The situation of Mexico he looked upon as one which had been created by the rebellion, and the rebellion would really not be overcome until Maximilian were compelled to depart, and the Mexican people allowed to organize a Government without foreign interfer ence.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21 NOTES OF THE WEEK. 2f Drunkenness among the Hawaiians. tlie boat-boys in particular, is getting to be of fre quent occurrence and is a great nuisance, and j the question is where do they procure their j liquor ? When the police are blamed for not put I ting a stop to it, they answer that they cannot get evidence to convict a person of celling liquor to natives; that the natives will not inform. This may be very true, but we question if an in ventive genius could not obtain the evidence, par ticularly when he can almost any day see natives going soberly into grog-shops and coming out of them in a state of boisterous drunkenness. We have frequently heard Government officials say we want a law to thn and that effect, and immediately make a note of it for the next Legislative Assem bly. This is very proper, but why not first en force what laws we have, and if their enforcement is to no good end, let them be repealed and others substituted. We venture the opinion that the cause of three-fourths of the cases that come be fore the Police Court can be traced to liquor, and in many of them to liquor sold in violation of the law of the Kingdom. The Hawaiian ship lolanl. of Brewer JL Co 'a Boston Line, arrived on Wednesday last, in 145 days from Boston. From her first officer we ob tained the following- memoranda : Left Boston on the 2Cth May ; was IJ3 days to the line in the Atlan tic ; crossed in Long. 32 3 W.; from the ine to S. in the Atlantic was 35 days ; from thence to 50 in the Pacific wai 16 days ; from thence to the line was 33 days ; crossed in Long. llb W.; from the line into port was 28 days. Experienced good weather all the voyage. Made Hawaii five days before getting into port. The lolanl is dis charging cargo, in fine condition, on the Esplanade. By the Smyrnlote, we were in receipt of the proof of a new Hawaiian five-cent postage stamp, executed by tlie "American Bank Note Company" for the Postmaster-General. The stamp is printed in blue ink, and is one of the neatest extant. The engraver haa executed the centre fig ure, portrait of His Majesty Kamehameha V., with singular fidelity to the Carte do Visite of the origi nal which was enclosed with the order. 235 Some little time since a native was tip be fore the Police ifagistrate for cruelty to animals, having tied a hor?e out of reach of feed for some three or four day9. Br the suggestion of a gentle man in this city, we would call the attention of those in authority to the appearance of animals confined in the Pound iu Pauoa Valley, where they may see legalized cruelty to animals. Circus Co vivo. By Snn Francisco pnpers re ceived, we learn that Wilson's Mammoth Cireua"' will be in thin city shortly. The California papers are loud in their expressions of admiration of the performances f this establishment, and the public here will no doubt appreciate tlie performances of such artisfes as Ella Zoyara, Boss and Carlo, James Cooke, Olma, Barry and Mile. Gemma. jjKF By last advices, we learn that the American Government had detailed the iron-clad MonadnOck, and steamers Vandtrbilt and Tuscarora to join the Pacific Squadron, and that they would leave imme diately for the Nation. We may see some of the fleet here from time to time. Jtff On Monnay morning at two o'clock, a very heavy fall of rain occurred, it being the forerun ner of a Kona storm, without the usual -gale of wind. The wind was very light and southerly un til Thursday evening, when a light trade wind blew for a few hours. Z3- By letter from San Francisco we learn that the Comet would leave that port on the 30th Septem ber, with some sixteen passengers, among whom are Mr. and Mrs. Church, teachers for the Oahu College, C. L. Richards. Esq., and II. M. Whitney, Esq. -r Z3 A letter was received at the Post-office, by the last mail, directed to P. M.

The Fire Department of Honolulu made quite a display on Sunday after noon last, the occasion being the funeral of a mem ber of "Honolulu Engine Company No-. 1."

By the arrital of the Smyrniote, on Saturday last, in 21 Jays, and Oracle, on Wednesday, in 19 days from San Francisco, we haye news from New York to the 21st September, and from San Francisco to the 27th September. There are do items of particular interest. We are under obligations to Captains Lorett and Wood, and to Messrs. C. W. Brocks & Co., and J. C. Merrill & Co., of San Francisco, for full les of papers. The brig Kentucky hence on the 22d September, arrived in Sao Francisco on the 26th September. Nrw Yobk, September 13. The Fenians are loom ing up as a source of diplomatic trouble for Secretary Seward. The English embassy has carefully noted the Fenian demonstration, in the United States, and facta and statistics have been sent to the Home Government, which it is understood have become, the subject of communication and demands that may con be invested with national interest. The Chinese trouble has been