ISLAND OF ASCENSION.

The following account of the Island of As
cension, was drawn up by Mr.. Campbell,
who visited it in the Cutter Lambton, from
Sydney and is the result of his observa-
tons on the island and its inhabitants.
taken from the Coonist newspaper.
(Concluded.)
Tortoise shell is the only article of
commerce, beside refreshments, such as
fowls, hogs, and vegetables, to be had at
this island. OF the first numbers are
sometimes taken, and are now caught in
nets made for that purpose, but it is only
within the last two years, that this has
formed an article of trade. During that
period there has always been some vessel
lying in either of the harbors collecting,
as 1t has been caught by the natives,
whose friendly disposition and indolcnt
HE has influenced many foreigners either
TO leave or run away from their ship and
settle among them. A short time ago
there were above forty of these foreigners.
Several of these, tired of idlcness, had
Ioned vessels trading among the islands.
At the time of my visit there were twenty
I'VE on the island. These live with the
different chiefs, who generally bcstow
'leIr daughters on their white friends,
VINO are expected to take part in their
wars; the conduct of many of these Eu-
fopeans is, however, any thing but praise
worthy, and will doubtless at some time
cad TO the destruction of the whole.
About twelve months ago, the surgeon
ana several seamen the London South
seaman Corsair, which was lost among
TIE Islands to the eastward, after suffering
great prlvatlons and being reduced to the
last extremity, arrived at this island in
whale boat on the northern side. Having
reused to give up the whale boat to the
.''le' on whose territory they had landed,
aProPosltlon was made among the differ
g r''t chiels, to kill all the white men then
N'nS on the island. Inhuman as this
,VSo'ullon was, it was Immediately agreed

would be impossible to say whether the
buildings have everbeen rooted -as there
are no means by which this can be ascer-
tanned, nor any holes in the upper part of
the walls, where beams or rafters may be
supposed to have been placed; no mortar
or cement has been used in the buildings.
Under ground, in the interior of the inner
building, are many vaults filled with hui
man bones but whether this has been a
place of ancient sepulturc, or of more
modern date, Is matter of con lecture, as
the examination of these remains of NOR
tally did not throw any light on this OBJ
scure point.
The present race can give no account
of these structures nor does it appear
that there are Hny traditions cxtant con-
corning them. The buildings, however,
are held sacred; and are supposed to be
the residence of q deity whose precincts
few of the natives have courage to enter.
1t is related that some one of the vaults is
full of tortoise shell, which is said to have
been offered to the deity of the place ::
but no presents, however costly or much
valued by these singular people, would
induce them to discover the place of its
conccalmcnt; giving as their reason, that
should any one tell where it was, not only
would that individual, but all the inhabi-
tants of the island be destroyed.
Opposite the building on the side front
ing the sea, is small harbor, and on the
point of the reef, on the left hand, or to
the eastward, and about quarter of a
mile from the land, strong abutment or
break-watcr is built; inside Of which a
vessel of considerable size might anchor !;
Oh the right hand, and not so far out, is
point of land sweeping in circular form
TO the left, many hundred yards in extent,
round which a strong abutment is likewise
built that part of it which is in front of
the building is wall of amazing strength,
fifteen feet high, lat in ruinous state !;
many of the stones of which it is COM
posed are nos less than four tons weight;
in the contre OF This wall is an original
Dor of less extent - then another wall as
strong as the former, the opening or gate
way of which is more to the left than the
above - hence, should the wind blow di-
rectly into the harbor, the sea could not
POSSIBLY injure any part of the inner struc-
lures this last wall is considerable dis
lance from the parapet cncircling the prin-
cipal building - to the westward of which
are many ruins of breast-works, and vari-
GUS other buildings, and one enclosing a
small pond or well, many fathoms deep,
the water of which is, however, salt, but
above the level of the sea - the whole
forming the labor of an age itself, in con-
templating which, the mind is filled with
establishment and wrapt in conjecture.

