SOUTHERN RIGHTS MEETINGS.

SOUTHERN MEETING IN CLARKE County,
We extract the following resolutions of South
ern Rights Meeting in Clarke county, Ga, from
the Southern Wing:
The Hon. Charles Daugherty being next
called, addressed the meeting, and portrayed in
most vivid terms the insult and outrage which
had been heaped upon the South so long and in
so relentless a manner by our Northern breth-
rem, as to be almost beyond endurance 4; he. ad-
vocated in his usual able lucid manner the reso-
lutions OF the Nashville Convention, with few
immateriai exceptions, and as he believed there
was no very great difference in the views of the
different speakers, he had drawn up series Of
resolutions which he intended to offer in lieu of
all those before the meeting, which he thought
all could unite upon; he then presented the fol-
lowing:
ReSOlued, Ist That we offer to our Northern
brethren the Missouri line, as a compromise of
the great question Of slavery, with protection
South oft
Resolred, Cd That if our offer Of compro-
mise be rejected aud any other offered US, we
will consider Of the SAM, and if fadmissible, con
sistent With our honor and paramount rights, We
will accept the safe for the sake OF l!e peace
and harmony Of the Union.
ReSolrea, Sd That if onr compromise be re-
iectcd and none offer ed Which we can accept,
then it will become the duty Of the slaycholdng
States to maiatain their rights by all such nelns
rs they deem proper.
There bein!, u large number OF citizens from
other couaties, it was requested that none
should vote except citizens Of Clarke county.
The question being then taken on the st res
oluton, the president announced that there was
but one dissenting voice. The vote on the sec
ond and third resolutions was announced by the
president to be unanimous.
So the resolutions submitted by Judge
Daugherty were received and adopted rs the
sense Of the meeting.
On motion, it was ordered, that the procee-
dings of this meeting be furnished our Senators
aad Representative in Congress, and that the
rlpers Of this State bc requested to publish the
same.
The meeting then adjourned.

COMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES MAIL . L "A M n +
COMPANY PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
THE public will be gratifed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desirous 60 out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round. This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impatence Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ship ps Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
VOYAGE through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. IIupsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt HITCHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt ScHENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt HARTsTEIN, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid and pleasant through passage to California.
