ADVENTURES OF 4 PRINTER ON THE Paciric.—By the Cherokee we received a letter dated Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, Jan. 1, 1860, from an old frien and fellow printer, whose adventures have been so much out of the common order, that_we extract @ ae of his letter for the amusement of our readers. The writer left New York in 1846, as a full private in Col, Stevenson's regiment. After the wars were over, he remained in California, where he was em- ployed by Gen. Vallejo as a carpenter at the time the gold mines were discovered. He of course took his chances at gold digging, but soon aban- doned the business. When we last heard from him (previous to the letter received on Friday,) he was one of the publishers of the Californian. He writes that he soon abandoned this spéculation. He con- cludes his adventures for the present by being wrecked one day on Honolulu, and marrying the daughter of the chief of the village on the following Sunday. But let him speak for himself. “The paper was slow pay in those times, so | sold out my interest and gained one or two thousand dol- jars, which I spent. Speculated a little, however,and did well—failed in some things, but made up on others, * On the 9th of October last, in company with seven, I left San Francisco on a visit to the Beauti- ful Islands, intending afterwards to sail to China, make our way overland to Russia, where I have an uncle, and thence to England, where I could take passage for home. On the 28th, at noon, when we were within two leagues of the harbor of Honolulu, it came on to blow « gule. We stood off, and suc- ceeded in worrying out the gale; but just as we were entering the mouth of the harbor, it came on to blow very hard trom the Northwest, and in five minutes we were hard and fast on the shore. I rushed to my chest for my dimes, and had barely time to secure them, when the hull parted, keeled over, and filled. I secured a spar, and clu it and the dust, like grim death to a deceased Al After being in the water about three quarters of an hour, lashed by the surf and bruised by the spar, I gained the shore. I kissed the earth where | first stopped, and determined never to leave it. Having 6 pounds of gold dust about my person, besides three or four hundred dollars in gold coin, | was com- pletely exhausted, and turned in for the night (for night it began to be) voanut tree, where I slept soundly until 12 or 1 o'clock, when [ awoke so stil with cold, and sore from my bruises, that I could scarcely move. To my great joy, I discover. ed a fire about half a mile to the West. It proved to be a village of the natives, (Kanakas), who, on learning, by signs, my misfortune, stirred fire, gr me some id pork, bread fru and a variety of eating mutter. After I posed of this, med in on some mats, where [ pe soundly until sunrise, when I arose, After I had made my toilette, 1 was introduced to the chief of the village. He is of high rank and much re- His name is Kanni, and he is related to the King of the Inlanile, He is very polite, spoke Bin gtick Geently, offered me a house, some land, and, his daughter in’ marriage, if I would live with his tribe and instruct them, as for as] was able, in the arts of civilization. I thanked him for his offer, and told him that | would think over the matter. After this interview, I went down to the beach, companied by @ party of the natives, to look al the wreck, but nothing could be seen save the oer on which [ caine re. When I discovered the sad result of the storm, I sat down on the beach and wept like a child. Ihnd lost. the only friends that L have had since Lleft my home. But tears are of no avail, so 1 made up my mind to bear it, and to accept the offer of the chief and become his son. Tacecordingly, on my return to the villa informed the chief that [would accept his offer. He immediately introduced me to the fair one. Her name is Niaara, Ciaty)- She is of a light fruper color, 14 years old, five feet four inches high, small hand and foot, black hair and eyes, and, above all, very affectionate.
