The New Orleans Bee Of the 9Th inst. says; "
"This is noble ticket, strong in all its parts,
satisfactory to every section Of the State, and
which has already carried joy and exultation to the
bosom of every member Of the American party in
our city. II is ticket which viii bring forth the
entire strength Of the Order, which will command
a multitude of votes outside of the Order and will
be, we fully believe, elected by majority Of thou

ton adopted platform, which is welldigested
and satisfactory exposition of the doctrines and
sentiments of the American party in Louisiana

HosoLuLU, 18th May, 1855,
II. On board the 0bligado.
We arrived here on the 18th In the morning,
bringing the European mail, for which we waited at
Calao until the night Of the 18th April. We have
met the Forte, which left Callao on the Sd April,
and whose passage was somewhat longer than ours
The Admiral after waiting the arrival Of the packet
plying between San Francisco and this place, sailed

row, and shall then join the Anglo-French DIVISION
which has already almost assembled before the
bay Of Avathcha. The corvette Eurydice win touch
here in FIVE or six days, with the same destination
| suppose that towards the middle Of August you
will receive news of the affair at Petropolowski, as
| a ship will doubtless be despatched to San Fran
cisco Immediately after, to convey to the two gov
ernments intelligence OF the result, which can
hardly be doubtful this time, considering our forces
and the direction they will take.

have been reaped during next week. With few
exceptions, the wheat IL very fine, and the yield
large; oats are heavy corn very fine, and with
one two good rains In harvest, the crop must be
heavy. Grass has improved very much, and we
hope a fair crop win be made. Potatoes are doing
remarkably well; gardens are very line, and all
kind Of vegetables are in great abundance.
