T,HE public win be gratifed to learn that the
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back. f~Sa H@
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, i'm connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then DESTROYS 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 preya-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janero 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
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-

The reader will find in our columns this
morning, a very interesting letter from Gen.
Huston, Of Natchez to one Of the editors of
this paper This letter breathes the true South
ern spirit, and will meet with responsive echo
in the heart of every true man. 1t comes from
a man of undoubted integrity,--a man well
known to the people of the South and South
west, as true and tried patriot, and who is ac-
tuated alone by patriotic motives. His exposi-
ton of the doctrine of non-intervention as en-
pounded by Clay, Cass, and the compromisers
generally, is unanswerable. What more effect
ual weapons to assail the South, can the Free
sellers ask than non-intervcntiol such as that
embodied in the bills which have recently pass
ed Congress? By it slavery is forever exclu-
ded from all the territory acquired from Mexico
and Congress buys from slave State territory
twice as large as Georgia, to be converted into
free-soil territory, and this is "non-ntervention
The same mighty authority abolishes the slave
its abolition between the States; and this too is
"non-intervention" The author. Of Hudibras,
who understood human nature very thoroughly
remarks in his peculiar way,
"Surely the pleasure is as great,
OF being cheated--as to cheat
These lines furnish an apt commentary on
the conduct of those Southern mcn who are en-
deavorng to persuade the people, that the series Of
bills lately passed by Congress are an embodi-
ment of all that is equitable and just, in the doc
trne Of non-intervention as expouuded by Mr..
Calhoun Those who have any delight in wit
Messing manifestations of superior talent for
demagogsm, under unfavorabfe circumstances,
will, we feel certain, be gratifed, by examining
the expositions of these new converts to the
doctrine of "non-interyention.'

The ELECTIONS. citizens Of Washington
are to-day called upon 10 select Mayor, Alder
men, Councilmep, and Assessors. This is a duty
Of responsibility and calls for the exercise of sound
judgment, tolerant feelings, and cool discretion
We have seen the indications of ardent impulses
such as manifest laudable concern for the well
fare of the city, and yet such may result in other
than good effects, unless well guarded. Let all be
conducted with fairness and determination TO
curb every excess; and let every one be prepared
to enjoy triumph in becoming manner, and
without giving offence 10 his opponents, and to
bear a defeat without chagrin modification.
Men who permit momentary excitements to
TRANCE them from each other always regret il in
after times; and, interested feelings often cloud
the judgment and the conscience, it is well in such
times to avoid the expression of hastily formed
opinions and the exhibition of resentments
Though the conflict of varied interests forbid the
hope OF perfect amity, performed resolution Of
self control will do much toward preventing mis-
chievous tendencies.

A SINGULAR CIRcUMsTANcE-THE AFFECTION OF
ANIMALS TOWARD EACH oTHER.-Going to Albany
on Wednesday afternoon, witnessed circum-
stance showing the fact that animals have a strong
sympathy with other animals in distress. On the
right hand side OF the road sluice- way had been
provided for the water from the adjoining fields,
and on the banks by the fence the grass was grow
ing finely. This, it seems, had tempted horse, a
noble animal, TO venture alongside, but by some
mis- step he lost his foothod and precipitated
into the ditch below the water nearly covering his
body, and his head lying little one side. At the
time the animal in this condition, COW
alongside of him, striving her best TO ex-
tricate him from his unfortunate plight She had
got his neck between her horns, and was making
powerful effort TO raise him; and trial failed
she redoubled her exertions for another-the horse
at the same time struggling his best. The bcasty
affection, so to speak, which exhibited by the
COW towards the horse, will by many be regarded
fabulous; and confess we should think 30 our
selves had we not witnessed Troy Whfg.
