ed it eXPcdient to issue the subjoined Card,
as caution to such of their feIlow>citi.

taking the route over the Ishmus:
PANAMA, March 80, 1850.
We, the subscribers, citizens ofthe Uni
ted States, who have taken the Isthmus
route TO California, are now detained at
Panama, wishing fully to apprise emIgrants
designing TO come this way of the existing
state of affairs here, submit the following
statement, for the truth of which they in
dlvidually and collectively stand pledged.
There are now on the Isthmus not less
than thirteen Hundred Americans, and The
steamer Falcon is daily expected from n.
York with large number of passengers.
The steamer California has not vet arrived.
although long since due, nor is there YES.
sci of any description in ths port destined
for San Francisco, nor can we obtain posi-
tive assurance that any vessel is on her way
hlther. We therefore feel ii our duty to
warn our fellow clllzents against coming
this route for several months hence, as they
will certainly be subjected to much deten-
ton on their arrival at Panama. They
further advise their countrymen that there
are still on the lslhmus many passengers
who have been there six weeks. and that
the expenses of living are exhorbtant as
well as the price of passage to California,
which in the vessels that left last, was $500.
The accommodations and fare in these YES
sells were Of the most ordinary kind.
This Card is signed by 333 persons,
representing twenty>one States.

CApITaL FUSIsHMRST liz MIcHIeaN.-The
committee Of the Michigan House of Representa-
lives have reported unlavorably to the restoration
of the death penalty for capital offences.
The petitioners for the change asked the enact>
mcnt Of law similar to that of Maine, in place OF
the entire abolition of capital punishment, which
is now the law in Michigan. They pray for an
enactment providing that when verdict of guilty
is rendered al ainsr person for crime the pun
ishment of which is death the culprit is remanded
to prison. and there remains until the Governor or
ders him 10 be executed The Governor generally,
unless an aggravated case, urgent public ne
cessity compels him TO act, omts 10 pcIform that
duty. and hence the prisoner fingers out his days II
confinement, waiting the pleasure of the Governor
to carry the sentence of the court into execution
This law was reported in the Michigan Legislature
when the statutes OF that state were revised, but
was struck out and the total abolition OF the death
penalty substituted. The effort to get the last
Legislature TO reconsider the VOTE failed.
IT, We are pleased to ob:erve that il is the in,
tention of the board of supervisors in this town 10

the provisions of the new law in regard TO the
traffic in ardent spirits. To make the law effective II

Ohio, has shown the editor of the Cincin-
natl Gazette model of machine, of
his invention, for which he is about 10
procure patent, the purpose of which is
10 print the names Of subscribers on news
papers. 1t is an ingenious contrivancc,
indeed, whereby he says he directs about
$500 papers an hour, and with perfect
accuracy. The motion OF the machine
causes a series of tubes, connected to-
gether somewhat like an endless chain and
wherein are set the types forming the
name and direction, TO pass through and
give the impression; and this endless chain
is so contrived that when the series of
tubes, one, two, or any greater number,
containing the names for any post office has
passed and given their impressions, the
receiver Of the papers is instantly revers-
ed in position so as to throw the next batch.
of papers FOR another Office across tie
