THE PACiriC Commercial Advertiser. (Of the gaiuaiinn glands. JLahaJna Revisited. With three good packcta running to Lahaina, all starting the same evening, passengers for Maui often find it difficult to chooe which to take, as each has its recommendations, patrons anl admirers. Steam, however, with us out- weighed, anl for certainty and speed must always tike the jalui, so, armed with a pair of sadJie-bags, and accompanied by a troop of juveniles on making the most of a two-week's vacation, we jumped on to the deck of the fteaai schooner Annie Ixiurie, C'apt.

McGregor, and in a trice were steaming oat of Honolulu harhor, windward-bound. Ei-ht or ten cabin passengers, for whose accommodation the vehsel could only boaet six bertha, w-jth a crowd of deck passengers, so thick that one could neither (it, walk or bland without reading on (rue poor mortal's corns, convinced jis that we n.u.t adapt ourselves to circumstano j-- while on board, and that inter island travel 3a 1864 is hardly better than in 1844. The comforts and luxuries enjoyed on our coasting ves, has been recently so graphically described by our own i-orref-pondent," in the adventures Phe-links," that vre need not recount ti ein here. They are the same everywhere. Tae Annie Laurie is only about 80 tons and probably the smallest ocean steamer afloni- in this or any other ocean.

Capt. McGregor has poor material with which to afford comfort to bis numerous passengers, and at times? must feel rather keenly the discomforts to vfhich they (especially ladies) are compelled to submit yet he fulfill all that he promises, amt that ia to make 44 schedule time." In biuootbcea with a light head wind, she makes easily 7 knots per hour. Leaving Honolulu at the anchored at Lahaina at A. day, which ia nearly up to the Kilaued's at-Vage time. Still the traveling public will rejokc.

There in a charm in voyaging thee little green isles of our own," which outweighs the discomforts endured even on the most uncomfortable of the coasters, and which, abroad especially, are read with peculiar interebt and cTrate in the heart of the tourist a long-sought wih, which in after years is often gratified by actual experience. Last summer, during a ebort stay in San Francisco, while conning over the numbers of an English monthly, in the well-tttocked rooms of the Mercantile Library, our eve caught an article headed To Lahaina and hack by steam," which had such a familiar look, that we glanced over it, and found it was copied from the Honolulu Advertiser of 1SG1. Calling for the twelve or fourteen back numbers of the serial, we found in them no less than five rural sketches' copied from our humble out-of-the-way journal into a metropolitan monthly.

We refer to it simply to show that our inland ifenery and sketches possess an interest abroad which repays the publication of them. We shall therefore transcribe our notes to fill an outside column or two, even should they possess no local interest. Lahaina has too often been described to need a repetition here. Sutfiee it to say that voyagers are always glad to fctep ashore from the small schooners, and from the parching sun encountered on the enjoy the cool sea-breeze that erpetually fans the town. To an occasional visitor, Latiaimt grown older, and is putting on her gray hairs her houses wear a rustier, gloomier look, her Mobie wail are melting slowly away, fences fare hard, and even that which surrounds the City Hall." the pride of the second city of Hawaii, is so dilapidated as to liea disgrace to the town if not to the government.

And yet, for all that, one can see improvement even under the dusty rolni that she always wears. The green that covers and surrounds her seems to grow more green, with fields extending to the right and left and up the hill-sides, wherever cane will grow. Sugarcane is the salvation of Lahaina. and to its cultivation, a large portion of the soil and of the inhabitants is now devoted. We have not heard any estimate of the area under cultivation, but should judge it to be not far from WOO acres.

It grows here most luxuriantly, ielding when well culiivated three and four tons of sugar to the acre. To grind this growing crop two mills have been erected, of which we shall notice first The Pioneer Mill of Messrs. Campbell and Turton, which has bepri in ojieration about 18 months. The mill, which is oi UG-inch cylinders, was made by Mr. Hashes of this city, is driven by mule power, and is capable of grinding cane sufficient to make on an average a ton of sug-ar per day.

From small beginnings, with an incredibly small capital, the proprietors have gone ci increasing and improving, till now they have establishment that turns out as fine sugar iU any on the islands. One of the firm being a carpenter, the other a mason, they have done their own work, even to putting up the buil.ngs and seating the kettles. The perseveranJt, industry, and Yankee ingenuity that have ctrolled this enterprise from its outset have crcp ned it with success. One fact is worth notienJ; that they make the best of sugar without no other fuel ever having been used but dri trash (the Eressel cane after it leaves the mii) For this, ahaina enjoys peculiar advantage Tthe dry and unny atmosphere enabling the mi to rely on trash with much certainty. This 'ill will turn oat about 300 tons of sugar this ytjF.

The Sugar Co. cjf ill, its name purports, is a comj.ny concern, organized under the joint stock uipany act, capital abo-it $30,000. The stocky both Lirainaano Honolulu. Mr. 11.

Wood is taJ local manner, and Messrs. IIo and ktapenLorst. oi this city, are the The mill, which is a large and powerful one, was made in the United States. The steam engine, that drives it, is of oG-huise power, manufactured by the Fitchburg Company of Boston. It is capable of turning out two und a half jns of sugar per day on an average, or say 700 tons a year, if the cane can be had.

It has been at-work only a few months, and when all its arrangements are completed, will doubtle pay a fair dividend to its stockholders, if well managed, lioth this and the Pioneer Mill are supplied with cane by purchasing the growing crops from the natives or foreigners, most ot whom raise only small fields, varying from one to forty acres each. The price paid for the standing crop, varies from 00 to $125 per acre, according to the quantity of cane likely to be taken from the field, it being cut and carted at the expense of the mills. The average cost of cultivating the first crop is about $40 per acre, and each succeeding or rattoon crop from $15 to $20 per acre. As most of the fields in Lahaina are cultivated by the owners, they receive a fair return for their labor. It will be seen at a glance that the success of these mill.

depends in a great measure on the management, as the crops have to be purchased at the lowest rates, and at the same time every encouragement given to cane growers to continue planting. The establishment of these mile must prove an incentive to industry among the natives, and afford them a good return for their labor. A thousand tons oi sugar annually manufactured in Lahaina will distribute among those engaged in producing it $109,000, even at tire low estimate of five cents a pound. This is better than a score of whale-ehips, and far more reliable. (To be Continued gnsinrss (inris.
