UNITED STATES MAIL 81 MSH IL
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
{eas CALIFORNIA

ga3s a CALIFORNIA.
TINE public will be gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements 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 TO go 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 Rio de Janeiro 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 impatience 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 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. af ta

OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. s. ~
FALCON, Capt. HARTsTEN, 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 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

CIRCULATION OF PAPERs.-ln looking over
the Tribune few days since we noticed the fol
lowing assertion in its business department. In
alludng to its own circulation the Tribune SAYS
Irs CIRCULATION in the counties trading to Du-
buque; now EXCEEDS THAT OF ANY oruERpA.
PER. We will not say that this is not true, for
we are aware that extraordinary exertions, have
been made to give it an EpnEMERAL circulation,
even to the giving it almost for nothing. We are
aware that it has a large list of THREE MONTH S
SUBSCRIBERS, at 25 cents head, and that this
boast is based upon this IS cent subscription, but
in any event, with the rs cent head subscribers
thrown in, we dispute the point with our cotem-
porary.
We say that OUR CIRCULATION is the
largest, and challenge our contemporary to the
proof.
We should not have noticed this assertion,
were it not that our silence might be deemed as
acquic scing in its afirmance, but now that such
an assertion is made, we dispute it, and call for
the proof. Now is the time to decide the cues.

Music.

Music.
Well may it be called the 'sdivine art for its
softcning, purifying and elevating inf uence can
only come from the source Of ali good, and our
first ideas of the employment and happiness Of
the blessed in the Spirit World, whether incul-
Gated or originated is question: are that Music
constitutes prominent part; ifso, and the pres
ent state is but preparatory one, ought not the
cultivation Of Music to be considered a duty
All who have done successfully, know and
feel it to be pleasure, neither does it like sem
sual pleasure leave sting hind.-The memo
ry Of music is pleasant, sometimes it breathes
tender sadness associated with loved ones
whose voices here heard no more. But,
when we think Of them as joining in the loud
"Hosannah,' or in the more solemn and sub
lime "Holy, Holy our sadness is turned to Joy.
l remember visiting the orphan asylum in New
York City, and among other exercises the chill
dren sang song of praise to God, and express
i've of gratitude to their earthly benelactors.
do not think an auditor present refrained from
tears,-so artless and confdng were the feelings
which the tones Of childhood seemed to express;
and in visiting with pnrty) the blind asy-
lum at Liverpool and South Boston, though we
were astonished at the exhibition of work of va
rious kinds, performed by the sightless inmates,
and at their requirements in the various branch
cs of an intellectual education. Yet when we
heard their voices mingled together in rich har-
monious song; there was depth of tenderness
"a pathos in the tones that stirred the soul of
feeling and we wept we listened. 1t is said
that Dubuque has the name of being unInuscal,
and the unqualified praise bestowed by the pa
pers on the performance of the Columbians,
would if not confirm that character, at least give
the impression that the editors were rather good
natured than critical. But l do not think the
character is deserved or need be so. | know
there are persons in Dubuque capable of appre-
ciating good music, and think if all those who
love music, and sing by note play on instru-
ments would form a "Musical Society," and
meet weekly or semi-monthly for practice, the
church choirs would be improved thereby. and
concert could be given occasionally bu the so.

ter of the place and eventually place it on re-
spectacle footing. P.
