We ARE always glad to acknowledge the
receipt of such criticism as that of our
courteous and well informed correspondent
writing from Maui, on the Eth inst, con
corning our last weeks article on the re
cent State trial in Norway
The writer of the GAZETTE article in
question, followed very closely the tele-
graphic communications, and the editorial
comments thereon II the London Times of
February 29th. He did not attempt to
describe the relationship between the
electors on the one hand and the Storthinp
or its constituted chambers the Lagthing
and Odelsthing on the other, neither is
there any expression of opinion as to
whether the veto power of the King of
Norway, is absolute or suspensory. or
either according to the question aft issue.
1t certainly appears justifiable to use
the term constitutional questions when
the decision of the Rigsvet or Supreme
Court finds the Minister guilty on three
different counts in an indictment, each one
being the fact of giving unconstitutional
advice to the King, the advice being in
each that the veto be used, ,sisalsed the
Supreme Court says on three different oc-
cSSons.
Cur correspondent also takes exception
to the sentence ''to dispense with the dan
gerous services of his Minister for the flu
ture, it may be hoped that he 1.-THE Kingl
will not find it difficult to come to terms
with the Storthing" If our correspondent
viii glance at his GAZETTE of the 14th inst.
he will see that the passage is an extract
from another paper and is marked as a
quotation in the usual way. It is taken
from the London Times, newspaper which
is generally credited with a staff of well
informed writers, who in this instance are
within direct Geographic communication
with the field of actien commented on.
Our article did not attempt to discuss
the Norwegian Constitution in its details.
nor did it pass an opinion on the results of
the matters in question, except in so far Or
they are already passed upon. by what fol

not intend, and have not done any wrong
to his country or compatdots. We have
to thank him for the light his letter ha.

AND the seven years of righteousness. that was
in the land Of Egypt. were ended and the seven
years of dearth began TO come"
Hawaii has been enjoying her years of
plenty since 1876, and now in 1884 it looks
very much as if the years of dearth were
beginning to set in. Unfortunately Ha-
waii has not, as a nation, prepared herself
for the dearth, she has not stocked her
graineries as Joseph did for the Egypt
ians. and thus enabled them to tide over
the evil day, she has fairly wasted her sub
stance and seems apparently bent on vast
ing it still more. Instead of being financial
ly sound. we find ourselves after season
of unprecedented prosperity seriously en-
barrassed, heavily in debt That is. we
have not only got. through all the cash
that has come into the Treasury, but we
have drawn bills upon our future prospects
and those prospects are by no means very
bright: yet the bills will fall due and we
shall have to pay.
The whole of the population of these
islands depend upon the sugar industry,
let that industry suffer and every person
in the group will feel the pinch The
great staple IS now suffering severe de
preston: whether the price of sugar will
ever again be what it has been is very
predetermined. The European beet crop
will in all probability be good: the acreage
under beet and sorghum cultivation in the
United States is greatly increasing; the
time may come when the United States
will have a surplus of sugar, and instead
of importing, export. All this means that
the staff upon which we have leaned is
wearing out. As was said in these columns
last week, we have put all our eggs into
but one basket and they stand an excel
lent chance of being broken altogether.
The attention of our inhabitants then
should be turned to new industries. We
should study the question of Romic thor
oughly, in this might possibly be our
safety. We should encourage small far
mers: we should encourage vine planting,
there are many paths by which the indus
trious may raise thmselves to competence
if not to fortune. Above ali we should
practice economy, both public and private
We have been wofully extravagant and it
will be very unpleasant to begin cutting
down expenses, but it will have to be done
and the sooner We commence the better.

The Wreck Of the 0uipnebaur.

To TIE EDITOR: 1t has always been mys-
terry TO me 70 know the real cause of the wreck
ing of the Quinnebaug ON the Goth of July, 1855.
As was member Of Co. A, 10Th Penn, was
one OF the number who witnessed that exciting
event On the evening of the 18th of July.
1855, the 10Th boarded the ill-fated vessel at
Morehead City, N. c., and during the evening,
while lying aboard of the vessel, engaged one
Of the sailors in conversation. During our
talk asked him about what time we would
make Cape Hatteras the following night. and
in reply he said: You will do id well If
you ever see Cape Hatteras." His reply i'm
pressed me very much, 30 much so that shall
never forget 1t. On the morning Of the 20th
we set sail, and part Of our regiment being
aboard of vessel named the Ella Knight,
which started first, the Quinnebaug followed in
herwake. After leaving Morehead City for quite
distance the water is shallow on either side
Of the channel through which vessels pass in
and out from the city. On the morning Of the
2Oth the wind was blowing heavy gale, and
the sea was running very high. We met with
no difficulty until we were entirely outside of
tae channel aud some distance out in the At
lantic, when perceived the vessel was turning,
and In very short time we were in the trough
of the sea, and although we had full head of
steam and were under sail, yet, it seems, il was
impossible TO get her head to the waves. In a
few minutes there was q fearful shock: the
vessel had struck rock. / was afterward in

boilers she would explode. This caused me to
undress and prepare to take to the water II

A Chicken.Roost Raid.

