OFF FOR THE WAR.-Hawaii is likely to have her representatives in the revolutionary war in America. We hear that Nevins and Samuel Armstrong, sons of the late Dr. A., Munson Coan and one or two other Sandwich Islanders, had shouldered their muskets, and marched off at "the lawful tap of the drum," while several others of our boys had joined companies for drilling, holding themselves ready to obey orders if called upon. There is some tap of getting up a volunteer company in Honolulu, and if free or reduced passage could be secured, no doubt a respectably-sized corps would be ready at three days notice.
