James McUridk, U. S. Minister Resident, Honolulu. Honolulu, Nov. 4, 1SG3.

No custom is more worthy of observance than the time-honored one of annual national thanks- giving. Ft is the united voice of a people, acknowledging the sovereignty of the Ruler of the Universe, and tendering their grateful hom- yiTC to hllll as SUC.l h. It presupposes a Christian faith as its basis, while its observance is an acknowledgment that the ieople uniting iu it are a Christian community. This custom has lor two huudrcd years been olwerved in America, generally by proclamation the State (iovermrs. In 1SG0 twenty States held this anniversary on the last Thursday of November, and prior tO tllC Opening of the rebel- lion, there was a general desire expressed by the 1.

1 most influential paper? in Various parts of the Union that it should 1- changed from a State to a National Anniversary. President Lincoln is the first of the United States that lias given explosion to the general desire of the people, and has appointed the last Thursday in November the 20th instant as a day of national thanksgiving and praise A In respond- inp; to his call, and inviting American citizens and others observe the day, the American Minister, Dr. M'bniDfc, ha done what will meet a jror-crai restonse. A civil war may teem to some bo an nnGt period for national thanksgiving. But a glance at the history of the past two years will show us much for which Americans have reason to be grateful for respecting their country, even though the rebellion may be far from crushed.

When the American people, ty the only constitutional mode provided, chose Mr. Lincoln as their ruler, and he was duly installed as such, the fiendish ppirit of rebellion broke out. the Kile object of wujc, Was to wrest the government from the hands in which it had leen vested by the Constitution, and writ-? on the Capitol at Washington MicnT makes IIiciit." A rebellion was commenced, the object of which rvas and still is to trample on the Constitution, and make the majority submit to the minority. Th; rebellion, a winoritJ and a majoritV. iu to wmcn eiiuii a3 When the rebellion commenced, the govern- ment found itself criptded in everj respect.

It9 treasurv was depleted, it army reduced and scat- tred, its navv eont tj distmt quarters of the glube, from whence it could only take long months to recall it its ammunition, guns ana inniii nit ii, ii stores an tasen ou ana scutereu amuug inus-nuu were designing it? overthrew Traitors swarmed everywhere, in every department, controlling the i public records, and serving two master one for love, the other for money. Never, in the hUtory of any nation, has a rebellion of such magnitude been so well planned, commenced, and supported I in all its minutiae and that has not proved successful, and resulted in dismembering the revolted section from the mother country. No wonder, then, that the first sentiment of the half-bewildered loyal people of the Union was Jet the rebels go, it is useless to stop them. No wonder, when they turned back to history, they found little to encourage them to hope for a restoration of peace, and much that the rebellion would prove successful, and the Union be dismembered. No wonder that foreign governments the Hawaiian government among the rest hastily stepped forward to concede national riglitd to the Thus the rebellion began its leaders all flushed with hope and confident of victory from their well-laid plans, its papers boastin with a hundred tongues that the national seat of gov ernment was the object of the content, and would soon be conquered.

More than half the Repub lic was infected with the rebellion, though con- taming but a minority of the population. ith a firm Jifinrl hrtcv.r tho nmiKf tnv- i i-iniiicm eei to wurt uvpuiuoviu uie vicuiimi- tutional one, and for more than two jears the struggle has continued, with what success, we may see by a hasty glance. Maryland, Missouri, Keutucky, and half of Virginia, once claimed I by the rebels, are as firmly in the old union as is Maine. Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis sissippi, Florida and Texas are virtually redeemed Iroui the control of the rebels, and can aflord them little or no support. The rebellion is now circumscribed to the five southeast slave States, and these are so hemmed in, and cut oIT from outside aid, sympathy and support, that their resources are greatly crippled, and the prospect of their holding out euccessfully much lees than ever.

