NOTES OF TIE WEEK.

A CLOSE RACE.-Our citizens were all taken by
surprise on the appearance OF the port of the Comet,
early on Thursday morning. followed in a few hours
by the Yankee, with the United States mail. Every
body expected to hear of n clipper race over, but no
one looked for a repetition Of it on the passage back.
Both Captains Smith and LOvett are, however, game
to the back bone, and like prize bantams, are bound
to win. The Yankee beat fairly by two days on the
passage over, but the Comet beat as fairly by six
hours on the trip down. "First at the stake WINS
and if the Yankee made Koolau at midnight, at the
same time that the Comet hove TO off Honolulu, she
only lost her reckoning, and will have to try it over.
Both vessels are smart sailers, and under the driving
captains who have charge of them, passengers may
rest assured Of being landed in steamer time at either
end of the route. The bark Onuard which sailed in
company with the above vessels, was nowhere in
the race. and probably passed the port the night af-
ter, glad to slip by unnoticed, though she was going
to stop and lie, our good people know that the Comet
and Yankee would be along soon. BY the bye, in
passing. we must here correct an error into which
our California cotemporaries have fallen, in re-
porting the passage of the bark Onlcqrd Tin Septem-
Der last we believe) from Honolulu to San Francisco
in ten Days. She was trenty-oue days making the
above passage, the only one she ever made from this
port. -
g-The United States Commissioner, accompanied
by Flag Officer Tattnall, called yesterday officially on
the japanese Commissioners. 1t was then arranged
that to-day, Mt l P. NJ, they will call on the officials
Of this government. The United States Commission
er has also requested an audience Of the King, to
present Flag officer Tattnall and other officers Of the
PoLriatrn, and also the japanese embassy. which
Will probably take place the latter part Of this or the
early part of next week.
EPISCOPAL SEnvIcz-The residents Of Honolulu
have been favored with episcopal services by the Rev.
Messrs. Garrett and Lowe, during the detention Of
the Heather Bell in port. The services have been
held at the Bethel on sabbath evening, for the three
last weeks. and On each evening the building has
been crowded to it utmost capacity. The efforts
lately made with the view Of establishing an episco-
pal church here. have not been given up, and will,
we trust. prove successful

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

NAvAL-The Z. s. steam frigate POrhGtGn, under
command Of Capt. q. F. Pearson. and bearing Flag
Officer Josiah Tattnall, arrived At this port on Mon
day morning, y days from Japan. On leaving
kanagawa, the p. did not purpose touching here,
but finding her supply Of coal would not hold
out to San Francisco, she changed her course for this
port. She has consequently been some days longer
in coming than had she come direct. She has on
board the japanese Embassy TO the United States,
consisting Of - persons. To accommodate this large
number, state-rComs have been erected on the quar-
ter deck During the voyage, which has been rough
and stormy, the japanese guests have made them
selves very agreeable, not the slightest disturbance
having occurred, but on the other hand, they have
Invariably appeared well pleased with their accom-
modations and the officers Of the vessel. Three in
terpreters accompany the Embassy, 50 that the wants
Of the strangers are easily met. The PotriataF will
remain here about two weeks, sailing we understand,
on the 10Th for san Francisco, where size Is to he
placed in the dry dock. at Mare Island, to repair
damages sustained in her cruises in the Japan seas.
She leaks considerably, and otherwise needs much

GREAT FREsHET.-Another freshet, similar to that
of December 16, 1858, occurred on the night of the
81 inst. In town, the rain commenced early in the
evening, and though heavy, did not appear unusual;
but in Nuuanu, it would seem that there must have
been a waterspout. About 10 o'clock, the stone
bridge near the reservoir was carried away, with a
loud crash, some of the stones of which it was built,
being carried by the flood as far as the baths. With
the bridge, the water pipes were also carried away,
thus cutting off the supply of water. A gang of pris-
oners and workmen We're Immediately employed to
get the pipes up from the bed of the river, and re-
store the supply Of water, and by Monday evening
it was remedied. 4 temporary foot bridge has also
been erected over the stream. Whether any attempt
to construct Il new bridge will be made before the
meeting of the Legislature, we have not learned.
But whenever it is built, we trust it will be built on
a rock foundation, and of sufficient span and height
of arch to allow the heaviest freshests to pass it I'm
harmed. -
WASHED OUT-The food which occurred on Friday
night, came very nearly carrying away a number of
houses located in the Hat below Smiths Church. The
houses occupied by Mr.. Blaisdell were all moved from
their foundations, and one of them, in which his chill
dren were sleeping, and from which they had just
been taken, was carried by the stream several rods,
when it brought up against a post, and its progress
impeded. The water rose in the house as high as the
windows, and nearly overturned the main building.
The buildings and premises were left a complete
wreck, the furniture being damaged rs much or more
than if n fire had occurred there. subscription was
circulated on Saturday by Mr.. J. G. Carter, and sos
raised by the residents and presented to the family.
Nearly all the natives living in the valley suffered
more or less from the freshet. Among other things
washed away was a coffin, containing the remains of
the wife of Peter Hamilton, which had never been
inferred, but was kept in the house in which he lived.
taro patches we're destroyed, and the gar
den of Mr.. j. E.. Barnard, in Palama, stocked with
choice flowers, shrubs, vines and trees, was also COM
pletely washed away.

