4 Remarkable Voyage,

Capt. w. It. Walker, late of ship Envoy,
of this port, returned home yesterday from
San Francisco, where he left bis ship after
disposiug of her cargo at that port The
Envoy was formerly employed in the whale
fishery from Providence, and had been well
used up in the service, when in lS47 she was
purchased at comparatively trifling cost by a
merchant OF this city, with the purpose OF
reft:ing her for the same business This de-
sign was, however, abandoned, owing to her
great size aud the difficulty Of obtaining a
suitable person to take command of her, and
she was at length stripped and sold to Mr..
VIM. o. Brownell, dealer in old junk, for
the sum of 1925, to be broken up Her new
purchaser, however. conceived the idea Of re-
fitting her for sea. aud having done So. lac for
tunately engaged Capt. Walker to command
her, the Captain becoming the purchaser of
one quarter Of the ship, and the Envoy ac-
cordingly sailed from this port, July I2, l84s
on a whaling voyage, and proceeded, 10 tho
Island of Whytooiacke, where Capt. w. had
on previous voyage stored 200 bbls of oil,
which he had pu chased ut "A merely nominal
price from IA wrecked vessel
Having taken on board the 900 bbIs of oil.
Capt.s w. next proceeded to Manila. and
shipped the oil thence to London, where it
was sold netting to IFS owner. the sum OF
50 900. From Manila, the Envoy proceed
ed TO cruise for whales to the North Pacific
Ocean, where in the short period Of ff five
days she took 2, 600 bbls. of whale oil, and re-
turned to Manila in the fall of 40; and thence
again shipped to London 800 bbs Of oil
aud 10000 lbs. of whaiebone, which netted
$3.50 or S37,5o0. The Envoy again sailed
for the Pacific, and during the last season
| took $4,000 bbls. Of whale oil aud 35 600 lbs.
of whaIebone, (ncluding, with the oil prcvi-
ousiy on board 3,5OO,) and the whole amount
Of catchn 5 having been 1000 bbls Of whale
oil aud 1900 lbs of whaiebone.
/ The Envoy then proceeded to San Fran
cisco, where she arrived on the 9th Of Nov.
and Capt. w. there sold %, 600 gallons of oil
at 81 per gallon, and the remainder of the
cargo $4,000 gals.) at 81 cents per gallon
The whalebone worth So, 500 has been ship
ped home in the brig P. NJ. Prescott FOR Bos

holds the refusal of offer Of $4,000 for b,

Personal Us. Political Prelude Q.

Ifthere is a sin to be condemned among po-
litical parties, it is that of personal prejudice
guiding the mind inits opposition to an indlvld-
ual for pretended political reasons, even when
the individual who suffers from this prejudice, is
of the same party, and a jealous member and an
untainted politician. We do not believe that
those persons who entertain this prejudice are
themselves aware of it, but really believe that
they are honest in their convictions and their
| sentiments, that their opposition is based upon
correct principle,-that til for the good of the
party they are attached to, and that they are
guilty of no dereliction of right, are not swayed
by 4 wrong motive, and are not deviating from
the path of strict party adherence, for personal
reasons.
fla man suddenly comes before the public
for any Office of honor, and in connection with
which his lame has not hitherto been %associa-
ted, we should first consider his qualifications,
his i" honesty, capacity and fidelity" and if they
are satisfactory, then his availability; we
should by all means avoid, first, jumping upon
little errors or eccentricities of character, which
create at best nothing more than an unpopular
lame for the gentleman; we should strictly
look into him, and excluding from our minds
all personal dislikes or prejudices, ask our
selves if he could, if elected, comport himself
with dignity and respect, and whether his Ia
1antS ora of on order calcu1atad to hove ,;oirb+
at least, and be of service to his constituents,
and to his country.
These are the only considerations which, to
our mind, the patriotic bosoms of any party
should entertain towards one of their own
ranks, who has Unexpectedly, and unlocked for
by himself, been placed in a very high and no.
norable position. Whatever our predictions
our interests, our feelings, when such an indi-
didnal is fairly in the field by the expressed
choice of a large portion of the fellow citizens
of his own party, certainly it is our duty as
Wings not only to lose all previous antipathies,
but to enlist our whole energies towards ef-
fecting his election. These are our humbly
but freely expressed sentiments, upon a SUBJ
ject which has had some weight in this Parish,
diyulge for no selfish purposes of our own;
but on the contrary, springing from that only
true and legitimate source which should prompt
the faithful editor-the desire to do right, for
the benefit Of The people and Of his party, in the
manner in uhich he understands 1t.

