: NEW oRK, June IL, 1859.
TO the President of the American Guano Company
DEAR Sir In reply to your request that l
should give you brief account of my late voyage
to Jarvis Island, l subscribe the following :
/ left San Francisco Heads at p. NJ January
18th, sea account. At IL P. NJ. sea account hove
to off Diamond head, five miles from Honolulu,
making the passage in nine days and nine hours
Lett Honolulu February 3D. and arrived at Jarvis
Island on the 10th, making twenty-five days from
San Francisco to Jarvis Island including the four
days at Honolulu | took down Mr.. Judd, the
Governor of the Island, and 35 Kanakas for labor
ers. The kanakas make the best kind of laborers
being quiet, and good strong fellows to work. We
were at the island q days altogether, during which
time we discharged 600 tons of ballast, and took in
and slowed 800 tons of guano. They gave us one
hundred tons per day whenever we could take it,
There was no dav while we were there that they
could not boat off guano. The island is of coral for
nation, without a particle of earth upon it. No
thing but the deposit of guano, of which there is
vast quantity. The coral reef which makes out
from the island in different parts, affords fine fish
ing. Seldom day passed that table was not
well supplied with fish, of nice quality. ls.,O
9. would caution all navigators who may be bound
down to Jarvis Island, from Honolulu or San Fran
cisco, to beware of Christmas Island as it extends
full ten miles farther to the East than it placed on
the charts, and is dangerous to approach at night
There is no need of going to the Eastward of it,
bound to Jarvis Island as the wind prevails sufH-
GENTLY from the East to insure fair wind by pass
ing to the West of it. In the latitude of Jarvis Is
land the current sets strongly to the West, and
much precauton is needed not to get to ieeward of
the island. At times the current sets w. s. W full
~ miles per hour.

INDEPENDENCE OF THE JUDICIARY-D Democratic
Mdgnanimity.-The Cincinnati Inquirer learns that
Judge Whitman, the Democratic nominee for the
Supreme Bench of Ohio, is willing to decline if
Judge Swan will accept an independent nomination.
1t says:
"Mr. Whitman, we assured feels that it is
the general of the people, that the reelection
of Judge Swan is due to that gentleman and to the
majesty OF the Constitution and the laws and that
he himself participates warmly in that feeling. He
cares nothing for himself, but everything for the
honor of the State and the independence of the
Judiciary. With every Democrat he feels that the
abolition fanatics deserve a severe rebuke; and so
far as he is personally concerned he has no desire
to be in the way of its inflicion; the contrary
he will aid all in his power to bring about. Such
assured, Judge Whitman's views and
they justify the high character the Democracy of
the State have always had of his manness patriot
ism and good sense He himself wants no office
but for the public good. That is his Democracy"

NATURALIZED RUSSIAN CITIZENS.
CATION OF THE UNITED STATE.

]
| ask that you will make known through your
journal to the many naturaized citizens of the Uni
ted States residing in the States of Louisiana and
Mississippi, who were formerly Russian subjects,
that it is very imprudent for them to leave the
United States with the intention of returning tenn
porarily to Russia, unless they have previously
made the necessary inquiries to permission from
the Russian Government.
Many such citizens under the impression that
the Emperor Alexander ii. of Russia has proclaim
ed an unqualified amnesty, but such is not the case
The distinguished Russian Minister, Baron Brun-
now, has informed me that his Government has
never destroyed its ''back list,' and that if the
surn anne of applicant for a vise upon his pass
port is found upon that list the vise may not be
granted
In consequence ofthe present military preparations
In Russia its Government will doubtless be stricter
now than ever. Very respectfully.

SIGNIFICANT.-The New Haven Journal and Cou
rier, speaking of the proposition for Constitution
al Convention in Connecticut, recognises one of
the principal reasons for holding such Convention
"the exclusion of negroes from the elective fran
chise." Is it possible that the Republicans of Con
necticut have discovered that negroes not the
equals of white men, and therefore not entitled to
the same political privileges? Our Republicans in
New ork who are anxious to confer the right Of
suffrage upon the colored men of the State will do
well to consider this suggestion from their brethren
in Connecticut

THE MAYSVULE BONDS

1T will be interesting to such of our citizens as
hold any of the bonds of the city of Maysville, in
Kentucky, for the interest upon which provision
has been made for year or two past, to learn that
the Court of Appeals of Kentucky on Tuesday of
last week affirmed the decision rendered by Judge
Phister of the April term of the Mason Circuit
Court for 1858, in the case of Graham Knox Us.
Councmen for the city of Maysvile. q > fsse. Ca.
This was an application upon the part Of the
plaintiffs, holding certain bonds in the city oi
Maysville issued in part payment of its subscrip-
tlon to the capital stock of the Maysville and Lex
ington Railroad Company, for mandamus to COM
pei the City Council to levy and collect a tax to
pay the interest due and in arrears on said bonds,
and the case having been eaborately argued ON the
18th day OF April, 1858, Judge ,Phster rendered a
appealed and the decision Of the Circuit Court is
sustained. The Court of appeals has awarded a
mandamus, as asked for by the plaintiffs, and its de-
cision is emphatic on all the points involved.
