HULo, Hawaii, June 24th, 1864.
Mr.. EprToR We have Just received the news that
the RTIauea-not our " kilauea,' - for nobody dares
EXPERIMENT will her steam.-has cost the Govern
ment already nearly SEQ, 600! for its share alone,-
about double what the whole steamer is worth
As it is The fashion. just now. to pile the agony
on to the wiseacres mt the head of this administra-
ton, I wish you would please ask them, how much
longer they are going to throw the money, that we
want so much up here on cur reads and landing
plaees.-and that we have helped pay into the treas
ury.-into the sea between Honolulu and Hawaii for
the benefit of the Honolulu Iron Works, and q lot OF
seasick passengers, who, 10 crafty squeamish, selfish
desires for the comfort of a steamer, would ruin the
Kingdom with their foolish theories that a steamer IS
Indispensable. and that the trade winds and clipper
schooners are not sufficient for the necessities of the
country at the present time
With his wonderful faculties, one of your official
correspondents can doubtless explain why the coun-
try. among it's Other pilikias, should not provide for its
necessities, but should 90 into debt for lururies.
The idea never seems to have got into the heads Of
our ministers, for The last eight or ten years, that
any improvements could be made of great service to
the country unless they are made in Honolulu, or In
such a shape that they could be seen there once q
week, or be laid up there TO be admired, ana 10 De-
come n bugbear to private enterprise, winch never
likes 10 interfere with Government iDonopoies' III
though they have chronic complaints, that make
themselves useless for months at a time.
But we Hiio people have ceased to wonder alta pol
icy which has so ~culpably neglected the largest and
best part of the Kingdom. in order to pamper to the
luxurious tastes of a few seasick but influential trav-
elers between Honolulu aud the windward islands
now that we have bad n chance to see and hear one
of our ministers, who, whatever he might once nave
been, seems nov 10 have " gone clean daft
Yours truly, sEADoG.

EXTRAORDINARY PAssAGEs-The barks Comet and
Il. a. Eidridge sailed from Honolulu May %, nearly
together, and late that night we're seen passing Bar
ber's Point, nearly abreast. On the 18th of June
they both entered San Francisco harbor. the same
day, the Comet going in ahead. She is undoubtedly
the fastest of the two, and Capt. Bennett deserves all
the more credit for giving his rival so close a chase
as he did. Opposition seems to result in shorter
passages between Honolulu and San Francisco Tho
passengers who went over in these vessels. bonnd
East, were enabled TO go forward on the 18th. and
would thus arrive in New York in 81 days from
honoIuiu-the shortest time on record. The fare to

4 dispatch from Northern Georgia, on the 9th,
states that the Federal army is still making towards
Atlanta. Rockers command is fortifying the hills
between Acworth and that place. Heavy rains Tor
two days made the roads almost impossible for the
army, and retard their movements considerable.
Late accounts say the Federal army crossed to Kesaca,
near Acworth. and Hooker is said to be five miles
east of it. on the old Alatoona road. Johnston's
headquarters are west of Marietta, his left wing being
at Lost Mou ntaiu. Hardee commands the right,
Polk the left. and Hood the centre.

The Gdseiie correspondent, under date

ments OF Gen. Shcrman's army since the
crossing of the Chattahoochie river.

On the morning Of the 18Th our cd.

ter considerable skirmishing the enemy
was dlslodged, and portion OF Howords
corps crossed, our lett in tho meantime
swinging around TO the Atlanta and
Augusta Railroad, near Decatur, and
tearing up several miles Of the track.
On the evening Of the 10th aud the
morning Of the Goth Generals Howard,
Hooker aud Palmer crossed with The bal
ance, the corps forming in line al along
the south bank OF the creek. At three
L. Nj. the rebels made desperate ard
sudden assault on General Howard, in
great force. The attack soon extended
to hooker's corps. Thorebels advanced
three lines deep. A portion of our line
at first wavered before this terrible onset,
bu, was quickly rallied, and there stood
as firm ss rock. Upon this portion our
line was massed over halt of the rebel
army. Both sides were fighting for the
first ,ine during the oamPaign in the
open field, s.
Before dark the rebels were thoroughly
defeated, having failed to break our lines
at any point. aud they retired ia disorder,
leaving most Of their dead aud wounded
on the field. Our loss will reach two
thousand men, principally ia Hookef's
corps. Tho rebel loss in killed, wound
ed aud missing exceeds six thousand,
including three brigaeier generals.

Jteu decided, by Inc Provost Marshall

Of these wnudtrers may bo gathered up

Now the question comes up had those

the volunteer. He may be mustered IN
the South. receive hi. bounty, both gan

would be cheaper for the Government.
Bot Il is cou,cndcd by somc high IN ou-

for the Agent to employ sui slitu,cs ox'
clusively. II this be SO, let ten, fiIlecn'
or twenty men from cnch township en-
ploy the Agent to procure substitutes Tor
them. This will clear each OF thcm Tor
the period for which the substitutes nrc
mustered, and besides, their substitutes
bv positive decision, may he credited to
the ,ownship. It Is therefore plain, hdi
If The substitute gels Government Jouniy'
il would be useless of our Agent in tho
South to drum up for volunteers, ngninst
those Agents who hire none bu, substi'
lutcs on the plea that these men not only
yet Government bounty but the money
which some man is ready TO give tor him
as substitute in addition. We will
wait until The Department decides the
question whether n substitute gets Gov
crnmcnt bounty before we advise cur
readers what Is best for them to DO. The
question must be decided OF once. De.
lay is dangerous.
n B.--Sincc the above was placed in
