The actual cost of 1,000 copies of the Friend distributed gratuitously, is over three hundred dollars per annum, but as yet the amount of donations for thatpurpose this year, is but 8183,87. Will not some of our seafaring friends among shipmasters, officers and sailors, who have made a good season, remember The Friend ? General Miller.—By the last mail letters were received from this gentleman, confirming former reports of his continued good health at Lima. We were so fortunate as to receive not only an aloha but a photographic likeness of the General. It is true to life, and we are not surprised that he docs not appear to grow a whit older, knowing his habits of early rising and regular exercise. Long may he live to enjoy the reward of hi? labors and hardships, in achieving the independence of the South American Republics. We are confident many of our readers will be interested in the article copied from Silliman's Journal, upon the island of Ebon. Having so recently visited that part of the Pacific, we can testify to the truthfulness of the writer's observations.

More George Kay who named it Boston Island. than fifty distinct species, however, will be - found. We will mention some which enter chiefly into the support of native life. The Artocarpus is represented by some eight or ten varieties, one, the A. integrifolia—and the rest A. incisa. The Pandanus odoratissimus is represented by some twenty varieties. Its fruit enters largely into the native food. It is prepared in large rolls enclosed with its own leaf,—and may be kept for years. The cocoanut (Cocos nucifera) is represented by some ten varieties distinguished only by the nut. Two varieties of tarro (Arum esculentum) is quite plentifully grown. It is raised in large beds prepared somewhat for it. These beds differ from those found on the Kingsmill islands. They are not as there, excavations carefully worked out and good soil prepared and worked in. They seem in a measure to be natural excavations, perhaps the sunken hollows between hillocks. These hollows with some little preparation would answer the purpose : —at least their origin at this day is unknown. If a native be asked concerning them, he invariably refers them to the work of spirits. Around the margin of these arum patches, are grown bananas in quite plentiful crops. And the larger islets have just sufficient to raise oranges and figs, which the missionaries are now growing. This atoll is the home for a few varieties of birds. But in this feature of the island, the contrast is as wide between the " low coral" island and the "high volcanic" one —as between their natural features. The high islands of Micronesia are largely supplied with the feathery tribe,—but thjs atoll can claim only a very few birds—and with two or three exceptions these are all water fowl. There are a few Columbidm, Carpophaga oceanica, which manage to elude the keen search of the natives. These birds are occasionally heard cooing away in the tops of some quite isolated bread-fruit tree. A Cuculus gives forth occasionally its sharp whistle—and these, with the addition of another land bird whose species I have not been able to learn—are all the feathery songsters this atoll can claim. The shores o( the reef at low tide, and the bare rocks, are a little enlivened by the brown and white Heron. Small /locks of snipe (Scolopax) gather on the sand bars— or single individuals are running along the An occasional beach picking up food. plover (Charadnus) is to be seen. Sea swallows (Sterna Stolida and Sterna Minutia) are skimming the watersof the lagoon or resting on the beach. A Booby (Lula) now and then is seen sailing over the island. His home is unknown to the natives. His want of caution is clearly seen in the easy way a native will ascend a tree in which the bird is roosting and with a slipnoose capture him. An interesting explanation of the origin of the single variety of the Cuculus is given by the natives—so skillful has this bird been in concealing its birth-place. As the natives find it only full grown they say that it is born and nourished in the cloud.-* and falls to the earth of full size. At least five species of reptiles are found on the atoll. Four are of the Lacertimdx— and one, Geckotide. The Gecko readily domesticates himself, and lives upon tho house flies and gnats he finds. The Lacertinidce find their homes on trees and bushes. . �83 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1861. The varieties of insects are interestingly numerous. It might seem as though these atolls, so comparatively recent in their origin, would be but feebly represented by any varieties of animal life. But the entomologist will find here not an uninteresting field of study. The most common kind of insect is the parasite Pedicuhis, disgustingly numerous in the heads of natives: a large size Libellula, dragon fly, is quite numerous, and a few of the diurnal and nocturnal Lepidoptera are found. Of unts and mosquitoes and flies there are large swarms. Of theculez there is probably a new kind, which might be called diurnal culex. They are very small and almost as numerous as those more commonly seen at night. Of Scolopendra—Centipedes—there are many to be found and of rather formidable size—though we rarely hear of their, biting any one. There arc several varieties of Spiders. Tho scorpion, though found on the atoll, is small and harmless. The Crustacea are numerous on land and in the water. We seem to have a great since, there was a passage sufficiently large to let a proa pass over the reef between what was then two islets. Now that passage has been filled up, and large bushes grow there. The only tree of any size is the cocoanutand Pandanus,which have been planted. The fact we would state as illustrative of two points—one bearing on the fact we have just referred to—the rate of growth of an islet—and the other, that large islets are made by stringing as it were, together several smaller ones. It may be questioned whether a large islet, say some two or three miles long, is one continuous production ; it was rather formed by several smaller islets becoming attached and the whole in time becoming one large islet. This fact I think can be clearly proved to have been the case with the growth of the islet of Ebon. There are several spots which may be indicated as the welding points of small islets. These places are usually narrower, and less overgrown with bushes and trees, and possess a thinner soil than other parts of the whole islet. Then again there are places which abundance of the Paguridae—hermit crabs. are expanded, just as if they had been the I hav.e thought they were more numerous on central nucleii of the islets.

We are now deeply interested in watching lagoons and the Marshall islands. It will be noticed, on the reef of this atoll, the formation of sand banks at one or two that besides the islet of Ebon there are nine- points. As yet they are shifting about—as teen others. All of them are much smaller the winds ana seas prevail for a given time than Ebon, though for their size they are from any quarter; they are as yet covered equally fertile.

She showed marks of contact with the ice, but was tight and strong, apparently the same as when abandoned. There were plenty of provisions and whaling gear on board, but as the Milton had just left home she had no occasion to "wreck," hence the good ship Alice Frazier was left to float on, until wrecked upon the Japanese Islands, or shores of China. A Maritime Engagement.—The battle to which we now refer, took place not in the Gulf of Mexico, or off Charleston, but in the Ochostk Sea, between three boats' crews of whalemen, and a school of Killers," or species of small whale. The "battle occurred about the first of August. A whale and calf had been killed, when a school of "Killers" made their appearance. They would enter his mouth and bite off pieces of his tongue, dragging the dead carcass under water; but our hardy whalemen were not disposed to allow their gigantic prey to escape. Armed with harpoons and lances, they made a desperate onslaught upon the killers. Now came the tug of war. One boat was stove and one sailor had a leg broken. The killers fought desperately, and their opponents were as determined. There was no panic on either side—no Bull's Run affair! The killers would rush on, and did not yield until it was supposed the "whole school " of twenty five or thirty were killed. The carcass of the dead whale was finally rescued and towed off by the whale ship Pacific. Who will deny that whaling is a " good school " to train men for naval service ? The Missionary Martyrs onErromanga.—The following we copy from the San Francisco Bulletin, and that paper is indebted to a Melbourne paper for the same: The Rev. G. N. Gordon, missionary of the"London Missionary Society, and his wife, have been barbarously murdered by the natives of Erromanga, one of the New Hebrides. The measles having of late raged at that island and killed off a great many of the natives, the latter have got a notion that it has been introduced by the whites, and determined, it would seem, on a general massacre of the latter. The good missionary and his wife have, however, been the only victims as yet. Both were killed treacherously by blows from behind, given by men who pretend to be friends. The bodies (fearfully mangled) have been recovered and buried. This is the same island at which the Rev. John Williams and Mr. Harris were butchered in the year 1840." Commenting upon this news, the Herald calls attention to the fact that the most deeply affected ef the mourners at the graves of murdered missionaries, was the very man whose hand had struck the first missionary that landed on those shores—John Williams. �85 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1861.

A few days hence I hope to admit twenty-four to the church at Ivirua and Oneroa. At Rarotonga a great revival has taken place ; upwards of eight hundred individuals have joined the CIfISSCSa In confirmation of this statement a native teacher of Rarotonga writes: " This is a season of great joy in Rarotonga. Multitudes of men and women, and young persons, have been led to abandon their former evil practices, and their backsliding, and have with all their heart believed upon Christ, and have been admitted into the fellowship of the church. It was in the month of August last this thing grew, and gave us joy.

Arrived on thewhaling ground June 16 cruised principally In B.W. and tihantar Bsys, and found the weather foggy, with much ice, during July and August, tbe weather became good towards the close of the season. Saw the first whales June 21 took the first July 16, and the last on the 21st Sept. Together with the Elisabeth, we took twelvebowheads this season. Ifaw most whales first part September in B.W. Bay. Left the Ochotsk Oct. 10, and came through the 60th passage on the 16th ; had good breexes from the westward till the 32d, when a strong gsle sprung up B.K, In which we lalrt-to for about six hours. On the 24th, we fell in withanother gsl« from the westward, lat. 43° N., long. 171° W. ; after that we had good breezes till Oct. 30, in tat. 32° N., long. 160° W., when we had five days calm. Took the trades in lat. 39 36. long. 168 °, and carried them to Honolulu. JXT B*rit Elizabeth, Whitney, reports—We cruised in the Ochotsk in companywith our Tender, (the Kalatna,)the particulars of which cruiseare embodied in Capt Kelly's report. I will thereforemerely give a short account of our own troubles, etc. On our passageup, May 26, had a severegale,commencing from B.K. and ending at N. W., whichlasted for thirty-six hours; lost our mlcen staysail, had the rudder-head nearly broken off, and started the vessel leaking. Four daysafter, encountered another gale from tbe same direction, in which we lost a jib,flying jibboom and fore topgallant-mast, with all the gear attached, and the leak increased. From that time till we started for home, enjoyed good weather. Left Felixstoff Oct. 10, and had strong favorable winds to the Straits, the vessel at that time was leaking 600 strokesper hour. Came through the 60th passage on the 17th. Fell in with another heavy gsle on the 22d, In lat. 47° 60 N., long. 170° 15 X., from S.K. and finally Teered to the westward, from whence it blew with terrific violence. In this, thelast and worst gale this season, we lost three larboard and all thestarboard boats from the cranes, split the head-rail, stove in the cabin windows, and increased theleak to about 1600 strokes sn hour. At one time theleak was so bad, and appeared to be gaining, that we had serious doubts as to our safety. On examining toe ressel, we found the principal leak to be in the bows, and whenever she plunged heavily the water would rush in in perfect streams, and we bad sometimes from four to five feet of water In the hold. Had two deaths on board this season —one, a native named Nuuanu, fell from the yard whilereefing, and was instantlykilled *, the other, named Naumike, died of consumption—both belonging this place. XT Ship Hibernia, Bumpus, reports—Sailed from Honolulu Dec. 13,1860, and first cruised on theLine lat. 1 ° 69 3., lonp. 163° W., got 80 brls. sperm.

Feb. 8, while going Into 'helee harbor of Ascension, we got ashore on a coralreef, the oldest pilot on the island being in charge at the time. Arrived at Guam Feb. 26, and left again on the 28th for Hongkong to repair, where we arrived March 9. Left there May 6, and cruised in the Yellow and Japan Seas. June 8, our much respected Captain, P. C. Edwards, died, having been sick most of the time since leaving Hongkong. He suffered considerably from an attack of fever and ague, but got better of that i about a week before his death he was taken ill with brain fever, of which complaint he died. On the 11th, we went into Hakodadi, and next day buried our deceased commander Left on the 18th, under command of Geo. W. Bumpus, (late mate,) and Mr. G. D.

Including the first to tbe fourth, did openly before the crew refuse to doany more duty on board the bark Monmouth, or far the boots, and requested to be put on shore which requett waa complied with ; they thenput their things into a boat and pulled themselves on shore. Previous to their leaving the vessel, they each signed their r tme to a paper purport!tre this statement, and signed clear of all duet and demanda againat Shipmaater and Owners. I with It to be understood that these four officers had been In the boats all the season, and among plenty of whales, hut did* not get one drop of oil up to theabove date. H. E. Oaaaar.

Intersing to Captains.—The BostonComercial Bub/ewfli<whnv,cbeseramyg-odin en generally as excellent authority in nautical matters, has the following remarks on working the mainsail In stays, which, we think, commcad themselves to much attention. The Bulletin has long been urging that to being weak-handed in crews is attributable the majority of marine disasters. Our contempo- rary says: Our squarerigged vessels, ofall classes, invariably haul their mainsails np before tacking, because they hare not men enough to work them. It is well known to seamen that tbe mainsail is the most powerful sail in a vessel, because It is large and near the centre of effort; its propelling force, there fore, Is very desirable in bringing a ship round, for th« greater her speed, the quicker she will answer her helm and stay. We frequently hear thatcertain ships will not stay, that they must be wore from one tack to the other ; the reason is obvious, they cannot work their mainsails. Our pilots state that when they have to beat a vessel in against a northwester, they single the tacksand sheets ofthis sailand lead themainbraces forward, and by these means they are enabled to make vessels stay, which their captains, in many Instances, had stated never came round head to wind before, because their mainsails could not be worked. One of our clippers, a fine, long, sharp vessel, when working out of Sangor, below Calcutta, was declared by her captain to be incapable of staying i vat least," said be, addressing tbe pilot, -* I could never gether round head to wind." What you can doand I can do," replied the pilot, "are very different frequently have worked this vessel before; I know things. I allaliout her ; and can makeher do anything whichany Teasel of her like can do." Like our own pilots, he had her main tacks and sheets singled, worked the mainsail,Snd experienced no difficulty in bringing herround every tackThere Is no difference of opinion among seamen about the value of the mainsail in stays, either in bringing a vesselround quickly or In aiding her to hold her own, but, as we have already remarked, the sail cannot be worked for want of men. We have little doubt that many fine American vessels have been lost In consequence, when working off a lee shore. In heavy weather this sail ought to be carried as long as iiossible when working on the land, especially if there Is an adverse sea, and thatall vessels ought to carry mvn enough to workit. Every class of English square riggers, exrept, perhaps, some of the timber vessels of North America, work the mainsail. The clumsy colliers, which are nearly semi-circular in the ends, always use it while they csn carry it for the best of reasons vis.: they would not stay without it. The English and American in stays haul round the yards upon the main and roixxen masts at the same time \ but the French, being better manned than either, haul all their yards at ones and work tbe mainsail also. Probably the English collier brigs and barques are the most handily rigged vessels for working in the world, and are unquestionably the best manned. Their crews before shipping, if required, must produce their indentures of appenticcship, showing that they have served their time to the sea—thus their hands are what they profess to be, seamen Though all of them carry apprentices, yet these in a few months are ■ > thoroughly trained that they are nearly as ser vUseable as men. When a collier has to he stayed, the captain takes the wheel himself, works the trysail, and lends a hand to haul aft the main sheet; he gives all the orders, and helps to carry them out And we believe, in some of our brigs, If the same system were adopted, the same results might be obtained. Although our vessels are generally short-handed, compared with th« English, yt we have more prirlledged persons. We carry a cook and a steward, who arc seldom called upon to aid tbe sailors, and as for the captain putting his hand lo a rope, even In working ship—it Is an act of rare occurrence. Now, an English collier hasa boy—generally the youngestapprentice— who performs the duty of cook and steward, and who mu«t always be on hand when the Teasel Is In stays; from ths captain downward, all must work.

Sailing through these calm unruffled waters, I wis greatly impressed with the beau- ties of the luxuriant isles of Borneo and Celebes, and on looking over my chart one Sunday morning, in company with a missionary passenger, we were both struck with the poetical names in the East India Archipelago. My clerical friend begged me to give him my ideas of the state of things in the year 1900, if the nations of the earth keep peace, and bind their united energies to the glorious task of enlightenment in the heathen lands, now in darkness, and I gave him the following VISION OF 1900.

Nami'iis, (Tarn sad O«roni»,)) Juij v, lsei. i I am going to draw the attention of your readers to a very remote country, but one in which France, and also the great cause of the gospel, are interested. You remember probably what occurred, during the years 1842, '43 and '44, in the Society Islands, and particularly in that of Tahiti. The whole of Europe was agitated by these events, and never did King Louis Phillip fully recover from the crises which he provoked. The inhabitants of Tahiti were almost all converted to Christianity; they possessed missionaries, churches, a regular worship, schools, and even a liberal political Constitution. Their advance in civilization was wonderfully rapid. This prosperity excited the jealousy of the Popish priests, who resolved, according to their usual custom, to resort to arms in order to establish themselves in the Islands of the Pacific; and, with the aid of Louis Phillip, or rather of Queen Maria Amelia, a bigoted princess, a French squadron, commanded by Admiral Dupetit Thouars, penetrated to the Island of Tahiti, threatening to bombard the city. This odious invasion greatly shocked the religious community of England. The two Governments exchanged hostile notes, and war was upon the point of breaking out between the most powerful nations of Europe because of this little island situated at the other end of the globe. At last, Lord Aberdeen and M. Guizot consented to make an arrangement; the missionary PritcAard, who had been abused by the French officers, received an indemnity, and the protectorate of France was recognized by the Cabinet of St. James. The Roman Church hastened to send missionaries to Tahiti und the neighborhood around, who neglected no means to obtain proselytes. But their promises and their threats produced little effect. In vain they offered bribes; in vain they expelled the English pastors under false pretexts, and tried to dazzle the sight and the imagination of the natives by the showy pomp of their worship; these snares disgusted the majority of the inhabitants. The priests had found a people who possessed and read the Bible. The Tahitians, for the most part, remained firmly attached to the doctrines which they had been taught; and when they were deprived of their spiritual leaders, they chose evangelists from among their own people to preside over their worship and to instruct their children. Such is their condition at the present time. Tahiti and the small neighboring islands contain a population of 14,000-or more souls. The number of communicants in the Protestant Church is about 2,300; a still larger number of Tahitians attend the Evangelical Church without making any public professions of faith. The congregations are under the charge of native pastors, who are not learned men, but who are full of zeal and devotion. There are, further, six Popish priests, liberally paid from the treasury of France; they say mass before the troops in the garrison and some of the inhabitants of Tahiti whom they have succeeded in proselyting. Liberty of conscience and of worship is secure to all. This article is in conformity with the Constitution of the State. Besides it would be impossible to pass acts of intolerance in this country. Rome knows that she must grant toothers the rights that she claims for herself. Protestantism is recognized as the national religion, that is to say, all the inhabitants' without exception, are taxed for the Protestant worship and Protestant schools. As to the political laws of Tahiti, they are worthy of notice and sympathy. Queen Pomare Vakine is at the head of the State. She is about fifty years old, with a good intellect, and possesses the esteem of her subjects. She is the constitutional sovereign of the country, and administers public affairs, in connection with the French Imperial Commissariat, or Commandant of the French Establishments in Oceanica. Besides, there is a Legislative Assembly, composed of 145 members. The deputies are appointed for three years. Every body of 100 inhabitants chooses a representative. The Legislative Assembly holds its sittings annually, and they usually continue for a month. It appoints its own President, Vice-President and four Secretaries. Two Committees, one for the examination of laws and petitions, the other on finances, assemble regularly. The debates are published. What a strange and wonderful sight to behold a people enjoying the privileges of a Parliamentary Government, who, scarcely a century ago, were plunged in all the horrors of Paganism, and offered human sacrifices to barbarous deities ! The Bible preached by missionaries, and accompanied by the Spirit of God, has effected the great change. 1 do not' pretend to say that all the Tahitians are good and moral men. Evil passions prevail there as elsewhere ; but it must be acknowledged that the civilization of this people has made almost fabulous progress. Some young men from Tahiti came to Paris in 1847. They were educated in our best colleges, under the direction of Rev. Grandpierre, and.on returning to their native land they earnestly engaged in instructing their fellow-countrymen. In the last session of the Legislative Assembly a pious Tahitian proposed to send a petition to Queen Pomare and to the French Imperial Commissariat, to ask permission to have two Protestant pastors from the mother country. I will quote some lines of this note, for it will serve to show the intelligence and piety of this people. " As it is very important," they say, that we should be instructed in the national" religion of the country, we petition our Emperor Napoleon 111. to select for us two French Protestant missionaries from among our brethren in France. We promise to advance to these missionaries, from the school fund, the sum of 5,000 francs, to build houses for them, &c. The enemies of our religion, who are also the enemies of the French protectorate, seek to injure us, because we do not wish to be ungrateful towards those who have drawn us from Popery; they grieve us by saying that we are not attached to France. We believe that these false charges will be refuted by the petition which we now ad- ... �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, dress to you. We have been delivered from our state of barbarism by Protestant ministers. Our religion is good; it inspires us with love towards France, which protects us. We are anxious that our children should learn the French language ; but we do not wish them to be tempted, by learning the language, to chan. c their religion." Some explanations are here necessary. The priests and other agents of Popery have invented, with base intention, the slanderous assertion that the profession of Protestantism is an act of hostiliiy against France, and that the Tahitians who persist in the evangelical faith are opposed to the French protectorate. The same priests have opened schools, with the plausible design of teaching the children the French language, but in bk reality to proselyte them to Romanism. The ■Christians of Tahiti have not been the dupes Bof these conspiracies. They accept implicitly the protection of France; they are rejoiced to have their children instructed in our national language; they only refuse to change their religion; this is certainly their right and their duty. I have under my eyes the debates of the Legislative Assembly of Tahiti upon this subject: they occupied ■ two days. The speakers were not eloquent; but they showed good sense, judgment and fidelity. Napoleon 111. and his counsellors will return a favorable answer, we hope, to the petition of the Tahitians, who agree to pay the two from their own purse. Religious rty must be a reality. G. dc F. 1 am, &c., Etors The Immense Armies of the Potomoc. There is little doubt, remarks the Cincinnati Enquirer, that the armies now in Washington and its vicinity amount to the immense aggregate of near 200,000 men on each side, or 400,000 combatants. Whenever a general battle shall occur, it will not only have no parallel on the Western Continent in the forces engaged, but hardly one in the history even of modern Europe will vie with it. The great battles of Napoleon were generally fought with, numbers far inferior to those now under the walls of Washburn. For instance, at Austerlitz, where Napoleon defeated the combined armies of Russia and Austria, he had but 80,000 troops; the allies had 100,000. At Jena and Auerstadt, where he broke the power of Prussia, his forces were not over 130,000 strong. At the great battle of Wagram, fought with the Austrians on the bank* of the Danube, in 1809, he had but 150,000 men. At Borodino, under the walls of Moscow, he had but 120,000 to oppose the Russians. At Waterloo he did not have to exceed 80,000 troops. Not one of the battles in Italy or Spain even equaled this last number. The only battle field we now recollect, where the combatants were as numerous as those around Washington, was Leipsic, in 1813, where Napoleon had 176,-000 men, and the allies—Russians, Austrians, Prussians, Swedes and Germans— numbered 200,000. Nearly half a million men took part in this tremendous battle, which was known as the Combat of the Giants. It lasted three days, and ended in the complete overthrow of Napoleon, who was driven into France, where a series of disasend until Napoleon abdicated his crown and was exiled to the Island of Elba, in 1814. No battle was ever fought on the soil of the United States where 60,000 combatants took part in it on both sides. From these figures we can judgeof what a battle we have reason to expect when the hosts of McClellan and Beauregard, more than twice the number of those of Napoleon and Wellington at Waterloo, come in collision on the banks of the Potomoc. It will be an event that will be the great military feature, probably, for ages to come, of martial prowess in America. Washington never had 30,000 men in one army under his command; Jackson never had 15,000, and Scott never before the present year had seen 20,000 men under his orders. Great is the ability required to manoeuvre and handle such a large body of men, and bring them all into action at the proper time and place. The late battle at Bull Run extended over seven miles from one end of our line to another. At Washington, probably, the battle may be raging over a field double this size. To know what is going on in such an amphitheatre, and to be prepared to order up reserves and strengthen every exposed point, requires the highest degree of intellect. At the battle of Bull Run half of both armies never fired a shot Beauregard had 40,000 men at Manassas Junction, only three miles distant, whom he never used, and yet he would have been defeated had it not been for the opportune and unexpected arrival of a portion of Gen. Johnston's army from the Upper Potomac. McDowell had a powerful reserve, that took no part whatever in the action, and yet it was strong enough to have beaten back Johnston's division if it had been on hand at the proper moment. We have confidence that McClellan has not only plenty of men, but believe he knows how to use them. ters commenced, that did not 91 184)1. ter the Ascension of our Lord, and was distributed to the believing Jews and Greeks in Palestine." The papyrus is much damaged, and tho fragments preserved are not very numerous, but they supply two lost verses, furnish a much purer text thanany other known version, and clear up many passages that have hitherto been doubtful and obscure. The manuscript is written in the Greek uncial character, and in all probability was the identical manuscript that was copied seven times by Hermodorus, during the life of the apostle, and likewise seven times after his death. The copy from which the English version of the Gospel is chiefly derived is the eleventh copy made by Hermodorus, preserved in one ofthe monasteries of the East, and in this several errors have been made in the transscription. The publication of this work is one of the greatest interest to the Christian world, and will probably excite more attention than any similar discovery during tho present century. The Men of the Sea.—It is estimated that there are more than 2,000,000 of men engaged in a sea-faring life; or one out of every 500 of the earth's population is thus enduring the hardships and perils of the sea to supply the remaining 499 with the comforts and luxuries of life, or in defending the rights and honor of the nation which he represents. In English vessels there are 300,000 men. There are 150,000 American seamen engaged in foreign commerce, and nearly the same number are found upon our inland waters. The whale fishery alone employs 20,000, and the navy 7000 to 8000. Nearly one-half of the whole number of seamen are open to the truth as it is conveyed in the English language. Of this large class of our fellow-men it may be truly said, their field is the world. Go where you will, you find the sailor.

