There are probably thousands of tons in this thrown off mass.

You can inuiginu something of tho immense power exerted by the angry elements below tlio earth. At another time the earth opened us far up the mountain as tho eye could reach, down to tho sea. This crack has not closed up and it is probable that it will not; it is from one to seven feet wide, varying in depth from a few feet down to an almost unfathomable depth. It might not seem very strangu in view of the unusual ashation of tho earth, if wido cracks had opened through i ho'soft earth, but this opening fs for miles and mites through tho solid rock. At another place stream of soft mud burst out front the side of tho mountain and ran down over the plain below, burying a number of people and about five hundred head of cattle belonging to" a couple of friends of mine, who, before this disaster owned Ih6 finest cattle ranch on tho Islands.

I am unable to learn if this seriously injured them in any way moro than tho immediate loss, which probably amounted to $14,000 or Along tho coast of Hawaii (in the district in question) were several fishing villages. At tho time of tho most severe earthquake tho water receded from tho shoro and returned in an immense wave, sweeping all --before it. Houses, canoes, fishing everything was, swept off in-a moment--and some of the people. I do hot know how many were carried out to the sharks. At pno place whero there was a Pulu (an article used for upholstry) station, tho gentleman who ia proprietor, tells mo that tho wavo ran up an incline of perhaps 10'degreeH, a'distance of eight hundred feet, sweeping ayay his presses, stores, storehouses, stables, in fact even thing, and carrying them off into the soa.

Ho also states that at one place where ho had a storehouse there is now six feet of water, thns showing that, tho ground has sunk. In" I havo'Iately been and where I lived for three years, the shocks of tho earthquakes have been very severe? Not a dwelling or olherhouse re-, niaincd unscathed; stono walls have been thrown down, and tho people thoroughly demoralized. One gentleman from there, said that tho powers under the earth had Mmken it as 'a i "dog would shako a rat" During tho severe shocks ho fully expected tho earth to open and swallow him up. 1 is' on-'tho 1 nortH-ca8t' Bido of the and tho earthquakes have not been so severe as on the south-east side. HONOLULU, April DEAK I lost wrotoyou, I informed you that I should probably visit Kilo, in the U.

S. steamer Larkawauna. As I proposed, I made the trip in her, which, so fnr as the comfort of traveling is concerned, was a veryjilcnsanlone; but at Hilo we had such miserable rainy weather that was unable to go about tho country, as I to 7 hnd intended to go to tho volcano and pcisonally superintend the collections of specimens, which 1 intend to send to Hillsdale College. Wo remained at Hilo about three weeks and returned to Honolulu out of tho i am, glad of possibility of ouco more seeing tho pun and Aolinz that we could get dry clothing. I consider it tho "reitcst misfortune of my life th.tt I was not detained at Hilo for twq or three weeks longor, for within two or three days after our departure there commenced succession of tho buvcrust earthquake ever experienced nt the Islands, and as severe probably as are often experienced anywhere.

In onler that you may better understand the attempt at a description of tho fearful scenes which ensued, for at least ton day? after tho commencement of the shocks of which I am about to make. I shall give you nn idea of the geography of the Island of Hawaii, where the earthquakes and the subsequent eruptions have taken plnce. Hawaii is the largest Island of this group, containing about 4,000 square miles, while the whole group is no moro than 0,000. There are three distinct peaks on tho Islands, viz Afaunn Kca, over 14,000 feet high, soiiic- what rugged peak Hualalai, about 10,000 feet, it sort of ridge us seen from the and tho grand old Mauna Loa, something over 14,000 feet high, a mobt perfect dome with a diamotci at tho base of over forty miles. She holds within her awful bosom the very infernal regions, her breath scatters death and destruction on all sides- when she heaves her mighty bosom the earth trembles and nil inanimate beings become helpless with fear; tvuu the bravest shrink' with horror and dismay from her awful presence.

