UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
CoMPANY-THR0UGH PASSAGE TO
.,st .gpb CALIFORNIA

T,IIE public will be gratifed TO learn that the
i United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York 10 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, nj the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desirous 10 90 out, 10 sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round. This was done
from desire 10 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 preya-
lence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impotence OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions now all removed.
Three Of the four ships 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. HUDsoN.
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. HARrsTEiN, 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 rama
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

MEMORIAL

To the Senate and House Of Representatives. of the
United States in Congress assembled! The memorial
of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the
Of 18th Of September, 1880, thatthey are informed
and believe that the Indicated warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside the
land thus granted; that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid il permitted to sell the warrant.
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun e.
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
lieent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be 10 modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

no difficulty in making his cattle thrive
on hay. His oxen and stears are fed
literally on the best of fhay through the

BRILLIANT REPARTEs.-The dexter
GUS leap OF thought by which the mind
escapes from a seemingly hopeless
dilemma is worth all the vestmehts OF
dignity which the world holds.
It was this readiness which made
John Randolph so terrible in retort. He
was the .Thersites" of Congress-
tongue stabbler. No hyperbole OF scorn
could be launched against him but he
could oyertop it with something more
scornful and contemptuous. Oppose
ton only maddened him into more bril-
liant bitterness. Isn't it shame, MIR.
President said he, one day, in the
Senate, !. that the noble bulldogs OF
the Administration should be wasting
their precious time worrying the rats OF
the opposition ~ Immediately the Sem
ate was in an uproar, and he was clam
orously called to order. The presiding
officer, however, sustained him; and,
pointing his long skinny fingers at his
opponents, Randolph screamed out,
