How a sutlsr was Sold.

An army correspondent of the Cleveland
Herald tells the following story Of smart"
private and "sold" sutler:
We had call day or two since from "Hi.
Ovistt," of Euclid, now an honorable pri-
vate' in Battery &, Ist o. z. A, who told
US how one of the K boys sold sutler. 1t
seems that one of the boys was anxious to
celebrate the capture Of Fort Fisher, but
didn't have the wherewithalto "raise steam" b"
The sutler had whisky, but he was well
aware that he 0he sutler) wouldn't trust him.
but he was resolved to have canteen Of
whisky in some shape, and he did get it in
this manner: Taking tive empty canteens,
he filed one with water, slightly colored
with coffee, so it resembled ordinary ''com-
missary," and with both canteens in one
hand, he presented himself at the Counter"
of the suffer- and with the air Of imam Of

The sutler of cousse fills the canteen and
passes it to him, expecting in return $500
greenback.
II amt got any money, and would Ike
you to trust me, said the soldier.
That's played out don't trustl' re-
piled the hard-hearted sutler:
"Well, then you will have to take back the
whisky, for amt got cent" said the SOL
der in a mournful tone, at the same time
handing him the canteen containing the col
ored water.
tAll right" responded the sutler, who was
glad to get rid of a customer without money,
and taking the canteen of water he poured it
into the barrel and returning the Canteen to
our soldier friend, he walked off with his
canteen of whisky, having made, as he
thought. fright smart" exchange.

Departure of the Rev. T.. Smith and Family.

Df pa tnE u II nc a hs EBA Efu r "a III H. .
Mr.. EDITOR Among the large company of pas
sengers who sailed in the Comst last Monday after
noon, l noticed the Rev. L. Smith and family. 1t is
his intention to visit his native land, from which he
has been absent more than thirty years.
Mr.. Smiths missionary life has been mostly spent
in Honolulu, as Pastor of the 81 Native Church,
which was gathered by him and over which he has
watched up to the very moment Of his departure.
Most honestly, earnestly and devotedly has he labor
ed {" in season and out Of season. During she
period of the small pox, and when destructive cpl
denies have prevailed, he has been most unwearied
ia his labors He has not been the man to deviate o
hairs breadth from what he regarded as the line of
the Missionary's duty 10 escape the censures of a
carping and fault-fnding world.
His visit to the United States is with the cordial
impaired health requires that he should seek rest
and change of scene, and ii is TO be hoped he may
ere long return to renew his labors with health i'm
proved and energies renewed. prepared to labor in
the pastoral Office through another decade of years.
among Il devoted and warmly attached people. No
one witnessing the crowd of natives Of all ages ac-
companying him to the vessel, could doubt that he
occupied a large place in their hearts.
Leaving under such circumstances, and followed
by the tears, prayers and alOhas of those for whom
he has labored, be may well smile in pity over the
puerile and spiteful filings of Bishop Staley in his
late pastoral sermon. ---.

The TREMENDOUS BoMBAR

The TREMENDOUS BOMB ARDMENT OF Fort FISHER.
A letter from the 9Th Regiment Connecticut Vol
unteeTs, at Fort Fisher, gives q description of the
bombardment of that work, in which the writer says:
So continuous and telling was the fire that the gar
risOu was driven into the bomb proofs aud made no
reply with their guns, several Of which were already
dismounte1. At this time, the parape;s, traverses
and sloping sides of the vast earth work were fur
rowed and nOtched 10y the unparalleled fire which had
been concentrated upon the fort threedays and nights.
Yet the work was not weakened or damaged to any
considerable extent. Although shot and she'll fell
either upon or within the fortress, TO the number Of
$50 a minute, or q GOO an hour, il was not preached
nor swept away, but stood with distinct and dim out
lines nearly as perfect as when the first gun opened
upon it. This, and many other engagements, con-
clusiYely show that the most formidable offensive and
defensive works are those made Of earth. The bonn
bardment, az il progressed on this day, can be but
meagerly described. II was grand, terrible, impress
i've beyond the power Of human description. The
most concentrated and powerful fire had been re-
served for this day. The uncomely monitors ran
close ~in-shore, and delivered their huge shells with
the cusate-t accuracy and fine effect. The frigates
Colorado and UublSb, mounting two tiers Of heavy
guns, took their positions farther out than the yes
sels Of lighter %draught, and poured IN their terrible
and rapid broGdsides. They were constantly envel-
oped in clouds Of sulphurous smoke, through which
lurid tongues Of fire leaped from their oahen sides.
Our other %gunbOats were formed in line Of battle, and
Wed with each other in the terrible contest. The
peaceful sea was overspread with a vast extended
cloud OF battle smu Ike, through which the sun could
not force his genial beams. Probably a more coucen-
trsted and powerful navy fire was never Witnessed
probably was never equacd. So powerful was it that
the solid shot and shell hurled by our largest guns.
penetrated in some instances through Is feet of solid
earth and exploded against or within the bomb
proofs. l was told by Col. Lambs secretary that the
conclusion within the fort, from exploding shells and
solid shot, was most terrible and deafening. 1t
seemed a. If volcanic fires we're lelping and thunder
ing from the earth. The air Kissed quivered, famed
with missiles Of destruction. One uuceasing thunder
of artillery shook the earth. On this occasion, I
saw what l never before observed in a bombardment.
Large wrelths or rings Of powder smoke frequently
issued from the muzz.es Of the heavy guns, and Tis-
ing slowly and regularly, increased in diameter and
preserved their original form for q long time.

