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.

Brigham's letter waa perfectly characteristic of Monnonism, while Governor Dominis' letter was curt, spicy and to the point.

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. They were men and women of like faith *nd fortitude with the English Puritans, and not a whit behind them in prncral intelli- . 59 Missionary Items.

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. Long may he be spared to Religious Truth, illustrated from Science," labor among those islanders who do so much "is one of the most suggestive and readable need the labors of earnest and devoted mis- books.

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.

Late News.—New York, June 27.—The Herald's Richmond and Petersburg correspondent says that General Terry, commanding at Richmond, has issued an order announcing that slavery has ceased to exist in Virginia ; all State and municipal laws restricting the liberty of colored persons have become obsolete ; and hereafter colored people will enjoy the same personal liberty as whites, and be subject only to the same restrictions. 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.
