In a very silly article, which would do credit
to a - snapper-up of unconsidered trifes,' the
Government Editor OF last Saturday, takes occa-
sion to ridicule the appointment by the Oahu
Clerical Association, of Il fast on the Goth inst.
(to-day) in union with Americans in their
own country, as appointed there by the Presi-
dents proclamation. Is there any good reason,
why the government should interfere and attempt
to ridicule the wcll-meant acts of any of its peo-
pie: Or why it should attempt in its official
organ. to sneer Mt religion or the d~evotions of
any of its subjects?
If the editor wants to cavil and grumble at
religion and religious devotions, why don't he
take up the Catholics, who have frequent fasts.
and often call off the people from their industri-
Gus labors, to fast for this or that object, all very
worthy. no doubt. Why don't he complain that
the Napoleon fete day is observed here in union
with those living in France? There is much
more cause for complaint and ridicule on this
score than ON account of the fast appointed for to-
day.
The real intent OF the government, through its
editor, il 20 traduee those who svmpathize with
Protestants. to ridicule and stigmatize that reli-
gion as a base hypocrisy. This is the real OBJ
ject of its attacks on that class. The editor os
the P0lVHcSian was not called on 10 fast. 1t is
well known that ne has no sympathy with the
Union. and only with the rebels, and probably
would not fast, if the King proclaimed it. The
appointment was made only for such as choose TO

CONSULATE OF tbs UNITED STATES or AMERICA,
Honolulu, II. l., Sept. 2i, 1861.

SATURDAY EVENING, DEC. IA, 1861.

SACRAMENTO CTY.-Tbe citizens of Sac
ramento have taken measures to repair the
damages to their leVee. The Supervisors
held special meeting on Thursday evening,
and passed an ordinance transferring sew
enty-fve thousand dollars from the interest
and sinking fund to special fund for re-
pairing the levee and securing the city from
another calamity like the one she hvs just
suffered. This amount will be sufficient to
secure the city from another overflow this
winter, as the snow in the mountains is
nearly all melted off. The Union admits
that the city is now bankrupt, and that she
cannot for the present pay either the prin-
cipal or interest of her public debt. The
amount transferred TO the levee fund would
have been sufficient to pay the interest due
in January next, but 10 any event 1t would
be impossible for the city to raise money to
pay the interest that will be due in July
next.

DANCING TO SOME PURPosE.-The new
school house Of the Oakland District, including
Piety HILL, is completed but not painted, and
we learn that the ladies Of the District have
determined to give dance next Wednesday
evening, in the school house, for the purpose
Of accomplishing this laudable object. As the
music has been generously offered without
charge, and the refreshments will be contribnt-
ed by the fair managers, the receipts win be all
profits, and will make the new school house as
attractive in appearance as it is substantial
and comfortable. The object is certainly a
commendable one, and we have no doubt the
party win be a success. Tickets, two dollars
and half, procured at the door.

POLITICIANS For EURoPE.-There is no
doubt that Archbishop Hughes and Thurlow
Weed go to Europe, though perfectly indepen-
dent of the Government, yet in a certain sense
on its business. The visit was suggested by the
President, or rather Mr.. Seward, and the object
is to meet such men as Slidell, Mason, and the
other willy diplomats of the rebel Government,
and create Northern sentiment in English
and French political and social circles. 1t is
rumored that Edward Everett and Bishop Nc
Ilvaine will follow in few days, and that Mr..
Bancroft the historian, who deservedly stands
so high in Europe, will also make visit, be-
fore the hard winter sets in, to the English cap
ital. There can be no mistake about these
visits. They are in TO sense diplomatic errands
abroad, but are really private excursions abroad,
suggested by the State Department, for the pur-
pose of afording intelligent Engishmen an
opportunity to discuss with the same class of
Americans the war and the various questions
connected with tn. Y. Post.

The FUNERAL Of Col. Baker took place
at San Francisco on Wednesday, and nearly
the entire adult population attended. Hon.
Edward Stanly delivered the Oration at
Music Hall, and the Episcopal burial service
was read by Bishop Kip. A large process
sion followed the remains to Lone Mountain
Cemetery, and the ceremonies were cODclu-
ded with short address and impressive
prayer by Rev. T. Starr King. The remains
of Col. Baker were buried in lot selected
not far from Broderick's grave, and prob
ably measures will be taken ere long TO
erect monument to bis memory.

STocK DYING.-The Russian river and Sill
yer creek country, once noted for its excellent
grazing, has of late years been SO overstocked
and Get out" that the cattle in that region are
now dying of sheer poverty. A gentleman from
that region informs US that since the recent
storm, he went out and found thirteen head of
his cows dead, also several belonging to his
and this in the small circuit of his neighbor-
hood. This is the legitimate fruit Of the over
stocking system, and should impress stock
raisers with the fact that there is more profit in
small herds well kept than in large ones inn

FRoM MoNo.-A correspondent Of the Mir
ror. who writes from Aurora, N. T., Nov. I'D,
saws: "Quartz miners and hands in the quartz
mills command SO per day; carpenters are in
demand, at 81; bricklayers and plasterers read
ily obtain 81; man and two horses, $l5.
Lumber is worth 800 per NJ, and very inferior
lumber at that. There are many good veins OF
rock here, upon which there will be mills erec-
ted the coming spring. The rock Of the Gar
ibaldi" crushed at the Pioneer Mill OF Z. Green
& Co., yielded $40 per ton. The "Etna" has
paid from S45 to S55; the Bonner claim Yields
S76; the Utah $40; Aurora $2S; Pride Of Utah
500; Juniata $39. Five hundred tuns OF rock
from the Rive del Mimic claim sold to Peck &
Co. for $4,000. One hundred dollars per tun
has been offered and refused for rock from the
Esmeralda and the Antelope claims. These
results, you will bear in mind, are nothing but
the gold yield, and when the mills get their sill
yer saving machinery into operation, take my
word for Il, you will hear of something aston
ishing. The Esmeralda company are now
taking out very rich silver ore, as are several
others.

