordance with President Lincoln's Proclamation. It was also voted to meet on the
morning of the 4th at the Bethel, at eleven
o'clock, when exercises and addresses suited
to the occasion might be expected.
All Americans and others interested in the
great struggle now pending in the United
States, and desirous of imploring the Divine
blessing, in accordance with President Lincoln's Proclamation, are cordially invited.
Per order.
HONOLULU, AUGUST 4, 1864.
Sandwich Island “Veteran.”
We learn that Mr. Nathaniel Emerson, son
of Rev. J. S. Emerson, of Waialua, has been
honorably discharged from the Army of the
United States, having served the full period
(and over) of his enlistment. At the time of
entering the army he was a member of Williams College. He has now returned to renew his studies. During the period of his
enlistment he has experienced much hard service. At the battle of Fredericksburg, under
Burnside, he was wounded in the knee.
After lying awhile in the hospital, he was
ready to join the army to be ready for the
battle of Chancellorsville, under Hooker,
where he was wounded in the wrist. That
wound healed in season for him to be at Gettysburg, where he was much exposed, but escaped, an exploding shell merely taking off
the back side of his cap.
His term of service expired just before the
opening of the campaign under Grant, who
was unwilling to allow his regiment to leave
just upon the eve of battle, hence Mr. Emerson remained and took an active part in all
the battles from the Rapidau to Richmond,
escaping uninjured, while his comrades fell
on his right hand and left. During a period
of two weeks and longer, he was almost constantly under fire. Surely such young men
deserve well of their country, and are an
honor to their friends.
We also hear good reports of young Armstrong, who is now in command of a colored
regiment at Hilton Head. Of late we have
heard no reports respecting the three sons of
the Rev. Mr. Forbes, formerly of Kealakeakua.
Late News.—News from San Francisco
has been received to July 17th. The latest
news from Sherman reports him within ten
miles of Atlanta, having recently outflanked,
the rebel army and taken 3,f00 prisoners.
The rebels were raiding in Maryland, but reports are conflicting about their progress.
No late news from Grant

of the 4thof Julyin Honolulu.
As in former years, the anniversary of
American Independence was duly observed
by Americans and the public generally.
The day was emphatically a holiday. "From
early dawn until dewy eve," yes, even from
12 o'clock on the night of the 3rd until 12
o'clock on the night of 4th, there was one
uninterrupted series of festive, gladsome and
jubilant expressions of feeling. The committee of arrangements made the most ample provision for the accommodation of all
who were inclined to assemble, for the purpose of listening to an address, and partaking of bountifully loaded tables. The address of J. W. Austin, Esq., was exceedingly
appropriate, and has been published in the
Adcertuer. The addresses which accompanied the regular toasts were also very appropriate. Our limits are so narrow that we
could not publish but the most meagre
sketches, hence, we have selected two for
insertion in our columns. The address of
Mr. Hall, to be found in our columns, was
delivered in reply to the toast " The Heroes
of 1776." The address of Mr. Bartlett wag
an impromptu affair, which called forth much
applause. Other addresses were delivered
by the Hon. Mr. Mcßride the American Minister, Mr. S. N. Castle, Mr. H. A. P. Carter,
Mr. McCully, Mr. A. F. Judd, and Rev. H.
H. Parker.
There was one feature in all these addresses which was exceedingly gratifying,
the eloquent speakers did not deem it their
special duty in glorifying Yankee Doodledom, to abuse all other nationalities, and especially John Bull. We hope that species
of 4th of July eloquence has forever passed
away. Republicanism is the best government for Americans, but other forms of government are better suited to the people of
other lands and states of society. Ike Marvel, alias D. G. Mitchell, Esq.,aptly remarln

Negroes in Paeis.—In Paris we have
seen negroes at balls, and Southern ladies
dancing with them, apparently cured of all
repulsion toward their color and race.
Among Parisians there is no prejudice such
as exists among us. French and colored
servants in the same family eat and sleep
together on a perfect equality, and we see
every day a young colored girl and a pretty
blonde, walking arm-in-arm, under the same
parasol, chatting and laughing, exactly as
two blondes with us. In a French family of
pride and wealth we have dined often with
a colored lady, whose hue .was jet black.
At first, we confess, it spoiled our appetite,
but to have acknowledged this would have
subjected us to ridicule and contempt. It
would be something they could not understand " why we could not as willingly dine
with a black person as a white." But here
they are very few, and have never been seen
in chains. There is no class of negroes so
degraded as their own peasantry. Cor. of

