steam in the Pacific

We have always been firm advocates Of steam
ana steamers, aud have, on more than one coca
s.on, devoted our columns TO urging their intro
duction. both for inter-iziand and foreign service.
During our absence from these Islands, We have
had frequent opportunities for witnessing the
contrast between steamers and sailing vessels
Everywhere steam is becoming the chief hand
maid of commerce, agriculture and civilization,
and the whole world is destined to bow to her
supremacy. With these views, We have sought
TO have steamers introduced here among the
Islands, and between these Islands and Califor-
MIA, as our main hope for q permanent revival Of
business and agricultural prosperity.
1t has already been announced in our columns
that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company has
secured the contract for carrying the American
mails between San Francisco and China, and for
that purpose will establish a line of first class
steamships between San Francisco and Hong
kong. The long-talked-Of project of steam
across the Pacific is soon TO become q fact.
The company which undertakes it is Il wealthy
corporation, amply able, having a capital of over
twenty millions, so that there is no such word as
/" fail" about it. Besides, it is undertaken
under the direct patronage of the American
NOhtI lilllcllls Wal l4C iOCld bplAu "a nun -
million per annum for the mail service. The
plan Of the Company, as we understand it, and
SO far as it has matured, is this TO have four
frst-class ~side-wheel steamers, Of 1000 tons
each, (nearly similar to the Persia, Vander6ah'
and other large Atlantic steamships,) drawing
eighteen or twenty feet of water, and leaving
San Francisco once a month, to touch at Hon
olulu for coal and to land passengers, thence to
Kanagawa in Japan and to Eongkong. Re-
turning from China, the vessels will either go
directly from kanagawa to San Francisco by
what is called the Northern " circle-sailing'
route, over which fair westerly winds prevail
nearly all the year or else from Kanagawa TO
Honolulu, with fair west winds two-thirds of
the way, and thence to San Francisco. The
distances and time occupied by these steamers
from California to China, estimating $50 miles
as the average daily speed, will be about as fol-
lows:

their purchase in another ten days, and
be IN their counting-roon- or on their plan
tations within thirty days from the date they
started for California, there viii be more
travel and more pleasure in travelling, and with
regular steam communication there il aisays u
corresponding increase Of trade.

The return trips, if made by the same route, 4
would probably, owing to head winds, be at
least tpco days longer, making 81 days from
Hongkomg to San Francisco via Honolulu. But
if these steamers return by the northern route,
the distances and time will be about as follows

labor Inc message Wan pEOUeUy u0et NANNY
Of our domestic affairs. His policy In regard
to the restoration Of the Union will no doubt
be fully stated and explained. This policy In
wolves the admission Of regularly elected rep
resentatives from the Southern States to Con-
gress; and whether that point 10 treated sepa-
rately or merely referred to as corollary Of the
restoration policy, 1t will, We hope, be 80 clear
and incontrovertible as to remove every rea-
sonable doubt that may be entertained upon
the subject in any quarter. OF course Congress
will have to be organized before the Presidents
message is received, and we anticipate that, as
the time for action approaches, the radicals will
abandon the revolutionary projects which they
have been recently concocting and allow all
the legal members of the House to take their
seats without disturbance. Should there be
any danger Of revolutionary proceedings, how
ever, the message may be transmitted to the
public Journals, which are the real representa-
tives of the people, and may be accompanied,
as we suggested few days ago, by procla-
nation calling for q grand special election.
In any event we believe that Its declarations
and explanations in regard to the Presidents
policy will be so satisfactory to the American
people that there will be no ground left
for such constitutional or unconstitutional
grumbler as Wendell Phillips, who appear
to think it their special mission to find fault
with everybody and everything, not excluding
themselves. Wherever the foreign policy Of
the government is intimately connected with
the subject Sf restoration it will be amply
treated; but it is not likely that much space
will be devoted 70 our foreign relations in de-
tail. In his formal speech upon the reception
of the Minister from Brazil the President has
already expressed his views in connection with
the affairs OF this continent, referring quite dis
tinctly to the Mexican imbroglio; and Europe
at once recognized the application Of his re-
marks. The claims OF this government upon
Great Britain for the damages inflicted by
English prvatcers have already been presented
by Minister Adams and are being diplomati-
cally discussed. The Presidents kilograms to
the North Carolina and Georgia conventions
have settled the case oil the rebel bOndholders.
Brief references to these and kindred matters
will, therefore, suffice for the forthcoming mes
sage President Johnson believes that we
should attend to our domestic affairs before
attending to our foreign ailairs that we should
make no demands until We are perfectly ready
to enforce them; and we consequently presume
that the momentous message which he is now
preparing viii be mainly devoted to the policy
Of restoration, and that our foreign relations
will be in measure reserved for another
Presidential communication.