Stranger's Friend Society.—The next meeting of the Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society will be held at the residence of Mr. Aldrich, in Fort street, on Thursday, De- cember sth. Our readers will find an interesting letter in our columns, by the French correspondent (G. do F.) of the New York Observer. "Do not fail to subscribe for the Friend,"were thelast words ofa shipmaster's wife to him before sailing upon a three years voyage in the Pacific. A shipmasterrecently repeated the remark, as he called at our office a few days ago. Are there not many more ladies in the United States who would be j;lad to have theirhusbands, or brothers, or sons, subscribe for our monthly sheet ? . Some unknown person has laid upon our table the Eighth Annual Report of the " Young Men's Christian Association of San Francisco." We have read the document with much interest, and rejoice to learn that an association of this description has been in active existenco in that city for eight years past. This Report is accompanied by an interesting Anniversary address by the Rev. W. C. Anderson, D. D., of that city. The address contains the following paragraphs, upon the present war in the United States : War exists. Our peace-loving, happy, prosperous country has dropped the plowshare and has seized the sword. Her commerce is languishing in her harbors; the sound of the loom and the nnvil waxes fainter ; the note of the herdsman scarce is audible ; and in their room we have the " confused noise of the battle of the warrior," and see the garments of our sons and brothers rolled in blood.

They demanded the purchase of Captain's B liuntains the Floridas as an outlet for their peculiar institution, and it was purchased «t the expense of millions of dollars. For the same reason they demanded the annexation of Texas, and it was done at the cost of many millions more. They demanded that the ordinance of 1787 should be set aside, and that the soil which it had solemnly consecrated to freedom forever should be occupied by Missouri as n slave State, and it was done. As some atonement for this almost sacrilege, a new line was drawn between free and slave territory, known as the "Missouri Compromise" line; a few years only had passed beloro they demanded that this compromise should be annulled, and it was done. In a word, the South had but to ask, and the boon, however unreasonable, was granted. It was only when it demanded the concession of the fundamental principle upon which the nation cxi«ts,—namely, that the majority must rule, —that it said no ! And even then it was a reluctant no; for days and weeks it meekly suffered the despoiling of its goods, the invasion of its territory, and treated its rebellious subjects with the forbearance which an over-fond father extends to a spoiledchild ; and it was only when its flag wns trampled under foot, its commissioned servants driven from their posts of duty by shot and shell, and a determination avowed to take the National Capital, that it resisted. I repeat, never was there a Government so kind, so conciliatory, so forbeariug, as has been that of the United States to all citizens, and especially to those who have rebelled against it; and I again declare that by no act of its own has it given cause, or even plausible occasion, for this rebellion. 3. The end proposed to be accomplished by this war is sui generis, literally so; an end such as was never before proposed by any people whatsoever rising up in arms. Tho civil wars of our fatherland had for their avowed end the liberty of the people; such was the wur of the Commonwealth in Cromwell's day; such was the almost bloodless revolution of 1668; liberty was the object of our own revolution; such was the proposed end of all the French revolutions. The people of Continental Europe arose in 1848 to obtain freedom ; so did the brave Hungarians in 1849. The recent successful uprising in Italy was to obtain deliverance from despots, and a distinct nationality. There is something holy in wars like these. Even the groans of the dying are softened and hallowed, yea, the memories of the dead are sainted by the glorious godlike cause. But what is the object of this war of 1861 ? This war in tho heart of free, liberly-loving, Christian America ? What is its avowed end and object ? It is to destroy that constitutional liberty which Washington and the fathers have bequeathed to us. It is to.blot from the page of world history the heart-cherished truth "that all men are created equal, and have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." It is a war based on the abominable assumption that the great theory of self-government is a failure ; and hence the purpose to found on the ruins of our glorious republic an empire whose "corner stone," to use their own words, is •' human slavery." It is a war against free labor and in behalf of slave labor. In a word, it is a war whose end and aim is to forge beyond the power of �93 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1861. breaking, and to rivet forever, the chains of human bondage. Whether, then, we regard it in its origin, its progress, or its aims, we arc forced to pronounce it an unprovoked, unkind, ungodsy war. But this unholy war is now fairly inaugurated, and has received a baptism in the blood of hundreds of the noblest patriots of the land. Its termination by compromise is impossible. The South desires no compromise ; never proposed to receive any. It claims the absolute, unconditional concession of all its demands; and they arc enormous. The Government must surrender all harbors; all the forts; yea, all the territory south of Mason and Dixon's line; it must recognize the Confederate States as an independent nation ; it must permit u monarchy, or an iron military oligarchy, to be planted on that soil of freedom which was bought by the blood of the Revolution. On the part of the United States it is a war for existence ; nothing more; nothing less. Make peace on the ultimatum of the South and the great Republic ceases to have an existence. Under these circumstances the cry of " noncoercion," "peace," is simply the traitor's cry. It is the weapon he uses to defend his friends in places where he cannot use the sword. Such is the present condition of our national affairs. The crisis which is upon us is a fearful one, and may not be shunned even if we desire to do it. As lovers of freedom and of our country, the only course left to us is to adjust ourselves to this new and sad condition of things. mischief und destruction. A military despotism will be inaugurated whenever you permit this rebellion to triumph. « But some cry we are in favor of peace. Yes, we are all for peace now. I was for negotiating a peaco until a fortification was fired upon by a rebel artillery, and then I bade adieu to all expectations of peace until conquered owrrebellions. (Cheers.) I say there is no peace until you can put down rebellion by force of arms. We must stand by the Union. You may make peace with the loyal men of the South, and there is the place to make it. But how will you do it with rebellion? Go with an agreement in one hand and a revolver in the other, and ask the Confederacy to take its choice ? If there is any you can deal with it is the loyal citizens of the South—those that are persecuted for the sake of their Government, those that love their Constitution and are willing to die in its defense—when they are restored to position by conquering rebellion. All should strive together for this good end—men should bare their bosoms in battle, women implore in the name of Heaven that the blessings of the Union should return, and children raise their little hands to curse this rebellion as a ferocious monster that has come hither to torment them before their time, and dim with blood and tears the lustre of their bright star.'j three persons beside our four selves and instruments, all upon the stump of a tree at the same time!

The only thing left for individuals to do is to choose on which side they will stand. We speak with sadness, and the stem-reality of passing events Is yet more sad. For weeks, for months, perhaps for years, this fearful civil war is destined to go on. But if it results at last, as God grant it may, in the full re-establishment of the United States government in its integrity and pristine vigor, the sacrifice will have been well endured, the suffering will not have been in vain.—Loyalty and Religion By Rev. W. C. Eliot, St. Louts. — Who is Jeff. Davis President of Southern Confederacy the Jefferson Davis was born in Kentucky in ISOS, and in infancy was removed with his family to Mississippi. He received a military education at West Point, where he was graduated in 1828, and was appointed brevet second lieutenant. During the seven years that he remained in the army, he served with credit in several Indian wars, but resigned his commissipn in 1835 and turned cotton planter. His first appearance in politics was in the Polk presidential campaign. The next year ho was elected to Congress, but he resigned in 1846 to command a regiment in the Mexican war, where he served with distinction. After his return he was elected to the Senate, and, in the stormy debates which preceded the compromise of 1850, he distinguished himself as the most uncompromising champion of extreme southern claims. He was a forcible debater of a highly intellectual cast of mind, with a subtle pride which perverted his whole moral nature. He was President Pierces Secretary of War, and, despite the superior abilities of Marcy, was the leading spirit of that cabinet. His unscrupulous and domineering nature gave him complete ascendancy over a mediocre man like Pierce and a man of supple principles like Cushing; and Marcy, though he did not approve, was powerless to resist the bold pro-slavery machinations in that really able cabinet. It was then that Jeff. Davis sowed the dragon's teeth from which hosts of armed men nave sprung up. The Kansas imbroglio, which was fomented by that cabinet, was the entering wedge which has cleft the Union. Douglas's repeal of the Missouri Compromise would have worked little practical mischief, had it not been for Jeff. Davis's successful plot in the cabinet to abet the attempts to thrust slavery into Kansas in spite of the will of its inhabitants.—The World.

As we glance our eye backward, we see that many have fallen on our right hand and on our left. Some have been removed by accident, others by their own guilty excesses, and others by the natural course of Divine Providence. With a cheerful heart and hopeful spirit, we look forward to the future. The thoughts of our heart and breathings of our spirit towards our readers and fellow pilgrims upon life's journey are fully expressed in the following lines, copied from a late New York Observer : COURAGE, BROTHER. Courage, brother, do not stumble, Though thy path be dark as night; There's the star to guide the humble : Trust in God, and do the right. Let theroad be long and dreary, And its ending out of sight,— Foot it bravely, strong or weary, Trust in God, and do the right. Trust no forms or guilty passion,— Fiends can look like angels bright; Trust no custom, school, or fashion, Trust in God, and do the right. Some will hate thee, some will love thee, Some will flatter, some will slight. Turn from man, and look above thee: •Trust in God, and do the right. Simple rule, and safest guiding,— Inward peace, and inward light,— Star upon our path abiding,— Trust in God and do the right. — spoken of as among the things that were, and 1862 opens with the " Hoku Loa," or "Morning Star," a Protestant Religious Monthly, and a similar monthly issued from the Catholic Mission. Besides these, two rather ambitious weeklies are in the field, viz : * Ka Hoku oka Pakipika," or " Star of the Pacific," and "Ka Nupepa Kuokoa," or The Independent." The former is is" trom the " Polynesian," office, and the sued latter is published by Mr. H. M. Whitney, who seems determined that the Hawaiians shall have a weekly every way worthy of being called a " Newspaper." The number for January Ist, is printed upon excellent paper, and executed in a style to reflect the highest credit upon the employees of the Advertiser Office." We sincerely con"gratulate the Hawaiians upon the rare treat which this paper will afford them each week during the ensuing year. Fast Riding and Fast Driving.—The time has come, when the severest penalties of the law should bo visited upon the Jehus who dash through our narrow and frequented streets, utterly regardless of the lives of the people. Almost daily some child or woman is run over. In the shipping season, if a reckless sailor, by dint of spurs and whip, urges his horse into a gallop, he is hurried off to the Police Station House, while some of our citizens drive at a most furious rate through our streets, and the police stand off at a most respectful distance, or are out of sight.

The Government of the United States makes no provision for the relief and support of its citizens when sick and distressed, unless they are attached to some American vessel, or can exhibit an. honorable discharge. Seamen are, in this respect, a highly favored and highly privileged class of American citizens. Not only does the flng protect and relieve those sailing under it, if they are free born, or naturalized citizens, but if they have merely enlisted on board an American vessel, in a foreign land, although they may never have stepped upon American soil, unless the deck of an American vessel, may be regarded as American soil. This is right; this is as it should be; otherwise great injustice would be done to seamen of foreign countries, who/ire engaged in the mercantile marine and whaling service of the United States. For example, suppose a whaleship takes a Feejeean, or Chinaman, or Tahitisn, or Chilean, from his home—-the not that man sickens or is at Hospital U. S. man be taken into the Honolulu, if the ship visits this port ? Any other interpretation of our laws would be contrary to their spirit and in violation of the paternal policy of the D. S. Government towards those sailing under its flag. We desire to call the attention of our seafaring readers to the foregoing facts. They are taken care of and provided for, while Americans who are not sailors are allowed to shirk for themselves. We have met many of our fellow citizens, who have felt their lot was rather hard that they could not receive relief and protection from the U. S. Consul �THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1862. 2 while seamen were thus favored. Such, however, are our laws. In return for this protection and guardianship, seamen on board vessels of war, merchant shipsand coasting vessels, pay into the Treasury of the United States twenty cents per month. The only tax upon whalemen is the sum of $36, or three months extrawages, to be paid by the ship when the seaman is discharged before his term of service expires. Unless the seamun goes to the Hospital, two-thirds of the three months' wages, or $324, are refunded to him, (and not to the ship,) if he re-ships for a home-port. In our columns will be found the names of a large number of persons, who have forfeited the " $24," because they did not return to the United States. We were furnished this list by Col. Parker, the late U. S. Consul. If this money should never be called for, it should, of course, fall into the Treasury of the United Slates. The following item from a late Washington paper, shows that one U. S. Consul has turned robber, and thief: Mr. Parsons, the successor to Consul Scott at Rio Janeiro, writes that be found the consulate robbed of everything of value. Scott hod even robbed the sailors' relief fund." " There have been rumors of similar transactions, connected with the Honolulu consulate, but we hope a new order of proceedings has been initiated. The Government of the United States is exceedingly liberal in its provisions for the relief of seamen, it is then highly culpable in any officer who perverts its legitimate funds. It is made the solemn duty of U. S. Consuls and Consular Agents to .look after American seamen. We quote the following, from A Manual for Consuls," " published under the authority of the U. S. Government: " One essential object of the Consular appointment is .the protection of American Mariners—s class of our fellow citizens whose habits of life require a kind guardianship of their persons and interests in foreign countries, but at the same time a striot vigilance over their conduct. The law makes it the duty of American Consular oflioera to provide, at the public expense, for all mariners and seamen of the United States merchant marine, who may be found destitute within their respective districts. It is no bar to their relief that they have been left abandoned by the wreck of their vessel, or otherwise, on a foreign shore. They are still ' Mariners and Seamen of the United States,' and the circumstances of their destitution, entitles them to air the benefits and protection provided by the fourth section of the act of February 28, 1808. They are within toe words of the act, and they are within all the reasons of humanity and policy whioh actuated its provisions." These instructions exhibit the policy of the government towards seamen sailing under *' the Stars and Stripes." It is highly gratifying .that when the government calls for seamen to lend their aid for the support and maintenance of the government, they are prompt and patriotic, ready apd willing. More than 1900. whalemen have shipped from New fled ford,and,are now in the blockaiding fleet off the Southern coast. Scores of officers turned traitors but common sen* men, to a man, stood by the United States flag on board vessels of the Navy. When one noble fellow was ordered to haul down the flag by Commodore Armstrong, at the Pensacola Navy Yard, he refused, saying that he would tw.il it up, but never haul it down. If the flag protects the sailor, it is cheering to know that the sailor is ready to stand up and protect the flag, when rebels would haul it down, and traitors would trample it in the dust. April Ist, 1862. By provisions of the act an annual tax is laid on incomes derived from all sources other than that subject to direct tax, as follows: On yearly incomes of residents of over eight hundred dollars 8 per cent. On yearly incomes of non-residents of over eight hundred dollars 6 per cent. Tax on Carriages.—The tax on carriages resting on springs and not used exclusively for the transportation of merchandise, together with harness used therewith, is in proportion with value, as follows : Not exceeding $60 Rendezvous for Whalers.—The Mercantile Ga- If above 9 60 and not exceeding $ 100 M «' 8 200 $ 100 zette baa reliable information that the fleet of whalers in the northern seas—forty-six sail—will make this •' 9 200 9 400 «• 9 400 $ 600 port their rendezvous the coming season.—S.

In doing so, the city authorities should bear in mind that they nre in duty bound to make suitable provision for sick and disabled seamen, discharged from whaleships. As the matter stands, at present, a sick whaleman is turned into the streets, if he is discharged in San Francisco, or sent to the poor house. Only a few days since, a whaleman was discharged sick at San Francisco. He applied to the Marine Hospital, but was told he could not be admitted, because whalemen did not pay the 20 cents a month, the same as coasters and merchant seamen in the foreign trade. He was advised to come to Honolulu, but on his arrival here, the hospital in Honolulu was closed to him, because he came as a citizen passenger, and not as a sailor ! This was right, for as we have elsewhere shown, U. S.

King George III, when walking out one morning, met a lad at the stable door, and asked him, " Well, boy, what do you do ? what do they pay you?" " I help in the stable," replied the lad; but I have nothing except victuals and clothes." "Be content," replied the king, I have no more." All that the richest possess beyond food, raiment, and habitation, they have but the keeping, for the disposing, not the present enjoyment of, A ploughboy who thinks and feels correctly, has enough to make him contented ; nnd if a king have a discontented spirit, he find some plea for indulging it.

The hardy sailor, while combatting the storms and pestilence of every sea on the globe, is ever contributing to this fund—this self-providing hospital fund, of which the Government is but the custodian, and the President the dispenser. " War Tax. The people of the United States will no longer be able to boast of their freedom from taxes for the support of the General Government. Hitherto the revenue from the tariff and sale of lands, has paid all the expenses ofthe Government. Sometimes there has been a surplus in the Treasury. Those days arc gone, as many be learned from the following statement: The Income Tax.—We subjoin a copy of the income taxes and duties imposed by the last Congress. The act comes into effect on " where the worshippers implore the Almighty bless and preserve Thy servant George, our most gracious king"and governor," these words appear to have been struck out, and the three following written with his own hand, "An untoorthy sinner." Emigration to the Pacific.—The civil war is giving a most remarkable and unexpected stimulus to the overland emigration to California and Oregon. The plains are swarming with caravans of emigrants from Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky, all destined for the Pacific coast. Should the war last for a couple of years it would doubtless lead to very important transfers of population. The actual seat of war, as well as all the border states likely to be affected by the conflict, would suffer severely in the emigration ofits quiet and industrious families, who would remove to more peaceful settlements in the West and North. The Pacific coast will undoubtedly gain largely, as its industry is not affected, and it offers better inducements to the thrifty and enterprising than any other section of the country. to �LIST OF SEAMEN Discharged at this Consulate previous to January 1,1860, .1 MAHXS Or ■""""• SUMS! ~ I' , .

Ocean Currents.—A. W. Caldwell, Esq., U. S. Consul at this port, bonded us a letter from Dr. K. W. Wood, of Kauai, which contains the following interesting memorandum: Ship White Swallow, Copt. Kltery, bound from Ban Fran- " cisco to Hongkong. This bottle was thrown overboard on the 21st July, 1801,In Utltude 21 ° 30 North, Longitude ISI 66 West, by passenger Chas. n. Rocxwsll. of New York." "Whoever may find this bottle, will please send thispaper to the Nary Bureau at Washington, D. C. with a memorandum stating when and where tt was picked up. Or will give It to some Captain or Consul, who will forwardIt as above directed, in order to discover the driftof the ocean currents." Dr. Wood states that it was picked up on the ° " island of Niihau about the 23d August, ana adds the following: Lat. of Niihau is 21 60 North. 160° 16 West. Long. Making a drift nearly due west of 460 miles in about 88 days. Ily relerring to our memoranda, we And that the W. S. arrived on the 23d July, and the bottle was thrown overboard two days before her arrival. If the memorandum isoorreot, and the bottle actually drifted 460 miles in 88 days, it shows the existence of a very powerful current about the islands —about 14 miles per diem.—Adv. " " ° Severe Earthquake.—A heavy earthquake oc. ourred on Thursday Deo. 6, at 11 minutes before 12 M. | Two distinct shocks were felt, and so severe were they, that every body experienced them, whether walking, standing or silting. In several instances it threw persons quite from their balance ; and more probably experienced sensations of astonishment or fright Nearly every house was shaken. In some coses so strongly as to cause the inmates to leave the building. At Punahou College, the plaster of the oeiling was shaken down, and tbe pupils ran out of doors. The same scene, so far as the stampede was concerned, occurred at the courthouse, where a suit was in progress in Chambers. The quake was accompanied by a noise resembling that of a dray driven over the roof, or tbe rolling of casks over bead. The shock was felt at Lahaina, and was so severe, that ink was spilled out of an inkstand on a table. We cannot learn that it was noticed at Ifilo or any where on Hawaii. —It is very seldom that earthquakes have been felt on this island, though they are of frequent occurrence on Hawaii. The cause is probably that Onhu is more remote from the seat of activity of Twice, however, the voloanio fires beneath as. during the last twenty years, this island has been visited by tidal waves, which are probably attributable to volcanic disturbance.—Adv. Another Earthquake.—On Sunday evening Deo. 22, at about 21 minutes past seven o'clock, another severe shock was felt all over this island (Oahu.) It consisted of ten or twelve very regular vibrations from East to West, and "was felt equally plain by those sitting or walking. It was aooompanied by a noise more distant than that which accompanied the shook of tbe 6th. Some persons felt an eleetrio sensation in the knees. In tbe harbor the effect of tbe quake was most noticeable. Some persons standing at the harbor-master's office, observed the fishes suddenly flying on the surface toward Ike tea. While the water disturbed by the fish, appearod like a sheet of Tbe schoonors lying by the wharves phosphorus. were also set to rocking. These earthquakes are something new to Honolulu, and the query suggested by our Maui correspondent below is not inappropriate—" Are we going under? "—Adv.