Colored Churches in Philadelphia.—
There are in Philadelphia about 23,000 colored people. A large majority of them are
sober, industrious and intelligent, sustaining
themselves by laboring in various ways ;
many of them in the capacity of servants,
scattered promiscuously over the city.
These people have eighteen churches of their
own, with an average capacity of 300. Of
these 23,000 people, there are 4,000 in communion with these eighteen churches.
Those worshipping in Roman Catholic
churches do not amount to more than 200,
which is the extreme number. The sum
total of those who are in church communion,
and of those not members who attend worship on Sabbath, does not exceed 7,000.

4, 1864.
“All Men are born Free
and Equal.”
The American people have moved slowly
in coining up to the truth of this sentiment
announced in the Declaration of Independence. They are however being educated to
receive this truth in its practical application
to the African race. They have made vast
strides in the practical recognition of this
truth during the last three years. There is
no one aspect of affairs in the United States
more cheering and encouraging than the
nnionof all religious sects and denominations
upon the abolition of slavery aud the complete enfranchisement of the negro. This is
what now seems to be fully demanded—place
the negro upon the same equal terms with
the white man in the army and before the
courts; let him cast a ballot as well as
"
shoot a bullet;" let him enjoy his social,
civil and political privileges the same as a
white man, When this is done, we believe
we shall begin to see the beginning of the
end of this cruel war.
The old school assembly of the Presbyterian Church lately made this declaration :
" We believe the time has at length come,
in the providence of God, when it is His will
that every vestige of human slavery among
us should be effuced, and that every Christian
man should address himself with industry
and earnestness to his appropriate part in the
performance of this great duty."
Bishop Mcllvaine, of Ohio, lately uttered
the following sentiments in the city of New
York:
"Let the enfranchisement of our colored
brethren be 'a complete enfranchisement.'
Let it not stop in the removal of the shackles
till 'all' are taken away. If the colored man
is fit to be a soldier in the full pay and uniform of our citizen armies, standing at least
upon an (quality of danger and trial with the
white man in defense of our Government and
its blessings,' he is fit to be a citizen under
our Government, in full liberty and privilege.
We must boldly face and honestly accept that
result.' With me it requires no effort. God
is leading us to it. All consistency requires
it. Our past history is full of inconsistency
in that direction. We have never come up
to the logical requirements of our Declaration of Independence. God be praised that
he is making our path straight."
When old school Presbyterians and Conservative Episcopalians utter such doctrines,
depend uponit public sentiment in the United
States has taken a long step forward in the
right direction. The utterance of such doctrines is of more importance than a victory
on the Potomac or in Georgia. It shows that
a moral victory has been achieved. The
people of other lands and countries may discard the freedom and equality of the human
race, hut we bless God that there is onecoun-
try where the true Scripture doctrine is asserted upon this subject, viz.: that God
hath made of one blood all nations of men."
"Acts
17:26. This is the doctrine announced
by Paul on Mars' Hill, at Athens. This sentiment may be, denied, but it cannot be refuted ; it may be ignored, but its influence
will still be felt; it may be overlooked, but
it will assert its power. This idea has been
hatched, and as some one has aptly remarked,
it cannot be put back into the shell!
In the Convention, when the Minister
of Finance was speaking upon restricting the
press, this argument was put forth, that it
might be necessary, if a large number of persons should immigrate to this country from
free and liberty-loving America. We would
quietly ask the gentleman to glance his eye
over a map of Polynesia, and we would further ask, upon what group of islands has the
kingly authority of the sovereign been better
sustained than upon these islands ? Look at
Tahiti—look at New Caledonia—look at
New Zealand ! This fact is open and patent
to the world. Republican Americans on the
Hawaiian Islands have staunchly supported
the throne, while Englishmen and Frenchmen, representatives of monarchies, have effectually undermined the throne of almost
every chief and king of Polynesia, and because they have not done it here (1843-1849)
has been partially, at least, owing to the conservative influence ofAmericans.
Free Passage
of the
Naturalists.—We
are glad to learn that the Government has
furnished a free ticket on board the steamer
to Messrs. Brigham and Mann, whenever
they are inclined to pss from inland to island of the group in the prosecution of their
scientific pursuits. This is commendable,
and we could wish the Government might be
induced to go one step further. Supposing
these gentleman can produce the proper
credentials of their ability, we could wish
the Government would employ them to make
a thorough scientific survey of the islands,
similar to those surveys which have been
made by some of the nations of Europe, and
some of the States of the American Union.
A few thousand dollars could not be better
expended. They might not discover any
coal beds, or gold quartz, but they might tell
the world something which would be of importance about our soils, our lavas, our valleys and our mountains.

