LATER FROM AMERICA.

NEWS TO THE 14th NOVEMBER. RE-ELECTION OF MR. LINCOLN BY AN OVERWHELMING- MAJORITY. By the arrival of the schooner Maria Scott, Captain Brothers, from Tahiti via Waitntaki, we are in receipt of intelligence from San Francisco to the 14th November, the barque Onward having arrived at the. port of Honolulu on the 30th November. From the Honolulu Friend of the sth December wo extract the following:— RE-ELECTION OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. MOST CHEERIN'G NEWS. Vox pojpuli. The people have spoken; Abraham Lincoln has been re-elected by an overwhelming majority. The people’s vote is much larger than his most sanguine friends ever expected. There has been a great uprising of a great people. They have pronounced in favor of liberty, freedom, law, order union, right, and truth ; against slavery, secession, misrule, anarchy, disunion, oppression, and rebellion. A general thanksgiving day agreeable to the Proclamation of President Lincoln was observed by the American citizens at Honolulu. Mr. Mcßride, the Resident American Minister, invited the attention of all Americans to this subject by an appropriate call in the advertisement of the 12th instant. Religious services were held at Fort-street church at eleven o’clock and the day was spent in general rejoicing. Bonfires, illuminations, and rejoicings were called forth on the Ist December, on account of the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. The great event of the war is his re-election. Congress meets to-day at Washington. In about two weeks look out for the President’s message. General Sherman. —The movements of this General seem to dazzle the eyes of the friends of the union, and bewilder the rebels. Ho has destroyed the railroad North of Atlanta, burnt that city, and with 40,000 soldiers started for parts unknown. It is supposed Charleston or Savannah is his destination, although that is a matter of uncertainty. Some suppose he has gone to liberate the union prisoners at Audersonville, in Georgia. The whalesbip Mary, of New Halifax, was lost on the 18th September, in a gale of wind in N.E. harbor, on the coast of Siberia.