This war is assuming an auspicious shape. It was not to hare been reasonably expected that the people of the loyal States, most of whom were unaccustomed to the use of arms, and who were taken by surprise, could on the instant rise and crush out a rebellion which had long been premeditated and carefully prepared by men who, l»)wjM| criminal, had, it must be confess* ed, expernßand ability. Jeff. Davis and his associates in* treason had, through a serious of years, occupied high positions under the Government and held actual control of public affairs. During all that time their power and influence were wielded to prepare the Southern States for therebellion. The people of the South were encouragod to exercise themselves in military discipline, and arms and munitions of war were furnished them in abundance from the nationul arsenals. Thus when the time arrived for the hoisting of the standard of revolution, Davis, Beauregard and the other leaders of the revolt found themselves at the head of armies already disciplined and furnished with every necessary of war. We say, the loyal States were taken by surprise; they had so long listened to thegasconade of politicians that they regarded the threats of the Secessionists with incredulous ears; and it was.only when they heard the thunderof the guns from Fort Sumpter they realised the actual situation of the country. The spectacle which followed was grand to an extreme, and every way worthy a great and free people. The merchant left his ledger, the farmer his plough, the mechanic bis tools, the lawyer his briefs, and even the minister his pulpit, to commence an education in a new profession—to learn the art of war. It is no exaggeration to say that fivesixths of the volunteers scarcely knew the difference between a minierifle and a flint lock musket, so far as such knowledge might be useful on the field. But, brought up in habits of industry, trained to adapt themselves to contingent circumstances, and gifted with quick intellectual powers of discernment which men accustomed to business pursuits only can acquire, the people of the great North, East and West proved themselves equal to the emergoncy. They were as rapid to learn the duties of a soldier, as they had been slow to believe in the existence of a rebellion. Still, after they acquired the theory, they had still to confront the enemy and acquire the It was natural, practice of theirnew profession. under the circumstances, that a few blunders should occur, and we had the Bull Run, Springfield, Lexington and other disasters to lament. But again the people of the loyal States triumphed, and there is now at the disposition of the government as vigorously disciplined and well appointed an army as has been assembled any time within the century. Every day its strength and efficiency are being increased. Unworthy and incompetent officers are driven from command and soldiers of experience commissioned in theirstood. Three months ago, it wits the boast of the rebels that their forces had been trained from boyhood up to the use of arms, and that it was folly to suppose that tradesmen and "greasy mechanics" could successfully meet them in hattie ; but we imagine they at length are beginning to discover the great truth that labor elevates and strengthens manhood. As we before said, the war is assuming an auspicious shape. The rebels have exhuustod thoir resources ; thoy can bring no more soldiers Into the field. On the other hand, the U. S. Government has not developed a tithe of its strength, and yet our armies largely outnumber those of the enemy. And while we hear of dissensions among the leaders at the South, the feeling of cordiality between President Lincoln and our Generals grows stronger every hour. In short, the loyal States have risen superior to all adverse ciroumstances, and are gaining strength every hour, while the rebel government is in the last extremity for men and means to save it from per dition.—S.

Selected. 1 — From the Sailors' Magazine. I A Night Among the Icebergs. morning of Sunday, April 18th, IS4I, Walkin the deck, before breakfast, I fancied I detected the chill of ice in the atmosphere. The captain, who met me there, smiled at the apprehension. Our noble steamer, the, Greaf Western, vigorously pursued her course, and the deep sea slightly agitated, and strongly colored, was intensely beautiful. We had divine worship in the saloon, and the dead lights which had been in for a week were removed. The officers, passengers, and all the sailors who could be spared, came in their clean bright costume, to hear an impressive sermon from the Rev. Dr. Wayland, President of Brown University, on the text " Now, we see through a glass darkly, but then, face to face." After the interesting service, and a cheerful supper, we came on deck, to enjoy a glorious sunset. While we were gazing with delight, a huge, black mass loomed up, just in the track of molten gold left by the departing orb. Turning to me, the captain said, "I fear you were but too true a prophet. There is an enormous iceberg." It presented an irregular outline, towering up into crags and pinnacles, and resembling the hulks of several men-of-war lashed together. The captain, after viewing it with his glass, pronounced it three-quarters of a mile in length, and its more prominent points more than one hundred feet high; therefore its entire altinot be less than four hundred feetfas only one-third of one of these arctic mountains rises above the surface. Three le serene, but cold for the season. n ■ n ir n ■ a JJANUARY, 1862. A others of smaller dimensions slowly appeared in its wake, like a fleet following their admiral, and in their fearful companionship we prepared to pass the night. We were then in North Latitude 43 ° , and in Longitude 48° 90. We literally shivered with cold from the approach of this embassy from the frigid zone; the thermometer suddenly sank below the.freezing point, leaving the temperature of the atmosphere 28 °, and that of the water 25 ° On this appalling scene, the stars looked down with their calm, pure eyes. But all at once, a magnificent aurora borealis burst forth, and went streaming up the concave. While over our heads flashed and dazzled this arch of scintillating flame, the phosphorescence of our watery path became intensely brilliant. We seemed to be at the same time in a realm of fire and of frost, our fleshly natures surrounded with contradictions, the elements themselves bewildered and conflicting. And there were these terrible arctic kings dashing and drifting around us in mighty majesty, while we, like the tribes in .the desert, pursued our way between the pillar of cloud and the pillar of flame. At nine o'clock, from the watch stationed at the different posts of observation, burst out cries of Ice ahead !"—" Ice larboard!" " —" Ice leeward !" and we found ourselves environed with field-ice. To turn was impossible. By the bending paddles a path was laboriously cut, through which we were propelled stern foremost, not without peril, changing our course due south, in the teeth of a driving blast. When once more in an open sea, the captain, not concealing our danger, advised us to retire. This we did soon after midnight, if not to sleep, yet to seek that rest which might help to gird us for future trials. At three, we were aroused by harsh grating, and, occasionally, thumping, causing the strongest timbers of the ship to tremble. This was from floating masses of ice, by which after having skirted a region of fieldice, fifty miles in extent, we were suvounded. Some of these were comparatively small, others of more formidable size. Our commander, who had not left his post of vigilance during the night, reported more than three hundred visible to the naked eye. Their general aspect was vitreous, or of a silvery whiteness, except when a sunbeam penetrated the mist; then they radiated with every hue in the rainbow, striking out into turrets, and columns, minarets and arches, like solid pearl or diamond, till we were transfixed with wonder at the terrible beauty of the architecture of the northern deep. Our path lay through frowning hosts, and amid ambushes, yet by the Divine blessing and nautical skill, we were eventually delivered from our paralyzing and pitiless foes. The engine of the Great Western, like a living, intelligent thing, had done the bidding of its chief. " Half a stroke," and its tumultuousaction was controlled. " A quarter of a stroke," and its breath seemed suspended. "Stand stills' and our vast hulk lay motionless on the writers, till two or three of tbe frozen squadron had drifted by. Let " her go," and with the velocity of lightning we darted by another detachment of tbe enemy. Had we been less skilfully steered, or subject to the domination of winds instead . of steam, beleagured as we were in that rough sea, we must inevitably have been dashed in pieces. Before noontide of April 19th (the anniversary of the battle of Lexington,) it pleased God to deliver us from our great danger Afterwards, when the slightest sail appearet commando upon the horizon, our caused two guns to be fired speak attcn tion; and then by flags and signals warnec them to avoid the perilous region from whence we had been set free. Two tiny barks came struggling through the surge, to hold more intimate converse with the mighty steamship, herself not unscathed from the recent conflict, yet willingly dispensing her dearbought wisdom. There was a degree of sublimity in this proffered counsel and gift of sympathy between the strong experienced voyager, and the more fragile travelers of ocean's trackless waste. It seemedlike some white haired Mentor, way-worn on time's pilgrimage, teaching the newly-girded " not to be high-minded—but fear." Drawing near the " haven where we would be," we felt how warmly this companionship in danger had endeared us to each other. The courtesies of friendly intercourse had prepared the heart; and gathered, as the passengers were, from different states and climes, that fraternal feeling deepened, when we approached the land, which was born when we stood together on the verge of eternity. Hereafter, when we recall each others' images, will return the memories of that terrific scene, which we now account it a privilege to have witnessed, and the thrill of unspeakable gratitude to an Almighty Preserver. He led us on our way,— He, through that path of horror was our guide, Sparing us breath to tell oar friends at home A tale of those destroyers, wbo so oft With one strong buffet of their frosty hands Have plung'd the loftiest ship beneath the surge, Nor left a voice to syllable her fate. Oh Thou who sprcad'st us not on Ocean's floor A sleeping bed unconsecrate with prayer. But brought us to our blessed homes again, And to the burial-places of our sires, Praise to Thine holy name ! L. H. SiaoinuiiY. Hartford, Conn., September 10th. 1861. Old Woman and the Sailor.—A worthy old woman was one day walking along the street with a bowl in her hand. A jovial sailor, rendered mischievous by liquor, came bearing down, and when opposite theold woman, saucily pushed her aside, and with a pass knocked the bowl out of her hand. He then halted to hear her fret and to enjoy a laugh at her expense. But what was his astonishment when she meekly picked up the pieces of her broken bowl, without the least resentment in her manner; then, giving him a dignified look of mingled sorrow, kindness, and pity, said : "God forgive you, my son, as I do." It touched a tender cord in the heart of the rude tar. He felt ashamed, condemned and repentant. The tear started in his eye; he must make reparation. He heartily confessed his error, and thrusting both his hands into his full pockets of change, he forced all their contents upon her, exclaiming: " God bless you, kind mother, I'll never do so again." �JLD-rERTISEIWEWTS.

FEBRUARY 1, 1862. Late News from America. A few months ago, the true American, abroad in a foreign land, felt no pleasure in hearing from home. The citadel of Liberty had been attacked. Traitors were among the officers of the President's Cabinet. Spies gloried in their infamous trade. The Army, small and scattered, was demoralized. The Navy could not be trusted. It really seemed as if I-cha-bod—the glory is departed—was to be written beneath every inscription to which " U. S." was attached. Then came the astounding news of the defeat at Bull's Run, where, it appears, both Secesh and Yankee ran, but the Yankee outran his southern opponent, and carried off the palm of a defeat. The tables have turned. The American abroad now holds up his head. He has a country. He is not ashamed to acknowledge himself American. The late mails brought intelligence that cheers and animates the patriot's heart. The President's message is hopeful and sound. The Cabinet is united. Congress is alive. Senators and Representatives speak like men who had a work to do, and would do it. The Army and Navy are .strong, and growing stronger. The Hatteras affair is eclipsed by the Beaufort victory, still more brilliant and glorious. The capture of Mason and Slidell capped the climax, and makes a good theme for newspaper talk. It was to be expected that the government and people of England would remonstrate loudly, if they did nothing more ; but, after all, there is net an Englishman, at home or abroad, who will " " 9 | Aft Series, M. )fl- Remarks and Opinions Respecting the Sandwich Islands.

J. Jarves, Esq., in historian of the Sandwich Islands, and of Mrs. Bichards, relict of the Bev. W. Richards. Among the departed recorded in this number of the Friend will bo found a notice of the death of Mrs. Hunt, wife of the Bev. T. D. Hunt, of Watemlle, N. Y. These were three ladies who once lived and moved in the society of the Sandwich Islands, and their influence was felt, f bey were highly educated and refined. Though long years have passed since they left our shores, yet all the foreign residents of the islands, previous to '49, will remember them, and only with fond recollection of their genuine worth. To the credit of the Hawaiian Government, it has paid an annuity to Mrs. Bichards of $800 per annum ever since the death of her husband, in 1847. It was the lot of Mrs. Hunt to have passed through a variety of experience in her journey to tb« grave. We remember her as a companion of her husband at Kau, on Hawaii, Lahainaluna, Maui, and in Honolulu. We met her again in California in '49 and '50, and wo subsequently have heard of her in the States. She was one of the "excellent women" whose record is on high, and whose memory is precious to her friends. The Sandwich Island*. Owhyee rises majestically, in grand unbroken lines, from the waves, and forms, in an enormous mass, three different mountainsummits, on two of which the snow lies several months in the year. We both times visited the Sandwich Islands in tbe autumn, and never saw any snow on the heights of Owhyee. (In November, 1816, and in September, 1817.) Mouna Roa, the great mountain, La Men, (the Table of the Spaniards,*) rises in a bold curve southwards, in the interior of the island, and towers above the others, which unite with it. Mouna Kaah, the little mountain, the • Qwhyeeand the SandwichIslands, U Meae. or La Mini, ami Loa Hongea, ofthe old Spanish charts, (San Francisco, of Anson's chart; might perhaps likewise be Owhyee,) most hare bean frequently seen by the galleons on the forage from Acapulco to Manilla. It is to beobserved that M. Mariahas .ot beenable to disoorer, in the popular traditionsof Owhyee, an; reminiscence of a former Intercourse with JCuropeani. �10 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 18* Z- next to the Mouna Ron, with its ragged cliffs, pean is occupied the north. The third, Mouna Wororay, a volcanic peak, lies on the western coast. There is a drawing of the crater in Vancouver's atlas. On its naked declivities shin* streams of lava, the last of which it poured into the sea by a lateral eruption in the J*ar 1801. The" village of Powarua is built on the shore upon this scorious lava. The Mouna Puoray, which forms the northwest point of the island, joins, as an inferior hill, to the basis of Mouna Kaah. The heigiwf of Owhyee generally appear quite distinct during the night, and in the morning; the vapour falls on them at noon : the clouds which they produce repose in the evening in dense masses over the island, and dissolve towards midnight. Where we approached Owhyee, doubling the north-west point, and sailing along the west coast to the southern foot of Wororay, near Titatua, the declivities appear bare and sun-burnt. Some parts are used for tillage, the most are covered with scanty grass. Amidst clouds, the region of the forests begins, and the eye scarcely reaches the naked crowns of this gigantic mountain. The strand presents to the view an uninterrupted row of settlements, which as you approach further to the south, arc surrounded with more luxuriant verdure, and more frequently relieved by cocoa-palms. Of the volcanic chain of mountains of the Sandwich islands, only Wororay on Owhyee seems still active. Hot springs are in the territory of Kochala, near the habitation of Mr. Young, on the coast south of Puoray. The chain runs from the north-west point of Owhyee over the islands ofMowee, Morotoi, and Woahoo, to west north-west. The most eastern mountain on Mowee is but little inferior in height to Wororay, and is similar in the grandeur of its form. The more western is lower, and its summit appears to be rent in two different clefts from north to south. The grand lines of the mountain descend on Morotoi still lower, even to the flat western point of this island. The mountain rises again in Woahoo, where, with an entirely different form, it scarcely reaches a quarter of the height of Owhyee. Two dissimilar groups of mountains rise in the island of Woahoo. The eastern and lower one has a greater extent than the western, which contains the higher summits. The chain, deeply indented by well-watered and beautifully verdant vallies, shoots up ragged summits in broken lines. The woods descend lower than in Owhyee, upon their declivities, to the sun-burnt plains, which mostly surround these islands, and were once coral reefs covered by the sea; and such reefs extend far into the sea from these plains. A break in the twef, at the month of a stream produced water collected in the mountains, forms, n the southern foot ofthe eastern mass of tountains, the secure harbour of Hana-rura. ■om which place we made our excursions in ifferent directions through both parts of the inland. The nearest low hill behind Hana-rura is an old volcanic crater, now closed, and which, like the external declivity, is thickly overgrown with grass. A similar, but higher and larger crater, which forms a promontory, washed by the sea, bounds the prospect to the east. Pretended diamonds, which an Euro- (y . SBBI m said to have found in these parts, gave occasion to the taboo, which has been imposed upon this mountain. We were shown as such common quartz crystals. The mountain-chain rises behind these naked front hills, covered with a lovely verdure in irregular steps to its highest ridge, which runs along the northern coast. Valleys and defiles lead to the passes which intersect each other between the summits. The valley of Nuuanu, behind Hana-rura, is the most extensive and pleasant of all. Beyond, towards the north or north-east, the mountain presents a steep declivity, which cannot be ascended, except barefooted, by giddy paths and rocky ascents. Low hills, covered with sun-burnt savannahs. unite the two mountain masses of the islands. To the south of these hills, the inlet of the sea, called by the English the Pearl .River, winds with numerous branches up to their foot, through an extensive plain, which is a coral reef abandoned by the sea, the surface of which is raised about ten feet above the level of the ocean. This frith appears to afford the finest harbour; it is, however, said that a bank obstructs the entrance of ships. It receives streams only from the eastern mountains. The ridge of the western higher mountains is turned to the interior of the island, and pours its waters into the valleys, which it embraces in the west, with several arms. The passes between the summits are high and steep, and only to be ascended by dangerous paths. The luxuriance of the vegetation, which, at the height of about three hundred toises, to which we ascended, appears unchanged, mostly conceals from the eye of the geologer the object of his search, and the kind of rock is scarcely to be seen. On both sides of the island we observed only argillaceous porphyry and amygdaloid ; black patches, which we noticed from the sea on the eastern declivity and foot of the great old crater, seemed to us to be a lava. The clouds collect round tbye summits of the mountains, and rain frequently falls in the interior of the island, while a scorching sun burns up the strand. The temperature visibly changes as soon as you enter the mountain-valleys from the exterior plains. We already possessed three measurements of the height of Mouna Koa, differing very much from each other, after King, Marchand, and Homer. The more exact measurement of M. Yon Kotzebue determines it within six toises of the second above-mentioned; and bis trigonometrical labours on the other summits of the Sandwich islands, present an interesting series. The short time which was allowed us on both visits, only permitted us to look with regret on the mountain ol Owhyee, which appeared to us worth the object of a voyage on purpose to the Sandwich islands. We were even obliged to renounce the examination of them though on the spot To ascend Mouna Koa from Titatua requires a journey of at least two weeks (compare Vancouver,) and at Titatua and Powarua at the very foot of Wororay, the summit of which we could hope to ascend in a short time, there stillremained the journey to the ship at Hana-rura, in a double canoe of the natives, which was not to be depend~SWSBBBBBBBBBBBBsI Ed on, as you can have no command at all over such a boat: the navigation is impeded by frequent taboos, and the passage from Owhyee over to Mowee, and from Morotoi to W oahoo might be long delayed and pre- vented by the wind. What Archibald Men- zies, the learned companion of Vancouver, has collected in plants on different excursions to the heights of Owhyee and Mowee, lies still buried with so many other treasures in the Herbarium of Banks; and though the venerable Nestor of natural philosophy has opened his zophylacium to the naturalist, and to all learned men, with the same unequalled hospitality, no one has yet undertaken to make us acquainted with the Alpine Flora of Owhyee. The Flora of Owhyee has nothing" in common with the nearest continent of the coast of California. The leafless form of the Acacia, the species' of Metrosidros, Pandarvus, Santalum. Aleurites, Dracaena, Amotnum, Curcuma, Tacca, impress the stamp of its origin and natural relationship. Predominant are the families of Rubiaceama, Contortas, and Vrtkte, of the latter of which several species, growing wild, are used to prepare different kinds of bast-stuff.* Several arborescent, milky Lobeliacem are distinguished. The exterior boundary of the island produces but very few kinds of grass and shrubs. In the interior the Flora is rich, without, however, being comparable with the luxuriant abundance of the Brazillian soil. Only low trees descend to the valley; among them the Aleurites triloba, with its whitish foliage, forms conspicuous thickets round the skirts and on the declivities of the mountains. You find here and there, in the high mountain defiles, wonderful banana groves, the trunks of which, crowded close together, cause a gloomy night, with their broad, extended foliage. This plant, which, cultivated on the strand, reaches scarcely a height of five feet, attains in these places thrice that height. The acacia, out of the trunk of which the large canoes of the natives are hollowed, attains only in the mountains the height necessary for this purpose ; you find here and there the sanders-tree, the wood of which so highly valued in China, bestows riches on the rulers of these islands, while the oppressed.people, who are obliged to collect it, are impoverished, as they are taken away from their agriculture and arts. The. taro-root (Arum esculentum,) beaten to a pap, after it has been boiled, constitutes the chief food of the people. Woahoo is the most fertile of the Sandwich Islands, from which Owhyee receives a part of the taro necessary for its consumption. The cultivation of the valleys behind Hana-rura is remarkable. Artificial ponds support, even on the mountains, the taro plantations, which are at the same time fish-ponds; and all kinds of useful plants are cultivated on the intervening dams. Many imported plants are now cultivated close to the originally Dative, but the people who are attached to their ancient mode of life, make use of only a few of them. Among these the tobacco must be chiefly mentioned, the use of which all the nations ofthe earth have been ready to adopt. The water-melon, the melon, and •The paper-mulberry (Broumanetiapapj/rtftra.)

Besides the pernicious kava, fermented liquors are prepared from the tea-root, (Dracaena terminalis;) but the sugar-cane is not yet employed for this purpose. To the diligence of M. Marin, as a farmer, the Sandwich Islands in general, nnd Wohhoo, his present residence, in particular, lie under great obligations. He has assiduously introduced and multiplied our various kinds of animals and plants. He has near Hana-rura numerous herds ofcattle. (Goats seem to be more generally spread.) He possesses horses, and will increase the breed of asses and mules, which are more useful in these mountains. Many foreign trees and plants are reared in his plantations. Several which he has introduced, are already found everywhere growing wild; for example, the Portulacca deracea, (only two other species of the same kind belong to the native Flora.) He hns lately had rice grown from Chinese seeds, after many fruitless attempts. He has planted vineyards of considerable extent, and the grapes flourish very well, but he is yet unskilled in the art of making wine. We have frequently had occasion to remark, during the course of our voyages, that the art of using the productions already existing, is a more urgent want than the introduction of new ones, and embrace this opportunity of giving a useful hint to beneficent travellers. There are only wanting a few books of instructions. The only original wild quadrupeds of the Sandwich Islands are a small bat and the rat. To these is added our common mouse; besides the flea, some species of blatta, and other noxious parasites. The oxen are now grown wild in the interior of Owhyee, where the Kinp; sometimes has them killed for his table. We observed among the land-birds the Nectarina cocinea, whose highly-valued feathers form a part of the tribute. The sea is rich in fish, many kinds of which are adorned with colours of extraordinary splendour. They are numbered among the favorite dishes of the inhabitants who breed them in the taro plantations, and in fish-ponds which are formed by places walled in on the and still piously revere bis memory. Trade followed the traces of Cook to the north-west coast of America; and the Sandwich Islands, which afforded all kinds of refreshments to the navigators sailing thither, thus received the importance which their discoverer as cribed to them. With Vancouver we are at home with them. A great man with whom, while yet a youth, we were made acquainted by Cook, seized the reins of power at Owhyee, and strove for the sole government of the whole group. Tamaahmaah assured himself of the protection of Great Britain, by freely and voluntarily doing homage to King George, in the hands of his friend Vancouver. Later travellers, down to Lisanskoy, who were informed by the Europeans settled on the Sandwich Islands, extend our knowledge of them, and acquaint us with the sequel of the history. Our rapacious adventurers diligently promote war, to keep up the price of arms, which they gave in payment. Tamaahmaah accomplished the conquest of all the islands, and the King of Atooi, (the group lying apart in the west,) hastened to submit voluntarily to him whom he could not resist. He was, it is true, misled into rebellion, under the standard of the Russian American Company, but he immediately atoned for his fault, and did homage anew to his sovereign, (1817.) Tamaahmaah, favoured by the situation of his kingdom, and the sanders-wood, which it produces, has collected immense riches. He buys, with ready money, arms and ships; builds himself smaller vessels, which when he spares the copper-sheathing, are drawn on shore, and preserved under sheds at Titatua, Karakakooa, and on other places on the island of Owhyee. He sends out his ships manned half by Europeans, and half by natives ; and tries (in which he has not yet succeeded,) to procure admission for his flag into Canton. He chooses with great judgment such Europeans as offer him their services, and to those whom he employs, he is very liberal in lands and salary; he is nobleminded, and, with the instruction he receives from foreigners, remains still faithful to the spirit of his people, and to the customs of his ancestors.