unduly magnified. It is not expected that the State Department will sus tain the demand of our Minister for the surrender of Qen. Burgeviue, he having virtually denationalized himself by becoming a Chinese citizen. Private dispatches quote Gold in New York on the the 14ih instant at 143; and Sterling Exchange 10'J. Nfw Yore, September 18. The United States Cont-ul at Constantinople, in a letter to the State Department, dated August 14th, says that it is es timated that the victims of the cholera already num ber twenty thousand; the number of deaths in a sin gle day having reached one thousand. The iron-clad Monad nock, the steamer Vander bilt, and the screw steamer Tuscarora, will leave on the 1st of October for the Pacific. They are to be attached to the squadron cn that coast. These ves sels will be accompanied to their destination by Com modore John Rodgers. Official information has been received here that" the Brazilian Government has accepted, as entirely satisfactory, the explanations and the reparation of the U. S. Government, for the unauthorized seizure of the Confederate privateer Florida, iu a Brazilian port. New Yobk, Sept. 21. $72,000,000 have accumu lated iu the Treasury up to date. This is the tirst time since the outbreak of the rebellion that there has been such an increase of funds. Fort Smith, Sept. 21. A treaty was signed to day between the Commissioners and Choctaws and Chickasaw?, providing for peace and friendship be tween the United States. Said tribes agree that they will exert all their influence in compelling the Indians of the Plains to maintain peacelul relations with each other, with tho Indians of the territories, and with the United States; that slavery shall be abolish ed folever; thai the freed men shall be suitably pro vided for; that luids shad be issued to the Indiana cf Kansas and elsewhere; and the right of way shall be granted tor railroads, and that a ccneolidatiou of the Indian tribes, with a territorial form of govern ment, shall be recommended to their respective couu o'R New Orleans, Sept. 20. The Montgomery, Ala., Convention to day adopted a resolution requesting thv Provisional Governor to oali out the miMtia in each country to suppress tho lawlessness which exista in many counties. The population of the State of New York amounts, by the appearance of the present returns, to 4,350, 000. This is about the population of England in the time of Elizabeth; is nearly the present popula tion of Bavaria, and 700,000 more thau that of the Kingdom of Holland. The plan of the Kentucky rebels and conserva tives, so lately developed, is to elect a majority of the Legislature, repeal the expatriation law, form a State guard, to be filled up by returned rebel sol diers, and with this force re-enslave the freed ne groes. Blackwood's Magazine saya of England : " No toriously we have neither cannon for our batteries, ships-of-war, nor fire-arms in the hands of our troops capable of contending on equal terms with those of other nations." It is obviously getting to be fly-time with Mr. Bull. A West Indian paper professes to know of a sov ereign remedy for diphtheria. Here is the recipe : Take a common tobacco-pipe, place a live coal in the bowl, drop a little tar upon the coal, draw the smoke into the mouth and discharge it through the nostrils." Consistently. The same court and jury which de clared Miss Harris not guilty of the murder of Bur roughs, one week condemned Horatio Malouey to eight years imprisonment for stabbing a faithless mistress named Florence Wilson the next. A Wash ington letter says : If he had killed her it is un derstood the jury would have acquitted him." It is reported that Beauregard will soon arrive in New York on his way to Europe, having received permission to go on condition that he will never again take up arms against this country. The rumor also states that it is supposed he will enter the French service. We give the story for what it is worth. It is said that eighty plantations in Ixmisiana have recently been confiscated. These embrace many of the finest sugar estates of the Southern country. Mr. Conway, the United States government agent, is making arrangements to divide up these estates into forty-acre lots for freed men and poor whites. Some speculator has secured the ashes resulting from the burning of tobacco at the evacuation of Richmond, and shipped it North to be used as a fer tilizer, for which it is equal to guano. One vessel took away 6,400 bushels. A New Orleans paper says the property of John Slidell, comprising eight hundred and forty-two lots and Equaresof ground, with stores, dwelling.houses, and a banking-house, were sold for 8100,410. Be fore the war it was estimated at $800,000. The colored schools in Louisiana established by General Banks, embrace, it is reported, 126 schools, 230 teachers, 15,000 children in day-schools, and 5.000 adults in night and Sunday Schools; in all, 20,000 persons under instruction. The New Bedford Standard understands that a leading member of the bar in that city refused a re tainer from the party seeking to break down Miss Howland's will. He declared that there was no ground for the case to stand on, and that he con sidered it wicked to