The SANDwIsH IsLAEDs.-The New
York Times is decidedly in favor of the an
nexation of the Sandwich Islands to the o.
nited States and gives some very urgent rea-
sons whyit should be done. 1t says that OF
all insular possessions, none save Cuba it.
sc.f, is more desirable. 1t would be very
great benefit to our whalers, our traders and
the sugar-cating population of our Pacific
States, who would all glory in the gain, and
avail themselves of the new facilities opened
for trade and wealth. And as station to
a future line of Chinese steamers, they will
fall into the hands of some other power
perhaps a commercial rival. The project
Of acquisition, too, is surrounded by few
difficulties, as the present authorities of the
of the Island are dcsirous of II change,
and there is no slavery embarrass-
ments surrounding the question to make it
bone of contention between the States.

The IIoCKING VALLEY RAILRoAD.-We
notice in the Columbus Journal, a call Tor
the citizens of that city to meet at the CITY
Hall. ITO take into consideration the proprl-
ETY. of extending railroad from Columbus
to the Coal Mines and Salt and Iron Works
on the Hooking river, near NelsonVille' -
AS the next general meeting to advance the
prospects of the proposed road, is to be held
in this city, on the 18th inst, would it not
be we'll for some of our leading railroad men
to adopt some measures to have full at
tendance, and at the same time obtain ad-
dresses from those men who are well ac-
quainted with the quantity and quality ot
minerals, &C., along the Hooking Valley
The distance, from Columbus to Athens, we
suppose will reach about 70 miles, and it is
thought that the entire line can be graded
for about $7O0, 900. We have seen it stat
cd, we know not upon what authority, that
ifLancaster and the county below will raise
$3oO,O0O, the road can be completed Blu
these facts will appear more fully at the pro
posed meeting, and until that time we defe
any remarks as to the probable cost OF th'
enterprise, its character and importance
At that time, we doubt not, men fully poste'
pwill be present, to give the facts and hs
hres to those who attend.

Hoes AND CATTLE.-Two houses are now

advance in Pork, impaired firmness to the
market, and it would be difficult TO purchase
good corn fatted Hogs for less than S5,25 p

here from Kentucky, and we noticed number

LocoForo REJOICING Ono would llink,
says the Ohio State Journal, to hear the Lo-
cofoco rejoicing and growing over the de-
feat Of General ScOTT, that he had fought all
his life against his country instead of for,t:
that the American people had wounded the
heart of ar enemy instead of friend who
has shed his blood for them: that they had
elected somebody to be proud of, in lieu of
him: they might infer that it were really
something to crow over and rejoice at to see
the most famous and faithful defenders and
guardians of our liberty in the Senate and
in the field, bowing their heads, one after
another, in sorrow, under heavy and pain
full sense Of popular ingrattude. As if it
were really good thing to give such votes
as shall say to all young men now forming
their character, and to all future generations,
that no amount Of talent, no self dcnials, no
fidelity, however great, however long con-
tinued, however glorious in the service Of
the people, shall open road to the honors OF
public station. So let it be. Let those
who can rejoice at such result, rejoice
now, for ~

~ It seems thatreal I.ocofoco enmity to
Rivers, Harbors, and other great schemes of
internal improvement, is almost impossible
to overcome We notice that the Lake Su-
perior Journal is very severe OIL the conduct
of Gov. McClelland, of Michigan, who, as
it aflirms, has allowed himself to become the
enemy Of the proposed canal around the
Falls. The offensive act is charo ctprized as
"high handed trick for the destruction of
the canal prospects" and it appears to con-
sist in the appointment ofa person, agent,
to select the 7.j0 900 acres that are to be de-
voted to the buiiling Of the great work, who
is an avowcd enemy to the enterprise. itis
supposed to be the design ofthose uHfayora-
bic to this project to iocate the lands where
they are least valuable or worthless, cnl

"Iocoroco Principles. THE masses of
this county have undoubtedly workedha
to secure the election of Frank Pierce; we
mean those who think the word "Democra-
cyH has something in it, as applied nova
days, besides mere sound. But if they will
lust stand aloof and look at the Kilkenny
fight going on at the present time for the
spoils of office, among those who called up
on them with all the energy of frightened
men to save the party from ruin, they will
discover that what Calhoun once said of
these leaders, is still correct-"they are
held together by the cohesive power of pub
lie plunder." Even before the official re-
suit is known, dozen candidates are out for
the Post-office and one or two for State
Marshal. The Great Demagogue, of course,
is in for high place at Washington. but
what it is, is immateria!, provided it pays
we'll, 1t rather remarkable, however, that
amid the general recommendations for place
and power, none of the Eagles "dear Ger
man and Irish friends" are named in connec-
ton with any office worth having. Their
votes all come well enough; but an applica-
ton for anything higher than constable of
the Court House or something of that sort, is
secuted at as unreasonable. In this township
for instance, we believe the German and
Irish Democratic votes outnumber the other
class, and yet they are scarcely ever named
In connection with an Office, county, state
or national. Like in New Hampshire, their
votes come in play very well about election
times, but what is there prohibited by con-
stitutionaI enactment, is law here by general
consent. But after all there will be several
disappointed aspirants. 1t is not every one
that the people have rejected, who will get
nm appointment from Gen. Pierce.

no longer any donlt OF the popularity of the
"Nephew of his Uncle" How long it will
last, is another question, and which time a.
Ious can disclose. He is well received, al
most everywhere in France, by the people,
and general desire is manifested that ne
should usurp the title, dignity and power
of Emperor. He has more brains, undoubt-
edly, than were generally awarded to him

CoTToK FROM AFRIcA.-H is said THAT the
black gentlemen who rule the coast Of Afri-

speak encouragingly of the trade. May it
continue to prosper, and put stop to the

RELEASE OF A 3D. Ell KADER. When Louis
Napoleon passed through Amboise, where
the Arab Chief had long been confined, the
President sent for the Arab and addressed
him as follows:
ga bd-el Kader, come to announce your
liberation toyou. You will be conducted to
Broussa, in the Sultan's dominions, so soon
as the necessary preparations shall have
been made and you will receive there an in
come suitable to your former rank. For
long time, you know your captivity gave me
unaffected pain, for it continually reminded
me that the government which preceded me
had not keptits engagements made with an
unfortunate enemy; and in my eyes nothing
is more humiliating for the government of a
great nation than to mistake it's strength so
much as to fail to keep its promises. Cen
erosity is always the best counsellor, and
am convinced that your residence in Tur-
key will not initiate against the peace OF our
African possessions. Your religion, like
wise, teaches submission to the DEGREES of
Providence. And if France is master of
A lgeria it is because God designed it so, and
the nation will never renounce that con-
quest. You have been the enemy of Franco,
but do not less rcnderjustice to your cour-
age, to your character, to your resignation in
misfortune. This is why desire the honor
of ending your captivity, having full conf
dence in your word"
Abd-el Kader expressed his gratitude to
Louis Napoleon. and solemnly swore upon
the Koran not to renew troubles in Algiers.