No foreigner, though there are so many among the most powerful chiefs, and vassals of the kingdom, can make any claim to. govern the natives. Nothwithstanding these approaching political changes, the Sandwich Islands will remain what they are—the free port and staple of all the navigators of these seas. But should any foreign power conceive the foolish idea of taking possession of them, the jealous vigilance of the Americans, who possess the almost exclusive commerce of these seas, and the secure protection of England, would not be wanting to frustrate the undertaking. The conquest might indeed be effected. The fort in the background of the harbour of Hana-rura, which Mr. Young has erected without judgment, is merely a square of dry brick wall, without bastions or towers, and without ditches; and does not answer the double intention of the Governor, to defend himself against an external attack, and an internal enemy. The fort ought to be regularly built where it now stands, and there ought to be a battery on the external edge of the reef, to defend the entrance of the harbour. Notwithstanding their stock of ammunition and arms, the natives are not yet acquainted with the management of artillery, or with our military art A serious invasion might appear to be decisive; but the conquerors would only have conquered the earth for their grave. This people will not submit to strangers; and it is too powerful, numerous, and martial, to be quickly extirpated, like the natives of the Mariana Islands. This is the political situation of the Sandwich Islands. What is affirmed in the Missionary Register of 1818, p. 52, that a son of Tamori, King of Atooi, who is at present educated in the school of the foreign missions in Cornwall, (Connecticut, North America,) with other Owhyeeans, is the real heir of all the Sandwich Islands, betrays inconceivable ignorance. No missionaries had yet come to the Sandwich Islands; and, in truth, they could promise themselves but little fruit among this sensual people. Christianity cannot be established in Eastern Polynesia, but on the overthrow of every thing existing. We do not doubt the events at Otaheite, but, at the same time, we cannot conceive them; and M. Marin, who had previously visited these islands, told us, what is very clear, that the natives, for the most part, only visited the missionaries to have the pleasure of mimicking their customs. We are indebted to the contributions of William Mariner, and to the laudable diligence of Dr. John Martin, for the most valuable addition to the knowledge of Polynesia, in the satisfactory " Account of the Natives of the Tonga Islands, London," 1818. This important work was not published at the time of our voyage ; and therefore the want of a similar work on the Owhyeeans ; the desire thoroughly to study the traditions and the history, the common and religious language; the religion and customs, the so- I s.s..K^^H^H.IIIIIIHHH!

's ship-yard, has invented a very useful tool, consisting of a small auger, about half-inch size, with a toggle joint, which allows its use for snip-carpentering and other work in many places where a common auger would be of no service. The entire auger is 18 inches in length, the joint being about the middle. In the repairs on the ship Petronila this instrument has proved very serviceable, and we see no reason why it may not become a valuable invention. Mr. Crockett intends to takeout a patent for it here, and we would recommend the same being done for the United States and England, for it is a tool that would come into general use. It certainly is a credit to oar mechanics when such tools can be not only invented, but manufactured in Hono- — lulu.—Adv. Rice.—We are much pleased to notice the arrival, of several oz-cart loads of the first crop of Hawaiian Rice, raised by Prinoe Lot and Dr. Ford, at Moanalua. This first harvesting will be at least 10 tonsbesides which there are a hundred or two acres now growing, not yet ready to harvest. From all parts of these islands, we hear of preparations made for planting riot, both by natives and foreigners, and the prospect is that the yield will be even larger than anticipated. From all we can learn, it is a very certain crop, cultivated with the simplest labor and the commonest tools, suoh as the natives have long been accustomed to in cultivating their taro. The prospects for rioe are oertainly encouraging— lb. -, * The Passage or the Comet.—From the letter of our Ban Francisco correspondent, we learn that the passage of the Comet from this port was ten days, 19 hours and 40 minutes, whioh is one of the shortest on record. By the following, from the Herald, it appears that the Commodore's passengers tendered him a banquet in San Francisco Testimonial—Capt. Paty.of the bark Comet, was honored by the passengers on his late remarkable trip (a little over.ten days) from the Sandwich Islands to this port, with an elegant banquet at Martin's on Saturday evening last. Several Russian and French officers were present, and the occasion was one of muoh good feeling.—/*.

England's National Debt.—The foundation of the immense debt of England was laid in the reign of Charles II., two hundred years ago. In 1763, it had risen to £139,000,000. At the close of the French Revolution in 1802, it was £671,000,000. In the twelve years of the wars of Napoleon it increased to £865,000,000, which wasvits maximum. From this point it rapidly decreased for thirty years, having been reduced in 1845 to £768,789,241. At the close of the Russian war in 1856, it had increased to £800,000,000; and in consequence of the Indian mutiny, the Chinese war, and the distrust of France, can hardly have diminished since. The interest on the present debt at the rate of 3J per cent, is $134,400,000 per year, or $368,000 a day, $15,333 an hour, $255 a minute, or $4 24 a second.

Woman's Position in the Foreign Missionary Enterprise: An Address delivered Monday, Feb. 11th, at the Funeral of Mrs. Sarah W. W. Doane, Wife of the Rev. T. E. Doane, Missionaries of the American Board, at the Marshall Islands. BY REV. S. C. DAMON. IPublishecl by Request.] We are gathered this afternoon, to bury the remains of one who left her country, home and friends, in obedience to the command, " Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Some advocates of foreign missions have expressed the opinion that this command was binding upon man, but not upon woman. Those holding this opinion have argued, and argued eloquently, that the Christian minister should go forth to earth's remotest bounds, visiting every continent and island inhabited by a descendant of Adam, but he should go alone, " and unaccompanied by a wife. They have urged that the missionary should be unencumbered and unembarrassed with a family or any of those ties which bind other men to a home and family.

She reached the island of Ponape or Ascension, before she was twenty years old. She and her husband remained a few months at Ronokiti, the Rev. Mr. Sturges' station, and then removed to the north side of the island, into the Jekoit tribe. There they remained for eighteen months, and if there is to be found a field of trial and difficulty, in all this ocean, I believe it is in the part of the island of Ascension where they located. There they prosecuted the study of the language and other missionary work, until removed by vote of the mission, to Ebon, one of the Marshall Islands, to be associated with the Rev. Dr. Pierson and wife, in the establishment of a new mission, but in a most difficult and -untried field of labor. Any one acquainted with the Marshall Islanders, knows that there is not a more proud, intractable, haughty and blood-thirsty tribe in this vast Pacific. They were the terror of the wrecked mariner—most emphatically a piratical race, not giving or asking " quarter." Among this people our departed missionary sister spent her missionary life, or four years, gone to Africa, to India, and to China. She from 1857 to 1861.

It was her lot to have entered the experienced when some of those haughty and overbearing chiefs came to mingle their sympathies, and spread a new mat over the little one's remains. On our arrival, in the Morning Star, it was our intention to have cruised several weeks among the islands of the Ralick group, but the delicate state of Mrs. Doane's health and that of her child, led us to sail, as soon as the annual supplies of the mission were landed. On our departure, Mrs. Doane and children embarked as passengers for Honolulu, but it was decided that the interest of the mission absolutely demanded that Mr. Doane should remain and prosecute his missionary work. This was a great trial. He came off and saw his family on board. The following sketch I copy from No. XXI. of " Morning Star papers:" " Never shall we forget that parting scene. This hymn was sung : does, of should remind something in the BiMe; her whole life should be altogether a New Testament life." When this elevated and common-sense view of the missionary work is carried out, then woman takes her rightful, proper, noble and all-important position in the advancement of the jrand missionary enterprise. It is a most animating thought, that this • view of woman's position has become thoroughly embodied in the modern theory of Protestant missions. It is undoubtedly, the true gospel method. There has not been found any very difficult or insuperable obstacle in the way of its accomplishment. Abstractly speaking, some have argued, that woman would be inadequate to the task— the undertaking would be too hazardous for her frail nature ; but the very opposite result has been found true in practice. I am not aware as she has ever been found wanting, or shrunk back when called to either the North or the South, to the East or the West. She has found her way to Greenland and other foreign climes. She has cheerfully • " How vain is all beneath the skies ! How transient every earthly bliss ! How slender all the fondest lies.

Though passing through a vale of tears." " The Key. Mr. Doane offered a prayer in the Ebon language, and it was followed by a prayer in English. We saw a number of the native Christians, or 'lovers of Jesus,' pass around to the state-room window and bid Mrs. Doane forewell, with many tears. It would have subdued the stoutest soul to have witnessed the missionary part with his wife and children, and then step into his boat and steer lor his lonely home ! There may be a romance about the missionary life, when viewed from the shores of Christian England and America, but all romance is dissipated and it puts on a stern reality when the real experience comes. As we stood upon the quarter deck of the Morning Star, conversing with the Rev. Mr. Doane, and taking a last look at the shores of Ebon, we said, It is hard for you to part with your family, and go there to labor alone.' His only reply was, ' 1 could not, if I did not feel that Jesus was my companion.' Surely it was no unmeaning language of our Savior, with you alway, even unto the ' Lo,of1 am world.' end the While this scene was passing, the sailors were heaving at the anchor, and the sails were loosening. We were soon off and bound for Strong's Island, but with the glass, we watched that little boat, rising and falling with the swell, until it was lost in the distance. When that happy family will be again united, is known only to the Master, in whose cause they ' Eicious ■ labor." But the Divine Master has decided that the happy family shall not be united again on earth. He has called the wife away from her husband, and the mother from her children. 0 how fervently she prayed that she might once more see her husband, if it should be the Lord's will. She, however, could and did say, "Thy will be done." Daring that fearful night of the 23d of July, when we all expected to have found a watery grave, she uttered the same sentiment. Not that she was indifferent to life, for she was tenacious of life. She clung to her children and to her husband. Her active mind was �19 THE FRIEND, MARCH,IBI2. to her field of labor. I was a horribly cruel murder, and what commenced laughing she would have returned Often have I heard her remark, that she never regretted having come upon a mission to Micronesia. Her missionary life had been happy, although oftentimes exceedingly trying. It is a gratifying circumstance that during all her distressing sickness upon shipboard and in Honolulu, she has enjoyed the constant attention of a faithful Ebonite Christian female—a woman who has been elevated from the lowest depths of heathenism by her labors and example ! Under all these circumstances, I do not wonder that she clung to life, or wished to live many days, if it should be God's will. She was in the very prime of woman-hood. Life looked bright before her. Her heart was in her work and in the education ofher children, hence it was seemingly hard for her to be sick—to be thus early in life laid aside. While it was thus trying for her to bid adieu to the scenes of this world, yet when the Master called, she was ready. Up to nearly the last moment, her faculties were clear and bright. Death had no terrors. At length, when " The angel of the covenant Was come, and faithful to bis promise, stood Prepared to walk with herthrough desth'sdark vale," she leaned upon his arm and passed quietly over the Jordanof death. Her last moments were peculiarly serene and happy. Who doubts for one momerlt that she now is among the blood-washed throng, singing the praises of God and the Lamb, and experiencing the sentiment of those lines we have so often heard her sing: we've been there ten thousand years, " When Bright shining, as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise. Than when we first begun." Martyrs of Erromanga. ■is a most remarkable fact, that another ler of English Missionaries should have occurred near the very spot where Messrs. Williams and Harris were murdered in 1839. An account of the recent massacre at Erromanga, has already been published in the English and American newspapers, but the following narrative we publish, because written by an eye witness. We are not personally acquainted with the writer, but from a letter which now lies before us, we infer that he is connected with a Sydney trading vessel, which chanced to be at the Bay when the sad event occurred. This writer refers in the letter which he has addresed to us, to the massacre of the Captain and crew of the American whale ship Superior, at the Solomon Islands, which occurred in the autumn of 1860. 811, the writer, dates his commu- Dillon's Bay, Erromanga, June 12th, 1861. ;ond murder took place on this ishe 20th of last month, it was that of the Rev. Mr. Gordon and wile, who have been missionanes here for the last three years. He was a very good and kind man by the account of all that knew him intimately, and greatly beloved by the few whom he had trained over on the side of religion. It made it more affecting was, on account of ils being so near the place, where the lamented John Williams and Mr. Harris fell, and close to the spot where the former was cooked. The only account we can get for doing the foul deed is, that they believed he brought sickness here, (they have threatened the missionary on Tanna, and burnt the churches in Anaham, on account of the same thing, the measles, brought from Port dc France, New Caledonia, and raging violently here for some time, as well as amongst other islands of the group, having been brought by natives returning from Port dc France home.) However, it was an excuse for them, but it was an inordinate desire for eating human flesh, and a great love of murder, possessed by none so much as this island and Tanna, which are only eighteen miles apart, but speaking quite different languages, and not understanding each other. The way of the murder was this: Mr. Gordon had his house on the top of a hill, about 1000 feet above the level of the sea, in quite an unprotected place, even his churchgoing members did not live nearer than a mile, with the exception of one or two—they lived at the foot of the hill in the exact spot where John Williams was killed, and where Mr. Gordon had erected his first chapel and printing office. This spot he had left, on account of its unhealthiness, and removed on the hill. He had now determined to remove further down, half way between the former and present residence, on account of the severe hurricanes in the winter months. He was at this time building a new house and church in the intermediate spot. About a 100 yards from his house there is a small thicket, through which the road runs; the two places may be about half, or allowing for the sinuosities of the road, three-fourths of a mile apart, and a very steep road it is. Mr. Gordon, on Monday the 20th of May, was at the lower or new house, busy at work, having sent all his natives but the little boys to gather grass to roof the house. A party of natives, eleven in number, came to the upper residence, and finding Mr. Gordon not there, nine of them placed themselves in ambush in the end of the thicket nearest the hou?e ; two of them went down to him and asked him for some calico and some medicine for a sick man ; he took a piece of charcoal nnd wrote on a board to his wife: " Give these men a yard of calico each," and told them that would do ; then they said that their chief Lova, or Lauvaa, was in the house and wished to see him. He replied, have not eaten my dinner yet; let me " I and eat then I'll go"—Mrs. Gordon having sent a plate of yam and fowl down to him. However, without waiting to eat, he said, '■Come alone I can eat in the house." They said, " Go on, we'll follow." He immediately set off, followed at some distance by the two natives. Just as he was emerging from the thicket, he received a blow on spine; he fell with his face forwards, uttering a scream. He then received a blow under his right ear, with a tomakawk, almost severing his head from his body; another severe cut in the left side of the neck; three wounds on his right arm, and several other wounds. On hearing the scream, Mrs. Gordon ran nut. and the natives, to drown it. and shouting. Two of them by this time had left the wood. Mrs. Gordon asked what the noise was about. They said, nothing. She then asked where the rest of the natives were. One of them ( said he did not know; at the same time one was creeping gently up behind her, with his tomahawk concealed. When near enough, he struck her also in the spine, then gave her the last, but useless, cut in the left side of the neck, severing everything. Immedidiately the alarm was given, I and Mr. Milne, and Capt. Edwards, of Port dcFrance, armed ourselves and natives, and went in pursuit. We were too late to secure the murderers, but secured the bodies from being taken off and eaten, and the house from being plundered and burnt. The bodies were a most ghastly sight to look on. We carried them down to where he first landed, and John Williams was killed, and there, with tears and lamentations, laid them side by side, and the greatest mourner was the very chief Pauvaa, who killed John Williams. The missionaries have erected a very nice tomb, and fenced it in. We and they arc daily threatened, but we keepagood look-out. Trusting I have not been to prolix, I hope you will forgive the scribble, as I am not altogether well. Anything else about the group, 1 will be better able to let you know again.

We are also glad to find therein your account of your visit to Micronesia, and regret that while you were visiting our southern neighbors, that you could not also have given us a call, especially as the storms of the sea seemed so much to urge you toward our storm-girt shores. We are glad to hear that the brethren at the south are prospered in their labors, and that they do not hava the laws against them as we do in Japan. I see you believe that the people of some of those islands -are partially, at least, of Japanese origin, and that perhaps their languages are somewhat similar. I have aA several times compared lists of word.*, which 1 have seen published, of thelanguage of these our southern neighbors, and I have never yet found one similar to a Japanese word. But that the matter may be more fairly tested, I send you a copy of, " Medhjlrst's Vocabulary," in which the Japanese words are given in English letters, and after, in the native dress. This, if you please, you may send to some of the missionariesof those islands, supposed to be somewhat similar to the Japanese. The books and tracts which you so kindly sent, have, I hope, been doing good service among the sailors.

The Calendar of Cambridge, presents a comprehensive viewof the history and present condition of that venerable institution, the origin of which dates far back in the annals of England. The University of Cambridge, is the union of seventeen colleges. St. Peter's College was founded in 1257, which is the oldest, while Downing was founded in 1800, which is the youngest. In 1860 there were 1,496 undergraduates in these several colleges. The University Library, contains 170,000 volumes. This University may justly be ranked among the proudest monuments of England's greatness. The late Prince Albert was Chancellor of this University, at the lime of his death. He had held the office since 1847. No wonder the hundreds and thousands of its graduate), look back with fond pride to their University, rich in funds, buildings, grounds, and all the means, facilities and appliances for obtaining a finished education.

It Was highly gratifying to our American feelings, to find two of our poets furnishing passages of their writings for the students of Cambridge to test their Greek and Latin scholarship. Bryant and Whittier, are the poets to which reference is made. From the writings of the former, a passage is selected for the student to translate into " Greek the students. In these institutions centre Trimeter lambics." The passage is from the ripest scholarship and the best methods Bryant's Forest Hymn, commencing thus of study.

Our present U. S. Consul, Mr. Caldwell, C. C. Harris, Esq. and J. W. Austin', Esq., are graduates of Cambridge. A Catalogue, of Vale College, for 1861-2, exhibits unmistakeable proofs of great prosperity in that excellent institution, dating back to the year 1700. Its Library then contained only " 40 volumes," given by a lew clergymen, who said, " These books we give for the founding of a College in Connecticut," but now its Library has increased to 69,500 volumes. There are 462 undergraduates and 137 pursuing a professional course, lienco 5'J'J students are now connected with this flourishing institution. During the last century, the celebrated Bishop Berkloy was a distinguished patron of Vale College.

We have long cherished the fond hopo, that some rich millionaire would endow a professorship at Oahu College, and invite Prof. Lyman to occupy the chair ! ! A Catalogue of Williams College, for 1861-2, reports '212 undergraduates. This institution was founded in 1798,and after struggling against sundry adverse influences, has now attained a highly respectable standing among American Colleges. It is presided over by one of the ablest of American Divines, the Rev. Dr. Hopkins, who is assisted by an efficient corps of Professors and tutors. This institution enjoys the honor of having graduated those young men who led off in the Foreign Missionary enterprise. There Mills, Richards and others formed their plans for going abroad as Missionaries to the heathen. Some of our prominent men upon the islands, graduated at Williams, and among them we will mention Chief Justice Allen, President Mills, Rev. E. Corwin and Rev L. Smith. Several young men Irom the islands, have lately graduated from this institution, while we notice but one among the undergraduates from the islands Senior. Samuel C. Armstrong, A glance tit a Catalogue of Amherst College, calls up many pleasant recollections, for it was within the walls of that flourishing institution, that we pitssed lour years, from 1882-1836. Thia Collego was fouuded, iv 1820, and has already taken an enviable position among the sisterhood of American Colleges. It is pleasantly located in the delightful valley of tho Connecticut, and is surrounded by a most picturesque amphitheatre of hills and mountains. Uo the opposite bank of this river stands Northampton, and in the intervening valley lies the quiet valley of Hadley, while to the right Sugar-loaf Mountain, and to the left Mount Holyoke, stand ns sentinels guarding the inhabitants of that most beautiful spot in all New England. This institution has always enjoyed the efficient servioes of an able Faoulty, and talented body of Professors and tutors. Professor Hitchcock, the veteran American Geologist, of world-wide fame, still holds th« Professorship of other professorNatural Theology and Geology. The ships are tilled by gentlemen of ripe scholarship and emineut scientific attainments. The present number of undergraduates is 242. It was during the period of our connection with this institution, that there names: : II ( . some students who have sinoe become known to fame. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Pastor of the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, the Rev. Dr. Storrs. were another Pastor of Brooklyn, and the Rev. Dr. Rookwell still another Pastor of that "City of Churches," were our fellow students at Amherst. The Rev. Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, and successor of the Rev. Dr. Scott, was our classmate. The former divine cume out with a Secession sermon about one year ago, which was extensively circulated and reviewed His talents and throughout the United States. ability are of the highest order. A late visitor to the United States, after hearing various preachers, in different parts of the country, remarked that the Rev. Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, was his modelpreacher. It has been announced that be received a call to become the successor of the Rev. Dr. Alexander, in New York oily. We cannot but express our regret that our old friend and fellow classmate should now find himself in the ranks of the Secessionists. We could mention several other persons, who were quietly pursuing their Collegiate studies, only a few years ago, at Amherst, but who now have become men of distinction, among them the Rev. Dr. Huntington, late Preacher to the University of Cambridge, and the Rev. Dr Hitchcock, Professor of Ecclesiastical History, in Union Theological Seminary" at New York city. We do well remember as a student, the celebrated Prof. Fowler, S( Phrenological notoriety. Other American Colleges maypossess advantages equal to those of Amherst, we are confident however but very few are superior. There, the student is happily removed from the vicious and dissipating influences and associations of a large city, and happily surrounded by the most healthful and invigorating influences of refined literary society. The religious influences of the region are of the old Puritan stamp. There, in the heart of old Massachusetts, may be witnessed the genuine fruit of that seed of whioh it bat been said, that God sifted three kingdoms, to obtain seed wherewith to plant the hills and valleys of New England.

