made to erect a bridge over the river of Destruction
(Wailuku) But our war administration has brought
every thing to a Il military halt. We, here, could have
endured all this and much more, for we are loyal,
and perhaps finally been led to admire the splendid
tactics introduced into the Bureau of Public Works,
had the Wailuku bridge first been finished upon which
we had SO much set our hearts. This river, you must
know, skirts our lovely town and for many weeks
during each year cuts off all travel from the richest
portion of our district, on account of freshets. and
what is worse, succeeds In immolating a victim or
two during the same period.
There was ample appropriation made by the last
Legislature to complete the bridge, and we in the in
tensity of our desire to see it finished, cannot discern
the propriety of ~diverting al the public money to
other uses-even to so important a matter as the mil
itary. For my part I'm sure 1 should feel consoled
under these grevious circumstances ifI was positively
assured that the JackGss Artillery, which played so
eminent a part in the Hon. Secretary's report, have
taken the field. Doubtless you have an abundance of
material IN Honolulu for such a regiment-if not, the
Legislature or that part of it which acted upon the
suggestion would be just the stuff. Please let us know
about this company of invincibles. Also the prospects
for the bridge-We are intensely anxious about these
matters. Yours &c., SC. Huo.

hat, requests me to inquire if them +" Ambulances''

gestion ever made by mani why he says, "I
have dreamed a hundred times since I read that story
about the Ambulances* of being piked in battle and
then trudged off in that vehicle with my body on one
side and my head on the other side. twas plain as
daylight I have advised him to apply to govern
ment for a pension. He feels consoled, knowing the
state of the treasury.

SIR In your No. of Oct. 10th, it seems you are
inclined to think that the 9 Bureau of Public Works
is not IN the proper hands, Perhaps not. We, in
this remote region, have no means of knowing the
efficiency OF that department, except by the liberality
OF the appropriations, projected, doubtless by said de-
partment, for worthy objects here and many other
where's, and then ending in smoke. Under the old
teetotal, non-resisting, public improving regime, a
little here and a little there were doled out betimes,
but always in the right direction, to assist and en-
courage public improvements. We were graceless
enough then to think these little aids came from mig
gardly hands, and consequently hailed with delight
the Secretary st War. I, for one, gave the Hon. Sec
rotary great credit, for so modest a man, for travel
ling boldly out of his legitimate duties to assail the
Bureau of Public Works. His motives, doubtless,
were good, as they always are, and he little dreamed
fnen, trow, that the arduous duties of that Bureau
WOULD ever De forced upon him. / rejoiced at the
enange snd confidently looked for better things,
though L must confess I was a little staggered at the
engineering lore evineed in the above mentioned re-
ports, which savored not 8 little of Roman aoue-
ducts, military roads, and Egyptian pyramids.
Pardon me, Mr. Editor, I did not take pen for the
purpose of lauding the Hon. Secretary's motives or
his engineering abilities, however willing I might be
under ftlng circumstances to vouch for his industry
but simply to say a word or two about our improve
ments here. Unde- the old teetotal administration
we managed to get a bridge built here at one time
ana q. bridge there at anothera few tools now and
then to knock rocks out of the way and cut pathways
along the pals, and last and net least a movement was
