Col. Ellsworth s LAST LETTER.
The following copy of the last letter
written by the gallant and lamented
Col. Ellsworth, except one to his aft
anced bride, written at the same time,
just before moving on Alexandria:
HEADQUARTERS lsr ZoUAvEs, CAMP L1ScoLS,)
WASHINGTON, D. c., May %, 1861. /
My DEAR FATHER AND MOTHER -
The regiment is ordered to move across
the river tonight. We have no means
of knowing what reception we are to
meet with. | am inclined to the opin-
ion that our entrance to the City of AL
exandria will be hotly contested, as
am just informed large force have ar
rived there to-day. Should this happen
my dear parents, it may be my lot to
be injured Ill some manner. Whatever
may happen, cherish the consolation
that | was engaged i'll the performance
of sacred duty; and tonight, think
ing over the probabilities of the NOR
row 1and the occurrences Of the past,
| am perfectly content to accept what
ever my fortune may be, confident that
he who noteth even the fall of the spar
row will have some purpose, even Ia
the fate Of one like me.
My darling and ever loved parents,
good bye. God bless, protect and care
for you. ELMER.

ABoLIsHING SLAvEHY.-A cores,
pendent Of the n. Y. Times, writing
from Washington, says that the refus-
al of Gen. Butler to deliver up fugi-
tive slaves marks new era in the his
tory of the war, and it is confidently
expected here, by intelligent men, that
its effect will be to drive slavery out Of
Virginia. Let it be once understood
that no more slaves are 'sto be deliv-
cred up while Virginia maintains al
attitude of hostility to the Govern
ment, and the shareholders in a body
will make stampede for the South
west, such as the agents of the under
ground railroad never started in the
opposite direction. A Virginia slave
holder, who resides here, expresses the
opinion that slavery will be speedily
and successfully cleaned out from
Northern Virginia by this process, and
although he will be among those who
will be forced to move his slaves south.
or permit them to SO North, he is IN
qualified in the expression of opinion
that it will rebound to the welfare of
the State.

American Commissioner, and intended 10 iuPe'eN
the tru,atulneSs Of the statements made ~ the com

and Mr.. Whitney. and which appear 20 have been
manufactured 20 order. The question being thus re

concerned. the gentlemen named are perfectly con-
ten, 20 allow the public 20 form its own Judgment

the uar,Ies aIcsruei, and 20 say whether the Pno'-
r,-,5u If such documents On the part Of the tommiS-

toe much precision. who % the friends OF the Com
missioner are. that advised his re>ortns to the use
OF 50 concealed weapon.
We are informed that ST least one Of the docu-
ments printed in the PolyEesiGa. was published
without the sanction or knowledge Of the person who
signed it, and its publication i much regretted by
him. The same MAJ be the case with the others.
RrxAwAys CAuGur-Fgur native seamen belong
ing to the whale ship Isabella, deserted from her by
swimming ashore, while she was lying off and on
some eight or ten miles outside Of Diamond Head.
They all reached the shore safely AZ Waialae, through
one of them became 80 exhausted, that he had to be
carried by his comrades, each taking tuIns IN sup
porting him from sinking. They were soon arrested
by some natives residing near by. who suspected
them 10 be deserters. and were lodged in the Station
house. 1t IS almost impossible for seamen TO escape
from a snip at this port by desertion, without being
soon recapJured. |
FINE SIGHr-The steamer went out on Monday
evening. well filed with a crowded deck load of pas
sengers aud with the usual freight FOR Hilo and in
.termeiiate ports. Under the able management OF
her present agents, she is becoming very popular
the only complaint that we hear Of is that she don't
stop long enough to take on board all the freight
offered to her. This surely can be remedied without
trouble. |
For THE EAsr-Since the departure of the Yankee
four numbers of the Commercial have been issued,
which can be had at the counter in wrappers. An
other mail may not leave for San Francisco for more
than a month. -
n We are indebted to Messrs. MRuer & Mer-
c. ". Brooks x Co, and J. W Sullivan. Of San
Francisco, for files Of papers by the Sea Uitcf.

The NEXT NEws-Public expection has been on
tip-toe for weeks, looking for later secession news.
The news by the last arrival was quite unsatisfactory,
and served only to sharpen the appetite for the next,
which ought to bring Us the INAUGURAL ADDRESS Of
President Lincoln, which was to have been delivered
on the 4th Of March, and was due in San Francisco
on the 18th of that month. On the policy of the new
administration hangs the fate of the Republic, and
consequently throughout the Union, and also the
world, the most intense anxiety exists TO see the
views expressed 10y the new President. As yet, his
policy is a perfect enigma to the public
the bark Fickery, Capt. Nc. Brooks, Formerly
of the schooner -4lert,) was to sail from San Francisco
on the 18th of March for Japan, and would touch at
Honolulu 10 leave the mail and procure water, sc.
She will bring the New York mail of Feb. p, and
the Presidents Inaugural, published in the Califor-
mia papers, and ought TO arrive to-day or tomorrow,
as she Is probably fifteen days out now.

Now Is TIE TIME.-Iowland's Ambrotype rooms
are the fIvorite resort OF the ladies and no wonder,
when he turns out such pictures, often astonishing
his female patrons by the magical sweetness and
exquisite beauty with which he copies their smiles
and dimples on to glass or paper. Rowland tells US
that = he's going to leave in the next boat" but
we don't believe the ladies will let him of so easily,
at Least, no; till he's photographed all Honolulu.
However. those who are intending /" to be taken"
had better have j; done soon.

collected. If the vessels bringing the mails received
one cent, his pay alone would amount 10 500 a
year. Ia the above instance, there were twelve mail
bags, including two san Francisco bags, and the
compensation received by the schooner Sea Hitch,
for bringing them, was Sl6,2o. which, Of course,

at least frs dollars for each bag brought. This Is

what Is now paid, and We think would be sufficient

Council or the Minister OF the Interior, is probably

LARGE SUGAR-C4NE-The schooner Oil Fel'olr
brought from Kauai a sample of sugar-caue raised on
the Titcoub plantation a, HanaIei, sent up II the
request Of CD. Parker, I. :. Consul At this port,
who intends forwarding it to the Patent Office in
Washington. The sample Is now At the store Of
Capt. Snow, and consists Of fifteen stalks Of cane,
the largest 10 feet and the shortest Is feet 6 inches
in length and in size, g to : inches in cjrcumfer-
euce. The largest stalk has 30 joints, and the others
var. from thirty to fifty joints each, some Of which
are eight inches in length. These are but a
fair specimen OF the cane growth of these islands,
and Of their adaptabiiity TO its cultivation. Speci-
mems from IIIo have been exhibited here, even sur
passing those above noticed. These, however, are
sufficient to convince the most incredulous that the
Hawaiian Islands possess 4 soil and climate partic-
ularIy GdGptei to the growtt Of cane, and when we
add that there are tens OF thousands Of acres now
lying idle here, as suitable for cane as any under
cultivation, requiring only capital and enterprise
from abroad to bring them into service, every
one will see that our group may yet become AZ
famous for its sugar manufacture, in proportion
to ITS extent, as Cuba or the Mauritius.