Damon : Dear Sir—You published in the last number of the Friend a portion of the " Notes on the Sandwich Islands," by A. Yon Chamisso. It may interest his adopted countrymen, at lenst, to read the following well written Yours, truly, episode in his life. * The Poet and his Bride. A TRUE TALK OF A PURE LOVE. Among the children who played in the magnificent grounds of the stately Chateau dc Boncourt, there was one unlike the rest in mental traits, as also in the possession of a rich and tender fancy, through which, young as he was, he viewed the external world. Everything around him was calculated not only to nourish this, but also to implant and cherish that esprit dc corps which characterized the old nobility of France, more, perhaps, than that of any other country. His family had been pre-eminently loyal, had enjoyed uninterrupted wealth, a succession of honors, and had intermarried with various reigning houses. Thickly around were strewn the carefully preserved souvenirs of countless gallant achievements, of events which had become history, of superb festivals, and princely weddings. Over these the boy sometimes brooded, and there was one which particularly attracted his eye —a sword, bestowed with the rank of captain upon his grand-father, at the age of fifteen, lor u service which proved his right to that advancement. But a new plant or a ' roving insect gave him greater pleasure than the stained and moth-eaten banners which drooped idly in the chapel, or the chains, the helmets, and the linked mail which shone proudly in the great hall, or hung, covered with dust, in the armory. The flittinrr of a bird's wing, the chime of the vesper bells faintly heard in the twilight, the conflict of clouds borne on opposing winds, the gleam of the lightning, had for the little Adalbe yon Chamisso a fascination as irresistible a it was singular. The Revolution broke rudely upon h dreams, and his family, reduced to a poi but one removed from poverty, succeeded crossing the frontier. Attached as they were to station and privilege, the glitter of orde and the array of titles, necessity compellef them to seek for him some better dependene than an empty name, and he entered as pupil the painting department of the roya porcelain manufactory of Berlin, At fifteet he was placed among the Queen of Prussia pages; a change which aided to give h opinions that soundness and depth for whic they were, later in life, distinguished. > seventeen, after a prolonged inward struggle reluctantly, and haunted by gloomy fore bodings, he entered the Prussian army, am in three years recelVed a lieutenancy. No withstanding his enthusiasm, his gallantry and his restless activity, the career of arm was not that for which he was beat fitted and its early termination, through no fault o his own, was not to be regretted, save fo the mortification which he endured on ths account. During this period, he had no been idle. He had been a careful student arid had done much towards mastering the �22 THE FRIEND, MARCH, lit 2. language in which he was to win an honest and enduring fame. He had fallen in love, also, with the pretty and fascinating widow, Madame Ceres Duvernay, and manfully proposed for her hand, saying to himself, " Lore needs so little." Luckily. Madame knew better. Did it * not need satins and laces, a new jewel now and then, a floor in town, a cottage in the country, saddle-horses and servants ? Certainly—so she kissed her hand to the handsome, large-natured youth whose soul was in his soft, expressive eye*, and left him to his books, and to the group offriends whose affection soon enabled him to forget his transient passion. La Motte Fouque, Neumann, Dc la Foye, and Hitzig were among them, and not one but retained a place in his heart through every alternation of good and evil fortune. They started a poetic annual called " The Green Book," which was greatly admired, and through the medium of which Freiligrath ultimately became known to the public. Weary, because purposeless, years followed, yet they could not have been altogether wasted. Closely allied both by birth and education to the higher orders, Chamisso yet approved that vast social change which had brought to him only misfortunes; looking below the surface to its primal principle, forgiving its first wild excesses, never swayed by selfishness on the one hand, never betrayed into fanaticism on the other, as warmly cherishing the memory of the past, hopeful for the future, whose promise was at best fitful and often clouded, he was gradually developing into one of the noblest specimens of a man, a subject, and a citizen. Early exiled from France and transferred in boyhood to Germany, he belonged to neither country. the soil; there, the men, are foreign "toHere, me," he said. He joined his family in their country to which they had returned, but he was not content, and returned to Berlin. In Hitzig's house he came nearer to repose. Thoroughly generous, that accomplished writer occasionally adopted the orphan child of a friend, and so was always surrounded by a blooming band growing into estimable womanhood amidst healthful home training and influence. To them, as to their elders, Chamisso was a welcome guest. Numberless were the drafts which he made for them upon his exhaustless imagination. Grotesque tales worthy the soil of Iran, wild legends, witty caricatures, charming allegories, exquisite moral stories, interspersed with snatches of song, and little poems worthy of the "Green Book," followed each other, often in quick succession. Curious pantomimes sometimes filling up the evening, in which his execution was admirable. Among the children who crowded about him, was one. Antonie Piaste, who, more frequently than the others, found a place upon his knee, and upon whose intelligent countenance his gaze rested with peculiar pleasure. Shy at first, she learned to creep closer and closer to him. Nothing was wanting to the visit if his fingers might toy with her silken hair, or fold over the small hand which impulsively sought their clasp.

But when the occasion came, she saw only the traveler and poet, and she grew timid; so There was silence for some minutes after that the bond so delightful to both seemed he had finished; the younger members of indeed broken.

Chamisso was appointed curator of the Botanic Garden, and May 7, 1819, wrote thus : You know my bride Antonie Piaste, the handsomest and dearest of those maidens whom, as Hoffman says, Hitzig keeps about him to kiss his hand and call him papa—the one whom Loest betrothed to me, as a child, in 1807—now I fetch her home. I have chosen with my understanding, and taken hold of the chosen object with my heart. * * If you come back soon to Berlin, I hope that you will find me in a little house that stands close by the Botanic Garden, (I am the director's assistant, with a salary of six hundred dollars, and have selected that little house for my official residence,) busily and pleasantly occupied with my flowers, and with a helpmate like them. But if any old friend returns here twenty years hence, then I hope to God he may find me just as ever, engaged with my flowers and my helpmate, only there shall sit by our side a blooming girl that shall repeat faithfully and unaltered her for I should mother's present image, * be loth to forego the pure satisfaction with which my artistic eye rests on my Antonie's fprm." In 1825, Chamisso was called to Paris to receive 100,000 francs from the Commissioners of the Indemnity Fund. He was feted and caressed, but wrote to his wife, " Don't forget the roses don't forget the children's letters; don't forget to strew food for sparrows on my window. I shall return to you the same as I left you; let me find everything again just as it was." His poetical reputation increased until he became a decided favorite with the public. Honors were also conferred upon him as a naturalist, which he enjoyed in his own guileless, conscientious way. In 1837, his wife died, ond he survived her only fifteen months. His last lines were written for the benefit of a washerwoman, and produced one hundred and fifty dollars. A thoroughly earnest, active, truthful man, Chamisso wins the affection of his readers so quietly that one does not know he is knocking at his heart until he has already entered. * * * " * • „ . ; CHARTS FOR SALE.

Eoiroa: Dear Sir—l am very glad jo hear from the lalanda that an effort Is being mads to encourage the cultivationof cotton as ;uj artlele of export, and I have no doubt but that the effort will be successful If persevere- In. I have been amused at theremarks of some of the verdant writers who speaker the first eottoai seed having been carried to the Islands between twenty and thirty years ago. Samples of cotton, of native production, were sent to China by Kamehameha Ist, forty-five yearsago, and other samples were sent by Kamehameha 2d, about the year 1828, (38 years ago,) the seed having been extracted hy hand. These samples were there pronounced l>y competent judges, a very excellent article, very fine and of a long staple, and have been compared to the American Sea Island. Theold seed may be Improved ly cultivation, and become as good as ever it was In former days ; hut to improve the quality, and for the benefit of all Interested, Mr. Charles Breuer has now on the way out, In his bark Arctic, a barrel of the best seed that could be procured, and at a great expense. The great facilitiesfur raising cotton on our aouthern virgin ■oil, with slave labor, and aided by the cotton gin, our King l.'otton" haa had almost a monopoly. He grew rich, fiailiili, and finally ran mad, and set about his own destruction. The tint shot fired against the walls of Fort Sumpter, amused not only a rival but a nation to arms against King Cotton, and the world aa his rivals, and they are cultivating cotton in all parts of the world,and In no pert can a better art icle be produced than at the Hawaiian Islands. Having had a personal knowledge ofyour soil, and climate, and the goodness of the article raised there, as soon as our troubles here began, I commenced writing about It, and knowing the importance or the CiiMort Gin, In clearing it from the seed, I sent out one In the Raduga, which arrived out safe ; but I have not heard on, word about the Glo,but by advice I have sent out two more llins In the bark Arctic. They are such as I thought best adapted to the commencement of the cultivation, and shall be glad te hear that the crops require the greater article to clean it from Its seed. I have also sent the printed description of tbeni to Messrs. C. Brewer tr Co., aod beg leave to send a set of printed circulars and description of the din to you, winch please cause to be placed where they will tie useful to the cultivator of cotton.

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. I rejoice that the state of your concerns, external as well at internal, no longer renders the pursuit of inclination incompatible with the sentiment of doty or propriety i and "» rapursuaded, whatever partiality may tained for my services, that, in the present. bei �26 THE FRIEND, APRIL, 1812. of our country, you will not to you with the more freedom, as you can only see in them the disinterested warnings disapprove ray determination to retire.

Turning partly into its own channels felicity as a people. These will be affoided the seamen of the North, it finds its particu. circumstances rrsonal lar navigation invigorated; and while it contributes, in different ways, to nourish and increase the general mass of the national navigation, it look* forward to the protection of a maritime strength to which itself is unequally adapted. 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.

MAY 1, I«6S. Mr. Pease's Catalogue. Wo publish in our columns to-day, one of tho most important documents ever compiled in regard to the history of the Sandwich Islands. This Catalogue, together with its Appendix, will comprise a miniature history of the Islands— multuminparvo. It was prepared by the compiler at our special request. We knew lis extensive research in Hawaiian literature, science and history, and felt anxious that he should make thatresearch valuable to the public. We hope this is but the first step iv a series of publications relating to the Islands. The private library of Mr. Pease contains a fur more extensive collection of books and manuscripts upon Hawaiian history than any other library in the world. We hope that the Legislature now in session, will take the requisite steps to secure this inval uable collection of books as tho foundation of a national library. He has already expended many hundredsofdollars on thecollection and is stilladding thereto. Should any of our readers have books in their possession, illustrative of the Islands but not specified in this catalogue, they will confer a favor by communicating with Mr. Pease or theEditor. In future numbers of the Friend we shall publish an appendix to this oata-1 ogue, including a more extended notice of th« several scientific and surveying expeditions that have; visited our Islands. A Better Time coming in America. We copy the following paragraph! from a private letter, written by the ReT. J. Spaulding. late Secretary of the American Seaman's Friend Society of New York. He writes under date of Feb. 28th. After referring to various battles, and the condition of theoountry, he conclude] at follow* :— <Last Friday Capt. Gordon, the slave-pirate was bang in this city ; and you may expect to hoar that righteous laws have been vindicated, • 33 and society protected by raoro exhibitions of this kind. So faraswecan forecast the issues of these troubles we regard the following as certain a purer and stronger patriotism, and a more consolidated government than ever before ; more selfrespect and a greater respect for free institutions abroad ; a healcher mode of conducting business; better men placed in offices of trust and responsibility ; no more extension of slavery in U. S. Territory; no moro protection ofthe slave trade under the U. S. Flag; no moro bluster and bludgeon in the interest of slavery on thefloor of Congress ; no more union ofany political party of the north with southern prtisans to uphold any institution at war with human freedom ; no more decent apologies for the system of slavery by decent men, but on the contrary a desire and determination to put an ond to the abomination just as fast as it can be done, and promote the highest interests of all concerned ; and finally no mows msbilmon under a government of righteous laws, justly administered. So much seems certain ; and worth all the cost, except the blood which the guiltyrebels haveofshed. the President Lincoln and other chief officers and esthe confidence have growing government, teem of the people. Men of all parties and of none, rejoice that we have a Government ably and wisely administered. Some men and some papers grumble; it is their nature, and as they cannot possibly live without a little exercise of tl.at kind, we let them eiercise their precious gifts, as we allow our neighbor's quadrupeds to use their vocal organs." : RTishnegTProUsmponeF c'cstlef amily. In estimating the momentous changes which tho rebellion is producing in the United States, 4here is no one more encouraging and hopeful than that relating to the treatment of the|African race. So far as the colored man was concerned the policy of the government has hitherto been oppressive, beoause the Government has been controlled by Southern politicians and statesmen. With the inauguration of President Lincoln the tables have changed. We would mention the fol. lowing among the favorable signs :—Abolitionof slavery in the District of Columbia-S-Seoretary Seward has granted a passport to a colored man to visitEngland— contrabands are reoeivedand employed as laborers within the military lines—lndications that Hay ti will ere long be acknowledged —last but not least, the execution.'.in the) city of New York, Feb. 21, of the notorious slave-dealer and pirate, Gordon. Unless we are mistaken this is the first execution of a slave-dealer! The English have captured hundreds bat we do not remember to have heard of an execution under the decision of an English Judge for the crims. {(Die Series, M 19. Noble Language. Not a few English Statesmen and politicians have openly avowed their sympathy with a Republio whose corner-stone was to be negro slavery, but honest John Bright the Quaker, is not to be found among the number. His voioe rings out in olear, strong, vigorous and liberty-loving tones. We are glad to know in Rochdsls, among his fellow townsmen, thers'were found those in whose bosoms was found a fall-toned echo to bis noble sentiments: A distinguished member of the House of Commons distinguished there by bis eloquence, distinguished more by hit many writings—l mean Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton—be did not exactly express a hope, but be ventured on something like a prediction, that the time would oome when there would be, I don't know how many, but as many Republics or States in America as you can count upon your Angers. There cannot be a meaner motive than this that I am speaking of, in forming a judgment on this question—that it is "better tor us ;" for whom I the people of England, or the Government of England?—that the United States should be severed, and that that continent should beat the continent of Europe is, in many states, and subject to all the contentions and disasters which has accompanied the history of the states of Europe. [Applause.] I should say that if a man had a great heart within him he would look forward to the day when, from that point of land which It habitable nearest to the Pole, to the shores or the Great Gulf, the whole of that vast continent might become one great Federation of States—that, without a great army and without a great navy, not mixing itself up with the entanglements of European politics—without a custom boose inside through the whole length and breadth of its territory, but with Freedom everywhere, equality everywhere, law everywhere, pesos everywhere—woo Id afford at last some hope thatman is not forsaken of Heaven, and the future of our race might be better than the past. [Pro longed cheering] • * * Whether the Union will be restored or not, or the South will achieve an unhonoredIndependence or sot, I know not, and I predict not. Bat this I think I know—that in a fsw years, the twenty millions of free men in the North will be thirty millions, or tvsn afty millions—a population equal to or exoeeding that of this kingdom. [Hear, hear] When that time comes, I pray that it may not be said among them, that in the darkest hoar of thsir country's trials, England, the land of their fathers, looked on with ley coldness, and saw unmoved the perils and the calamities of her ohilJren. [Cheers] As for me, I have bat this to say,—l am one in this acdienoe, and bat one in the eititen-sbip of this country ; bat if all other tongues are silent, mine shall speak for that policy whioh gives hope to thebondsmen of the and tends to generous thoughts, and generous words, and generous deeds, between the two great nations thai r that speak the English language, and who, origin are alike entitled to the English ■esse.

We take great pleasure in laying before our reaaers the following graphic sketch of the great naval battle between the Monitor and' Merrimac. It has never before been published, having been written by an eyewitness, and communicated in a letter to a kind friend, who has furnished it at our solicitation. It was not intended for publication. We are confident our readers will peruse this letter with much interest. It is an event of the civil war in America, which seems destined to revolutionize all the navies of the world—place all the nations of earth upon a common level. All must now begin, build anew their navies. As it has been forcibly remarked, "The Monitor, in one to day, battered down the navies of the globe." They lay at the mercy of her guns. This shows the conquering power of a new idea. It is, after all, true, that mind rules the world. An idea of Ericsson—the native of Sweden, and the adopted son of America—now " rules the sea," and is " Mistress ofthe ocean" : I Cams. Bailler—Newßaaaav News. oItJP house, with a chimney in the center. We all knew in tin instant what it was, and the cry the Merrimac is coming" paused through the whole cnuip. A very foruiidahle appearance she presented to us, and we knew we had got some fighting to do to gel rid of her. As soon as she got within range of the guns of the frigate Congress, that frigate opened on her, as well as the battery here; but the Merrimac took no notice of the shot, although they were falling like hail, and kept steadily on till abreast of the Congress, when she opened her ports and poured a broadside into her, with terrible effect. The Congress then returned the broadside directly down on the Merrimac, but with still no visible effect, and the shot only rattled down like so many marbles. The Merrimac then kept on for the Cumberland, which lay a short distance from the Congress; it was now a perfect thunder of cannon, for the Congress, Cumberland, and our battery, were raining solid shot on the Merrimac roof of a naval engagesuppose you have beard men-of-war t, off this place, and the iron-clad steamer Merrimac, but as some of the accounts in the papers were not exactly as it happened, 1 will just give you an eye-witnessdescription ofit. It commenced about 1 o'clock on Saturday, the Bth March. 1 had just sat down to write when the loug roll beat, and the men all rushed to arms. I went down to my gun on the battery to see the cause of the alarm. I did not have to look long, for down the river, towards Norfolk, 1 saw three rebel gun-boats coming up; in advance of these was something that looked like a " —still she kept on for the Cumberland, running presently into her starboard bow, and at the same time firing a broadside into ber, which made an awful slaughter. One ball from the Merrimac killed sixteen men at one gun. The Cumberland immediately returned a broadside of 120-lb. solid shot, the Merrimac being close to the muzzles of the guns; it only had the effect of dismounting the only gun they had in sight, and cutting away two of her flag-staffs. The Cumberland now began to settle slowly, but still kept firing. The commander of the Merrimac now asked the commander of the Cumberland if he No, never," said that galwould surrender. lant commander, but still kept on firing. As she began to go down faster, the commander was again asked if he was ready to surrender. " No," said be, " I Till go down with my colon flying" —and so he did. Until the water was knee-deep on the gun-deck, the Cumberland kept up her firing, and finally sunk, carrying over a hundred brave and loyal men to a watery grave. It was a terrible sight to us to see this noble vessel disappearing from our sight; not a sound was heard on shore as she made her final plunge in theriver she bad so faithfully guarded—even tbe cannon ceased their thunder for a few minuted, and the " stillness of death was here.", Just before the poor Cumberland went down, the Congress slipped her cables and ran ashore on the point about half a mile below here. Both of our vessels being now oat of tbe way, three more gun-boats came down the river from Richmond. The Merrimac next commenced to shell our camp, but being so near, she did not do much harm, her shot passing over us. She then ran down to where tbe Congress was ashore, and was joined by tbe other six rebel gun-boats. Tbe Congress fired a few shots in return, and then hoisting the white flan;, surrendered. One of the gun-boats came up to take the crew " 41 {(©ln SeritPari. 19- prisoners, but were kept off by the boys on shoie, who fired with their rifles—so the Rebels only succeeded in taking a very few. The Merrimac, and all the gun-boats, commenced shelling the camp, the shot and shell whistling over us and crashing among the trees of the forest, and occasionally smashing our tents and exploding near us; but the night soon came on, the firing ceased, and the boats ran up to Norfolk to wait till morning, when they intended to return, capture the Minnesota and other vessels of war, shell us out, and land a force to hold this post. They would have done it too if Ericsson's floating "battery, the Monitor, had not arrived during the night. As soon as it was dark, the flames broke through the deck of the Congress (she had been on fire below some time,) and mounted the masts and rigging of the doomed frigate, and she was soon enveloped in flames from stem to stern, which cast a lurid glare over the water and on the camp. She lay broadside to the camp. About 8 P. M. the fire began to affect the guns, which were loaded. It was a fearful, yet grand, sight to see that noble vessel blazing like a huge pyramid, to hear the booming of the bursting guns and have the balls whizzing over our heads, fired by no mortal hand. One of the shot struck a schooner and sunk her near to our wharf. We went to sleep in the midst of this sublime scene, with the shot still flying over us. At 1 o'clock, every man in camp was startled by the explosion of the magazine; it shook the ground like an earthquake; the whole firmament was filled by the burning splinters ana eparks offire. Sunday, the 9th, was as beautiful a day as ever dawned on this troubled Union. We were up at daylight, to see tbe re-commencement of thefight. At 8 o'clock, the Merrimac, Patrick Henry and Yorktown, came down from Norfolk to engage and take tbe Minnesota, which lay aground off ■here; but when the Merrimac got within three miles, the Monitor came out from behind her and bore directly for the Merrimac—the other two rebel boats ran off. The Rebels were vary much surprised to see tbe Monitor; they neither knew where it came from, or what it waa. The Rebels fired the first shot, and thus opened the engagement. Tbe Monitor engaged the Merrimac, and it was a novel sight to see these two ironclad steamers firing upon each other without serious damage to either, and all this time not a man could be seen on either vessel. After five hours firing, tbe Monitor drove off the Merrimac, with some considerable damage. While they were fighting on the river, the long roll beat in the camp, for the Rebels had come down by Und to within three miles of us. They were seat to cut us off in our retreat when the JlteTrrmac well conshould have driven us out. It was a successful. trived plan, and came very near being Had the Monitor been delayed a few hour*, w« News. should not now be at NewportSaTH W. r»TT �THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1862. 42 APPENDIX To Mr. Pease's Catalogue of Books upon the Hawaiian Islands. Cook's Voyages. Capt. Cook made known and accurately determined the position of the Hawaiian Island*, but was not the original discoverer. A study of the narratives and charts of the early voyages of the Spaniards in the Pacific, would probably restore to them many discoveries now credited 10 Inter voyagers. They were* formerly too much disregarded or ultogetheMtjriooked. Cupt. Cook appears to have had no acquaintance fceyond the " Galleon Chart," so often referred to in works on the Pfli I which was originally published in Lord Anson's voyage. At the present time, however, the libraries of Europe are being diligently searched, and knowledge in all its branches is progressing quite ns mpidly backward, if we may be allowed the expression, as forward. Within the year past, the original discovery of Australia has been ceded to the Spaniards, through the researches ol R. II. Major, Esq., of the British Museum. To some extent it is true that the Spaniards concealed or suppressed the publication of the narratives of their early voynges, for fear of completion, or at least interference with their trade, but such of their discoveries as can now be established, could and should have been known a century ago. The subject, however, to be fully and fairly presented, would involve the examination of several collateral questions, and require access to large libraries. The expedition which left England under the command of Cupt. Cook, reached home duringthe American war. The papers and notes of those connected with it, were locked up at the Admiralty office, and the results of the voyage were not made known until the close of the war. The sale, however, of fine furs, by the sailors and officers of the expedition, in China, on their way home, induced the English merchants resident there, to fit out Reveral vessels, for the prosecution of the trade. The first did not stop at our Islands, their position, perhaps, not being made known. Soon after the narrative of the voyage was published, a Company was formed in London, and two vessels dispatched, under command of Capt. Portlock, who had accompanied Cook. The French Government also sent out an expedition under La Perouse, about the same time. Capt. Portlock arrived at our Islands the first by three days, and we find that at the time La Perouse was getting under weigh at Makee's Landing, on East Maui, where he first anchored, Capt, Portlock was passing the leeward side of Lanai, from Hawaii, bound to Kauai, but they did not see each other. The Coast of America soon became an El Dorado, as it has again of late years. Americans, Spaniards, Russians, Prussians as well as French and English, entering the trade. ■ The profit of the first voyages were almost fabulous. The China market, however, soon gave out, and the fur trade became, after a few years, settled on the same basis as it stands at present. The first published voyages to our Islands, therefore, were those by the fur traders, next those of Survey and Discovery, and then those withal of Adventures and Travelers. [B] Cleveland's Voyages—First Protestant Clergyman. . This Voyage is notable for having brought the first horses to our Islands. It has been stated, they were sent by a Spanish gentleman from the coast, but such does not appear to be the fact. They were purchased by Capt. Cleveland, as an intended present to H. M. Kamehameha I. On bis arrival at our Islands, he touched first at Hawaii, but the King was at that time living in Lahaina. At the urgent request of Mr. John Young, a mare and foal were landed at Kawaibae, June 24, 1803. Two horses remaining, were taken over to Lahaina, and there presented to the King, who after having proved to him their use, by sailors riding them, expressed an opinion which has well nigh proved true : "That the food and cars that they would require, would hardly counteri«lance the benefits to derived by the natives from riding." One other rircurnstanee related by Capt. C. U worthy of note, for the reason that too little credit, in our opinion, has been heretofore given to the early foreign residenis on our Islnnds, for their influence in the abolition of the Tabu system, and also that it may eventually prove that the first Protestant clergyman, resident on our Islands, was an English Episcopalian. Capt. Cleveland's account we quote entire as follows : "As our intercourse with these Islands increased, the danger of a temporary residence on shore ceased. Among others, who at this early period took advantage of it, was a Mr. Howell, commonly called Padre Howell, who soon ingratiated himself into favor with the King, and being struck with his superiority of intellect, conceived that it would not be difficult to induce him to abandon his idolatrous worship and substitute one of rationality. Accordingly he lost no opportunity, after acquiring a sufficient knowledge of the language, to convince the Chief of the incapacity for good or evil of his gods, and of the power and wisdom and goodness of the Supreme Maker and Kuler of the Universe, whom he worshipped. The first, that of the impotency of idols, was without difficulty admitted, but the second, not being tangible, could not be comprehended. His mind, however, appeared to be dwelling on the subject with increased attention aftereach conversation. At length, one day, while walking together, the King unusually thoughtful, and Howell auguring favorably from it, the silence was broken by the King's observing, "You say your God is powerful, wise, good, and that he will shield from barm those who truly worship and adore him ?' This being assented to, then said the King, 'Give me proof by going and throwing yourself from yonder precipice, and while fulling call on yourGod to shield you, mid if you escape unharmed, I will then embrace the worship of yourGod.' It may be unnecessary to say that Howell failed to give the desired test, and the King remained unconverted." The title "Padre," as mentioned above, was probably given to Howell for reason of his religious life and conversation, as it was commonly applied in those dnys to all priests or ministers on the coast. We have attempted to trace out the life of this person, with but little success. We learn from "An Historical Memoir on the N. W. Coast of America," by Rob't Greenhow, that he had acted as Interpreter to the Spanish Government on the coast, and was or had been an Episcopal clergyman. He was also attached to the brig Margaret as supercargo. We find no mention of him elsewhere, except by Vancouver. In his remarks on the foreign residents of Hawaii, he devotes a few lines to Howell as follows : "With Kaharceroo also resided a person by the name of Howell, who came to Owhyhee in the capacity of clerk on board the Wuafcington. He appeored to possess a good understanding, wilh the advantages of en University education and had been a clergyman in England, but had now secluded himself from European society." We should be pleased to receive further information in regard to the above person, particularly from those who may have access to the Catalogues of the English Universities. [C] The Manuscript of Rev. S. Creatheed. We have in our possession, a manuscript work on the Saadwich Islands, compiled by the Rev. S. Greatheed, of Newport Pagnel. It was propably written about the commencement of the present century, as the latest date mentioned in it is 1796. In Campbell's work on Christian Missions, we find a short sketch of our author's life. He was a founder and one of the most active members of the "London Missionary Society," and Editor of tbe Eclectic that it was written for Review. We infer, from remarks in the purpose of proving the feasibility Mptablishing a Mission at our Islands. He appears to have consulted, in addition to published voyages, several persons who had visited our Islands, and consequently furnishes original information, from which we propose to give one or two extracts. The first is an account of the murder of Capts. Brown and Gordon, with the crews of their vessels, in Honolulu harbor, (the first vessels that ever entered our harbor.) Several brief accounts of this aflair, ha»e been published, but they all differ. The following appears to have been derived from credible authority, and it furnishes us a clue to an instigating cause, which has heretofore been attributed to tbe desire of the King to obtain possession of the vessels for warlike purposes. "The close of the History of Woahu, as faras it has reached us, is truly tragical and highly discouraging to any attempt of a Missionary kind �THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1 8 <2 . 43 this Island, although it fully demonstrates the need the inhabitants board, before dark, they cleared the ships in ten minutes, the King, the are in of evangelical instruction.