attempt to frustrate the provi. eions of an instrument which confers such benefits on so many deserving individuals and on the commu nity at large. A telegram dated St. Petersburg, July 26. says that the plan for a telegraphic line between Russia and America has been approved and signed by the Czar. The Russian government undertake to com plete the line as far as NicolajewBk, the remaining portion, from Nicolajewsk to San Francisco, being at the charge of the American company. ' The London Times, which proclaimed the United States hopelessly bankrupt before the close of the first year of the war, sings now to thi9 tune : We do not suppose that the debt of the United States, great as it is, will crush the energies of the American people. They have overcome greater difficulties, and are not likely to be deterred by the less." The Epocha of Madrid complains of the recent emigration from Cuba to the United States, and is alarmed at the proportion which it assumes. It states that during the last six months fifteen millions of reals, nearly two millions of dollars, have left the island to be invested in cotton land in Florida, South and North Carolina. Moee About Jeff. Davis. The Washington cor respondent of the New York Times says that those that know how Jeff. Davis is treated, how he looks ar d deports himself, and what is the state of his health, are very much amused with the imaginary pictures drawn concerning these matters by certain correspondents of New York and Philadelphia papers. The writer says that the food furnished the rebel chief is such he can eat with relish. He doesn't have strawberries and cream, nor boned turkey and mince pie, but he does have tea and coffee, beef and other meats, vegetables and cigars, and he makes no complaint whatever of any deprivation. It is not true that no one speaks to Davis. With Gen. Miles and Dr. Craven he converses freely, but never on military or political affairs, such reservation being a matter of his own choice. He receives letters from his family and those of sympathy and advice from other quarters, although none of the latter have been given to him. A Race Ef.rwK.rN Iron Clam. The Dictator and Agamenticus, had an exciting race from Boston to Portsmouth. They arrived off Portsmouth harbor, the Dictator forty minutes ahead, notwithstanding the bursting of a tube in one cf her boilers, which rendered for the time comparatively useless. The Asainenttcuz also claims to have been under some disadvantages, owing to bad coal, &c. From Ports mouth to Portland the monitors will have another trial of speed, and the friends of the Dictator believe that within that distance she can beat the Agamen ticus out of eight. The Dictator is said to have worked admirably cn her passage round to Ports mouth. Facts for Haters of Shiftless Negroes." Nearly thirty thousand negroes have been settled by General Saxton on the islands and adjacent planta tions of South Carolina. Of these, seventeen thou sand are now self supporting. Between twelve and thirteen thousand of those who have come in latest from the interior still draw rations, but all do it with the distinct understanding that they and their farms will be held responsible for the repayment ; and the experience of the Government with the others shows that this debt may be reckoned a safe and short one. None have beeu forced to come, and the locations upon the plantations have all been made to the satisfaction of the negroes themselves. Nothing can exceed the brutality of an English election. Foreign exchanges say that at Carlisle, ' Mr. Law son concluded his address amid a perfect shower of missiles, accompanied with the most ter rific howlings." Mr. Potter concluded his amid a fusilade of powder aud unclean things." When Mr. Hodgson presented himself, the uproar be came so terrific as to threaten serious consequences. Some one in the crowd discharged a pistol, and stones beginning to supply the place of soot and and ochre, &c, blood was drawn in several parts cf the crowd. The Mayor, after frequently retiring to the Town Hall for momentary Bhelter, directed the police to clear the space in front of the hustings. The police endeavored to do so without effect, and the rioting continued, during which it was impossi ble for .Mr. Hodgson to obtain a bearing.' When it was announced that the "show of hands" was in favor of Mr. Hodgson, the hustings was almost im mediately cleared by missiles, the favors of the mob being showered with particular aim at the Mayor, who, with the other gentlemen on the hustings, was covered with powder of all colors blue, yellow, black, white and green. The candidates were piti lessly assailed, heavy bags of whiting and soot com ing repeatedly in their faces, and but for the shelter of strong and friendly umbrellas, it must have re suited in serious personal injury. The proceedings were throughout of the most riotous and unseemly character; a constant shower of colored powder-bags, soot-bags, potatoes, rotten eggs and stale butchers' offal being poured upon the candidates and their friends." What a text these proceedings would have fur nished for a condemnation of " democratic institu tions," had they taken place in Carlisle, Pennsyl