of tie negroes, in the various cities we
may hold on the coast. furnishing
them with white officers Of skill and

over them proper military control.

Walton Of order may not be safely en-
trusted to this class of persons. They
have been employed in the ranks by
the Confederates themselves !; they
make good and tractable soldiers;

The Duty Of Journalists

We have made it rule since the
commencement of hostilities with the
Federals, to permit nothing toappear
in the columns of our paper which
would tend to give information, much
sought for by the enemy though, at
the same time, VIC are free to admit
that we entertained no idea of our pa
per ever coming before their eyes.
As time passes on however, so varies
the aspects Of things; the crisis has
now come, and we are to survey the
position of the enemy with a calm,
calculating eye, for he is not far dis
tant from our doors. 1t behoovcs us,
then, to weigh we'll our words. not to
express ourselves enigmaticMlv, but
publish our sentiments, as would be
expected from every loyal person.
Items of intelligence Of local bear
ing should under no circumstances be
issued to the pdblic eye, if there is
the least possibility of it's proving
beneficial to the enemy. OF course

sorely perplexed for intormatlon'"1th
which to fill their papers, yet tins
should not be an excuse for convey
ing through their respective columns
Intelligence which will be Sraspcd at
bv the enemies OF the South. In
fling or insi sniticant as some papers
may appear, they may be the means
of great larm. These reflections
crowd themselves upon Us by perus-
ing an Indiana Daily paper, IN which
we find to our astonishment copious

THE Plyncsian, published at Honolulu,
copies into its columns an account Of a trag-
edy not long since enacted in one Of our
Western courts, and warns it's readers against
lapsing into similar barbarsm. 1t discourscs
very seriously upon the state Of society which
prevails in the United States, and rejoiccs in
the fact that murder is Of comparatively rare
occurrence in Oahu. This voice from the An
tipodes should not be disl egarded. Some
years since we sent ont missionaries to chris
tianize the Sandwich Islands if they in turn
find it necessary to send emissaries to civiizs
us, it argues very little for the progressive
state Of morals in this quarter Of the globe.
1t is not at all unlikely that the next mission.
ary we send to the Fcjee Islands will rebound.
Another century may see tattocd ovangelists
admoaishing us of the evil Of our ways, and
urging us to repentance. When that time
arrives we hope we may not have relapsed
'rto barbarism so far as to cat them.