There are 300,000 men in English vessels; 150,000 American seamen engaged n foreign commerce, and nearly the same number on our inland waters. In the whalefishery there are 20,000, and from 20,000 \o 30,000 in the navy. Nearly half of the whole number are accessible to truth in the English language.—American Paper. two Corn for Fuel.—lt is a singular fact, says a St. Louis paper, that on a certain portion of the Illinois prairies corn is being used is lieu of coal, and found an excellent substitute. In the districts referred to corn is 13} cents per bushel, and coal is 12 to 17 cents. Not only is the difference in price in favor of the corn, but a bushel of it gives m tie hint tlisn a hifhcl of coal. Science Reliable.—The practical usefulness of scientific observations was once shown by a prediction of Admiral Fitzroy of the English navy, who, three days before a gale, telegraphed its approach to the ports on the northern coasts of England. A newspaper in one of these ports ridiculed his warning. Three hours before the gale cane on, a number of vessels put out to sea from that port, but were driven back and wrecked. �44 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 18 62. THE FRIEND, a, JUNE 1862.

"God be merciful unto us, and cause his lace to shineupon as, that thy way may be known upon earth, thy sarlng health amongall nations." The following sentiment, deduced from this passage, was illustrated and enforced :— " The external prosperity and enlargement of the church, as dependent upon its internal purity and growth." At the close of the exercises, a contribution was taken up, amounting to $142 75, including one contribution of $60. Hawaiian Bible and Tract Society. The Anniversary Sermon, before this Society, was preached on Sabbath evening, June Ist, at Fort Street Church, by Rev. S. C. Damon, from the text, Revelations, six i 16—" Out of his month goeth a sharpsword that with It he should smite the nations." Bible-truth, the weapon with which the naions are to be subdued to Christ. At the close of the exsjfcises, the sum of $S2 63 was contributed in behalf ofthe Society's funds. The Treasurer's Report was read at the business-meeting, held at the Session Room Street Church, on Wednesday evenMay 28th. Kort A Peep at Mr. Brewster's School.— Among the educational agencies operating upon the young, in Honolulu, the school of Mr. Brewster forms an important element Assisted by Mrs. B. and her sister, Mr. Brewster is aiming at a very high standard of excellence among the juvenals, from six to ten or twelve years of age. Obedience, order, study, punctuality and correct deportment are manifest to the most casual observer. There will be a public examination at The Morning Star. It is not often that the votary of the Muses participates in the conflicts of statesmen and the correspondence of diplomatists. His Majesty, in his address at the opening of Parliament, announced that His Excellency Sir John Bownng had been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary from the Hawaiian Court to those of Europe. Unless we are much mistaken, this distinguished personage is the author of the oft-sung hymn, commencing : " Watchman ! tell us of the night, are The arrival of this vessel from the Marquesas brings gratifying intelligence of the progress of the' Hawaiian Mission on those islands. There are now none but Hawaiian missionaries connected with that mission. The Rev. D. Baldwin was sent as Delegate. He has been able to collect such facts as enable him to make some important suggestions in regard to the conducting of the mission. He is decidedly of opinion thnt Hawaiian books may be successfully introduced into their schools, from the striking similarity between the Hawaiian and Marquesan dialects. This will be an important step, and prove a great saving of labor and money. His visit has left a most favorable impression upon his mind in regard to the final success of the mission. The Morning Star will sail in about two weeks, to visit all the stations of Micronesia. There is some embarrassment attending the departure of the vessel, from the fact that no intelligence of importance has been received from those islands since the arrival of the vessel, last year. News has been confidently expected by the whaling brig Wailua and What its signs and promise Sermon before the Hawaiian Missionary Rev. CT T. Mills, President of Oahu ege, preached the Annual Sermon before Hawaiian Missionary Society, at Fort Street Church, Sabbath evening, May 25th, from the text, A Poetical Diplomat. . .'" &c, &c There is scarcely any hymn more frequently sung in the various CrSrstiun assemblies of America, and we presume the samo is true of England. It is found in every collection of church pslamody. It must have been written more than thirty years ago. While Mr. Bowring was British Minister to China, he frequently translated specimens of Chinese He also published a work upon poetry. Siam, and another work upon Coins. He has also the reputation of being a profound linguist, and familiarly acquainted with most of the languages of modern Europe. He certainly cannot be less than " three score and ten." Rarely is such a variety of talents combined in the same individual, as that of poet, linguist, diplomatist, political economist and traveler. We cannot learn exactly what treaty-stipulations he is desirous of securing in behalf of the Hawaiian kingdom, but hope he may be successful. We venture however to assert, that when Sir John Bowring's name as Diplomatist is forgotten, that of the author of " Watchman ! tell us of theYnftht," will be remembered, and handed down to millennial days by the harmonious choirs of the church universal. Facts about Bible Distribution. Sixty-five million copies have been printed and distributed since the organization of the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1804. The Bible, previous to that date, was only printed in 20 different languages—but since, in 157. During the last twenty years, 6,b00 Bibles and 6,000 Testaments have been sold and donated at the Depository of the Hawaiian Bible Society, in Honolulu, in 10 different languages. The Bible is now printed in eight different languages of Polynesia, viz: Hawaiian, Tahitian, Rarotongan, Tongan, Samoan, Feejeean, Aneiteum, and parts in several other dialects. TheTenth Anniversary of the Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society, will be bsld at tbe Odd Fellows' Hall on Thursday, June 6th. Hawaiian schooner Liholiho. Serious fears are now entertained in regard to the fate of both of these vessels. Should no intelligence arrive previous to the sailing of the Morning Star, she will be expected to make special search for them. All persons having letters or packages to forward to any of the station? in Micronesia, should not fail to send them forward in good time, before the vessel sails. We need not intimate the joy which those self-denying American and Hawaiian missionaries will experience on the arrival of the Morning Star, if well freighted with "letters"and "packages." There is no danger of too many letters being sent. While our newspapers, on both sides of the Atlantic, indulge in harsh language, and while among the aristocracy of England and the leading politicians, there is much unkind feeling towards Union loving Americans in their struggle for national life and Inde- pendence, it is exceedingly pleasant to meet with such as the following. It shows that there are individuals in England, whose generous sympathies flow out towards America: We understand that the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions have within a few weeks received several donations from citizens of the old town of Taunton, England, amounting in all to about twenty thousand dollars. The donors wished it to be understood that this sum was a special contribution to the Board at this time, in the supposition that tho war would tend to diminish the receipts. This indicates not only a deep interest in the success of the Board, but a warm sympathy for the North.- Boston Traveller. �45 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1812. Oahu College. The two days of examination, exhibition at Fort Street Church, and the soiree at the College premises, have all passed off in a very gratifying manner. We most heartily congratulate teachers, pupils, parents, patrons and the community of the Sandwich Islands, that possess the nucleus of an institution, around which there are annually gathering the gratifying evidences of prosperity and healthy progress. We should hardly dare to venture to comment upon individual performances or the most gratifying features of the varied exercises, lest we should omit some meritorious person, whose scholarship so essentially contributed to render the whole series of performances all that could be reasonably desired. We may be, in the language of Scripture, "a feeble folk" at the Sandwich Islands, compared with the great and populous nations of the earth, but we find much in our schools and educational privileges for which to be truly thankful.

The Monitor, at once, has taken her stand as Mistress of the Seas. What the Monitor is among vessels of war, Wheeler & Wilson's Sewing Machine" is among all other contrivances for sewing by machinery. There were formerly many noble specimens of naval architecture, but they must now lower their colors and pay their respects to the Monitor. An equally peerless rank is now claimed for " Wheeler & Wilson's sewing machines. We have just seen No. 76,792. This shows, that the sales of this pattern must be enormous. For several years a specimen of this pattern has been a member of our family! The amount of work which it has accomplished is incredible to persons who are not familiar with such institutions. Other sewing machines may have their excellencies, but this pattern, in our opinion, stands among all the other Yankee contrivances for sewing and hemming just where the Monitor does among all sea-going vessels of war. We would call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Mr. Heyden, the San Francisco Agent of Messrs. Wheeler & Wilson, of New York. A Remarkable Frenchman.—A French- man resolved to be rid of life, went a little before high tide, to a post set up by the sea-side. He had provided himself with a ladder, a rope, a pistol, a bundle of matches and a vial of poison. Ascending the ladder, he tied one end of the rope to the post and the other end round his neck ; then he took the poison, set his clothes on fire, put the muzzle of the pistol to his head, and kicked away the ladder. In kicking down the ladder, he sloped the pistol so that the ball missed his head and cut through the rope by which he was suspended : he fell into the sea, thus ex- tinguishing the flames of his clothes, and the sea water which he involuntarily swallowed counteracted the poison, and thus in spite of his precautions, he remained unchanged, unshnr, unhung, unburned, undrowned. Sailors for the Navy.—Since the bombardment of Fort Sumpter, 6,480 men have been shipped in New York for the navy, and about 29,000 at other offices—Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, Portsmouth, Buffalo, &c., making an agregate of nearly 36,000 men shipped in a little more than six Farewell Epistle of Joel and Hannah Bean. , Beloved Brethren and Sitter «/ the Hawaiian Mi—tan i Harlag surrendered ourselves to a call which successive years had matured and clearly developed In our hearts, as our Heavenly father's will, to visit these Isles of theSea "in the love and service of the Oospel of Christ." and having received the approbation and fullliberation of our department of tbe church, in this mission ; and now having.

ILondon and New Tor* : IS 67.] This work principally relates to the United States. The author traveled in 1851 and 1862, from Boston to New Orleans, visiting every part of the country. After returning home, he was urged by his friends to publish an account of his travels, and the accompanying volume embraces the result of his notes and reflections. The book contains much valuable information, but the writer exhibits this radical fault, starting from England with the idea that England and Englishmen are tbe standards by which to measure and compare the inhabitants and customs of other lands. If in his opinion they do not come up to, or excel those standards, then, forsooth, they must be wrong. While the writer finds much to censure and condemn, yet he makes some admissions which are quite remarkable. In referring to the knowledge which Americans possess of their own country, and the nature of the Republican Government under which they live, the Hon. Mr. Murray makes the following statements: "Then, again, with reference to their own country, it is impossible for any one to travel among them without being struck with the universal intelligence they possess as to its Constitution, its politics, its laws, and all general subjects connected with its prosperity or its requirements. The Constitution of their country is regularly taught at their schools: and doubtless it is owing to * * * this early insight into the latent springs by which the machinery ofgovernment is worked, that their future appetite for more minute details is whetted. I qutstion very much if every boy on leaving a High School in the United States, does not know jar more of the institutions of his country, than nine-tenths of the members ofthe British House of Commons of thetrs." Page 461. This high compliment, which is paid to the youth of America, in the foregoing paragraph, will abundantly atone for the many hard raps and cockney kicks with which this book abounds. Here is an admission the most remarkable which we have ever read in any book upon America, written by an Englishman. It really does not afford the reader a very exalted idea of nine-tenths of those persons in England with an " M. P." attached to their names! The question is sometimes asked, and by no persons oftener than Englishmen, For " what are Americans now fighting?' We answer, They are fighting for the mainten" ance of thatConstitution which the Hon. Mr. Murray, of the R. N., says the youth of understand better than nine-tenths of British House of Commons do the British »;ric& Constitution." This is why the U. S. Government is now supporting an army of 600,- Cuba, the U. States and Canada. -000 soldiers, and expending from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 per day. The people of America know what they are fighting for. If they accomplish their object blessings untold will flow to their own people, the African race, and the whole world. The following paragraph is from the London Saturday Review, one of the leading English papers: " It happens to be the unanimous experience ofnineteen educated Englishmen out of twenty, that a more purposeless and hopeless enterprise than the re-conquest of the South, by the Federal Government, has never been projected in any ancient or modern state." The conquest of the South may seem hopeless to nineteen out of every twenty educated Englishmen, but it does not take this view in the minds of the best educated Americans. Federal victories succeed one another with astonishing rapidity. One Union Editor, in Virginia, does not deem it best to hoist his flag at every newly reported victory, but keeps the star-splangled banner flying all the time! The Rising Prospects of Uncle Tom's Family, Again. In our last issue, we stated some (acts that indicated a better feeling towaids the African race in the United States. In late papers, we notice additional facts indicating the same view of the subject. England and America are about forming a treaty for the mutual right of search on the coast of Africa. Mr. Sumner has introduced a bill into the Senate of the United States, abolishing the inland traffic in slaves, i.e., putting an end to the privilege of " Old Virginia" raising slaves for the Southern market. In California the Legislature is wiping from her statutes the disgrace of not allowing colored people giving evidence in civil and criminal cases before the courts. Such facts as these indicate the present tendency of public opinion in the United States. Now that those fire-eaters from the South no longer control Congress and public sentiment, a new era has been inaugurated at Washington. Read the following: Two Dozen Abolition Lectnrcs at Washington. Straws, it is said, tell which way the wind blows. Some people seem to think that the war in America will not result in the abolition of slavery, because the Government does not recklessly and unconstitutionallyproclaim freedom to the slaves. It needs, however, only to have but one eye, and that not more •than one-half open, to see that the cause of abolition is progressing with astonishing rapidity. A friend and neighbor of ours has justreceived a letter from Washington, dated March 21st, from which we copy the following paragraph : "But we think now that slavery will get such a shaking, before things are settled, that it will not long survive. Our great anti- slavery orators have been down from the North, and we have had twenty-four redhot abolition lectures in this city during the winter, from such men as Horace Greeley, Cheever, Gerrit Smith, Wendell Phillips, and others. They have been received with great fervor. Is not that progress ?" 23,000 Heretics and 24,000 Infidels. It is interesting to glance over the successive numbers of the Annals of the Propagagation of the Faith, the Catholic monthly, published in London, in which the Catholic missionaries on the Sandwich Islands report their doings and labors. In the number for January, 1858, we find a letler written by Bishop Maigret, " Bishop of Arathia, Vicar- Apostolic of the Sandwich Islands, to Messrs. the Members of the Central Councils of the Propagation of the Faith at Lyons and Paris." It gives a glowing account of the celebration at Honolulu, when, upon the Bth of December. 1856, was promulgated the "dogma of the Immaculate Conception." We copy the following paragraph from this letter: " Alas ! when will the day come when we shall be no longer obliged to restrict our joys to the interior of our temples? Oh! if all the inhabitants of the Sandwich Islands would consent to be of one heart and one mind by entering the one fold, in which the sheep have not to fear the rage of the wolf, and by hearing the voice of one Pastor, who can lead them into the pastures of eternal life, how easily would the missionary forget his hardships and fatigue ! But there are twenty-three thousand heretics and twentyfour thousand infidels who refuse the grace of salvation, and who know not its value! What can be more capable of moving our hearts, which are entirely devoted to them ? 0 Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us !" We infer from the above statement that the Catholics claim 20,000 of the population of the Sandwich Islands ! As, in round numbers, there are ,000 1,000 i.OOO Infidels, Heretics, and Good Catholics, there is a total population of about 67,000 inhabitants, not including about 2000 foreigners. The Chronicle, in a biographical notice of the late Hon. George N. Briggs, says: " He was an earnest advocate of temperance, and the trifling singularity of his personal appearance, which arose from his never wearing a collar, was said to be in consequence of an agreement he had entered into never to indulge in that luxury so long as one of his temperance converts, who had put him to that test, refrained trom liquor." �47 THE FRIEND.

At Ntotucket 150brls. have been purchased by parties in this city upon private terms. The ■lock of sperm oil now in importersand speculators' baudsis reduced to 8000 brls. Whale oil is neglected, the demand being very limited, although manufacturerswould probably purchase at 50 cents per gallon, but holders are unwilling to operate at that price. The only transaction has been the sale or 160 brls. at a price not made public. In the London market, Feb. Bth, no sales of sperm oil were reported—-quotations £93 to £94. In whalebone two tons Southern had been sold at £310 per ton—do other transactions. Bperu Oil.—The sperm oil market at present is in somewhat of an excited state on account of the reduced stock and the limited number of persons who at present bold it. The sales in tbls city since our lastreport, amount to 1410 brls. at $1.40* per gallon,mostly for export, the market closing with inquiry, but the holders will not sell at theabove quotation. In Nantucket, a sale has also been made on New York account, of 225 brls. at $1.39 per gal. The stock in this city Is held by four Individuals, and it Is believed that not more than 1000 brls. will be Imported Into the country duriag the next month at least.

He also directed me to you as a gentleman who would perhaps kindly assist me In making inquiries, eitherby advertising In thepapers or otherwise, as to whether there were still any persons on the sland or Islands ofthat name. I had threebrothers of the names of William, Abraham and saac Newton, all sailors, but the family has not beard from ither ofthem for eighteen years. The last letter we received, Informed us that they were at Valparaiso, and that they were going to the Island of Onahelte, I think,) and certainly theSandwich Islands. The mention by brother-in-law of the man by the name of Newton, at Honolulu,leads me to hope that be is probably my brother. It would be a great comfort to myself and family if youwould kindly be at the trouble of inquiring tor us (If practicable) whether my brothers be alive or dead. * Your humble servant, Elizabeth Walton.