The Arrival Of Missionaries.

line drrtrdt OF Missionaries.
The first missionaries to these islands
arrived at Kawaihae, on Hawaii March
80, 1920, in the reign of Liholiho, and
soon after the battle which was taught at
kuamoo. They did not, as is sometimes
the case, land their goods without first
consulting with the chiefs but visited
Liholiho at Kailua to obtain his permits
sion, or refusal. After some hesitation,
the king consented to their request to
dwell at the islands. Humehume and
other natives had accompanied the mis-
sionarics from America.
They went on shore to look at the
country, and approaching to- the residence
OF keopuolani at Oneo, one of the ma
tives just mcntiond FASTENED forward and
standing outside of the house inquired,
''ls the chiefs place tabu:" TO which it
was replied, ono, it is not" Therefore
they went in and the native foreigner in
Producing them, said. ':These are the
priests of the most High God, and they
have come hither to proclaim to you the
name of the Being who made heaven and
earth. From this address to the chiefs
and men he was called Maoi, 1.-THE bold.l
He added also, "There will be- hereaf-
ter, the great day." He intended the 4
judgement day, but the natives UNDER
stood him to speak of great natural day
as approaching.
When they went to the beach at Kaa-
keakua, multitude of men and women
collected about them and when the for
cigners proceeded to the residence of the
chiefs the crowd still followed and took
the liberty of looking under the hats and
bonnets of the strangers, meaning and
giving by it no offence. They expressed
their surprise thus - "Strange indeed
their wives are white, and have hats
with a spout. Their heads are not as the
mems, shaped like the horned moon;
hats with brims turned up] their faces
are round and far in; their necks are
long they look WE'LL" From the length
of their necks and the depth of their
bonnets they were dcnominated, "Aioe-
oe," (the long neckcd.)
MIR. ThurstOn remained at Kailua, Mr..
Bingham and others resided at Oahu,
Mr.. Whitney and Mr.. Ruggles sailed to
Kauai.
The natives imbbed strange notions
when they first heard the word of God.
On hearing of God in heaven, Jehovah,
Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, they
conversed about it and 'becomng vain
in their imagination" Jehovah" said
they, sis Kane, IT Holy Spirit is
Kanaloa, and Jesus Christ is Maui" Thus
dark were their understandings. When
the missionaries implored a blessing on
their food, the men and women observing
that they closed their eyes and prayed,
exclaimed, "Why do the foreigners close
their cyes?" cit is" replied some of
them, "because they are sorcerers pray
ing us to DEATH" In regard to other
things they fell into similar errors.

any cxcmplifcation of it, we have it at
hand in the dongs of the IIarrisburgh
convention. This is not fit occasion to
attempt any sketch of that convention,
but the result shows the working of re-
publican principlcs--that men can cheer
fully give up personal preferences for the
good of the country. 1t is a beautiful
illustration of the force of principle, and
shall stand in the place Of thousand ar
gumcnts to prove the soundncss of rcpub-
icansm in America. This convention
will be long remembered, and the lesson
it teaches is full of interest and full of hope.
Many who had watched the course Of the
administration, and observed the arttul
manner in which they attempted to carry
out their designs, began to fear. They
saw, or thought they saw, that the interest
of the nation was not the first obcct-that
their great object was power, and that to
obtain this, the people were insensibly
drawn into the support, not Of principles,
but of men. For time it seemed their
success was certain. Men every where
appeared to take delight in the success OF
their leaders, and to be insensiblc to the
outrages they were committing to obtain
the ascendency. But fear has now givcr
place to confidence. We know that the
great mass is sound, and though it may
take long time to bring all back to the
true republican ground of principle,
and not men," yet it can be done. PEG.
pie arc beginning to see they have erred
and conviction of this is the best guar.

has caused the news to lag, and will con-
tinuc to since it is understood that the
rout between Washington and Newly orl

hours longer for its conveyance between
those places, in consequence of the in
creased compensation demanded by the