vania, instead of Carlisle, Eogland. The Great South American War. Nk.w York, Sept. 17. The Buenos Ayres journals contain some further very interesting items concern ing the Paraguayan war. There is said to be much apathy regarding it among the people of the Argen tine Confederation , who at e slow in joining the army. In order to stir them up Gen. Urguza, formerly their President, Lai issued a proclamation in which he says he considers the contest against Paraguay so sacred that he would go to join the legion kd the field, even if he ehould be deserted by his own chil dren; meantime the Government has made arrange mentn for raising troops in Europe, in order to drive the Paraguayans out of the Brazilian province of the Rio Grande. The Emperor has ordered that every fit man there must be put under arms, aud 30,000 from other provinces mus-t be moved at once and assist them. President Lopez, of Paraguay, is displaying most extraordinary vigor in his efforts to meet the assaults of the powers by which he is assailed. Every man and boy capable of service is being put in the army, and the necessary agricultural work is to be done by women. It is thought that Lopez has nearly one hundred thousand men under arms. He is well supplied with material of excellent character. From Mexico. New Yobk, Sept. 17. The Tribune's Matamoras correspondent, August 22d,says the term of office of President Juarez expires on the 30th of November next. Among the men of the Liberal party General Ortega is said to be a very fit man for the place. At this crisis be will find himself beset with all sorts of wants, first among which is money. The treasury and army chests are empty. His first care will be to fill them; then raise a foreigu force of from ten to twenty thousand men, about which a native army of from thirty to fifty thousand may be raised. The friends of the Liberal cause in the North are in hopes that Gen. Ortega has been able to do something in New York. The same correspondent, writiog from Camargo. says the Liberal force under orders of Gen. Escambado has come to this place after sharp fight ing with the enemy near the San Juan river, result-. ing in a defeat to them of some consequence. Gen. Escambado marched to attack a body of men escorting a conduct of specie going from Monterey in the direction of Matamoras. The escort left the train at Cadvilla to march to the aid of Matamoras, which the officer in command heard was being attacked by a strong force of Liberals on the 16th. It was at tacked by a column of 4,000 (?) men, whom Gen. Escambado.detached from his camp. In the pursuit the enemy were drawn upon the left bank of the San Juan river, at a post called Pasco de Lacobias. Ilia force consisted of about 600 of all arms, with a half battery. After""four hours fight they were driven from the position and put to flight. They saved their artillery, and only a small body, which could not exceed 200 men, kept its order. Among the dead which remained on the field were found the late rebel Gen. Parsons and six of his men. One hundred and forty prisoners were taken by the Liberal force, and car loads of arms, provi sions and ammunition. One hundred stand of arms were gathered upon the field. The loss of the Libe ral force was one commandant and six men killed, and two Commandants, five officers and forty-five men wounded. It is possible now for a large force to be gathered along the line of the San Juan river, and it is likely the force under Gen. Negrete will now come down to unite with that iu and about here, in which case a force of 7000 men could be concentrated. This would be strong enough for an attaok upon the enemy at Matamoras. In these two places a million and a half of dollars could be raised. With that the Liberal Generals would have means to increase their forces and march against other points. A Matamoras correspondent of the 25th says : We learn from a direct source that the force under orders of General Escambado amounts to about twenty-five hundred men, five hundred of whom are in Camargo, under General Esctanore. That place is at present the headquarters of the forces. A party of twenty-one young men, who had been in the United States in the late rebellion, went up to Ca margo yesterday, along with General Escambado and Staff, to serve as officers in the Liberal army. A legion of five thousand men could be easily raised for the cause. There is a want of ammunition felt by the forces in the North; they having only one hun dred thousand rounds of ball cartridges, and about five hundred thousand caps. This would give only fifty rounds for each man, and there is a great deal of firing in Mexican warfare. A fight of seven hours duration would spend it. I have reason to think that an attack will soon be made upon this place." Maximilian. If recent advices from English sources are to be credited the Mexican question will soon meet with a solution very much like a dissolu tion. Not finding the ancestral halls of the Monte zumas favorable to his health, the Emperor went to Puebla, but although on his arrival the streets were full of people, not a hand or voice was raised in his welcome, except from some English contractors on the Vera Cruz railway. From