Mr.. Adams appointed to the Col.
l~ectorshtp,

1t will be seen by a statement i'll to-day's pa
per, from the Picayune, that the Hon. c. ADAMS,
Jr., of this Parish, has been appointed to the Col
lectorship in New Orleans, vice FRERET, removed.
1t seems to be conceded as a fact by the other pa
pers of the city. The President certainly could
not have selected a more competent person tor
this important office. We have repeatedly allu-
ded to the great business capacities of Mr.. ADAMS,
and he is now in a field where these imperative
qualifications to success will not only be brought
fully into activity, but other of equally if not su-
perior value, which this gentleman possesses, and
which are essential if not indispensable to this
office: here will be required to be displayed a vi
GLANCE and determination, astuteness and fine per-
ceptibility, which will admit of no procrastina-
ton; and a judgment, scrutiny and decision, on a
grand and expansive scale, both in reference to
men and things, not elsewhere required in the or
binary routine Of personal avocations. In all
these requisites, the gentleman who is said to have
received the above appointment stands pre-emi-
nent among those acquainted with his life amp
character; and if he accepts, will, we are assured,
make a most excellent Government officer, if not
a popular one among those with whom his duties
bring him in conncxion. But, with all men who
admire stern integrity-a firm, courteous, straight
forward, unwavering, truthful course-Mr. AD-
ANS cannot fail to be held in the highest esteem.

GLORIOUS MIsslss1pP1!-The New Orleans
Bee thus exultingly speaks of the glorious tidings
which the late news from Mississippi gives to
the Union men throughout the Union:
"The intelligence from our sister State is unex-
pectedly cheering. We had INDUCED the hope
that the cause of the Union would triumph in
that commonwealth, but we had certainly no idea
that the defeat of the Secessionists would be so
sweeping and signal. From dispatches which
have been received, it appears that returns from
thirty-six counties-about two-thirds of the State
-shew a popular majority in favor of the Union
candidates for the Convention, of about 5000; and
that Of seventy-one members elected, sixty-four
are Unionists; and seven State Rights men. This
is a glorious consummation, for which we have to
thank the gallant FoorE and his associates. who,
struggling against the vast popularity of Gen.
QuIrMAN, have proclaimed the words Of soberness
and truth in every county in the State; have sus-
tanned the wisdom and justice of the Compromise,
battled manfully for the Union, and rebuked the
madness and folly of those who would sever it.
Nobly has the State responded to their appeals,
and terrible is the blow which her stout m
ry have dealt to the mischievous faction which
strove 10 lead her blindless and recklessly to the
of ruin.

SuaAR-NEw SYsTEM.-We some time since
announced the discovery by a citizen of Baton
Rouge, says the Baton Rouge Advocate, of a new
system for the manufacture of Sugar. We are
happy in being able now to give some additional
information on the subject, though not SO full as
we desire.
Mr.. WRorSosK1, the inventor, has just obtained
a patent "for fourteen years, for the purpose of
perfecting the fabrication and refining of sugar"
He proposes to make the kettle sugar white, and
the Molasscs obtained from the same will be per-
fectly clear.
He is now establishing a small sugar refinery,
as a model of this system, and one of our heavi-
est planters has already adopted it for the coming
season. In a short time we will furnish our read
ers with fuller description.