Thus we see the rebellion, which in 1SG1, numbered thirteen States, has been suppressed and brought within the limits of five while the power of the National Government, and its i ability to conquer, are now increased tenfold. If there was anything to encourage the govern- nient and the people two years ago, to undertake i i Ai I the supjiression of the rebellion, and the pre- servation of the legitimate government, how much more is there to encourage them now How different the tone of the Southern news-j papers now from the defiant and exultant lan-i guage uttered in 1SG1. What though the field bo lost." cries one of them, in the language! of Milton's rebels, all is not lost." Then their language was nothing but victory and exul-I tation now all is despair, destitution, poverty, and speed defeat. If ever the American pCO T'le had OCCOSlon for devout tlianks giving, tlli ie brightening prospect now before them of the final suppression of the rebellion, and the termination of one of the most destructive civil wars on record affords it. IJut especially have Americans and the friends of freedom here and everywhere reason to join in public thanksgiving, for the President's decree of freedom to the slaves in the rebel States, and the prospective abolition of slavery throughout the Union, for the decree is the most powerful means yet employed for the extinguishment of the rebellion.

Theru are no slaves in tho rolel extinct in fret; America. This is the conscience. of the slave-mongers' rebellion, and the only good that may ever arise from it. Whether Providence has permitted this rebellion for the sole purpose of bringing with it the freedom of the blaves, man may not be able to say but certain it is that this will be the result. We cannot forbear quoting here the closing sentences of the speech of Senator Sumner, bearing on this same question Thus far we the American people have K-en known, chiefly through that vital force Slavery could only desrade but not suIhIuc.

Now at last, by the death Slavery, will the Republic live. For what is life without liberty? Stretching from ocean to ocean teeming with population bountiful in resources of all kind- and univerr-al rnfranchisenienl it wiii le more than coiujueror. Nothing too vast for its wer nothing too minute for its care. Triumphant over the fullest wrong ever inflicted after the hlidiet war ever aged it will know the majesty of and the ln-aut of peace prepared always to uphold the one and to cultivate the other. Strong in its own iiiichty stature filled with all the of a new life, and covered with a panoply of renown, it will confess that no dominion is of value which does not contribute to hun aii happiness.

Horn in tins latter day, and the child of its own struu'-gles, without ancestral charms, but heir of all ages it will stand forth to assert the dignity of man, and wherever any inenih of the human family is to lie succored, there its voice will reach as the voice of Cromwell reached across France even to the ier- secuted mountaineers of the Alps. Such will be this Republic upstart among the nations. Aye! as the steam-enpinc, the telegraph and chloroform are upstart. Ccmlorter and helper like these, it can know no bounds to its empire over a willing liut the first Mage is the dea.h ot Jlavery." 5 f. cause for thanksgiving for the unexampled pros-neritv nF thn nation, even 1 ur i its civil war tht vc of the land.

and for the absence of foreign war when so many and perplexing rpiestions have arisen during this rebellion threaten it. In the entire history of the Republic, there has never been a year when an overruling Providence appeared to tniile more benignantly on the nation. There have been disasters and defeats, with heavy taxation, but fur all these its progress has been onward, and its prosperity great. And we trust t'rat Americans and those sympathizing with theru. will heartily join on the 20th of November, in the observance of it as a day of pnblic thanksgiving.

America my native land. Upheld by an All-Powerful hand. The right shall trunph o'er the wront', And ours shall be the victors' sons. The slave, so long in fetters iMiund, Shall make the Southern air resound With one long shout o'er land and sea. We bles our God, henceforth we're free, And star? and ptripns shall float once more O'er North and South, o'er sea and The Law of the Road.

Several accidents have happened lately, which arc attributable perhaps to ignorance of the law which directs persons riding or driving, always io turn to the right, in passing others. Not long since, a horse wa9 killel in Nuuanu avenue h- 6 cf tfa ho to.i cme wis so.eiy tim or tne ruer ui ttit. noise. the Kaznn was on the nzht side. Ua lues lav ft foreigner, evidentlv a stranger, wa thrown from his hor-e in attempting to by the leit.