HORRIBLE DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A
CAT-One day last week a man named
Stephen Hamel, residing on Liberty street,
near Sycamore, entered the garnet of his
house to expel some cats that had destroyed
his peace for several nights previous, and
cornering feline monster that he believed
to be the prime minister in the disorder, pro-
ceeded to administer to it a number of Wig
orous and well-directed blows with stick.
Suddenly the cat leaped upon him with the
ferocity of tiger, and before he could free
himself from its grasp, scratched and bit
him about the face in terrible manner
The next day he grew delirious, and his
head swelled up to twice its natural size
In this condition he fingered till yesterday,

The Montgomery Guards of Crawfords-
vile, Capt. Lew. Wallace, visited the Ma
tional Guards, Indianapolis, and spent the
22d with them. The day was duly ceIe-
brated, and the brethren-in-arms had a
happy time. Capt. Wallace, in replying to
the reception speech of H. H. Dodd, Esq,
remarked, in relation to the military repu-
tation of our State:
The soldiery of Indiana had never had
Justice done them There was lie written
on the page of history-and he burned in
common with every Indianian who deserved
the name, to have tina: lie blotted out. Let
the time come when it may, even if his
head should be whitened with the frost of
age, if his limbs would carry him, he
would be the first to step forward, without
scanning critically the cause that sounded
the call TO arms.
Indiana and her Second Regiment have,
undoubtedly, had great injustice done them.
No regiment suffered more on the bloody
up-none stood frmer until an unfortunate
misunderstanding caused them to hesitate
and fall back The tattered and ball-riddled
flag of the Second Regiment, in the State
Library, attests the bravery of the men
who carried it and the battlefront banner
of the Steadfast Third by its side, vim
dictates the honor of the State, and the
bravery of those who carried its mate until
confusion of orders Checked their onward
and triumphant march. s1.a.I

Second Regiment of Indiana Volunteers.

kSr The EhqHirer quotes, in order to
clear away certain damaging charges
against its party-who always profess to be
the exclusive and peculiar friends of the
naturalized population-the recent remarks
of Mr.. Smith of North Carolina, in the
House, in regard to his connection with the
American party.
1t is very natural for Mr.. Smith to put in
justification for those Northern Democrats
who voted for him. No doubt it was done
at their importunate solicitation. 1t was a
matter of political life and death with them.
We doubt not, that Mr.. Niblack has been
clinging to Mr.. Smiths coat-taiI ever since
the vote was given, trying to get him to put
in that disclaimer of Know Nothingism.
Mr.. Smith, if report speaks truly, is good,
easy soul, and when warmed up with little
generous " wine of the vine benign, would
no doubt be willing to put his Democratic
friends out of their misery-more especially
as he could do it-as he did-without at all
compromising his standing in the American
party.
much sooner take the disinterested and posi-
tive assurances of the editor of the New
York Tablet in confirmation of Mr.. Smiths
Know Nothingism, than the interested
special pleading of Mr. Smith, Mr.. Niblack,
and other parties to the transaction under
consideration.
The Enquirer and its party are in tight
place, and feel miserable. They are to be
pitied. ALI their professions of love for
adopted citizens and for popular sovereignty
are shown to be hollow and hypocriti-
cal, and made only to perpetuate themselves
in power.
We notice that there is one point that the
Enquirer carefully avoids, viz: Mr.. Hol-
mans assertion that Mr.. Smith is an advo-
cate of slave-code and opponent of popu-
lar sovereignty. This is as destructive a
fact as the other proved on Mr.. Smith and
his Democratic upholders. We guess the
Enquirer thinks, the less said about that
the better. The party could vote for Mr..
Smith, opposed as he was to that principle
that helped them to power in 1856, but they
bolted Mr.. McClernand, an avowed friend
of popular sovereignty. And yet they claim
to be the patrons of that principle Shame
ON the hypocrisy they have manifested
