NOTES OF THE WEEK.

REGULAR DISPATCH LISE.-Alive TO the impor-
lance OF the carrying trnde between this and San
Francisco, which the increase of our pl; nations, ard
the industry and energy Of our planters have de.
veloped within the past three years, and with the
spirit of enterprise which has ever characterized their
house since its inception, and from that inception
it's identification with the commerce of these islands.
Messrs. McRuer & Merrill purchased, on the Ord in
slant, 1T San Francisco, the bark TPhisYer for S22-
500, lately arrived at that port from New York.
We are informed that this vessel. which is intended
TO run regularly between this and San Francisco, is
one Of the finest specimens OF naval architecture,
strongly constructed, the material being white oak
and rates 4 l clean. She is not two years old, and
was expressly built for her late owners, Messrs.
wakeman. Dimon & Co, of New York. Her regis
tered tonnage is 56S, but her outward freight list
from New York shows her carrying capacity to be
1000 tons. She was to be laid on the berth for Homo
lulu. as soon as the Yankee sailed, and would leave
about Aug. Is. Her cabin Accommodation are not
spacious as those of her sister packets the Yankee
and Comet, but We understand that as soon as she
returns to San Francisco, extensive and comfortable
additions will be made in that respect. and such as
mature experience has shown to be best adapted for
the California and Island passenger trade. She will
probably be placed under the charge of our Old
friend md towusmau, Commodore John Patty, under
whose broad pennant, emblazoncd with its almost
decennial inscription,
"Fi; emblem Of deeds, which are done in our cline"
il is to be hoped that she will make many successive
trips, augmenting the heraldic numerical honors in
the Commoder's pennon, and increasing the wealth
and mercantile renown Of the enterprising mer-
chants of the :" pioneer line," who own her.

Conflicting Reports.
HAGRRsTowN, Aug. 1S.-Many exaggerated
rumors prevail in relation to affairs IN the val
ley. 1t seems certain that the rebels are in
motion, and the probability is that they will
soon encounter our troops. Owing to the ex.
ctement, many persons from the country have
arrived here. In consequence of conflicting
reports, 1t is impossible to come at the truth Of
affairs.
We still occupy Martinsburg, but, as mat.
ter of safety and precaution, the quartermas-
ter's stores have been brought to Hagerstown,
and also the SICK, who are receiving the best
attention.
The stage started out, to day, from this place,
but was ordered back.
T. From all the indications, it would seem that
stirring times may soon be expected.