Foreign ANNIVERSARY SERMON, Preached in behalf of-the Hawaiian Bible id Tract Society, at Fort St. Church, I bbath evening, June 1, 1862, by Rev. t". Damon. xlx: la—" Out of his mouth goeth a sword, that with It be should smite the nations." r—Revelations, The word of God, in this passage, is compared to a sharp sword. In the fourth chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews, it is compared to a sword with two edges—« For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." We are gathered this evening to celebrate tbe anniversary of a society, the object of which is to scatter abroad, to an indefinite extent, exact copies of this spiritual weapon, lv our organization, we combine the printing and distribution of religious tracts, and hence we denominate our Association the "Hawaiian Bible and Tract Society." The design of a religious tract is precisely the same as that of the publication and circulation of the Bible. A tract, in a simple form, embodies some one Scripture truth. That truth is simplified and illustrated, where the Bible contains the whole body of God's revealed word, without note or comment. The Bible, as sent forth by the various Bible Societies of Christendom, is the sharp sword, or the sword of the Spirit, without a scabbard. It is the naked broadsword, but highly tempered and made of the best Damascus steel The truths of the Bible, as published upon the flying leaves of our Tract Societies, are manufactured in smaller weapons than broad swords. The design of both is, however, the same. These weapons are designed to smite the nations, as set forth in my text —" Out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations." It is not difiicult'to ascertain the name of the person here referred to, for it is the Lord Jesus Christ, who is represented as seated upon a white horse, and riding forth at the head of a conquering host: "And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean." The revelator John saw this advancing army riding forth, "conquering and to conquer," having " on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of Kings, and Lord of : The amount of literary labor performed in the execution of this work of Bible translation is almost incredible. I'ersons who have not been engaged in this peculiar department of literary labor can form but a faint idea of the amount of toil, perplexity and care which are requisite to catch the sounds of a spoken language, and transfer them to the written page. The labors attending the translation of the Hawaiian Bible are thus graphically and concisely sketched by theRev. A. Bishop, in an address delivered before the Hawaiian Bible Society, 12th of June, 1844, and published in the August number of the Friend for that year. Mr. Bishop remarks as follows:—"No small part of former years has been occupied in investigating the Word of God, in the original languages, with a direct reference to the Hawaiian translation. The works of the most learned commentators and lexicographers, and various translations both in Latin and English, were consulted. The discoveries which modern scientific investigators have thrown upon the original languages of Scripture were made available. The labors ofRosenmiiller, Kenoel, Michaelis, Gesenius, Knapp, Griesback, Bloomfield, Doddridge, Stuart, Robinson, Macknight, Campbell, and others, have all contributed to aid us in the investigation. But their aid extended only to the elucidation of the original text. A still greater labor existed in bringing the true sense of the original into the language which had never been cultivated, and whose words are limited by the paucity of ideas attained by an untutored people." The whole address of Mr. Bishop is worthy of perusal, for it contains much valuable historical data upon this subject. Great as the labor has been, the present translation is acknowledged as incomplete, and it is a pleasing fact that some of the best Hawaiian scholars among the missionaries are now engaged in perfecting the transla- lards." The manifest design of this highly-wrought and figurative language is to portray, in a most vivid and impressive style, the great fact that the Lord Jesus Christ is now at the head of an advancing host of powerful agents, the object of which is to subdue the world, and to bring the nations of the earth into subjection to the truths and precepts of the Bible. Taking this view of the advancing columns, in the armies of Prince Imtnanuel, our numerous Bible and Tract Societies form a most powerful agency to bring about the final triumph of the Gospel. Bible Societies tn General. Let me dwell for a moment upon the various Bible Societies in different parts of tion. Rev. Mr. Ellis printed the first portion of the Tahitian Scriptures, the first ever printed in any of the languages of the Pacific. Now the Bible has been translated, printed, and extensively circulated in eight different languages, the Tahitian, Rarotongan, Samoan, Tongan, Feejeean, New Zealand, Hawaiian, and Aneiteum. Single Books and detached portions of the Bible have also been printed in nearly as many more languages." Bible Translation in Micronesia. No one feature of the missionary work, as witnessed by myself during my late cruise among the Micronesian Islands, made so favorable an impression upon my mind as that of our Missionaries in their efforts to translate the Bible into the four distinct dialects spoken by the inhabitants upon Apiang, Ebon, Kusaie and Ponape. We are accustomed to refer to the Micronesian Mission as a single and distinct Mission. This is far from being the true statement. The natives of Apiang speak an entirely different language from those of Ebon, or Kusaie, or Ponape. So also do the natives of these latter islands speak different dialects; hence, there must be made four translations : one, by Mr. Bingham and his associates; a second, by Mr. Doane and his associates; a third, by Mr. Snow and his wife ; and a fourth, by Mr. Sturges and his wife. One of the objects which Mrs. Sturges had in view, in visiting the Sandwich Islands, was to carry through the press and examine the proofsheets of a translation of the Gospel of John, in the Ponapian dialect. While among those missionaries, and witnessing their labors,lny mind was most sensibly impressed with the greatness and difficulties of their enterprise. Just one year ago to-day, I spent my first Sabbath in heathendom. I felt for and sympathized with pioneer missionaries among savages as I never.felt before. With Jeremiah, I could say, the sight of "mine eye affecteth mine �THE FKI E N heart." To know and fully appreciate the moral and spiritual degradation of a heathen people, and the herculean task of elevating them to the rank of a civilized and Christian nation, a person must go among them and witness the toiling missionary combatting with indolence, ignorance, vice, degradation, and depravity. Such has been my privilege. The recollection of that sight is cherished among the most precious treasures in memory's store-house. I now value my Bible as I never valued it before. If the people of Micronesia are ever elevated and christianized, it must be done by the Bible, as brought home to their hearts through the faithful labors of our missionaries. Bible Truth, the Foundation of England's Greatness and Hawaiian Civilization. But let us now turn our thoughts to another part of the world, and contemplate the influence of the Bible in Christian lands. How mistaken and palpably ignorant of the true elements of national strength and prosperity are those who undervalue it as the true foundation of civilization. Never did Queen Victoria utter a more eloquent and truthful sentiment than when asked upon what the greatness of England rested. Pointing to the Bible, she said, "It rests there." Never did His Majesty, Kamehatneha IV., utter sentiments more becoming the Chief Magistrate and Ruler of a Christian nation, than upon the 26th of May, 1857, when presented with a copy of the Holy Bible, sent out by the American Bible Society. Addressing the person who presented him the Bible, His Majesty remarked : "The volume you present me, in behalf of the American Bible Society, and the letter with which it is accompanied, I receive with mingled feeling of pleasure and reverence. When I remember the moral illumination and the sense of social prosperity which have spread through these islands in proportion as the Holy Scriptures have been circulated, I cannot but admire and respect the human agency through which Providence has effected its benign purpose. * I will not attempt to echo the true tone of fervent admiration and gratitude with which you allude to the happy changes effected by the dissemination of God's Holy Word. But from the position I occupy, the facts meet me which ever way I turn my eyes. I see them every day and every hour. I see principles taking root among my people that were unknown and unintelligible to them at that dark period of our history to which you have referred. They have now a standard by which to judge of themselves and of each other as members of society. Without that standard, no law but the law of autocratic power could have ruled them. Its absence would have rendered the gift of free institutions, such as they now enjoy, a worse than useless act of magnanimity on tbe part of my predecessors," &c., &c. * * * The Testimony of Civil Rulers. The testimony of Kings, Queens, Presidents and Civil Rulers, in regard to the civilizing and conservative influence of Bible truths, is valuable. It is no more, however, than the rulers of Christian nations should esteem it their highest privilege to render. It should never be rendered in a patronizing air. The I). JULY,. 1812. 51 Bible inculcates the truth, "render unto may not be so open and violent as were the French when, in their delirium of madness, they voted that there was no God, and abolished the Sabbath by a legislative decree. Numbers are not wanting who desire to break away from the restraints imposed by the precepts of the Gospel. Their attacks are especially directed against those two great and positive laws of Paradise—the Sabbath and the marriage institution. Taking the Bible for our guide, it appears, from an examination of the second chapter of the book of Genesis, that God promulgated " two great laws for the obedience and observance of the human family. The first law set apart one-seventh part of time as holy. 1 do not find that God ever has repealed this law by any subsequent enactment, but has, on numerous occasions, re-enacted and confirmed it, and especially on Mount Sinai, where, amid thunderings and lightnings, He commanded as follows : the Sab" Remember bath day, to keep it holy," etc. So far as the teachings and example of our Savior bore upon the Sabbath, they re-consecrated oneseventh part of time, redeeming it from Pharisaic desecration and pollution. Oneseventh part of time we regard as now belonging to God. and to be sacredly devoted to religious purposes. The other great law of Paradise appertained to the marriage institution, clearly allowing every man to marry one woman, and no more. We do not discover from our reading of either the Old or New Testament, example. The course of events during the last forty that God has ever repealed this law.

But Ctcsar should never imagine that it is any condescension for him to acknowledge that the Bible precepts are all more obligatory than human laws, or that a human law is not to be obeyed if it manifestly conflicts with the revealed will of God, as made known by His Son Jesus Christ; for in the language of my text, " Out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations." When the laws of even Christian nations conflict with the Bible, the Word of God—the sharp sword," must smite through all barriers. We claim for the Bible higher authority than Kings, Presidents and Diplomatists can claim for Justinian, Vattel, Puffendorf, Grotius, Blackstone, or Wheaton. When the King and Chiefs of these islands, more than twenty years ago, in council assembled, passed a decree that no law should be enacted in conflict with the Bible, they enunciated one of the most correct and soundest principles of legislation ever set forth by human lawgivers. Suppose they did pass this decree at the suggestion of Mr. Richards, whom they had chosen to be their teacher in civil and political duties, then are we bound to honor the memory of the Christian missionary, and admire the docility and teachableness of the King and Chiefs, who evinced such admirable good sense and sound wisdom.

The One Main Point of Attack Divine Revelation. While there is skirmishing and fighting all along the " perilous edge of battle," between the combatants, there is one especial point of attack—Divine Revelation. Amid the dust and clouds, smoke and confusion, can you nor discern that citadel ? It is Divine Revelation. Around it the contest is sharp. Recently, seven divines of the Church of England, have made a renewed attack upon it! In that citadel there is a determined band of tesolute warriors. Upon their standard is emblazoned the Cross. They are armed with the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, a sharp sword ! If the enemy is ever subdued, this is the weaoon that must do the work—this the instrument that must do the execution. This is the true Monitor which is to batter down all the works of the enemy. Within its ironclad apartments the defenders of Divine Revelation are safe. " No weapon thnt is formed against thee shall prosper." The enemies of the truth have for ages directed their deadliest aim against this tower of strength, but it stands, and will stand, forever! The Defenders of the Truth called upon to Wage an Aggressive Warfare. is It not merely a defensive warfare which we, as Christian soldiers, are now called upon to wnge with the enemies of the truth. No, we are in duty bound to make the present an aggressive campaign. Vigorous blows must be given. We must show that there are blows to give as well as blows to take. The sword of the Spirit must be kept sharp, and it must be wielded with a vigorous arm and a resolute mind. Christianity must not be supposed capable of standing upon a mere equality, or common level, with idolatry or the forms of belief among infidels and skeptics in Christian lands. These are to be assailed and smitten down by the sword going forth out of the mouth of Him seen riding forth in apocalyptic vision,and having upon His thigh a name written, " King of Kings, and Lord of Lords." Our Position. No unimportant work is assigned to Christians upon the Hawaiian Islands. Our numbers may be few, but our position is most important. This is an outpost in the frontier of civilization and Christianity. Our position is central in the broad Pacific. Honolulu is a center whence radiate lines of communication to every point of the compass. Seamen have gone out from this port, taking with them copies of the Bible in seven or eight different languages. More than fifty copies of the New Testament have recently one forth from our Depository, to be read in span and up the Amoor river. During the twenty years which it has been my privilege to labor among seamen in Honolulu,l have sold and donated over 7,500 Bibles und 6,000 Testaments, in ten different languages, besides a large number of Christian tracts and books, of which I have kept no special record. Our Bible and Tract Society contemplates not only foreign distri- — sone5 bution, but we are also aiming to publish religious tracts in the Hawaiian language. Several tracts have been issued during the past year. It is our wish and purpose to prosecute the work more vigorously during the coming year. For this purpose you will be invited to make a contribution. It is a privilege which I hope you will all improve. Let no one calculate how small a sum he may contribute, and feel that he has discharged his duty, but rather let us generously forward this enterprise. Every dollar goes directly to promote the object which our Society has in view. Unless we are willing to labor in this work, and contribute according as God has given us the ability, we shall be denied the privilege of joining in that shout of triumph which will eventually go up from our redeemed and ransomed world. Rest assured, the day of final victory is rapidly approaching. The onset was never more vigorous upon the powers of darkness and those in league with Satan. It is a question merely of time. The world is yet to be brought bark to its allegiance to God. It is a rebel province, and must be conquered. The rebels are yet to be driven from every stronghold. God had said—"For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." The heathen have been given to the Son of God for His inheritance, and the uttermosts part of the earth for his possession. The Lord Jesus Christ is now taking possession ofthis world. His rightful inheritance He will yet obtain. His title thereto has been signed, and issued from the court of Heaven. Onward ! let us press forward in the work before us, until the set time to favor Zion shall come. Then, THE FRIEND. JULY 1, 1862. Late American News.—By the arrival of the schooner Fanny and bark Boreas, both from San Francisco, we have telegraphic dates from Washington to June 7th. The intelligence generally is interesting and gratifying to all true Americans. A battle was fought near Richmond, May 31 and June 1, which resulted in the defeat of the Rebels. The loss was heavy on both sides. Citizens were leaving and stores being removed from Richmond, but it was thought another battle would be hazarded by Jeff. Davis, to save the Confederate Capital. Reports speak of a number of Federal gunboats at Richmond. If this be so, the would-be-great southern leader is about done for. —Beauregard, finding himself likely to be entrapped at Corinth, by the Union army, evacuated the place on the SJ9th of Mny. The retreat appears to have been very disorderly, as Gen. Pope succeeded in cutting off and capturing some 10,000 of the rebels, with arms, ammunition, &c., in abundance. —Com. Dupont and Gen. Hunter had invested Charleston, S.

The Late Prince Albert.—An English paper mentions an incident connected with the last sermon preached before the Prince and the Court at Balmoral: The preacher was the Rev. Mr. Stewart, of "Edinburgh. He discovered, to his great discomfort, just ns he entered the pulpit, that he had left at home the manuscript of the sermon. It happily occurred to him that he had recently written a sermon from the text, 'Prepare to meet thy God.' which he had closely committed to memory. He accordingly preached the sermon in question with fluency and power. Her Majesty and the late Prince Consort were so much struck with the discourse, that they sent a message to the preacher, expressing the pleasure with which they had listened to it, and requesting to be favored with a sight of the manuscript. The manuscript was, of course, at once forwarded to the Court, and immediately afterwards a second message was sent to the preacher by the Queen and the Prince, desiring that the sermon should be published. It has been so, and is in extensive circulation in Scotland. an awful appropriateness there was in text, ' Prepare to meet thy God.' so far as iregards the late lamented Prince." Kbat A Rebel Letter. The following is one of the letters found in the rebel camp after the Pea Ridge battle. It is from a Louisiana Major to his sister, a resident of New Orleans, and bears date, Little Rock, Feb. 27, 1562. Dear Sister Carrie:—You asked me, in your last letter, what I thought of our dearly beloved cause. To be candid, I have little hope for its success now, though last December I felt confident we would be recognized before the coming June. I don't like the Yankees a bit; I have been educated to hate them, and I do hate them heartily; but I must acknowledge the South has been sadly mistaken in their character. We have always believed that the Yankees would not fight for anything like a principle; that they had no chivalry, no poetry in their nature. Perhaps they have not; but that they are brave, determined, persevering, they have proved beyond question*. The trouble with them is, that they never get tired of anything. They lost all the battles at first, and after Manasses we despised them. This year has inaugurated a new order of affairs. We are beaten at all points. We do nothing but surrender and �THE FRIEND, JULY, 18 6 2.

We all thought we could go out in peace; I know I did, and laughed at the idea of the North attempting to keep us in the Union by force of arms. It was not possible, we said. We had too many friends in the Iree States.

He is taking with him plans and specifications of iron-clad vessels of war, for the information ofthe Japanese Government, which will doubtless induce trie Japanese to countermand the order which they have sent to the United States for building a first-class gun-boat after the old style. ican by education and citizenship, and has been from time to time, during the last ten years, a resident of San Francisco. Mr. Heco's adventures have been so varied and curious, that we have requested him to give us a slight sketch of his history. He has done so, and it forms the basis of the following narrative, which will be found quite interesting. It seems that Heco's father was a wealthy landed proprietor, residing about thirty miles from Osaka, an important seaport in the southern part of Japan, in which city resided his brother, who has engaged in commerce. Young Heco, at the age of 13, was sent to Osaka to learn commerce and navigation with his uncle. In the autumn of 1850, he went in one of his uncle's junks to Jeddo. The junk arrived safely at its destination, discharged, and having taken in a return cargo, sailed for Osaka via Woragawa. After leaving the latter place, the junk fell in with a typhoon, was disabled and blown out to sea. After remaining fifty days at the mercy of the waves, the wreck was fallen in with by the American bark Auckland, Capt. Jennings, who took off the crew (in all 17 persons) and brought them to San Francisco. They arrived here in February, 1851. The Collector of the Port placed all these persons on board the revenue cutter, and wrote to the Government at Washington for instructions as to their disposition. Government, with the laudable desire to set an example of humanity, and to cultivate good fellowship with Japan, sent the sloop of war St. Marys to take these castaways back to their own country. They accordingly embarked on board this vessel, and sailed for Hongkong, where they were transferred on board the U. S. steamer Susquehanna, to await the arrival of the Japanese expedition under Commodore Perry. After several months of delay, Heco determining to return to San Francisco, took passage on board the bark Sarah Hooper, and arrived here in the fall of 1852, He was accompanied by the second mate, and one of the sailors The other thirteen Japanese remained on board the Susquehanna until the Expedition arrived, and were then taken bfck to Japan. The Second mate, Toro, will be remembered by many of our readers as a porter at the bank of Wells, Fargo & Co. At that time Beverley C. Sanders was Collector here, and took Heco, who was then about 15 years old, under his protection, with the intention of educating him, thinking that he might some day be very useful, both to his own country and ours. With this viewMr. Sanders took him to the Eastern States and placed him at school in Baltimore. Heco afterwards returned to San Francisco and continued his schooling here, until early in 1856, when he entered the counting-house of Macondray 8c Co., in this city, where he remained eighteen months, and received a thorough mercantile education. Heco then accompanied Dr. W. M. Gwih to Washington, in hopes of obtaining from 53 the United States Government some appointment in their service at Japan, which would secure him from any fear of molestation from his own countrymen. He succeeded in obtaining the position of Secretary to the Cap- tain of the Fenimore Cooper, which vessel was to sail from San Francisco on a surveying expedition in the Pacific Ocean and on the coast of Japan. Owing to severe illness, Heco was obliged to leave the renimore Cooper at Honolulu. After his recovery he took passaje for Hongkong in the clipper ship Sea Serpent. From Hongkong he went to Shanghae in the U. S. steamer Powhatan, and thence to Jeddo in the U. S. steamer Mississippi. Shortly after Heco's arrival in Japan, the Fenimore Cooper was lost, and he was left to his own resources. He entered into business as commission agent, custom-house broker and interpreter, and was of great service to our Consul at Kanagawa, owing to his knowl- edge of the English and Japanese languages On one occasion, a lieutenant from one o the Russian frigates was murdered by tho Japanese, at Yokohama. The Russian Admiral applied to the Japanese authorities for the delivery of the murderers. Receiving no satisfaction from the Government, be determined to destroy Yokohama; but the U. S. Consul, Mr. Dorr, advised him to employ Heco as mediator, which he did. Hec > not being able to find the assassins, arranged with the Japanese Government to compromise the matter by ceding to Russia a portion of the Saghalien Island, and in that way save*. Yokohama from bombardment and destruction by the Russian fleet. Owing to the peculiar distinctions made by the native Japanese between Government officials and persons engaged merely in mercantile pursuits, Heco found his "position in Kanagawa a disagreeable one, and decided to try his luck again in Washington. He returned to Snn Francisco, and proceeded to Washington, taking with him strong letters of recommendation to tbe most influential persons both in and out of Congress. His visit was highly successful, and he has been appointed Interpreter to the Consulate at Kanagawa. This appointment enables him to wear a diplomatic uniform, and will give him among his countrymen a rank equsl to that of Lieutenant-Governor of Kanagawa owing to his being Acting Vice-Consul, in the event of the absence of the TJ. S. Consul. Mr. Heco informs us that he bss also the privilege of transacting business on bit own account at Kanagawa. There are but few instances where a shipwrecked lad ofthirteen has, in the space of ten years, by bis own energy and courage, mastered a n;w language, and become thoroughly acquainted with tbe habits and customs of a nation of whom he had never heard before. The future career of this young gentleman will be watched with interest by all Americans, and more especially by the people of this city, among whom he has lived so long, tod to many of whom he is personally known. In Mr. Heco, Americans will, we believe, alwsyt have a true and it may be s powerful friend in Japan ; and we and all our people most heartily wish him every success in the commercial pursuits to which he is now tboitt to turn hit attention in that country �THE FRIEND, JULY, 1862. 54 Tenth Anniversary of the Ladies' Stranger'sFriend Society. This Society held its Tenth Anniversary, by invitation, at the Odd Fellows' Hall, on Thursday afternoon and evening, June sth. The apartments were beautifully illuminated, and the entertainment bountiful, having been conducted after tbe picnic style. The object of the two Societies appears to be almost identical, although the internal management may differ. It is gratifying to know that both gentlemen and ladies in Honolulu vie with each other in their efforts to alleviate suffering, relieve the distressed, and befriend the stranger in need. While the Odd Fellows liberally support those of their own Order, the Ladies spread their " mantle of charity" over those whose claim is only that they are "strangers in a strange land." May both be prospered in their exalted and praiseworthy efforts. From the following report, it will appear what have been the receipts aud disbursements during the past ten years: Honolulu, June 5, 1862. To tht Preeident of the Stranger't Friend Society i The undersigned, Treasurer of the Stranger's Friend Society, would respectfully present the following report for the year ending June 5, 1862. By referring to the account book of the Society, herewith transmitted, it will appear that the Society has at this time invested the sum of $2,250, drawing interest at the rate of 12 per cent, per year. The amount ofcash on hand is 8177 53, making the available means of the Society at this time, 82,427 53. The amount expended for charitable objects by order of the President, as will be seen by the uccompanying vouchers, has, for the past year, been $391 12. The total receipts of the Society since its organization in 1852 have been $7,513 82, and the average annual expenditures for the objects of the Society during that period have been 8565 08. With many wishes for the future prosperity of the Society, I remain, very respectfully yours, A. E. Austin, Treasurer. The following are the names of the officers for the ensuing year : Mrs. S. C. Damon, President. W A KICH '| Vice Presidents. " B. rF. Snow, J " Smith, Secretary. L. " Austin, Treasurer. " J. W. Brown, Miss Alice Directress. - " Tamils Annul Rrpwrl. The present year terminates the first decade in the life of the " Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society," and it would be highly proper to take s somewhat particular retrospective view of its history during all these years; but unexpected circumstances have transpired to prevent your secretary from discharging her duties in this respect, so that a hasty glance at the past, present and future of our Society is all that can be achieved. The first anniversary of the Society found it in nometion of a fnnd of $8,000, the avails oft Fair, which hsd been held (and most liberally patronized by residents and seamen) for the Society's benefit. It is well known that that fund was already safely invested, and the income derived therefrom has been our largest dependence for subsequent disbursements. Fifty-seven ladies became members of the Society during the first year, and 36 persons received aid from the treasury during that year, the amount expended for them being 8564—the avails of memberships, work, and donations amounted to $726. So that, although so many had received aid to so large an amount, the treasury was " in funds" at the end of the first year. The second year, the memberships were 48; receipts all told, (including the balance in treasury,) 8996. The amount disbursed to the suffering during that year was $814, leaving a balance in the treasury of $182. Only 15 persons received aid during that yenr.but they were mostly cases of protracted illness. During the third year, the total receipts were $852 49, and the disbursements to 20 beneficiaries very nearly drained the treasury. Indeed the Society was obliged to contract a debt of $50 to meet an urgent case, within a very few days subsequent to its anniversary meeting. During the fourth year, the total receipts were $548 25, and the disbursements $493 62A, leaving 854 62J in the treasury. There were, during this year, an unusual number of applicants for aid—many more than the Society's income could possibly meet—but the limits which regulate the prerogatives of the American Consul having been somewhat extended by his Government just at that time, he was enabled to extend the hospitalities of the American hospital to several persons, who but for that, would have had no resourse, save our society. So that, to the best of our knowledge, no stranger within our gates suffered for lack of needed aid. The fifth, sixth and seventh years showed but small variations in their receipts and disbursements of the society, the average being about $550. At the eighth anniversary, only 20 ladies renewed their memberships for another year. The receipts of the treasury department had been $845, the disbursements $540, thus leaving quite a surplus in hand. By a vote of the Society, $250 of this sum was added to the fund already at interest, thus increasing the Society's means of extending aid to the sick and suffering stranger. The reports of theJSecretary and Treasurer at the ninth anniversary, showed the treasury of the Society to be in a healthy condition, although it had been actively employed in its legitimate object, and had aided an unusually large number of suffering strangers during the year. To-day brings us the tenth anniversary of our existence as a society. As we have taken a rapid review of the past, our hearts have swelled with sympathy as we have thought of the many cases of helpless suffering that have appealed to us for aid. Not a few of these came to our shores too much reduced in health to receive permanent benefit. Over the lonely graves of such, the tear of pitying strangers has fallen. Others again have gone forth from us, restored to health apd activity. Letters expressive of warm gratitude have sometimes been received from such, as well as from the surviving friends of those who have died in our midst. In several instances, the amount disbursed to individual cases has been refunded to the Society, when restored henlih enabled the recipients to take up the labors of life again. Our hearts are also stirred with gratitude towards all who have aided the Society by cheering words or substantial donations; by gratuitous medical attendance, and by those higher services continually bestowed by our Seamen's Chaplain, who has knelt beside our sick and dying, pointing them to the Savior of the world. A large number of ladies, who united hearts and hands with ours at the formation of the society, have left un from time to time for homes in other lands. The formation of the Benevolent Society, some years since, almost necessarily drew somewhat upon our numbers; although many ladies, with praiseworth zeal, continue to give their time and labor to both societies. F'rom the interest of the Society's fund, from avails of work, and from donations still continued, the treasury has been able to meet the large demands made upon it during the year. There has never been a year when the Society has seemed a greater necessity in our community than during the one just ended. The future well-being of the Society, under God, rests with the members. Experience has taught us that in this, as in all other useful operations, energy, promptness and self-denial, are essential to its successful prosecution. But the object we have in view, will abundantly warrant a large expenditure of these qualities. There should be n revival of interest among us—a fresh girding ol ourselves to the work of Christian philanthropy and benevolence. This is an important part of our woman's mission on earth. Let us resolre that naught save stern necessity shall detain us from the monthly meetings of the Society; that we will be present at the hour appointed for the commencement of the meeting, and that we will remember our own voluntary pledge to pay into the treasury the sum of twelve and a half cents at each meeting, when we fail to spend the time in sewing for the Society. May the list of memberships for the new year show a large accession of numbers. Respectfully submitted : A. W. Smith, Secretary. Honolulu. June 5, 1862. Luther's Wedding-Ring.—Black & Co. have in their store, in New York, the wedding-ring of Martin Luther. It is in capital state of preservation—contains Luther's name in Latin the date of the marriage, 25th June, 1525, and the ornamental parts show the coil, the ladder, the crucifix, the miter and other religious emblems. It has been repaired repeatedly on the inside; and the identity of the ring is complete. Several documents are connected with it to prove that it is genuine. It belongs to one of the chaplains of Gen. Blenker's division. "Miss" vs. "Mrs."—Out of 68,000 letters off by a regiment from Massachusetts, while stationed in Maryland. 26,000 were addressed "Miss" and 21,000 "Mrs." It is rather significant of the material of the regiment, (thirteenth,) that " Miss" receives so large a share of its letter writing patronage.

