SLAVERY vs.. FREEDoM--On the first day of
the August term Of the county court OF Fau-
quicr, Peter Benson, u man of color, was ut his
own instance sold in perpetual servitude. 1t
appears that at the death Of his mistress, some
years since, Peter was emancipated, IN accord
anee with her last will and testament. The
laws of the State forbade his remaining within
its limits more than twelve months from the
date of his manumission; but all the ties which
rendered existence desirable, were intimately
connected with the place of his blrth--alL the
associations of his youth were indissolubly CON
nected with that spot so, after making fair
experiment Of all the blessings attendant upon
freedom, he fiually determined upon the course
he would pursue He voluntarily appeared on
the fro day Of the court, and cntreated that he
should be publicly sold TO the highest bidder
His request was complied with.--Richnond

n CALIFORNIA;.
TIME public will be gratifed TO learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company ARE en-
ahled 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 then
ships from New York TO Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then DESTROYS TO 70 out TO sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round. This was dome
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-
ence OF fever at Rio de Janeiro at the lime, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the lnnpatience OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama. e
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.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the w M
REPUBLIC, Capt. Henson.
ITHMUS, Capt. HErcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PICK.
i ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the m
GEORGIA, Capt PoRrEa, u. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, u. s. N.
4 FALCON, Capt HARrsrEIs, 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 10 California.
