The KOhaIa Plantation.

This is a new enterprise but recently COM
menced on the north district of Hawaii. \
part of the land now occupied for this purpose
was formerly the site of a plantation conducted
by Mr.. Aiko, now of Hilo, who says he took
from the land one and a half tons of sugar
per acre, from plant cane, and one and a fourth
tons from rattoons.
The enterprise has been commenced by an in
corporated company called the " KoHAIA SUGAR
CoMPANY." 1t is chartered for twenty-five years,
with a capital of forty thousand dollars, with
liberty TO increase the same to two hundred
thousand. Thirty-four thousand dollars have
been subscribed by responsible parties. The
company have secured about 300 acres of fine
land in fee simple and leased l2S more. which
was so situated as TO be a material convenience,
making over 5000 acres in all. 500 acres is
wooded, and the whole land easily accessible
by carts from the location of the plantation
buildings. \ fine public road crosses the land.
1t has never hitherto been known to suffer from
drought, and there is u plentiful! supply of run
ming water for all steam purposes. The land
runs down to the sea. There is a very good
landing at all times when the regular trades
blow, and a good buoy has been put down.
Two hundred acres are already ploughed, and
are now being planted, and it is the design of
the company to put in three hundred more the
next year. The machinery is contracted for at
Glasgow, Scotland, and it is hoped that it
will be completed and ready for shipment about
the end of the present month. 1t will be ex-
pected here about February, or March next,
and set up and in readiness for working off the
200 acres now being planted as soon as it will
be ready for the mill. The present officers are
Hon. G. VI. Robertson, President.
DIR. j. NJ. Smith, Secretary.
s. y. Castle, Treasurer.
Capt. Danl Smith. Auditor.
Additional stock is now offered for sale by the
company, and any one desiring to invest in this
very promising enterprise can have the oppor-
tunity of doing so by calling upon Mr.. Castle,
the treasurer of the company. The shares are
each.

The Ghost OF fhc Hawaiian Bible and Tract
Sncicry.

The Ghost OF ihe Hawaiian Bible and Tract
S~ocicty.
To the Editor of the Commercial Advertiser
DEAR SIR :-Rumor says, since the communication
in your paper in regard TO the Bible and Tract Soci-
ETY. having given up the ghost, there has been n shak-
ing amongst the dry bones. The directors have out
lived their term of Office, and have since met together
in regard to the moneys in the treasury, amounting,
to wit the value OF four life memberships.
These gentlemen, to whom the SOcicty's concerns
had been entrusted for the term of one year, finished
their term in June last, during which time they
never had a meeting" They have been stirred up
illegally to give away these funds to another Society.
The object does not sanctify the means, for the dis
posal of these funds belonged to a majority of the
Society, who were never consulted, and l must say
this usurpation of power deserves condemnation.
Is this the spirit of the age. The Society has come
to an end by unfair means.
1t appears the new Ecclesiastical Board of Clergy
and Confidence men had a little difficulty in cutting
off the head of the Hawaiian Missionary Society, and
in regard to the Hawaiian Bible and Tract Society,
some leading directors had a voice in the new man.
moth Society. The authors of its destruction leave
the mass of members to take COMFORT from the die
tionary, where those that are worth one can find 1t.
This late institution, when worked as In years gone
by, was made a blessing to the two foreign churches,
as well as individuals outside of them. Then there
was such a thing as vitality in a spiritual sense, and
we heard Of conversions.
1t is too bad to swallow the whole arrangement,
anaconda like, without salt, and a gross injustice to
those who have paid for life memberships.
Your obedient servant.
A LIFE MEMBER.

1t is proper to add TO the above report of the
Treasurer of the Bible and Tract Society, that at n
meeting of the Directors held July 10Th. the balance
on hand in the Treasury was devoted to printing Il
Tract on Stealing in the Hawaiian language.
As the new Board lately formed is to occupy the
ground before occupied by this Society, it is recon-

x LETTER PosTAGE-We learn that no instructions
have as yet been received at the post-offce respecting
the reduction of American letter postage, and
they are expected by the ship .HidRight. The rate
will probably be either fire or sir cents for the Amer
lean postage. The law of Congress says that ship
letters - shall pay six cents each but under the old
law letters from these islands. enclosed in a regular
mailbag, were not classed as 9 ship letters any
more than those received at New York from England
and France, but the term was applied only to stray
letters received by vessels from foreign ports. If the
same Interpretation is given to the present law, the
rate will be fire cents American and fre cents Ha-
waiian, making the entire postage on each single let
ter ten cents. But even if the letters from these
islands be classed as " ship letters" the entire post
age can only be IL cents, each single rate.
- A native in from Coco Head this morning,
reports a square-rigged vessel becalmed in the chan
mel. The telegraph has not signalled any yet, but
as it is calm the ship may not be along for some
hours. |
+ For THE EAsT-The bark Yankee will sail on Sat-
'urday, taking the mail. Files of the .7arertiser for
the past three weeks can be obtained at our counter.

REBEL BARB11KIS n.
How the Officers of the Negro Rcgt-
ments and the Negroes themselves
were Treated.


TIE following Is given us upon the author
ity Of Lieutenant Cole, OF the Mississippi Ma
rine Brigade: 7T.
The day after the battle Of Mi1liken's
Bend In June last, the Marine brigade landed
some ten miles below the Bend, and attacked
and routed the guerillas which bad been re-
pulsed By our troops and the gunboats the
day previous. Major Hibbard's 5 cavalry bat.
talon, Of the Marine brigude. followed the re-
treating rebels to Tensas Bayou, and were
ho1riaed at the finding Of skeletons Of white
officers commanding negro regiments, who
had been csptured By the rebels ut Milliken's s
Bend. In many cases these officers had been
nsiled to the t1ees-aud crucitted: In this
situation fire mas built around the tree,
and they suffered Il slow death from broiling.
The charrcd and partially burned limbs were
still fastened to the stakes. Other instances
we're noticed of charred skeletons Of officers,
which had been nailed to slabs, and the slabs
plnced agasnst house, which WAS set on fire
by the inhuman demons, the poor sufferers
having been roasted alive until nothing was
left hut chatred bones.
Negro prisoners rccaptured from the guer-
illus Confirmed these facts, which were am
ply corroborated by the bodies found, Us
above described The negroes taken we're to
be reso1d into slavery, while the white officers
were conAumed by fire. Lieutenant Cole
holds himself responsible for the truth Of the
statement,
