The news is not Of particular importance. while
generally Interesting. The san Francisco Cogamer-
cial Herald Of the oath. has the following Of inter
est to Us:
The question OF reciprocity with the Sandwich
Islands has again been opened. and this time the
probabilities are that it will BE- carried through.
When King Kamehameha departed this life, the
| solicitude Of our Government was shown by the
promptness with which the flagship California was
| dispatched to the islands, with Generals Schofeld
and Alexander. 1t will be remembered that Eng
land sent a war-vessel to the same place on that
occasion. which proved the anxiety felt by the
British Government. King Lunalilo is strongly
disposed il favor Of reciprocity, coupled with the
| cession Of Pearl River harbor. and has signifed
his intention to move in the matter without delay.
His views are. however, not only bitterly opposed
by the majority Of English and French residents,
but what is worse, by q considerable number of
Americans who were hostile to the Union cause
during our late war, and still retain the full flavor
of their animosity. We may remark, en- passant.
that the men whose hate against the Union goes to
the extent of actual ferocity never burned a grain
of powder in behalf of the Confederacy. The i'm
portance of bringing the Sandwich Islands within
the scope of American jurisdiction and direct pro-
lection is too obvious to require argument. Sooner

great maritime power, and their location nearly in
mid-ocean between our Pacific Coast and Oriental
countries with which we are building up an i'm
mense trade. clearly point to the United States as
the power into whose possession they will event
ually come, if the proper steps be taken in time to
secure that end. Were either England, France or
Germany to occupy the islands as a great naval
and military station, we should have a constant
menace at our very doors, which would cost us
heavily to capture and hold. Our mercantile rela-
tons with the Hawaiian Kingdom are also of seri-
GUS note, and they would be largely promoted by
a Reciprocity Treaty. The subject will undoubt-
eddy be brought up at the next session of Con-
gress, and we believe the time has fully come for
its adoption.
We compile items of interest from kilograms:

added that no negotiations with the Sultan of
Acheen were pending, as has been reported in the
public prints, but it was not improbable that they
might be opened. Holland was willing TO con- |
clude an honorable peace. but the reported condi- |
tons for a settlement were wholly inadmissable.