AVhen she vomits forth her rivers of molten lava, which, bounding over precipices, filling deep ravines and rushes into the sen, forui'- ing new hat bora or obliterating old she presents to the awe struck gaxo one of the most magnificent scenes that nnn can bcliohi. On the eastern base of Manna Lori, at an elevation of about four thousand feet is tho crater of Kilunea," by far the greatest volcano in the woi Id. The crater is about twelve miles in circumference, the- perpendicular w.ills of which, when I last saw it, were from six to eight hundred feet high--in which can always be pecn lakes of boiling lava, covering it sitiface cf more than ten acres I have seen at onu lime as nnny as seven of these the largest one being about six bundled Ret square. On tho south and cast hido of Mauna Loa vache, i.s a blope of fino pis- turo hinds, cut up by occnshmnl fiooils ol Ittvn, upon which aro several large cattle ranches. There are a large number of natives engaged here in various this district the severest consequences have ensued to the inhabitants, ns tho whole Ihland of Hawaii has been terribly i it was on.

tho of -March, (it was on that day or the 30th) commenced the fearful rocking of the wrth, which was destined to rondcr hninc- nearly all the people in this largo district of Kau, an extent cf four or live hundre I miles--burying many of its un- fuftimate inhabitants under its of mine who were on the spot, described tho rocking of the cailh as being almost constant for period of ten days. 'At one time the cat th would heave like the breathing of a huge monster, again it would'roll up like tho of the sea, actually making many.soi hick, and again would move violcntlv up and down, taking every living thing from their fuct; ngain violently jerking to and fio, throwing down houses and scattering btone walls to the ground. People living in one story frame houses were obliged to leave them, and seek safety on thu open plains. Ono gentleman who resided in tho district with his family, in describing the destruction of a largo stone church (which 1 had seen two or three yeaisago) On Tuesday last, the 7lh an eruption toiik place tin M.tunatoa about five mtlcs frbm the Loa. In a few hours the fiery ttrcanj was tumbling into the Pirciflc.

Thero is no danger ihat it will bo filled up, but it will make soinewli.it uf a change on htu coast of Hawaii. The eruption is on the south sidu of tho mountain, at an c'luvation of about 4,000 feet. 1'ho bottom of the crater of Kilauoa has sunk down nome live hundred feet, and instead of there being a half dozen lakes there is one single lake of lava, boiling and surging to an extent quite appallidg, being not less than fiom nine to sixteen snuaie miles of molten lava, constantly surging anil beating against the walls of the crater liko the ocean in a storm. If it isn't nearly h--1 I don't know what is. A gentleman who has been in the habit ofpassing the crater for 3'ears, passed it the other other day and said it was so frightful that he dare' not look at it.

I shall write' you from time to time, giving you on idea of the progicss of affairs in general. In tho meantime, you ate at liberty to show this to your friends, or make such other use of it as you sec proper. I Remain Yours, V. F.

ST. Louis, Juno 2. A number of prominent citizens of Dornna county, Now Mexico, including tho United States, county and judicial officers have petitioned Gen.

General Han-icy, President of the Convention, delivered tho following address: ADDRESS or OKNEIUL IIMVLEV.

General: Tho National Union Republican Party, assembled in National Convention on the 20th of May, appointed the oilicera of tho Convention, to wait upon you. In obedience to its instructions we give you copy of tho record of its proceedings. You will see that it was governed by the most patriotic motives, harmonious, enthusiastic and determined. Wo mean, in your own words, to save in peace what wo won in war. Wo mean to make it a practical reality in the United States that "all men are created cojial, endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which nre life, liberty vl h.ippiness." We intcryl that there shall never bo cause or opportunity for a civil war in this nation, originated cither by those who would enslave their fullow-mcn, or tlio3o who must fight or regain their freedom.

Wo believe there can be no permanent poaco save in justice and equal rights, and" tho equality of all men before the law. We hope to see our government reaching to the remotest corner and to tho humblest person, securing to him by impartial and irresistible power his personal safety, tlio right to the avails of his labor, nnd tho right and opportunity for physical, mental and moral advancement. Tho best guarantee for the continuation of such a government is to give to all classes impartially a share in its management. Wo' hear much of forgiveness and fraternity. We do most earnestly de- siro a speedy return of the policy and measures of peaceful times.

None long more for a fully restored Union than thoso who sustained this government during the 'Into dreadful war; but thu dead men left a trust in our hands. Wo long for peace and good will, but we have no friends who oppress their fellow-men. Wo do not idly and hopelessly ask for indemnity for tho past; we ask for security for tlio future. You will see how tho Convention believes that integrity, simplicity and economy in governmental aQ'uirs nre tho duties of good citizens and honorable men. It makes the strictest fulfilment of national obligation point of honor, novcr to be waivodwhilc tho civilized world recognises that tho full and final payment is tho only payment the Union Republican party will ever consent to tender.