To THE EDITOR: If this should reach any
of the boys Of the 46th Ohio, 9Th Iowa and 10th
Ill., who happened to get in the rear of our
marching army on the march from Memphis to
Chattanooga in the Fall of 1863, and were raided
on by some bushwhackers while we were help

from them.

road and gave the Johnnies the contents of our
rifles, we dispersed as if by magic / did not stop

Yanks were Sherman's chicken thieves and

To THE EDITOR: Seeing an account of

of the 22d H.. in charge OF hospital at Cairo,
H. in the Fall of 1861, prompts me to write
up little reminiscence of that hospital. And

PREMONITIONS.
Killed On the Rappahannock.

To THE EDITOR: Noticing in your issue of
Sept. IL several articles on premonition, or pre-
sentiment, recalls to mind an instance Of SINH
lar nature, which will relate The evening
of Nov. z, 1868, found the First Division of old
John Scdgwick's Sixth Corps directly in front
of strong force of the enemy intrenched and
fortified along the river at Rappahannock Sta
tion, Va. The Third Brigade, composed of the
5th Wis, 9th Me-, Add N. Y. and 49th Pa, was
assigned the duty Of charging upon the rebel
batteries and their infantry support located
upon the bluff about three or four hundred
yards distant Capt Walker, Of the 5th Wis,
with whom the writer had become quite inti-
mately acquainted, asked for drink of water
from a canteen, at the same time describing a
strange forboding that had come over him,
firmly impressng him with the fat that he
was not coming out of this action alive. He
was brave little officer, who knew no fear,
but his countenance and voice on this occasion
indicated dependency and Encouragement.
He took paper and hastily penciled two brief
notes, one TO his father and the other to a lady
correspondent, which, together with slip con-
tanning directions for the disposition of his
effects, he returned TO his pocket 1t was quite
dusk when the order to charge was given, and
in moment the whole heavens seemed lighted
by flame of fire, as the brigade, with pro-
longed cheer from every throat, started on
double-quick up the hill in the face of with
ering blaze of death and destruction from every
rebel gun. In less time than it takes to tell
the story the enemyis works were carried and
all the artillery and most of the infantry and
colors captured.
Among the killed during the hand-to-hand
conflict in the fort was the brave Sergeant 10
Goodwin, of Co. A, 9Th Wis, who was shot
down while turning rebel gun upon the ene-
my. After brief search Capt Walker was
found halfway up the hill, dead, having re-
ceived rebel bullet in bis head. His effects
were disposed Of as indicated on the memo
randa found in his pocket, his body buried on
the battlefield, and the writer penciled an cpl
taph on piece of broken caisson which mark
ed his resting place on the banks of the Rap
pahannock--J.W. STILLwELI, Co. A, 5th Wis,

THE lsr WEST VIRGINIA.

To THE EDITOR: ] have read with interest
the several communications on the battle OF
Port Republic in your issue of the 25th ult.
Recollecf ions viii differ about such things, but
for my part-and l was there-I do not recall
either the 5th, Goth, or 123d Ohio, as mentioned
by Sol. Z. Smith. Of Lincoln. H. On the other
hand, Capt. K. A. Seymour. of West Hartford,
Conn, omits entirely to mention our regiment,

That regiment was assuredly there, and lost

killed or wounded.
want to take exceptions to remark mado
by w. E. Baldwin, of Youngstown, o. He says
his regiment, the 10Th Ohio, was the "last to
leave the field" significantly adding, "only
escaping by taking 10 the hills" Now, / am
not blaming any one who made his escape after
the defeat at Port Republic by taking to the
hills. But after the 18th Ohio took to the hills
there were some troops still on the field. The
LIST w. Va. was ordered TO cover the retreat.
The writer heard that command given and
as well as they could, the men of that regiment
held their ground while other commands were

FIELD. Then our regiment, or at least what
part Of il was iR hand, took up the rear. All
this time the enemys fire was very heavy and
constantly increasing. As we left the bottom
land by road leading through the woods, i
believe we received the last artillery fire of
the enemy. II was from Eeld battery, and
one Of the shells struck and instantly killed

Der of Others, among them Serg't J. A. Macau-
Icy, now in the Pension Office. From that
time on for miles the enemy closely pursued
our retreating column, brayely pressing up and
receiving Eeli-directed fire from squads of
our men, who were from time 10 time rallied
by their officers; conspicuous among whom
were Col Thoburn and Major Duval, of the
1st w Va. / am sure that orr regiment was
ia at the very close of the battle of Port Re-
public, which. by the way, was by all accounts
one Of The blocdicst affairs of the war. I do
not believe the Union forces numbered over
$500 men, and they met, probably, 10 times

blood of which was poured out on the cane and
cotton fields of the low lands of Louisiana
Alabama and Mississippi, and whose heroic
achievements have gone down TO the silent

by the historian. Our noble comrades died as

Their lonely graves dot the shores of the
Mexican Gulf and the borders of the great

that died of malaria in the low lands on Louisi-

and nearly all our company officers were killed

by our side on that bloody field, Aug s. 1862.
