The sandwich islands.

WARRINGTON, d. c., Jan. 8, 1873 Infer
British government has conceived the idea
that the Government of the United States will
avail itself Of the present condition OF affairs
IN the Sandwich Islands to seize and annex
them.
So far as the Administration Is concerned
u may be stated that there Is no foundation
for the opinion which appears to prevail in
Great Britain on this subject.
LONDON, Jan, 3.-The TINES this morning
says it must confess that Americans will
eventually people the Sandwich Islands, which
Will become valuable colony between San
francisco and China and Australia. The
Times reviews the question Of annexation by
hlisbustering, as heretofore practiced in new
countries by great powers, and doubts thu
right or prOpriety of any nation taking
possession or the Sandwich Islands in such
manner.

The Sandwich Islands question

WAsHINGToS, Jan. 3.-The Government has
not taken any steps looking to the annexation of
Sandwich Islands. The naval vessel California,
which has gone to Honolulu, was ordered there
before the death of the King was announced,
and not as has been stated specially to look after
the annexation OF the island. It ls officially
stated that General SchOneld, who has gone to
Honolulu Is absent on leave, and not by order oi

There 70 no division OF sentiment among this peo-

home. He says on the train from Louis
vile, Kentucky, he found ten farmers from
the North coming here to look for homes
in milder climate. The past winter has
been hard on Northern farmers. 1t has
induced thousands of them TO look South
for farms where their summers earnings
will not be eaten up in freezing winter
of four and six months. We invite the
attention of all such to East Tennessee.
Here they will find lands of every quality,
some very cheap, some for sale only at
good prices, some, again, at very reasona-
BILE rates. They will find it all land capa-
BILE of being made productive and profita-
bic. Being section soon to become an
extensive manufacturing region, they will
find it profitable to buy lands now.
A correspondent noticing a recent local
item in the CHRONICLE about spotted fever
seems to think it a disease common here.
Such is not the case. 1t is rare.
In regard to the comparative mortality
of spotted and typhoid fevers, we will
state that one of our physicians informs us
that the disease referred to as spotted fever,
few cases of which occurred here during
the winter, was q low, malignant form of
fever but seldom met with in any section,
and not dependent upon any general cause.
In regard to its fatality, it is more so than
typhoid, but happily more rarely met with.
There have been no cases of the kind since
that time, and typhoid fevers do not pre-
vail here at all, or at least it is very seldom
that case is seen. Diseases here are said
to be very simple in their nature, and
easily managed if taken in hand at an
early day.