Honolulu.—Capt. Nason, master of the
American guano ship Arno, was compelled
to visit Honolulu, or some other port in the
Pacific, where he could obtain repairs upon
his leaking vessel amounting to $10,000 or
$12,000. Under these circumstances, for
his own sake and his owners, he desired to
go to that port where he could get the work
done the best and cheapest. Other ports
may have their advantages for repairs in
ships, but this is the statement which we
heard him make before leaving, that he never
was in a port (and he had visited many)
where ship carpenters accomplished more in
a day than they did in Honolulu. A nail
or spike driven did not want driving over.
A piece of plank once fitted, did not need
fitting again. The work on the Arno was
done at the yard of D. Foster & Co. The

cheaply as in any other port in the Pacific.

We retain a most pleasant recollection of him
as a theological student in Princeton Seminary. We were classmates, and from some
peculiar circumstances, thrown much into
each other's society. He was truly one of
those sincere, frank, generous and noble
hearted men that was well calculated to act
well his part in whatever station he was
called to occupy. No longer can it be said
that the missionary lives a charmed life.
The Rev. Mr. Janvier's death adds another
to the list of murdered missionaries. Messrs.
Freeman and Campbell, missionaries under
the auspices of the same society, were shot
hy the Sepoys under the immediate command
of Nena Sahib at the period of the great
mutiny in India. The Rev. W. L. Lowrie,
another missionary of the same Society, was
cruelly killed off the coast of China by the
Chinese pirates in 1847. All these missionaries were students of Princeton Seminary.

he eorgia.
The editor of the London Star thus expresses his opinion of the Confederate vessel, the Georgia. A loyal Yankee could not
do more.
" The Georgia is not merely a Confederate privateer—an armed vessel carrying the
commission of a belligerent power, or acting
under letters of marque ; she is British in
everything but her flag. The AttorneyGeneral gravely objects to her being called a
British pirate, ns a gratuitous dishonor to
our country. But our reticence and selfish
spirit cannot blind the judgment of the world
on plain facts. Delicacy in the use of words
is of little advantage when the ideas to be
expressed are themselves shameful in the last
degree. The well-known truth is that the
Georgia is British built and British mnnned,
that she was made and equipped in a British
port, owned by a British merchant, twice
manned by a British crew, and is a living
defiance of British law. Till the AttorneyGeneral can contradict these dishonorable
facts, nothing is gained by the discussion of
a dishonorable degradation.
No one in all
the world would suppose that the British
Government or nation is responsible for the
piracies of the Georgia, but she is, nevertheless, a blot upon the British name. Every
argument of justice and good faith, of honor
and of prudence, binds us to make the utmost reparation in our power to the American Government and people. When the
largest allowance has been made for the force
of legal pleas—when we have exhausted, as
the Attorney-General did last night, the apologies that may be drawn from American
jurists and precedents—when we have said
all that can be said in defense of our motives
and in extenuation of our mismanagement—
it yet remains unhappily and undisputably
true that enormous mischief has been
wrought by vessels of war illegally built and
equipped in British ports.
The Old Franklin Press.—The Newport, R. 1., Mercury of Jan. 16, says:
"In 1850 we sold the old Franklin Press
to John B. Murray, Esq., of New York, he
agreeing to place it at the Patent Office in
Washington or some equally public or safe
place, our desire being, not so much to secure
the liberal sum offered, as to insure its preservation for future generations, as it was the
first press upon which Benjamin Franklin
worked. From the time of sale until last
week we had lost all trace of the Press, but
now we learn that Mr. Murray has decided
to present it to the Massachusetts Charitable
Mechanic Association, and on Monday next;
the 158th anniversary of the birthday of
Franklin, the presentation will be made, and
the Hon. Robert C. Winthrop will receive it
in behalf of the Society. This act pf Mr.
Murray will be gratifying to many who have
desired its preservation, and although Newport should have retained it, Boston is next
entitled to it, for it was there first used, having been sent from England in 1716." '

it into his mouth! And the young fellow

a planter's house, deserted by its inmates,
and the bird nearly starved in its cage. How

Our soldier staid with us a long while,
and so perseveringly did he train his pet that,
before he returned to the army, she had been
partially converted from her errors. The
young man offered her as a parting gift to
the girls, but none of us would think of
again parting such tried friends. Poll manifested no regret at parting, but went off
screeching a valedictory of " Old Abe's an
honest man—honest man ! He makes
greenbacks ! Poll's a greenback!" And a
letter lately received from Frank Scott contains the pleasing intelligence that Poll has
taken the oath of allegiance, and vows to
shed her last feather in the Union cause.