Massacre on Board the Sch. Ann Eliza. This vessel sailed from Boston on the 27th of January, and while making her passage through the Straits of Magellan, encountered serious difficulties among the natives of Patagonia—probably on account of the small number of the crew, (only six all told,) and their fancied inability to defend the vessel. We copy as follows from the Advertiser of July 31: " April 16th, was boarded by some Indians, the first we had seen. April 18th and 19th, abo"A twenty Indians came off to the vessel; they seemed to be very quiet and peaceably disposed. Aprd 20th, while getting under way, we saw them coming off again, thought nothing of it and went below. In a few moments the mate ran aft, calling for help; Captain Freeman seized his Colt's revolver, and started to go on deck, but was driven back with clubs and stones, one stone striking him on the shoulder, and another over the left eye which glanced and nearly severed the nose from his face, causing him to fall back stunned. When he came too, he found the 2nd mate in the cabin with him. While trying to ascend the companion way, to get a shot at them, Capt. F. was struck with two spears, one passing through his right arm, and the other through his left hand. He however succeeded in killing one Indian, and wounding two others, spears, stones, and arrows falling thick and fast around. " Capt. F. now armed the 2nd mntc with a bowie-knife to guard the companion-way, and opened the cabin window to get a sight at them forward, found them building a fire on deck, and throwing fire-brands into the sails and into the cabin. The sails being wet from ruin, did not readily ignite. From the window several effective shots at them were had, which succeeded in driving them off the deck, they taking the schooners boat, windlassbreaks, and other articles lying about the deck. "On going on deck it was found they had killed the mate, (Barnabas Cook, of Chicopee, Mass., aged 58.) and carried his body off. In the forecastle, a seaman was found killed, (Frank Joseph, a Portuguese,) and the cook badly wounded. It was now about half past BA. M. The 2nd mate, with what little help tne Captain could give, worked until 3 P. M., and finally succeeded in getting her underweigh, and put back for Sandy Point, (a Chilian settlement,) where they were kindly treated by the governor and doctor, the schooner remaining here until the sth of May, (15 days.) The Governor supplied the vessel with three seamen, a boat, chain and anchor, and 12 muskets. May 9th, anchored at the place where the assault was made, but the Indians had made good their retreat. On the 17th ofMay, the man at the wheel caught the schooner aback, the boom-tackle parting, the boom swung over and knocked him overboard. Every effort was made to save him, but without success, the sea running high. May 23d, saw a bark standing to the westward. At 3 P.

Humbolt remarks respecting a modern traveler of considerable note, that he has traveled the most and seen the least of any man he ever knew. Many other travelers might fall under the same severe criticism, when weighed in the balances of that man of science, who "drove all the sciences abreast" when he traveled over Mexico and South America. Each traveler, however, must be allowed to exercise his own fancy and taste lor observation. One sees what another overlooks. Our neighbor, Dr. Hillebrand, has just started for Hawaii, "armed and equipped" for a botanical excursion among giant ferns, and forest trees supporting creeping vines and parasites. Like Humbolt, we doubt not he will return laden with a vast amount of newly acquired knowledge in the various departments of Nature. We rejoice that there are men who make the Natural Sciences their peculiar study. It affords us pleasure to read the results of their laborious investigations. Success to these explorers of Nature's domains. Our observations may not partake of the " Scientific," but we do take great pleasure in " seeing sights," visiting the tops of mountains, beholding water-falls, looking out upon fields uncultivated and cultivated, and witnessing the manner in which the God of Nature has fitted up and adorned this terrestrial globe. A more intense delight, however, do we take in the study of the human race, and in observing the social, moral, intellectual and religious developments which arc ever rising to view upon the surface of society. We do not believe that there are many better positions than those afforded on the Sandwich Islands, for the study of mankind. About six weeksago we left Honolulu with our family, with the design of changing the scene, and benefitting by a few days' relaxation, and at the same time visiting Hilo, taking a peep at Pele, and on our return, touching upon Maui, whero we might witness the �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 186 2. 58 efforts of the hnd a pleasant land; and we tions to those We have Sugar Planters. and safe journey by sea and feel under very great obligakind friends, who have so essentially contributed by thair generous hospitality to make our journey delightful. thb sandwich islands in a transition state. This is the first thought suggested by a review of our trip. The old order of things is rapidly passing away. This idea was most sensibly impressed upon the mind on our landing at Lahaina. For many years, upon an average, between one and two hundred whaleships have visited that port for supplies, while last fall season the number was reduced to fifteen, and last spring to but three! The natural result has been, that every shipchandler has left, and the " land sharks" have departed. The U. S. Hospital has been removed to Honolulu, and the Rev. Mr. Bishop, the Seamen's Chaplain, has removed to another field ofministerial labor. The change at Lahaina is very great. It is highly gratifying that those who remain, both foreigners and natives, are resolutely turning their intention to the cultivation of sugar-cane, and in a few months the sugar-mill will be in successful operation. The land of Lahaina is very rich, and admirably suited to the cultivation of cane. Not only do the non-visits of whaleships affect Lahaina, but all those neighboring localities, from whence supplies were derived for the Lahaina market. The very same results arc manifest at Hilo. There, a similar fulling ofTof trade has taken place, and with similar results. At first there is a feeling of discouragement, but the people are recovering from that state ofmind, and are now turning their attention to other means of obtaining a livelihood. All parts of the islands are materiilly affected, but now it is to be seen whnt are the internal sources ofwealth. In conversing with farmers, planters, merchants and missionaries, it is gratifying to learn that all are buoyant and hopeful in regard to the future. The honest and hard-working laborer is to be rewarded. Some crops are sure. The people surely have no occasion to complain, so long as they can produce, sugar, rice, wheat, coffee, kalo, butter, beef, mutton, wool, and many other articles for home consumption and foreign trade. INTER-ISLAND NAVIGATION. It has been our privilege, or rather our fate, to sail from island to island on native schooners. In former years the annoyances and inconveniences were very great. They must be ex|>erienced to be appreciated! We record the fact with unmingled emotions of delight that, of late years, there has been a great improvement in both vessels and their navigation. The two vessls, Maria and Nettie Merrill, plying between Honolulu and Hilo are, in every respect, superior vessels compared with those of former years. Both these vessels ore commanded by excellent captains, who do all in their power to make their passengers comfortable. We returned on board the Steamer, and were delighted with the accommodations imd attendance. We do hope, for the public good, that this vessel will be kept running until her place shall be supplied with another equal, if not better. There is one fact which we deem worthy of note, while on board the Nettie Merfill, Maria, or KUauea, we did not hear a single profane oath. We can also add that, during our whole trip, we only heard profanity in a very few instances. We should be most happy in the thought, if from this circumstance, we were authorized to draw the inference that the wicked, inexcusable and low practice ofprofane swearing was disappearing from our island community. It is a practice which cannot be too severely reprobated and frowned upon by every virtuous mind. It chills raj blood to hear the Blest Supreme, " Rudely appealed to on each trifling theme." SUGAR PLANTATIONS. We have elsewhere referred to the plantations in the district of Hilo. On leaving Hawaii, we landed at the new plantation of Haiku, under the management of G. E. Beckwith, Esq. The mill was in full operation, and finishing offthe cane-crop of 1862. The yield has exceeded the expectations ofthe proprietors of this thriving plantation. The profits of this year, we understand, are to he expended in enlarging the operations of the establishment. More land is to be brought under cultivation, and the works in the mill are to be enlarged and improved. Under the efficient management of Mr. Beckwith, this plantation bids fair to prove always a paying concern. We rode wilh him through the extensive cane-fields, and were delighted with the system and order everywhere apparent. We found the mill and boiling apparatus under the skillful management of our old friend and school-mate, Mr. Bailey, of Wailuku. Some thirty years ago, more or less, we sat side by side in the .same school room, in the very heart ofold Massachusetts. It was pleasant to meet him once more and rehearse the story of childhood. We would add, that the proprietors of the Haiku are deeply interested in the sugar refining works, now in process of erection in Honolulu. It speaks well for them, that they are ready to invest their capital, and introduce every possible improvement which science and skill have applied to the manufacture of sugar. From Haiku, we rode in a mule cart belonging to the plantation, over to Wailuku. At this locality we found foreigners and natives planting cane, under the confident expectation that a sugar mill would be erected, either there or in the vicinity. That region abounds with much good cane-lands, similar to that of Waikapu, where there was such an enormous yield this season, and where Mr. Louzada is now making preparations to erect a steam mill, and commence grinding in December. Crossing the low land between East and West Maui, we visited Ulupalakua, or fiose Ranch, now occupied by oui old friend, Capt. Makee, who is cultivating cane very extensively, nnd erecting n sream mill, to which are attached all the modern improvements for the manufacture of sugar. His mill is just ready to commence grinding. We shall not attempt any minute discription of this superior mill, as we have been requested by Egoniet, correspondent of the Advertiser, not "to steal his thunder." The prospects of this plantation are very encouraging. We improved the opportunity to accompany the proprietor as he rode through his cane-tields and over his pasture lands, stretching abroad over hill and valley. The mountain air was cool and refreshing. It would be difficult to imagine an exercise more health-imparting and mind-refreshing than an excursion to the mountain region of Ulupalakua, where the cane never tassels, and the roses always bloom. There we met Mr. Unna, one of the propietors of the new plantation at Hana, who is expecting to commence grinding this Autumn. We regret that our limited time and other arrangements, did not afford us the opportu. nity of riding through the cane and wheat fields of Makawao. But from what we could learn, the prospects are encouraging. The wheat crop yields about 25,000 bushels. It is now about a quarter of a century since William Hooper, Esq., (now of San Francisco, and formerly member n§ the firm of Ladd & Co., Honolulu,) commenced the cultivation of cane at Koloa, on Kauai. He commenced under very discouraging circumstances. He could not hire laborers. No oxen were broken to the yoke. A plow had never been employed in the cultivation of the soil. The pilikias were numberless, but animated by true Yankee enterprise, he persevered, contriving to induce some natives to draw the flow! From that time to the present the cultivation of sugar-cane has been ptosecuted under varied success. The sugar culture however has become one of the estoblished departments of business, and according to present prospects, it will be enlarged. From a communication in s late No. of the Advertiser, written by N. L. Ingots, Esq., of Ulupalakua, we copy the following statement, respecting the sugar crop of 1862. It may not be correct in every particular, but it �will afford our readers with a general idea of the present stale of sugar-cane culture on the Sandwich Islands. HAWAII.

The lake, in I II X I'RIEM), A I MO 2,32,tonl Scenery. There is much which is really beautiful in the scenery of different parts of the islands. With the exception of Hanalei, on Kauai, and perhaps Waipio valley, on Hawaii, we should say that Hilo is the most beautiful spot. Hilo is decidedly the most tropically beautiful. There the bread-fruit, the pride-of-India, mango, and other tropical trees display their fair, beautiful and comely proportions to the best advantage. Let the visitor take his stand in the second story veranda ofthe Hilo Boarding School-house, and his soul must be wanting in an ability to appreciate the beautiful in nature, not to be pleased with the panorama stretching out before him. The bay, and surrounding There country are surpassingly lovely. being an absence of the strong trade winds, the trees are allowed to assume their natural form. The surface of the country does not stretch out in one unbroken level— neither is it broken up by unsightly nvfcls, but presents that beautiful undulating appearance which is always pleasing to the eye. The prospect from the water is equally gratifying and pleasant. If a person is delighted ivith mountain scenery, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea arc within the range of the visual organ. There is no mountain on the Sandwich Islands upon which we more delight to gaze than, standing at Mr. Bailey's at Wailuku, to look forth upon Haleakala, (The House of the Sun). We know not whether to admire it most when bare of clouds, and standing forth in all its giant grandeur, or when the clouds have thrown their drapery around it. In either case it is worthy of a trip to Maui. A late view of this noble mount reminded us of a visit we made to its summit in the summer of 1847. A sketch of that visit we published in the Friend of August 12, 1847. One incident connected with that visit will never be forgotten. While upon the summit of that mountain, 1844, was much' largo/ than at the present time, it now being, we should judge, five or six hundred feet square, and depressed one hundred feet below the ledge upon which the visitor stands. The surface of the lake i» continually changing its appearance. On the arrival of our party it was nearly coated over, like an immense sheet of frozen ice over a lake of water. Around the edges there was some action. In the course of an hour, however, nearly the whole surface was broken up and surging with prodigious force against the sides of the crater, and sending up jets of red hot lava forty or fifty feet. The surface of the lake would then subside and become quiet and darkened over by the lava cooling several inches thick, but perhaps in a few moments, it would again break up, rolling and surging in a most frightful manner. As we were rambling over the hard fields of lava, rough, black, waste, and thrown up into every variety of form and misshapen appearance, we were occasionally meeting with the twig of a fern, the seed of which had found a lodging-place in the crevice or fissure of the lava. There the little plant seemed struggling for existence. It is Dr. Gurthrie, or some other writer, who has aptly compared such little plants, amid the wild Never was it our privilege to be more favorably situated to appreciate the beauty, force and sublimity of the old Hebrew poet. There are many valleys upon the islands presenting scenery of surpassing beauty, but we know of none excelling that of the valley of Wailuku, which it was our privilege to visit, in company with a choice company, on a picnic excursion. After ascending the valley for several miles, the visitor enters a spacious amphitheatre of lofty hills or mountain ridges, terminating in sharp peaks, but clothed with verdure to their very summits. Frequent showers create numerous rivulets, which unite to form the Wailuku river—one of the largest streams upon the islands. Portions of Bryant's Forest Hymn are most aptly wastes of lava, to those plants ofrighteous" ness*' which are springing up amidst the descriptive of this spot: "Fit shrine for humble worshipper to hold ruins and desolate fields of this sin-smitten Cummuuion with his Maker. Here are seen world.

Only two days ago, we received the following from the Rev. Mr. Emerson, Waialua, Oahu: • have had a feast and to-day meeting We " commemorative of the residence of the Pastor and a preached gospel at Waialua for the post thirty years. A full house and a good time, many speakers, and many subjects broached if not discussed. One speaker took this topic, "Our friends, who are they?" He left no doubtful impression in respect to his own opinion. Such meetings, I think, will do good, and are needed at the islands." We must not expect too much of Hawaiians, or Americans, or Englishmen, or Chinese ! The Rev. Asa Thurston.—We learn that this venerable father of the American Mission on these islands will sail in the Comet for San Francisco, accompanied by his wife. Mr. Thurston has been suffering for some months from a paralysis, which has partially affected his mental faculties. He has now resided upon the islands over forty years, having landed here in IS2O. During this long period, he has never visited any other group of islands or America. He has never removed from the locality where the Mission first assigned his station, viz., Kailua, Hawaii. It was there that Messrs. Bingham, Thurston, Whitney and others, first met the King and chiefs, in the spring of 1820, although the brig Thaddens first touched at Kuwaihae, Mr. Thurston has upon the same island. always been a faithful and laborious missionary ; conscientiously and quietly pursued the ordinary routine of parochial life among the people. Almost the only change that he experience! has been an annual visit to Honolulu, when the Missionaries held their Annual Meeting. He would not take the present voyage, only that friends and medical advisers have urged him to It. We would merely add that Mr. and Mrs. Thurston, and Mrs. Whitney, of Waimea, Kauai, are the only survivors upon the islands of the first company of American missionaries. Mr. Bingham, now residing at New Haven, Ct., belonged to the same company. We cannot refrain from expressing the hope, and offering the petition, that Mr. and Mrs. Thurston may derive incalculable good from their trip. Their point of destination, in California, will be Columbia, where resides the Rev. T. E. Taylor, who married their oldest daughter. , By the Daily Palladium, of June 26, published in New Haven, Ct., we learn that Mr. A. Francis Judd, of Honplulu, and Thos. G. Thurston, of Kailua, graduate at Vale College the coming Anniversary with high honors, in a class of one hunelred. �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1862. THE FRIEND. AUGUST 9, 1862. | From Harper's Monthly for June.| Editor's Drawer. What part of the world where the English language is read does not enjoy the Drawer ? Now and then a letter from China tells of the pleasure it carries to the Universal Nation whose wondering sons and daughters dwell among the celestials. We have had tidings from the interior of Africa, and here comes one from the middle of the Pacific Ocean, bringing testimony to the virtues of the Drawer and telling a story besides. A correspondent in Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, writes to us, and is pleased to say : " Even here in these isles of the sea the Drawer of Harper's Magazine is an inslitution. We regard it a sovereign remedy for the blues, and take it both when we have One Million Pounds of Rice in Two Years, from one and a half Pounds! While the attention of the community is called to the rice-culture, it is interesting to notice from how very small beginning the present crop of rice has been obtained. Mr. Holstein, curator of the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural grounds, in Nuuanu Valley, made the following statement in the Advertiser of July 24: 1 procured direct from South Carolina in the" year 1860. two pounds of the most approved South Carolina rice ; planted August I lth, one pound and a half, and harvested Dec. 29th 40 pounds. In March, 1861, Dr. Ford received from me four pounds, nnd before the end of November, 3,800 lbs. of seed-rice were received from this garden ; and it is but fair to estimate that the 1J lbs. will yield by August 11, over a million pounds of superior rice." them and when we haven't, so that it does Rice was first raised at the close of the us good at all times. I send you a little story 17th century in South Carolina, from seed of our Governor. You know the old song ; brought from Madagascar—so says the Cyclowise men of Gotham *' * Three pedia of Commerce, by Homans. Went to sea in a bowl ; If the bowl hail been stronger, My song had been longer.' and Dr. had occasion to go to the Island of N Kauai, the land of sugar and coffee. They returned in a schooner, nnd among the passengers was the Governor of the island, who was coming to visit the metropolis—this great city of Honolulu. The Governor is a native, and so was the Captain of the schooner—a lirst-rate seaman as long as land is in sight. There came up a gale that blew them off; and having no compass, and a short supply of provision, they were soon in a sad plight indeed. On and on for nine days they sailed, when they ought to have been in port in two. The Judge and the Doctor thought it about time to take matters into their own hands or they would all be starved to death; for neither law nor physic would save them without something to eat. They deemed it proper to ask the Governor what he thought best to be done. His Excellency took the subject into consideration, and, with great sagacity, remarked : " 'Well now, as we are. lost, I think we had better go back to where we started from.' " The poor Captain would have been but too happy to comply with the Governor's suggestion, had there been any such thing as knowing where that place was but that day a whaler hove in sight, and supplying them with provisions led them into port. They were actually on the way to America." "Two of our citizens, Judge A , ; A New Enterprise.—We are happy to learn that a Religious Society has been organized at Mission Dolores, and that the services of the Rev. E. G.

The Property of the Late Col. Colt.—The appraisers on ColonelSam. Colt's estate make the whole amount of hia property foot up over three millions of dollars. His property in the Western States and Texas, in England, and his lead mine* in South America, will probably add another million. Small-Pox among the Indians. 61 The Cariboo Gold Mines.—The Rev. Mr. Garrett thus writes in regard to the Cariboo mines :—" People here are in a feverish excitement. Young men, with soft hands and gentlemanly manners, are rushing to Cariboo to try their muscle! Many of them have a very curious idea of the nature of mining in British Columbia. They are this year to learn a lesson which many of them will not forget during the remainder of their lives. Of the existence of the gold, there can be no doubt; but of the existence of the amazing difficulties in the way of the mass of the miners, there can be as little. Gold is plenty in Cariboo, and provisions are tolerably cheap in Victoria, but those places are 500 miles apart, and the means of transit are expensive and slow, hence the gold considerably decreases its value when the physical wants of the miners are supplied." A New School-Book for Hawaiians.—The copy of a new Primary School-Book for the natives has just been issued by the Board of Education. It was prepared by Mr. Fuller, We are grieved to learn that the small-pox Chief Clerk of the Department, and printed has broken out among the Indians on the in Boston by Bazin & Elsworth, and contains north-west coast of America.

Judd and Wilder have just harvested their first crop of rice, and shipped it on board tbe Comet for San Francisco. Hating beard that the yield was very large, we bave requested the particulars, from these gentlemen, who bays kindly supplied them. Their laud is situated at Waiabole on the windward side of Oahu, in the Kooleu district, and embraced 88 taro patches, vhioh have been accurately surveyed, showing an area of 16 acres sad 802 feet. The yield of Ibis land was carefully weighed as it was put on board the Comet, and tarns oat 89,200 pounds or 6086} lbs. per acre Extraordinary aa this yield may appear, it would bave been much greater had not tbe grain on five acres been badly beaten down and rotted by a aevura rain storm, causing a losa on that tract of about one half Its yield. Had not this oasaality occurred, the produce of the 16 acres would have exceeded o%e hundred thousand pounds. There can be no mistake in this statement, and the experience of other rice growers in that vicinity will attest it. We congratulate Messrs. J. and W. on this result of their first attempt in rioe growing, and doubt not this new branch of industry will prove, in favorable localities, and under foreign management, the most remunerative orop that can be grown. We may state here, that advices received front the coast, say thai the grain heretofore sent to California has been cut too green, and that it will be much better for the rice and more remunerative to the cultivators, to allow it to ripen folly on tbe stalk, as is the practice with other ocreals.—Hdvertiur. ' The newly-appointed British Commissioner for these Islands, Mr. Sjnge, left New York in the Steamer of June 20, and immediately on his arrival stPanama, embarked on board a war-steamer direst for Honolulu. He may therefore reasonably be expected here within the next week, as it requires 40 days to make the passage from Panama. We may add an item in this connection, which will be of interest. The lady of the commissioner is an American, a sister of Major Wainwright, now commanding the U. 8. forces in New York harbor. Another brother is commander of the U. S. Steam Nloop of war Hartford, which was engaged in the recent attack on the forts below Mew Orleans, and encountered the rebel ram and fire rafts, at described in Harper's Weekly of the 7th June. Mrs. Synge is by marriage related to the wife of our townsman, Mr. H. W. Severance. Mr. Synge resided for many years at Washington where be was engaged as Secretary in the British legation.— lbid. (.

On our arrival at the Islands in 1842, it was ourprivilege to be welcomed to Dr. Wood's family, where we formed an acquaintance with the deceased, which subsequent years ripened into awarm friendship, hence we feel that we may be indulged in a fewremarks relating to her.