The equal rights of adopted citizens arc already assorted, ami all people who love our government aro hospitably invited to como and enjoy its benefits and contribute to its strength. The Convention spoke in nothing more warmly than in proffering a hearty welcome to all those who, lately in arms against tho United Slates, nro now frankly and honestly co-operating in restoring peace nnd establishing a truly freo government.

We know you will bo faithful to tlio constitution and the laws, and tn tho sympathies mid principles you arc called to represent.

Wo know that you will not seckto enforce upon the unwilling representatives of the people any policy of your own devising, for you have said that the will of the people is the law of the land.

In behalf of tho Convention we tender you its nomination for President, nnd solicit its acceptance. Wo can give you no higher proof of our gratitude for your past, or our confidence in your future, than that wu propose to elect you. en INT'S REPLY.

After tho nppUuiso with which the above Rpccch was received had ceased, General (crant replied as folloivH: Mr. President and Gentlemen of the National Union Convention: I will endeavor in a very short timo to write you letter accepting the trust you have imposed upon me. Expressing my gratitude for the confidence you have placed in mo, will now say but little orally, and that in to thank you for tho unanimity with which you have selected me as a candidate for the Presidential office. I can say, in addition, that I looked on during the proceedings at Chicago with a great deal of interest, and am gratified with the hat mony and unanimity which seemed to hnvc governed the deliberations of tho convention. If chosen to' fill the high ofilce for which yon have selected me, I will give to its duties the same energy, the same spirit, and the will that I have given to the- performance of all duties which have devolved on mo heretofore.

Whether I shall be able to perform those duties to your entire satisfaction time will determine. You have truly said, in tho course of your address, that I shall havo no policy of my "own to enforce against tho will of tho people. CENEUAL n.lWLEV TO sriMKKH COLF.tZ. As the General concluded his ttpocah, there was a long continued applause. General Hawley then addressed Speaker Colfax, saying: J'Ypu have heard our declaration of principles at Chicago, and therefore I need not repeat them.

You aro aware that numerous candidates for the Vice Presidency were presented. They were all lovud and respected, and your selection was brought about by the good will and friendship entertained for yourself. You are known to the American people by fourteen years of public service. Wo know that you came from tho people, nnd without i'ulse pretense you are faithful to principle. The convention tenders you tho nomination of Vice President anil asks your acceptance.

JIU. COLFAXSKEI'LV. To this Mr. Colfax replied Mr. President Hawley and Gentlemen; History has already proclaimed that the victories of tho party you represent, during tho recent war, always gave increased hopes and confidence to the nation, while its reverses and defeats ever increased the national peril.

It is no light tribute, therefore, to the millions of republicans in tlio forty-two States and Territories represented in tho Chicago Convention, that our organization has been so inscpcrably interwoven with the best interests of the republic that tko triumphs of the one have been tho triumphs and reverses of the other. Sinai the General of our armies, heroic foliow-cru, crushed tho rebellion, tho keynote- of its policy, that loyalty should govern 1 'what loyalty preserved, been worthy of its honored recorcd in tho war, cordially agreeing with tho platform adopted by its National the resolutions' thereto attached.

If I did not feel that I had tho confidence of those I would feel less desirous of accepting the position. Tho acceptanco uf the office is not a matter of choice, but of duty.

The jiroceud- ings of tho convention were marked wisdom moderation and palroiisin, and I believe express the feelings of tho grmt mass of thoso who sustained the conntry through trials.

I endorse their resolutions. If I am elected the office of President of the United Status it will be my endeavor to administer all tho laws in good faith with economy, nnd with the view of giving peace, quiet and protection everywhere. In times like the prciot.t, it is impossible, or at least eminently mi proper to lay down a polity to bo adhered to, right or wrong, tliroiijli an administration of four ycuis. Now political issues not foreseen are constantly and tho vimva of thu public on are constantly changing. A purely administrative officer should always be left free to execute the will of the people.

r.c-ttcr. The following is the reply of Speaker Cotfsx to the committee announcing his nomination by thu Chicago Convention WASHINGTON, D. 0 May 30,1808 Hon. J. R.

