EGTWe were wrong in the names given 1T our notice last week of the reception of the of feer and private at Great Burlington. The name of the Lieutenant was siggins, of the 4o,h Mass, and of the private, Chas. H. saddra o1 Go. F, 18th c. ", and enlisted from Winsted and nos Lyman F. Tyrell of the same company But the tacts were as we told them.
 The Great Burlington Courier, in allusion to the affair, has the following:
 "The same train that brought Lieut.. Sig gins, also brought a poor soldier boy, named Charles H. Maddra, whose appearance indica- ted that he was about worn out in the service of his country, and scarcely able to walk He alighted from the cars, spoke to few of his acquaintances, and walked down Railroad Street unmolested, carrying full knapsack and haversack, stopping to rest himself three times before he reached the corner. 4 meeting had been held in town and committee of thirty citizens were appointed to attend to the racep- ton of tn" returning soldiers, but somehow either none of them were present, CT failed to see the necessity for exhibiting any attentions to him. Young Maddra only lived two days after his return. We regret exceedingly that such circumstance should occur in our town. and there are some versions of the story which indicate that he did not desire assistance at that time. There was room in Mrs. Digelow's carriage to have accommodated him, ard the character of that lady is too well known for any one to harbor thought that she would not have heen glad to have had the use of it cxten- detl to the poor private soldier who came home to die."
 We observe that the Winsted paper of last week, with its usual facility in ''gobbling' items from us, gobbles down our mistake, with all the rest. We beg, for our reputation, that it will correct the error this week. We shall not often trouble it for corrections, or even for credit of stolen items.

L.. s. LETTER PosrAGE.-A bill was up before Con-
gress, 10 reduce the postage on letters between the
most distant parts of the United States 20 the uni
form rate of three cents. We have watched the
proceedings of that body to see whether the bill had
passed, but find only the following allusion to it in
the Washington correspondence of the fila. Since
the secession movement, the L. S. Post-ofice depart
ment has reduced its expenses so much that its re-
ceipts now cover the expenses, and it has asked no
appropriation from Congress for the next year. The
Southern States were always the great drag on the
department. Should the law referred TO below have
passed, the postage on single letters from Honolulu
to any part of the United States would of course be
reduced to 10 cents, viz Sc. L. S. postage, &c. sea
postage, and Sc. Hawaiian. The example of Eng
land and the United States should induce our law
makers to reduce our postage likewise to two or
three cents on single foreign letters, and one cent on
inter-island letters
Postal CEANGES.-The passage of a bill through the United
States Senate, re-orgauiEjug the postal system and providing
that the postage on letters between all parts CT the United
states, the PACING Coast included. shan pe hNed at three cents,
is one Of the most important events of the session. The author
of the bill Is Senator Coilamer, of Vermont, who has had eX-
perieuce in the Post-OhiCe Department of a practical nature.
their friends in the East, while the Texan, on the Rio Grande
border, might receive a letter from the extreme northeast corner
injustice on its face, and its abolition will he hailed with delight.
What a change from eleven years ago, when forty cents was
the postage between California and New York. 1t is To be
hoped that the rates Will be settled permanently, if the new
postal bill is finally passed. They have been changed fire.
Quently in ten years, and a man living out of the busy haunts
OF town might reasonably believe that the old rates still pre-
vailed. The adoption of al uRitorm postage rate between all

IMPRovED SUGAR EvAPORAToR.-There has been
considerable talk in town about a new evapOrating
pan and apparatus for making sugar, introduced on
J. II. Woods Plantation in Nuuanu. We have not
had an opportunity as yet to visit it, but learn the
principal features from those who have seen it at
work. The Improvement consists mainly of an evap-
Grating pan, so arranged, by being divided off into
partitions, that the current of juice in passing from
the top to the lower end of the pan. which requires
about twenty minutes, becomes fully concentrated.
and ready for cooling and crystalizing. So rapid is
the process of manufacture by this plan, it is stated.
that from the time the juice is taken from the
cane to its concentration, only twenty five minutes
are required. The Improvement, so far as we can
learn, is more especially adapted to the manufacture
of sugar on a small scale, the principle being the
same as is followed in our large plantations. But
even if this is its chief merit, we see no reason why
it may not be brought into general use. and any per-
son, foreigner or native, possessing from ten to twenty
acres and a small capital, may engage success
fully in the manufacture Of this great staple.

