The Foreign News

The overland telegraph having recovered from
its: periodical indisposition, caused by Indian at
tacks and stormy weather, we have, by the
Sn,y3niote, advices from the war to about Feb.
-. The advance of General Sherman, and the
success attending the national arms everywhere
with the capture of Augusta, the second city of
Georgia Columbia. the capital of South Caro-
lima ; and a score of less important places, with
the evacuation of Charleston and the restoration
of the old flag to the battered walls Of Sumter
seem more like a tale of the Arabian Nights than
actual events of the year 1865. The bare an
nouncements viii be found under the telegraphic
heads, but for the full details we refer our read
ers 10 the Eastern journals.
The rumor that Wilmington and Mobile were
being evacuated may not prove true, but their
occupation by the national troops is Il matter of
secondary Importance now. Before this, the
whole Of the State of South Carolina will be held
by General Sherman, and all her railroads and
public works 50 completely destroyed that no re-
lance can again be placed on their use to aid the
rebellion.
Sherman's letter to a Georgian, given on our
next page, Is well worth reading, and shows that
his policy is to invite the revoIted States back to
their old allegiance, and that no obstacle pre-
vents, If the people choose 70 act promptly, and
elect their Congressman. Georgia viii probably
return soon into the Union, while South Caro-
lima, the hotbed of this long rebellion and wicked
treason, may have to pass through a longer
training.
An incident that occurred at the capture of
Fort Fisher, in which some of our gallant native
Hawaiians figured, may be referred to here. We
cut it from the New York HerqI1's account Of
the)attack
Captain Gibson Informed the men that he wanted
thirty five blue jacket volunteers, all that could be
spared from the guns; and ne wanted only such men
as would 60 willingly. with the determination to
plant the flag Of the Santiago first on the Tamparts
Of Fort Fisher. Those who desired 10 volunteer were
invited to advance TO the port side Of the vessel.
There was 4 pretty general rush, which Captain
Gibson stopped. As there were some thirty-eight
more than were wanted already IN the line. Among
them were four swarthy, broad shoulderel Sandwich
Islanders, and the entire crew Of the captain gig.

as much gIeesome hilaTity as n party Of children pre-
pairing for a picnic. The same spirit has been man
ifested on all the vessels. If Fort Fisher is not
taken, there will at least be some bloody work.

Monday, March 8, 1865.
Mr.. EDITOR Dear Sir At l \. NJ. Friday,
March 81. We were awaked from sleep by the most
severe earthquake that We have ever experienced
Ihe-sbock was accompanied by = heavy r~umbling
sound, which, with the violent rafting of every door
and window in the house. startled from their SUM
bers twenty four out Of the twenty-six inmates Of our
house.
The first and most violent shock seemed to continue
with a quick trembling motion for half n minute
after we were fairly awake \ few minutes later
two slight shocks were noticed. 4 band-box which
fell from a shelf. was the only article which was dis
placed in our house, by mother Earth's short spasm.
\ few persons ran out Of their houses, bur the most
lay quietly in bed waiting to see what would come
next. The dogs Of the village set Of a most vigorous
barking at the unwouted sounds and motions.
The shock we learn was felt in Kona, and we shall
be interested to know whether it was noticed through
out the island, and whether it was felt on any other
island Of the group.
1t was much more violent at Mr.. +. :. Lvman's at
Ksaiwa, a point but twenty miles from the volcano,
thar here. A letter just received from there states
that &" old jacob an intelligent native, who has
resided in keaiwa for seventy years, says that this IS

Jacob and his friend heard a loud report. and
thought it was thunder; then came slight shocks of
the earthquake which increased in severity every
shock for q minute or so. then it passed off asst came,
with slight shocks. He thinks it was three or four
minutes. l thought it must have been three minutes
that we felt 1t; shock after shock shaking the house
as if il would tear it from the foundation. Windows
and doors rattling, and bottles falling. There scanned
to bs great commissions and noises in the earth right
under our house 1t was awful 4! After the hard
shocks, it passed off gradually. Shortly after, We
heard a report us if something had come bounding
up against the side of the mountain from the inside;
then it came ~rumbling down till it reached US rs
another shock, but it did not continue very long.
We felt as many as FIVE more slight shocks before
morning

and were shut as tight as could be, we're opened nd

The Posi- oFFIcE-We learn that DAVID kALA-
KAUA, Esq, has resigned the Office Of postmaster,
and will I'll that Of Kings Chamberlain. There
have been several applications for the vacancy. and
from among them all, there can be no difficulty in
finding y good aud efficient postmaster. That de-
partment more than perhaps any other under the
government, needs a thorough business man at its
head, one who can command the fullest respect and
confidence Of the whole community. for it must be
that the private and Confidential CORES
~pondeUce Of the merchants, as well as packages of
great value, are entrusted to his care. At the same
time, it is q difficult and d.sagreeable Office to fill. as
We know from personal experience; and one that
requires in the incumbent great patience and close
application. The appointment rests with His Majesty,
and we DO not doubt that. in the selection Of a sue
cessor, ne will choose the best man to be had-one
whose appointment will be an honor to the govern
ment, and receive the appreciation of the mercantile
community, with whom he will be brought so in
timately in contact.
- Since the above was in type, We learn that Capt.
"a. P. Briokwood has been select. o fll the Office of
postmaster.

REGULAR DISPATCH LISE-Advicesf from San Fran
cisco, received by the last mail, report that The bark
Yankee was to be sold and Withdrawn from the
route, az she was too small for the increasing trade.
Many will regret to learn this, for she has been the
most popular vessel on the route, and by far the best
sailer, her passages averaging year after year, four
teen or fifteen days We hear that it is proposed TO
build Or purchase a third vessel of the size and ca
pacity of the UhisfeT, which, in view of the rapidly
increasing exports, is the right class to provide, at
least for the next FIVE years. after which steamers
will be called for and probably will be we'll supported.
Although the UhistEer has not been able yet to oh
tain a full cargo. still, before twelve months elapse,
she will be found none TO large to meet the wants Of
trade. -
