TERRIBLE MASSACRE IN New ZEALAxp.-From
the Honolulu Commerce al Advertiser. we learn
that Capt. Wlnslow. who had just arrived from
New Zealand. reported terrible massacre o,
the foreign population by the hostile natives
south OF Auckland. Last October peace wa.
concluded. 1t appears. however. that some
time in January the Eatives came down from
the mountains in large numbers and suppressed
a Settlement near Auckland. butchering about
eight hundred and fifty Inhabitants The most
horrid accounts are received as TO the cruelties
perpetrated on that occasion. The government
had only about two thousand troops in the. Isl
and. These would have proved more than a
match for any force that the Indians could
bring into the field; but the latter are acustum-
I'd to retreat into the thick cane brakes which
cover the mountains of the interior. Aside
from those natural defences, the natives are

ADRIAN, June 2sth, 1861.
Thanks to Dan Hibbard's good horses, and
the railroad, 1 arrived here just in time to see
one parade of the 4sh Regiment, and to witness
their departure to the sea, of war They were
qusrtered in and around the College buildings,
in front of which is splendid parade ground.
1t is of no use to describe the evolutions of a
thousand soldiers-the thing must be seen TO be
appreciated.
Yesterday was the hottest day of the season,
and early in the day the city was crowded with
many thousand strangers to witness the depar-
ture of troops. Many a wife, mother, and sister,
babe farewell to loved ones, and the regiment,
at O'Clock, took up their line of march for the
depot; the College being on the west border Of
the city, and the depot on the east, nearly two

Another good measure has been offered by
Senator Wilson, comforting the franking priv

for the benefit of those engaged in military ser

necessity OF supporting postal system in the
rebellious States, can we'll afford to be generous
TO its soldiers.

Major General Fremont has received his COM

The Richmond Examiner, referring to the sez.
ure Of all the Geographic messages in the North
for the last twelve months, makes a revelation of
the way in which Geographic operator in Wash
ingtOn city worked out the schemes of the south
ern traitors. 1t says: The grand place. the
central point, where the reasonable, southern
secession, rebeIlous teegraphc dispatches were
written, sent and filed, last winter and spring.
was the Washington city Geographic Office
There was work enough done there las. winter
to have hung any quantity of rebels, now figur
ing in the Confederate armies and Congress
1t gives account of how Geographic disclosures
were managed, and thus continues:
But sOcn after it was found that there was
one man in the Washington Office who could be
trusted implicitly by our people, and We are glad
to record that it was young Virgiuian, William
COlwell By name. This young man, BY private
arrangement, received the southern dispatches,
sent them himself, and filed them away i'm a pri.
vate safe. No one saw them but himself aud the
parties to whom they were addressed. All
through January, February, March, and part of
April, this gentleman acted for our ftends-
Through him the dispatches were sent giving
the movements OF the Star OF the West, and also
patches revealing the object and destination OF
the expedition to relieve Fort Sumter-so care
fully sought TO be concealed by the enemy Mr..
Coiweil, one day in April, got word privately that
the black republicans we're coming to seize the
Office. He quietly took all these reasonable dis.
patches and burnt them. They have thus re.
solved themselves into their original elements.
Divine power can alone restore the characters
and signs by which the secessionis,s at Washing.
ton fought the enemy, incurred treason, defied
the halter, and saved their country The dis.
patches being burnt, COlwell remained at his post
with philosopbic composure. Next night the
Yankee troops come into the Office with musket
and bayOnet, and he politely informed them that
be surrendered at discretion, and that all he had
in the telegraphc dispatch line was at their dis
position"