democrats" has the following language, which
shows which way the wind blows:


An wars must have an end, and this scourge on our nation
with the rest. But the rebels are not ready for peace, or to
even make peace by surrendering TO them the free navigation
OF the Mississippi, with the Independence Of the Cotton states.
They desire the territory Of the Federal capital, all Of Mary
land. all ;he territory Of the Old Dominion, ali Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Missouri, and all the forts and arsenals on the
Southern Coast. They would not only dwarf the old Union, but
and c5wardIy. but so disgrace US before the civilized world that
every foreign power would rghtflny spit upon US Better at
fjons Igs r 5nT J, WA" n q e c5sr NJ honor IN no home home. peace no
permanency. government no solid basis. in a country thus de-
based by its leaders. Whatever may be in store for the nation,
country, under one Government, with one Constitution"
This extract Will be enough to demonstrate
TO our readers that the war is not likely to be
abandoned even should the new party come into
power, which is not at all unlikely. There are
discontinued persons under every government,
who resort to every conceivable means to gain
influence and wealth, form party combinations,
and Issue new doctrines to carry their ends; but
in the long run, public opinion will override
all their efforts, and control public affairs to
the best advantage of the whole people. So we
have full faith will be the result in the United
States, even should this war continue for five
years.
From all sources, we gather that the public
prosperity throughout the North was never
greater than it now is. Prices of almost every
thing, excepting grain and food of all kinds,
are high, but the prices of labor have also
advanced, SO that the real condition of the peo-
pie is hardly changed. An intelligent writer
states, that he has never known a time when
the poor in the large cities found so much en-
p%loyment or so high wages as now. The war
has become u settled thing, creating new and
permanent branches of industry, and so far from
its being q burden, its effect is to create general
prosperity. Labor is scarce in almost every
branch of business, which will doubtless induce
large emigration from Europe.

ANOTHER SHIP ON FIRE-From Capt. Daley, OF
the bark Martha ID, we learn that an attempt was
made on Saturday evening last. April II, TO set his
vessel on FIRE, by n negro seaman named Richard
Madison. The captain and Sd officer fortunately
discovered the fire before any serious damage was
done. The man was examined on Tuesday before
the u. 5. Consul. who has passed him into the
hands of the local authorities. and ne has been COM
mitted for trial before the Supreme Court. This is
the third attempt TO burn whalers of this port
this spring, and 1t is time an example was made Of
any one convicted of this otfense. The penalty un-
der the American laws is death, but under the Hs-
waiian laws is imprisonment.

II CHANGING over our exchanges we find several
items of general interest, which have not been
referred to in what has already appeared, and
which may help TO give a clearer view of the
position of the great American contest, which
is in reality the all-absorbing topic of foreign
interest, and which, so long as it may last, must
exercise a predominant influence in the COM
merce and affairs of the whole world. 1t was
not an idle boast of the South that cotton is
king" for the events of the past two years have
proved that cotton or slavery (Which for this
are synonymous terms) is the most powerful
agency that has ever had existence in the world,
and it might have maintained and increased its
supremacy for years to come, had it not been
for the rashncss and treason of a few of its
iniudicious advocates or defenders. We do not
claim that the struggle is likely to be ended
this year, or that the South is soon to be defeated.
though others may view things differently but
there are signs which appear to be growing
clearer with each passing month, that the re-
sources of the South are gradually diminishing,
and rendering the contest in this respect more
onesided. while the leaders in the rebellion still
exhibit the same indomitable frmness and deter
mination as before. But these qualities with
out resources and popular support cannot con-
uer. To show that the Rebels have growing