the moment of his entrance into a country he did not understand, and the political affairs of which were a puzzle to much nearer spectators than the Austrian pretender, he has experienced the fate of those who heartily embrace no bide, and is hated by all. He has neglected the Liberals who were mainly instrumental in bringing him thither, and has not reformed any of the clerical abuses under which the country groans. Among other laws which he sought to enforce was one for the suppression of convents and monasteries by the process of natural extinction; that is, such establishments would be suffered to stand until the existing nuns and monks died out, but no recruit9 were to be allowed to join them. In epite of this law, however, girls have openly taken the veil, and no attempt has been made to prevent their doing so. The machinery for the detection and punishment of crime is equally loose. Maxmilian is said to be much dispirited and suffer ing from dysentery, a disease which proved fatal to eo many of our men while engaged ia the Mexican war. I; tiro pen ii Intelligence. New York, Sept. 8. The World correspondent from Dublin, Ireland, says: Fenianism is at last spreading where it can do much good or evil. Agents have been iu Ireland, and in an indescribably short -space of time created the most terrible excitement. Not only here, but throughout the entire kingdom, the greatest alarm prevailed among the priesthood, the majority of whom, though opposed to the English rule, denounce from the pulpit the Fenian Brother hood. Their opposition against that order, in fact, alienates the people from the priesthood. They favor any movement against Eogland. either moral or provisional, but it must, they say, originate with them aud be guided by them. We now hear ot drilling all over the country; some places in squads, and in ethers by entire regi ments. The laty constabulary have bad a very hard time of it. Of late the authorities, ia many in stances, have sent them out reoonnoitering where the Fenians were drilling. Tbey are kept constant ly on the march, but it is seldom they meet with their enemy. Only three collisions thus far have taken piece, one of them resulting in loss of iife The young men in various part of Dublin have clubbed together and subscribed money, and as they cannot afford to go into the country and encamp there for several days, they have hired halls where they are taught in the military drill. The constabu lary here are aware of these secret assemblies, but either dare or will not interfere, and pretend not to know of their localities. Our friends in the United States can now look forward for some practical work shortly. The recent election in England for members of the House of Commons, derives its prinoipal interest to Americans, from the fact that Tom Brown" has been returned from Lambeth, John Stuart Mill from Westminister, and Mr. Gladstone from South Lanca shire. All these men are staunch friends to the United States, and distinguished in the world of letters, philosophy and statesmanship. Mr. Glad stone, to whom the Bigns of the times point unerring ly as the successor of Lord Palmerston, formerly represented Oxford, the so-called seat of English learning, and the very home of a pig-headed conser vatism which hoetelieea all progress, and opposes all reform, while it contributes nothing in the world of . politics or the sphere of ideas to the advancement of mankind, physically or morally, and but little intel lectually. Mr. Gladstone, moving, albeit slowly, with the spirit of the age, was not a fitting represen tative of musty and fungus-grown Oxford, to the influence of which we may trace whatever was de biiitating in his mental composition, and hesitating or dubious in his conduct. As the representative of an active, living constituency like that of South Lancashire, both the representative and the repre sentation will reach each other, and Mr. Gladstone, relieved of an incubus, rise fully to the measure of the position for which the nation and the suffrages of the world have designated him that of Prime Aiio ister of Great Britain. There are rumors afloat of a new European Con ference a Congress of the so-called Great Powers of Europe. The London Spectator does not admire the scheme, and pithily remarks that the consciousness that a seventh great power, impregnable at home and very formidable abroad, will stand aside indifferent but prepared, must tend to increase the consciousness that its decisions will but slightly affect the facts. No peace which docs net bind the American Union can have much effect upon the British marine." In the late English elections, the aggregate Liberal vote was 19-1.924, the aggregate Tory vote 178,787; Liberal majority, 10.187. When it is considered that only about one in seven of the intelligent men of Great Britain have the right of suffrage, it must be concluded that democratic ideas are making pretty rapid advancement in the kingdom. An English holder of Confederate cotton bonds,, which are mentioned aa being worth 74, writes to the London JVews that when the proper time arrivea he has no doubt whatever that each of the S'atea lately confederated will take upon itself its propor tion of the