SATURDAY, APRIL 8.

HOTEL MEETING.-By advertisement we see that q
meeting Of persons interested in the establishment Of
a hotel, will be held this forenoon at the New Hall,
at IL O'Clock. The Committee on localities adapted
for the purpose will report. Any observing person
will see the growing need Of a hotel for the accom-.
mediation Of parties visiting here from San Francisco
particularly. Our packets come crowded, and as
has often been the case, parties have to remain on
board q day or two until q place has been found in
some private family for their accommodation. a
Hotel in a good locality, with a table we'll supplied
and neat, clean rooms for dodgers, would benefit
every trade and calling in this community, and We
hope to see the meeting crowded with parties ready
and willing TO aid the enterprise with both adrice
and funds. -
4THEN NATIVE DoCToR AGAIN.-In our issue Of Jan.
IS, we gave an account Of the trial and conviction Of
a native doctor, in the Police Court, for gross cheat.
The doctor appealed the case TO the Supreme Court,
no doubt hoping TO work upon the superstitions Of a
Hawaiian jury, and thus get clear. To the honor of
the jury, composed of eleven Hawaiians and one half
caste, he was convicted by 8 unanimous verdict, and
will now have an opportunity 10 work for the general
good upon our public improvements. We doubt
much if the Hawaiian House Of Mobiles would have
dared to convict the man, had they been placed in
the ~jury.box. So much for the people from whom the
delegates 20 the Constitutional Convention were
elected. -
/FmE-On Monday evening, about half past nine
O'Clock, a passer 10y saw n light in the tinshop of F. H..
s. G. ~Segelken, on Nuuanu street, and Immediately
gave the alarm. Upon forcing the door, the char
coal furnace was found in q case containing coal, the
fire being well under way. It was ex,iuguished be-
ore a general alarm was spread. Thus, through =
want of sufficient care. the whole business portion of
the town was in imminent danger.
r. p Parties in search of hands for plantations
would do well TO visit the race track on Waikiki
Plains, between the hours of . and t p. NJ. when
may be seen crowds of men, women and children, all
eager to bet from a rial to ten dollars on the scrub
races which are run there by horses from all parts
of this island. -

upon which the prison stands. Amy person who has

MiscegenatIon In Fact.

We learn that an american citizen Of
African descent" having caught the divine
aflatus now pervading our State and Ma
tional Governments, and feeling the ire
pressible impulse to elevate his race to an
equality with the whites, has taken the on
ly practicable method of doing so-that
now recommended by the advance guard
of the great negro elevating party-he has
taken unto himself a wife of the American
stripe.
We understand he approached all the
Protestant and Catholic Clergymen with
the request to solemnize the rites of mat
rimony, and they all refIsed-compelling
the prescribed darkey to adopt the more
secular method Of tying the sacred "knot"
by employing j. P.
Now this looks like business. If our
law-givers would only offer bounty for
Strengthened African soool and saddle
colored pickaninnies, and ''show their
faith by their works." by rescuing some
fair African damsels from their estate of
single blessedness. we are sure they would
do far more to make ethiopia stretch out
her hand" Especially the female portion,
than all their paper resolves and negro-suf-
frage legislation put together.
