MoRE OCEAN STEAMERs.--Two splendid
steamers, of similar mould and capacity to the
Northemer, have been contracted for, to run on
the coast Of Peru, the starting point from Pana-
ma, or rather Callao, to extend as far as the
mouth of the Oregon River, touching at the
various places between these two points. They
are TO carry the United States and Oregon mail,
in connection with Mr.. Laws steamers, which
are to ply on the Atlantic side, having Chagres
as the terminus OF depot. Two of the latter are
now in course Of construction. They are to be
large, and Of elegant build and finish. The
Pacific steamers are contracted Tor by one of
our most eminent mercantile houses, under the
auspicesI Of which an enterprise Of this charac-
ter cannot fail to become a profitable invest
ment. The Importance Of such line has been
felt for years, but never to such an extent as al
the present time. are informed that two
more lines, consisting Of eigh, steamers, for the
Southern and European trade, are to be con
structed in this city during the coming year.
We are in possession Of the particulars in rete-
renee 20 the contemplated steamers, which will
be given when the arrangements are ma'ured.

GREAT FIRE AT CHARLEsroN|f esterday morn
ing, between four and five o'clock, fire broke
out in a large ware house on the south side OF
Exchange wharf, which resulted In the entire
destruction of the building, and It's contents,
which were valuable. AS tar az we have been
able to learn, about 1900 bales of cotton were in
the store, and also quantity OF tobacco bagging,
coffee and other merchandise. The following
particulars of the loss of property, are all that we
have been able to collect. The building in which
the fire originated was insured In the South Ca

Dukes & Co., whose loss In cotton rs estimated
at or 900 bales, were insured for 1000 IN the
above Office and $4,000 in the Agency OF the

had some rope and bagglog IN the building,
which were covered by insurance In the Charles

of $4,000 Messrs Chambers Whites loss IN
cotton, is about $50 bales. These gentlemen also
occupied room on the ground moor OF .nal por,c

bacco belonged to another house, and so far
as we can learn, was not insured. Messrs

PoLrucAL CoSvKSrIoss.-We want a revolu-
ton. The great masses Of the people, of both
parties, want a revolution. For the last twenty
years we have been rolling downwards and
downwards ia a ship OF locofocos, covered with
corruption. led away by the folly OF politicians.
But now the pople are tired, and want a revolu-
ton Of some kind.
IL is probable that now the prospect is more
favorable Tor a Reconstruction Of political par
ties than ever IL was There 10 General Taylor
the great. the good. the brave. the simple. the
correct man. Why do not people, Of all parties,
organize the electoral districts, and act for them
selves throughout the land, and put down the
tyranny and corruption Of the corrupt conven-
,ions which have been running the country for
the last twenty yearsl
A private history OF the doings aud intrigues
Of the politicians Of Tammany Hall, or any other
hall. would not be more disgusting. more abomi-
nable or more astonishing, than the history OF
the secret factions OF Venice, or Rome, or Flo
renee, during the darkest period Of the middle
ages.
The wing party, for the last twenty years, has
been equally corrupt, rotten and deceptive. II il
time the people themselves should rouse in all
directions, and prepare an immediate civil revo-
luton throughout the whole country, and make
an election without being led or driven by any
sect, faction, or party OF office holders.
Now is the time, when Congress is just on the
point Of meeting, that the people should show
their determination to be independent of all con-
ventions, or of Congress, or Of factions, or Of
cliques. The people must depend upon them
selves.

Cheat & Grow Rich.

/ THIS has been the secret principle of too
/ : many Of the wholesale dealers IN Tea.
up 10 this time, and they have pracsised ths
most shameful imposition on the Countr,
Merchant withou, any fear Of detection
| But new era in the Tea Trade has come
and the PEkIN TEA COMPANY claim:
tie honor Of its introduction. They were
the first 10 raise the banner Of Reform. or
which it has inscribed the simple words
"Pure Teas at Honest Prices"
A complete revolution has been the conse-
quence Let consumers of Tea everywhere
look at what we have done.
lst We were the first 10 seud them Teas
that used 10 be called too good tor them be
fore
2nd. We have driven out of the market
a vast amount of trash. and introduced bet
ter class of Teas than has yet ever been
sold. Importers Of Tea often come TO us to
get Tor their own use. and tor their friends,
fine qualities they can fnd nowhere else.
3rd We have reduced prices more than
IS per cent, both in Black and Green Teas
The wholesale sfocers say we are running
the trade and calls US humbuss. This we
have done already, and now see Wild! we
are ready 10 90. sa=.a -
ist We will sell Teas by the single chest,
half chest. or ID ID box, al the same prices
that wholesale srocers pay 10 the importers
when they buy by the hundred packages.
End. The wholesale grocers allow only
Is or at most Ia lbs tare 10 the half chest
This is cheat We VIII allow, in most
instances, S and Is lbs tare on the same.
Sd. We hereby undertake 10 sell every
kind OF Tea from siz 10 t,relue cents per ID.
cheaper than the wholesale grocers do.
How can we do this, asks the country
merchants?
This is our answer. We are content witt.
seven per cent profit instead of % s. 50 per
cent. la wholesale grocer.
We deserve the thanks OF the country
merchants for saving them hereafter from
being cheated. Let them cone to the Ware
houses of The PEKIN TEA COMPANY
aud compare samples OF Tea they get else
where; and II they buy bad Teas then, al
high prices, il is their own fault,
An English importer lately boosted TO US
that he could make more money by spndlng
bad Teas to the New YORK market than on
good Teas. We are resolved 10 overthrow

cry town in the Unl'ed States 10 come for

PEklN TEA COMPANY; and We pledge
ourselves, thai II IN SIX months they do not
sell more Tea than the Oldest and largest
dealers IN the town, we will give them our
Tea wi,hou, charge. This is plain English
aud cannot be misunderstood. We appeal
for testimony 10 the immense success of cur
agents In any rari oithe United States.