Ntw Yohx, July 8—The Tinut' Paris oorresponden' mr> Notwithetanding the report*, some time
•luce, that the Alabama was eo worn out that she
would have to be abandoned and never go on the
oo-ao again, she made a trip from tbe East to Cher
hour* in mob iburt time that she was thought to be
rho f'loiit/u. and was so telegraphed on her arrival.
Capi >ifl Window, wifh tbe Ktarsargt, who was then
in Holland, waa immediately sent Tor, and by the pro
teat of Mr. Dayton Ihe French authoriiiea were obliged
to order the Alabama out of port. Sem.nes put the
beet fnoe he could on the matter, though evidently be
did not like to faoe a war ihip. The fight waa so
short and decisive that one would have thought the
Alabama had changed places with one of her unarmed merchantmen. When the Alabama was disabled in her machinery, tbe Kearturgt was run up
float to her and poured a destructive broadside which
tor* away a whole section of the Alabama'! aide at
(he water line, aud let the water through in oaaoadea.
The Alabama then turned tail and made for shore.
Commander Wioalow hoiited the flag of victory and
pursued, but finding the Alabama sinking, he lowered his boats to pick up her orew. Mr. Dayton informed Commander Wioslow that the prisoner* oould
not be paroled, but that they might be transferred 10
the 81. Louis, when she arrived, and oonveyed to the
United States. Commander Winelnw oliims Captain
Seuiuies, and others taken to Southampton, as his
prisoners. He had ample niea> a to pick them up, but
the English yacht actually stole them, as if by a prearranged plan, thus constituting a olear oaae of intervention.
:
The newspapers in Europe and America
have now a fruitful topic for discussion and
gossip. It is a singular event that the noted
Alabama should have returned to the British
Channel, and there within the gaze of Europe
have fought and been sunk by a United States
vessel of war. It will affordanother admirable opportunity for Europeans, and Englishmen especially, to indicate upon which side
they stand in regard to the great American
struggle. It is estimated that the Alabama
has destroyed American shipping amounting
to 815,000,000.
Kings, who once held learning in such
contempt that they didn't think it worth while
to leani to write their own names, now as-
pire to literary honors. The Emperor of
France is an author, the King of Holland
edits a journal, and the King of Sweden has
iust published a collection of poetry. The
latter Sovereign sometimes signs himself
' Charles, a literary man,' and it is said that
recently on thus registering his name at a
hotel in Gothland, the landlord not having a
high opinion of literary men, could not conceal a slight grimace. The scribacious monarch, not relishing this sneer at his assumed
profession, after his departure sent back the
following note to the master of the hotel:
intended to stay a week at Calmer;
'butSir—l
seeing you did not consider yourself
greatly honored by lodging an author, I have
returned to Stockholm.* The letter was
signed, < Charles, a literary man, and King
of Sweden.' In this little transaction one
hardly knows which to laugh at most, the
King or the landlord."
The above paragraph is copied from one
of our late exchanges. Now we think, at the
Sandwich Islands, we have something more
to bout of than the people of France, Holland or Sweden. We have a King who is

hours among his Nobles and the Dele-
gates of his people discussing the articles of
a new Constitution, and yet ourKing's grandfather was a despot, who thought no more of

Timbuctoo ! Verilythe world is growing wiser, and all men are becoming "free and equal."

Gain ok England by the Decline of
American Shipping.—Within the lasttwoor
three years, it is safe to say that a larger
number ol American merchant vessels have
been changed to British rrgisters than have
been launched from our Northern shipyards,
and it is likewise safe to say thatthese transfers will continue until the rebellion is subdued. British official figures show that the
tonnage of British shipping, entered inwards
with cargoes at ports of the United Kingdom
in 16363, increased nearly 11 per cent, over
that of the previous year. The American
tonnage entered inwards at the same ports
was 41 per cent, less than in 1862. This return also exhibits the startling fact that during last year no less than 348 American ves-