cotton bonds unliquidated, which amounts to little over 2,000.000. John Bull, aa an encour agement to his sccesh friends to do this thing, saya that if it is done the act of honesty will induce English moneyed men to give the Southern States aa much money on loan as will repair the ravages of the war; but. this reconstructive inducement will not serve to either increase the value of the rebel securities or encourage their payment. The Taurian speculator has been stuck" very essentially. In a recent trial for poisoning, in England, where the guilty person, a physician. Dr. Pritchard, of Glasgow, had poisoned his wife and mother, a brother physician who had been called in to attend the mother while dying, testified vthat he suspected and believed that she was poisoned by her son, but did not impart his suspicions, any further than by a letter to the Register that the death was " sudden, unexpected and mysterious," for the reasona that it might not have been safe, and that it was against etiquette for him to interfere! Two other physi cians, with whom he had consulted, agreed with him on this matter of " professional decorum !" This instance rather beats the Cambridge student who stood on the banks of the Cam, wringing his hands, and lamenting that he could not jump in and save a drowning man because he had not had an introduction to him. Etiquette is a great thing. The Prince Imperial is indisposed ; France ia in disposed in consequence. A fatal attack of measles might bring on a revolution. A rich foreign parvenu recently paraded In the Champs Elysees in a carriage drawn by six horses. Greatly to his astonishment, be was waited upon by a high functionary of the police, who told him that in France no one was allowed to use six horses except the sovereign. He complained that he could not have as many animals in bis carriage as be pleased; but he was informed that if he again pre sented himself with six horses, the animals and the carriage would be seized, and he himself would be arrested. The English Quern. The continued, and it is now supposed permanent abstinence of Her Majesty from all public festivities causes great dissatisfaction in London. Recently a further cause of dissatisfac tion was offered in the treatment that the deputation received who went to Windsor to present ad 1 Teases of congratulation on the birth of the young Prince. Tbey received not a word of encouragement in reply, but kissed hands and moved on" the answers being formal written documents. The Queen, it is said, spends a considerable portion of her time at Frogmore, where the mausoleum of her husband is erected; and this summer will be signalized by the erection of another of those memorials to the Prince Consort which are so numerous that they are be ginning to have the effect upon the English mind which the constant praise of Aristides the Just had upon the Athenians. Tue Pirate Shenandoah An affidavit of John Wilson, the carpenter of the Shenandoah, who has entered suit against the English agents for tho re covery of his wages, be having shipped in her when she left England to take in her armament, famishes an authentic history of this pirate, which is now spreading havoc among the whaleships in the Pacific. It was published in the London papers last January, and states that the first owner of the Shenandoah then called the Sea King:, was William Wallace, a London banker, who sold her in September last to Richard Wright, of Liverpool, a near connexion of the rebel agent in that city. In the same month, Peter S. Corbett was endorsed as master of the ship. Last October, the owner, Richard Wright, issued to Corbett, the master, a certificate of sale, empowering Corbett to Bell the Sea King at any port out of the United Kingdom for not less than 45,000. On the morning of the 6th of October, 1864, the Sea King cleared from London for Bombay, in ballast, and as an ordinary merchant vessel. On the same day, the British ship Laurel, the property of blockade-runners, cleared from Liverpool for Nassau, laden with heavy cannon, arms, fifty or sixty barrels of powder, and bearing some rebel officers. Wilson, a Scotch man, had engaged as carpenter on the Sea King, in good faith, supposing that she was going to Bombay and other ports in the Indian and Pacifio Oceans as a merchantman. His affidavit shows that the Sea King went immediately from London to Madeira. That there she fell in with the Laurel, and that the two ships went in company to the Island of Porto Santo, where, in Portuguese waters, the armament and stores were shifted from the Laurel to the Sea King, And that Captain Corbett there an nounced to the crew that he had sold the ship to the BO-called Confederates, and that she was to destroy American ships, especially whalers. He also intro duced to them, as the new captain, an officer in a gray uniform, whom he invited them to join. Nearly all refused to do so. The rebel flag was then hoisted, such of the crew as would not join were put on the Laurel, and the Sea King, having become the Shenandoah, started on her new career. Some of the seamen who refused to go to eea in the Shenan doah make a similar affidavit. 4 - t' Pi 1 v i, tt- 5. : p !' i-'. t i! I'' 7. V s . t