The custom and rule varies in different countries some turn to the left, some to the right, and in others, i drivers don't turn out at all. Here the law is expli- i at, to turn to the right in p.i-sing, anJ persons caus- ing accidents or deaths by a violation of its provi- sions, are clearly liable for damages. i NOTES OF THE WEEK. A Captcbed Eagle. Capt.

Stivers, of the whale-ship Cicero, informs us, that during his last cruise northward, and when about 00 miles from the Fox Islands, a large American igle came on board, during the evening, alighting in one of the boats. A observing the stranger, at once approached and seized him, but the eagle struggled and fought bravely, and it required all the power of the sailor i to capture him. He was secured aud kept on board for several days, but as his food did not agree with him, and he appeared likely to die, Capt. S. loosed him and let him go.

The bird flew off nearly out of sight, tut soon returned and commenced flying in circles round and round the ship, till he alighted and was again secured. Will bird and fish were then caught for him, which he greedily devoured, showing that these were his accustomed food, on which he thrived and was brought into port. He has been taken to the American Hospital, where he will find a home, food and shelter, as long as his old guardian and patron Uncle Sam continues to provide for the wants of his roving sons. This eagle is a male and a very large bird. Some years ago, a female eagle was brought here by a whaler, and is probably liv ing here yet.

Perhaps if placed together, they may recognize their relationship, and the union prove a happier one than many other unions that occur, I i Colored Soldiers and Seamen The prejudice against colored men in the American army and navy is fast dying out, and both branches of the service are increasing the number employed. On the first of August, the United States army had about 30,000 colored troops in service, nnd it was expected that before January, 1S64, the number would not be less than 100,000. The navy, according to a late statement from the Navy Department, now numbers over 5,000 colored seamen. They were originally introduced as cooks and stewards, and for years were not eeen on deck. At present they are seameu, o-dinary seamen, landsmen and boys the marine corps and the ward room being the only portion of a man-of-war from which they are excluded.

At the South. too, negroes are now employed in every branch of military service, excepting that arms are not yet entrusted to them. But if the war continues many months, neceseity will overcome even that scruple, and they will be armed and employed as soldiers by the rebels. Tii a misgiving.

We learn verbally that the schooner Hannah went ashore in a blow at Nawiliwili Bay, Kauai, last week, and to save the hull, her masts were cut away. The accident occurred in nearly the same place where the ITekauluohi was injured some years ago.

We understand that the vessel is not so badly injured, but that she will be refitted. The schooner returned on Tuesday from the Marquesas, bringiug as passenger Rev. B. W. Parker, who was sent as delegate to that mission.

We have learned no particulars of the schooner's cruise, but hear that the missionaries stationed there were well. The small-pox was reported at Nuuhiva, and the schooner avoided touching there on that account. Smr Sale. We hear that the ship liadvga. has changed hands, on private terms, Jas.

James M. Williams, formerly in the whaling service. A more brave or persevering man is not to be found in the American navy. Up to August 1, the Ino had been in the United States service for 28 months, during which time she has been idle but three and a half months for repairs, During the balance of that time, llJi months, she has cruised 61,875 miles under several different commanders, r.ll the time in search of rebel privateers in the vicinity of wher they had been last reported, and jn the vicinity where subsequent reports prove them to have been at the time, yet the Ino has not been enabled to fall in with any of them." 'i Planters' Club. A notice will be found elsewhere, calling a meeting of all interested in promoting the cultivation of our Btaple agricultural products.

The plan is, we suppose, to organize a club, such as are common in other countries, at which different modes of cultivation and matters pertaining to agriculture, can be freely discussed, and views of numbers interchanged. Such clubs are elsewhere productive of much good, and one ought to have the 9aroe result here. THE WELL KNOWN PACKED 13Y E. KRULL, KAUAI. For Sale by Ed.

The urchin was covered with molasses from shoulders to foct, and hardly knew whether he was alive or ded, but soon recovered sufficiently to make tracks for water, where he took a salt water bath, which re. stored the color of his skin, if not that of his clothes.
