dered.
The American schooner Ann Eliza, Free
man, master, from Boston in l2S days, came
into port on the 7th inst. She was attacked
on her way at the Straits of Magellan by
about twenty Indians OF the Sierra del Fuego,
while at anchor by night on the 26th of April !;
three of her crew were murdered, and the cap
tain, cook and sailor, who were all the remain
ing crew, badly wounded; but the captain
managed to expel the invaders by shooting
down three of them with his revolver, and
reseuing the little schooner. He took her back
to the Chilean colony on the Strait, and was
furnished by the Governor with hands to bring
her to this port. She is loaded with valuable
cargo of silks, bound for Honolulu, and only
measures eighty three tons.

THg RADICAL PAPERS CONCERNING THE AD-
MINIsTRATIoS.-Well might the present admins
tration excam, "Save us from our friends r.
Their organs in New York do them infinite da-
mage. They attribute to them the entire dis
grace of the failure OF our arms on Che Rappa-
hammock. They say Burnside has done his duty
but Meigs and the War Department have failed
to cooperate. Hence the sudden halt in the
advance of the army to Richmond. The chief
share Of the Indignation is visited on General
Meigs, and we have no doubt it is Justly due. Let
him be removed, and Gen. Van Vlsit, an able
and efficient officer take his place. But let not
the work Of reform stop there. Let the whole
War Department be cleared out, frsm Secretary
Stanton down, and then perhaps we may have
the business done in proper manner Certain
il is that any change must be for the better.

under the lee of the islands, or steaming in calm
weather, she will be found to possess 4 great
advantage over the ordinary sailing vessels.
This experiment. is regarded by those who
have examined it as quite successful, and des-
tined, with such improvements and notifications
IS experience may suggest, to effect a revolution
in steam navigation. If this invention (for
many of its parts and combinations are entirely
new inventions, which probably would secure
patents,) can provide an ample motive power
for sailing vessels, which with the necessary
fuel, will occupy only onesixth of their capacity,
(and in larger vessels it will probably take up
less room,) it cannot be long before it comes into
general use. The Anne Laurie is probably too
small to demonstrate the proftableness of the
application of steam by this new method. \
larger vessel, such as the Josephine, allowing
larger boilers and machinery, would doubtless
show it to much greater advantage.
Still, even in the case of the Annie Laurie,
we regard the experiment as a perfect success.
All that her protector, Mr.. Green, claimed for
her, she has done, and he merits the triumph
which his patience and industry have been re-
warded with. \ new era in steam navigation
will be opened, and We trust that ere long we
may see all our coasters fitted with auxiliary
propellers which may make them in every res
pect as reliable and fast as steamers.
On Monday afternoon, the Annie Laurie
sailed for Lahaina, and the leeward ports of
Hawaii, under command of Capt. j. Henry,
long and favorably known on that route. She
was crowded with passengers, having some - or
more natives and five or six foreigners. We
trust she may meet full success, aud her worthy
owner and protector an ample reward.

FROM THE OCHorsK.-The whaleship OheHo, Capt.
killmer, which arrived on Tuesday, brings the first
news from the Ochotsk fleet. She reports 20 vessels
including herself. with an aggregate of l5,O5O bar
rels, making an average to each vessel of Io2 bar
rels. This for a first report. giving the catches of
some of the ships to only about Sept. l, is remark
ably well. In another column will be found the re-
ports of each vessel, several of them hailiny over
1000 barrels. The Ohello left the Ochotsk Sept. %,
and comes in fall, having filled every spare eask on
board. This makes the fourth whaler that has come
into port this fall hailing full, than which no better
luck could attend them. We trust that the remain
ing vessels to arrive will show as good reports. The
weather IN the Ochotsk has been remarkably favora-
bic for whaling this season, and whales abundant.
FIRST RAINs.-The first rain that we have had
for several months, fell on Monday. On Tuesday
afternoon, copiOus showers also fell. which will re-
yive the pastures on this island, which have long
needed moisture. On the other islands, rain has
been quite abundant during the past summer, and
all the plantations are doing well. with prospects of
abundant harvest.

Correspondence of the T.. q. hdyertiser.)
Hawaiian Chri.tinus.

Mr.. EDITOR lis it true that the population Of
the Hawaiian Islands belong to the Protestant and
Roman Catholic creeds in about equal numbers? So
we should understand by the last Poiynesian.
Again, according to church statistics of 1862,
about p 800 Hawaiians are members in regular
standing of Protestant churches, not including bap-
tised children. Is it proper to regard all others, in
Guiding some 5000 baptised children, as belonging
nowhere. if they are not included among Catholics or
Mormons? So we understand the POlyneSian. Are
all foreigners in Honolulu. who are not members Of
the Bethel and Fort Street and Catholic churches,
unconnected with any religious creed or worship (,
There are some foreigners of this class. and there
are some Hawaiians. but the number of Hawaiians is
not so great in proportion to population as in most
christian countries. INQUIRER.
