SANDWICH IsLANDs-ANNEXATION.

AS we have for some time anticipated, the pre-
sent important position of the Hawaiian Islands,
as the half way house, between our new and al
most illimitabe acquisitions on the Pacific coast
and the extended regions washed by the Chi
nese Sea, has attracted the interested attention
of numerous foreign powers, who are evidently
casting longing eye towards the possession of
this gem on the bosom of the great Pacific
ocean. The French Government have, in repeat
ed instances, within the past two years, manifest
ed an itching palm in this matter, and their overt
acts of violence towards the weak and inoffens-
i've government Of the Islands, has already indu-
ced the Intervention of our own government in
its behalf, ut least, so far as to swarm off all
squatting intruders upon the sovereignty of his
Hawaiian majesty.
A late Washington letter to the Journal Of
Commerce says: liey H tarrf
II has been thought possible that difficulty
would arise between the United States and
France, in reference to the Sandwich Islands
Should France, persist in the demands she made
on those Islands, and enforce them, as she has
threatened to do, it will create, of course ques-
ton Of very serious Importance between that
government and this. ta
We also learn from late and authentic sources
that our Government has given assurance to the
authorities of the Sandwich Islands that their
independence shall be preserved.
The settlement of the Pacific coast by Ameri-
cans, and the more frequent commercial inter-
course with Asia which is to result from it, will
expedite the settlement of the Sandwich Islands
BY our people. A line of steamers is already
established or projected between San Francisco
and these islands.
1t is well known that the authorities of the
Islands wish to make the people of the United
States their heirs and successors, and that their
sovereign has been invested with power to place
the Islands under the protection of the United
States in case of any emergency.
Under these circumstances, it appears certain
that the Sandwich Islands must, at no distant
day, become inhabited by the people of the Uni
ted States, and be under the protection Of the
United States Government
That they will also be politically connected
in some form with the U. S. is very probable, as
their distance from San Francisco is only twen-
ty-one hundred miles, and as they are in the
track of our trade to Asia, and on the route of
our whaling vessels.
Whether France will undertake to expedite
this result by enforcing her threats in regard to
these islands, is an interesting question.

aCHIvALRY" AT A DISCOUNT.

The dispraceful scene in the United States
Sanote between Messrs Rhett and Clemens,
can hardly be a subject of regret, since it has
shown that there is one mar, bred even under
the fervid sun of the old South State, who dares
brave public opinion, and disappont public ex-
pectation, by refusing to participate in duel

mode of healing wounded honor, 1t would be

upon the floor of the Senate, Senator khett mas
vet had the moral courage to declare, that he
feared God more than man, and would ralher
encounter the opprobrium OF the latter, than
dare the anger Of the former. And that, TOO,
when truly chivalric and sensitive nature was
writing under the bitterest words that were
ever uttered in such place and on such an &C.
casion The Senator from South Carolina may
have been an indiscreet, but he has certainly
been fearless and consistent advocate OF the
peculiar doctrines of his own state, even when
his voice was alone heard in their defence. That
he will lose caste at home, by the course ne has
taken. there can be little doubt Duelling is al
most rs much "pecular institution" of the

wear that stain forever, in the eyes OF those who
can understand no bravery but that which nerves

But with those who believe in another and
far nobler courage, the refusal to comply with a
savage though imperious custom, will 60 far to
cover multitude of" secession" and dsunlon

How whitening was the rebuke OF the exasper-
ated Albanian, in the few words which express
ed the calm determination of the christian egs-
lator and statesman! We are not the eulogist
of the Senator from South Carolina. His course
has been by no means faultless one; yet in this
matter, he has challenged and should receive the
commentator of every rght-thinkng man. 1t
is time that public opinion should frown down
a practice which has robbed our country OF some
of its wsest and best and it behooves the ex-
ponents of that opinion to improve an opportu-
nifty, like the present, of speaking out boldly
and promptly in its apprehension. Laws will
never prevent it; for he who will deliberately
seek anothers life, can have little regard for any
law, human or divine. Let it become as dis
graceful as it is inhuman and unchristian and
we shall mourn no more Hamitons and Cilleys,
nor will we again have to record words OF vitu-
peration and insult, such as only the hope OF

His Imperial Royal Apostolic Majesty, the
Emperor of Austria, thus teaches his subjects a
lesson in poiteness:
GA young shopman has just been sentenced
to twenty blows with stick, heavy irons for a
week, and enrolment in punishment company
to work in a fortress, for not taking off his hat
in the streets as the Emperor returned from a
review. There was apparently not the smallest
reason to suppose that the omission was inten-
tionai, the young man having voluntarily en-
planned that he was so taken with the sudden
Sight of the horses and uniforms in the caval-
cade that he totally forgot everything else. The
sentence, however, was enfored as an example.

declared that be could not bear the infection of

years ago, of a California emigrant, who crossed
the plains con foot and aone," with wheel
barrow, conveying all his earthly goods, that is,
his provisions, clothes, tools, &c, in that humble
vehicle, and outstripping in his march numbers
who started for the land of gold with more
SNOWY and expensive appointments. His name
was Brookmirc, and he is an Irishman by birth.
His residence is in Warren, Pennsy lvania, where
he left wife and family of children in very in
digent circumstances when he went over the
Rocky Mountains to " try his fortune" Brook
mire has lately returned from California, with
about $4,000 of the dust, all of which he dug
and washed out with his own hands. And as it
is very apt to pour when it rains, his wife receiv-
ed legacies during his absence to the amount of
$4,000, falling to her upon the death of some
relations in Scotland.

a. The following article from the Detroit
Free Press, colnmends itself to the notice of
our readers in this neglected part Of the State,
and should rouse to action those of us who
possess means and influence, to hasten the con-
struction of road to connect us with the " rest

dant natural resources of the North, opening to
settlement vast tracts of the choicest land, now
held, unproductive, by the Government-for the
want of an outlet to market. Railroads Gre
ate business where none existed before, and cap
italsts may be convinced of this, by reference
to the statistics of the Galena and Chicago Rail-
road, which paid IA per cent on the cost, when
only extended So miles. The produce of the
northern counties, to say nothing of travel,
would furnish all the business the road could
do, as they advanced in population, keeping pace
with the increase of business on the line of
such a road as is anticipated, and for which,
Congress is now legisating:
