The splendid feet of steamers in the Pacific is
soon to have numerous accessions to its number.
The Pacific was launched at New York on Tues
day, and will be fitted out and dispatched as soon
practicable Several other steamers intended for
the same service are getting ready for sea at that
port. At Philadelphia the steamers Union and
Commodore Stockton have been completed, and
will sail in few days-both are represented as
fine vessels, capable of accommodating two hundred
passengers each. The steamer Pampero, recently
launched at Baltimore, is now receiving her mach-
merry at Philadelphia, and when completed will be
dispatched to the Pacific, under command of Capt.
HUNTER, of the United States Navy. The fine
steamer Monumental City, launched few weeks
since in this city, is now receiving her machinery at
the iron works Of Messrs. Murray 81 Hazlehurst,
and will depart from Baltimore direct for the Pacific
as soon as finished, which, it is thought will be
in about two months. When all the steamers now
on their way 10 the Pacific and those fitting out for
those distant waters reach their destination, there
will be on the waves of that ocean, sailing under
the stars and stripes of the United States, one OF
the finest steam navies in the world. Who would
now pretend to predict how long it will be before
some of them will be running as regular packets
between our possessions on the Pacific and those

Georgia, over thousand words, was received at
the Office of the Washington and New Orleans
Telegraph in this city, on Monday, direct from
Macon, distance of eleven hundred miles. This
has been accomplished by the valuable improve
ment recently patented by Charles s. Buckley,
Esq, the inspector of this line and it is confident
ly believed that so soon as Bukey's connectors,"
they are called, shall be applied to the stations
between Macon and New Orleans, there will be
the same facility and certainty in communicating
directly to and from that city, or any Of the inter-
mediate stations. Arrangements are in progress to
establish similar connexion with the Washington

Telegraph Company, to work the whole as one

from the Hon. GARNETT ANDREWS, late Judge of
the Northern Circuit in this State, on the California
question, which is one of the ablest we have ever
read on that or any other subject He does not
believe the admission of California is sufficient
cause for resistance Of any to the Federal Gov

ercise in their attempt to force upon her constu-