HoRRoRs oP BULL RUN.-The following
is an extract of a letter written to the Montreal
Witness by an ex-Montreal editor who has
spent several years in the Southern States in
the same vocation: "The battle Of Manassas,
or Bull Run, as it is somewhat pointedly styled
by the Northerners was a sad victory to the
people Of Richmond In proportion, there were
many more citizens of Richmond present on
the battlefield than of any other city OF the
South; and the loss of the Southern army was
very much greater than was supposed at the
North. have heard Beauregard declare his
belief that three or four Southerners fell to ev-
cry Northern soldier. BE this as it may, Rich
mond, after the battle, was veileG in mourning.
IL seemed as if there was scarcely family that
had not lost friend or relative; many had lost
their head and every male member oftheir once
loving domestic circle. Manassas was hardly
gained victory, though its moral effects we're
great; but ii was victory that spread mourn
ing and desolation over the land, for hundreds
of the most beloved and cherished among the
youth of the South fell on that fatal day.

THE STORM AT GRASS VALLEY.-The dam

not not been very large, although it has thrown
some 500 laborers in the quartz mines out OF

been compelled to suspend operations from the
unusual influx of water. The damage, in that
way. to both employers and employed is very
Great MANY other mines of smaller extent
have also been filled with water. The AUBURN

Wolf creek, have been carried away. Perrin S S

THESAN Joaquin VALLEY.-Ih consequence
OF the Interruption oftelegrapblc communi-
cation, we have received no particulars of
the food in San Joaquin valley, but enough
isknown TO render it probable that'extensive
ravages have taken place in the southern

The state CAPITAL.


Our next Legislature will probably De
called upon to reconsider the various acts
of their predecessors creating Sacramento
the Capital Of the State, imposing upon the
people the expenditure of millions In the
construction of public edifces, and making
of the City of the Plains the depository Of
the public treasures, libraries, and archives.
The effort that will be made to prevent any
change, or removal of the Capital, the ap-
peals that will be made to the Legislature,
to their generosity, humanity, and sympa-
tby with undeserved misfortunes, we can
readily foresee and fully appreciate. The
sanctity Of past Legislation will be invoked;
the history of the city. written in one dire
ful catalogue of FIRE and FLOOD, will be
held before them, and they will be asked
whether her present misfortunes shall be
aggravated by the deprivation of all her
prospective advantages. To these appeals,
addressed to the finest sensibilities of OR
natures, humanity and sympathy. we can
give but one answer: But that Legislation
which looks to the future we'll being OF the
State, which acts for the coming generations
that will people this Pacific shore. must rise
above passion. and act upon other motives
than those of sympathy or COMMUNICATION.
That legislation would be indeed short
sighted, which, from sympathy with pres
ent calamity, should subject the whole Stale
to Its frequent and perpetual recurrence, 10
the endangering or destruction Of the pub
lie property.
Within the eleven years that comprise
the history of this State, the site OF our pro
jected Capital has been three times submer-
Qed. and the deposits of former floods tell 10
unmistakable language of foundations with
in the last half century before which the
miphtiest of human barriers would have
vanished like oobwebs The idea of secur-
ing Sacramento against the chance of such
foods is hopelessS the rivers that environ
her are as sleepless in their enCroachments
as they are sudden in their irrupLions and
irresistible 10 their strength. Decay is the
condition of all human structures, and neg
liCence the sure result Of fancied security.
The floods of the last ten years must ire
auently recur, and those more fearful inun-
da,ions that are known only by their own
records, may visit the cities of the valley 10
all their destructive might aud horror with
10 the present generation, or the next few
years.
To those who look upon Sacramento as
commercial mart In which sudden fortune
is hoped for, or life is to be passed, these
contingencies may seem remote but to a
State whose existence is measured by cen
turies, these records of the past have fear
full significance and reality. That legsla.
ton which shall ignore or disregard them
will entail upon posterity fearful awake.
ming and realization of their existence.
While we can but feel the deepest sympathy
with the flooded city, we can but see that
the future prosperity Of the State requires
that her Capital should be placed beyond
the reach of these treacherous and destruc-
tive rivers.

POLITICAL PERPLExER.-Singulary enough
the coronation of the King of Prussia took place
on the 10Th of October-the anniversary Of the
Battle Of Leipsic. Lest, however, France should
take umbrage at this provoking coincident, the
orator charged with prOnOuncing the discourse
at the fete Of Leipsic, careful to say that the
Germans met on the occasion TO commemor-
ate the liberty of their country and not to cele-
brate a victory over the French" The French
papers don't quite know whether to take this
cleverly- turned " explanation" as compliment,
or to resent it as an insult, sugar-coated. The
Vienna journals are equally perpiexed.