Preililnnl pukllcan Uulon DEAII platform adopted by tho patriotic convention over which you presided, and the resolutions which so happily supplement it, BO entirely acrce with my views of a just national policy, that ray thanks arc duo to tho as much for this clear and auspicious declaration of principles as for tho nomination with which I have been honored and which I greatfully accept. When a great rebellion, which imper- illed tho national existence, was at l.tHt overthrown, the duly of all others, devolving on thoso entrusted with the responsibility of legislation, evidently was tu require that the revolted states should be readmitted to participation in the government against which they had erred, only on such a basis as to tncrcuso and fortify not to weaken or endanger tho strength and power of the nation. Certainly no no ought to have claimed that they should bo readmitted under such rule that their organization as status could ever again be used as nt tho opening of the war, to defy the national authority, or to destroy tho national unity. This principle lias been tho pole star of those who hive inflexibly insisted on the Congressional policy, your convention bo cordially endorsed. Baflled by executive opposition and by prcsistcnt refusals to accept any plan of reconstruction proffered by Congress justice and public safety nt last combined, to teach us only by an enlargement of suffrage in those states, cou'd tho desired ond be attained, 'nnd that it wits even moro safe to give the ballot to tho-o who loved thu Union than to those who hnd sought ineffectually to destroy it.

The, iwsurrcd success of this legislation is being written on the adamant of history and will be our triumphant vindication. More clearly too, than ever before, tho nation now rccogniw) that the greatest glory of a republic is, that it thrown the shield of Its protection over the humblest and weakest of its people and, vindicates tho rights of the poor and the powerless' as faithfully aa those of thu rich and tho powerful. I rejoice, too, in this connection, to find in your platform tha frank and fearless avowal, that 'naturalized citizens must be protected abroad, -at every hazard, as though they were native born. Our whole people aro foreign era or descendants offortisntrs; our fathers established by arms their cMit to be called a nation, and it now remains for us to establish the right, and welcome tu our shores all who are willing by thoir oaths of allegiance to become American citizens. Perpetual allegiance as claimed abroad is' onlr another name for perpetual bondage, and would make all slaves to tho Eoil whirutboy first saw the Our n.i- tiunil cimcterics prove bow futlifiilly thcsc oauw of fidelity to their adopted hnd have boon isc.iled in the life's blood rf tliotisamh npin thousands.

-Should we i.ot tiicn faithless to thu dead, if we ilMnot protect their living brethren in I he full enjoyment ofth.it nationality, for which side by side with the native born ciuri-uldiurs of foreign birth laid down their lives? It was fitting, too, that tho represents tives ofsi parly which had proved so true to national duty in time of war, should clearly in time of pcaco, for tho maintenance untarnished of tho national honor, natioml cmlit and good faith, as regards il.s debt, the co-t ofour national existence. I do not wish to extend thU reply by further comment on a platform which has elicited so licartv approval throughout tho land. The debt of gratitude acknowledged to the brave men who saved tho Union Irom destruction the frank approval of amnesty based on repentance and loyally, the demand for tho most rigid economy and honesty in the got eminent, the sympathy of the party of liberty with all throughout the world who long 'for the liberty wo enjoy and the lecognitum of the sublimo principles of tho Declaration of Independence, aro worthy of the organization on whose ban- Here they aic to be written in tlio coming cjnlbat.

If there had been no Republican party, sltvcry would to-day cist its Iwlclul shadow over the It'there h.vl been no Republican partv, i i pH'ss nnd free speech would he its unUowu firti.i tl.o I'citonnc to the Uto i i a i i yoirs II thoHepub- IUMH i-irty umld Irive been itricken from I'xiiitenou wlti'ii the inner of thu rebellion tmfuileil, and when the rcapone of rocrrimi was at the North, we would liave had no nation to day.

Hut for the Republican parly daring to risk the odium of Iho tax mul draft laws, our Ihg ciuild not have been kept flying in the fiutd until tho long hoped for victory came and without a Republican p.trty the civil rights bills and this guarantee of equality under the law, tn the humble and the de- funcclw aa well as to the strong, would not be to-day upon our national statute book. With such inspiration from the past, nnd follow ing thu example of the founders of tho republic, who wiled tho victorious General of tho Revolution to preside over the land his triumphs had saved from its enemies, I cannot doubt but our labors will bo crowned with success--and it will be a biiccess Unit shall bring restored hope confidence, prosperity and progress in the South, us well North--West, as Fast--and above all, the blessings, under Providence, of national concord nud peace.
