THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION
OF THE
MARYLAND State Agriculture,

Maryland State Agricultural society.
A. peal TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
~ STATE AGRICULTURAL SocIETY.-We desire
that YOU should bear in mind, that on the 23d
Oath. and 25,h DAYS of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the c,ty o.
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, TO
bring for exhibition thereat portions OF your Stock,
the products Of your orchards, and Of your gcrdens
Don I presume that any animal, or Product, you
NAV own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits OF any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for YOU to arrive at, will be that what you nave
is as good, if not better than that of Others and
that it behooves you to gallantly enter the list OF
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the Judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you VIII ENJOY
the luxury of knowing that others were more en-
titled to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
,pipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house
hold manufactures, the products Of the dairy ana %
the poultry gard, preserves, domestic clnes, eo'yec-
tons, and above all things, to come themselves, as
qc,tho oon,a, and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
taste AMI genius, no display can De pe9eel.
and Tools, we would say, that interest ana patrl-
otsm both combine to enjoin, upon you the pro-
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present advlces'
we are led to believe that the assemblage OF farm
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
implement makers and Mechanics Of the United States,
make it a matter of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
Ground. Such ambition is laudabe-is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer a favor by copying this notice.

FOR CALIFORNIA. ata
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
CoMPANY-THROUG PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA ..- ,..

nTIE public will be gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company areen-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York TO San Francisco and back. q"
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 DESTROYS 10 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 VINO couia
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 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. s E1.12'
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-
Their Pacific Line. from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HuDsoH.
ITHMUS, Capt. HITcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PoRrER, U. 8: N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. S. NJ.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsTEN, U. 3. 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.
