FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIP
NY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

CALIFORNIA;
V,1E public will be gratifed To learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled 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 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 a 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 at Rio de Janelro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated and caused detention ut 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.
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
REPUBLIC, Capt. HuDsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt. HITcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PICK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENCK, U. s. N.
FALCON, Capt, HARTsTEIN, U. s. ~
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,

ESSAY ON SLAVERY,

We have been favored with the perusal of an Es-
say Slavery, from the pen of able Divine, and
which, if published and circulated, could not fail to
! accomplish good for both master and slave. This
Essay treats, first, of the origin of Slavery; secondly,
of the condition of Slavery; thirdly, of the
of Savery fourthy of the duties of Christian Mas
tors to their servants and under these heads. which
divide the different chapters, the question thorough
y discussed Slavery is traced from the earliest Pc
riod-its condition and nature described, in its
connection both with the Mosaic Gispensaton and
with the Gospel dispensation and numerous author
tiles from the Bible cited, showing its recogni-
ton by the Almighty and the rules and regulations
established by His Word for the government of the
institution In addition this, the duties of" Chris
tian masters " towards their slaves defined, and
suggestions made to masters, which, if adopted,
would be productive of much benefit 10 themselves
as well as to those who under them.
The Essay would make sixty pages in COM
mon octave, and is therefore too long either be pub
shed or condensed in our columns. The above may
be taken imperfect outline of the matter it
braces. We should be glad it in print, and if
sufficient encouragement should be received from the
public to justify its publication without loss to the
author, it will be published over his name.

extraordinary energy and but for his incessant efforts
the Raleigh and Castor Rail Road would have ceas-
ed operations long ago. He has fairly earned the
post Of General Superintendent, yet he is now as
signed subordinate position, and the more honora-
BILE and remuneratve office given TO Vrglnan, dis
tingushed only for the want Of that practical knowl
edge necessary discharge the duties devolving up
on him.
We have already specimen OF the wretched man
agement that may be expected from Mr.. Bird. 1t Is
understood that portion of the iron to relay the
Road will be supplied by the SouthsIde Road, that
Company having more on hand than is required for
immediate use. The fact is, however, that this iron
is of the pattern, and is not to be compared in ex-
cellence with the Il iron. The Southside Company
will sell this inferior iron TO the Raleigh and CASTOR
Company. and supply themselves for very small
additional cost, with good L iron. The Petersburg
road has lately been laid down with the U iron, and
it is found be deficient in strength, crushing under
the weight of heavy engine In this way the State
of North Carolina is 10 be swinded through this
Virginia Superintendent. We understand also that
large number of negro hands to be brought
from Virginia to relay the track. Cannot hands in
sufficient numbers be obtained in North Carolina at
this season of the year!
The first official act of the Directors has been a
blunder The interests of the State and of the Stock
holders have been made totally subservient to those
of Virginia. From such management, anticipate
nothing but series of disasters, until the Raleigh
and CASTOR Rail Road shall again become by-word
among the people. Such the views also, we
learn of portion OF the Stockholders, of whom
ready dispose of their stock at 10 per cent dis
count. A fine prospect truly for the success of the
old Gaston''

WAKE SUPERIOR COURT.

At Wake Superior Court, held here last week,
Henry Bunch was convicted two charges for trad
ing with slaves, and sentenced in each case to
three months Imprisonment and fine of $25-mak-
ing six months Imprisonment and $50, besides costs
This is most righteous sentence. We hope in every
of conviction for trading with slaves, that the
severest penalties of the law may fall upon the guilty
J. F. Brotoer was convicted of keeping disord-
ery house, and was sentenced 10 three months i'm
prisonment; and also of assault upon Mr.. Cor
man., the Editor of the Spirit of the Age, and sent
enced for this to fifteen days Imprisonment. The
Judge afterwards RENTED the three months impris-
| onment to two months and half.
Romulus S. Gaines, convicted of the crime of For
gerry, was sentenced to six months imprisonment,
thirtynine lashes and put him in the pillory Mon
day of next November Court and hold him in custo-
dy until fine and costs paid.
| There several convictions, in addition to the
above, for minor offences. The whole of the week,
with the exception of few hours Saturday devo-

DESERVING THE SINKING SHIP.

The Lyncnburg Republican publishes letter from
Capt. A S. Henry, of that place. renouncing his con-
nexion with the Wing party, and announcing it as
his determination to act henceforward with the Dem
ocratic party. The Captain is of the illusrious
Patrick Henry. He assigns reason for his change
of position the conviction that the Democrats
attached than the Wings to the rights of the South
and Constitutional Union.
The Republican says that Capt Henry is not the
only Wing in Lynchburg who, of late, has had his
faith weakened and destroyed. We know of num-
Der of other gentlemen, who havo heretofore been
shining lights in the church of whiggery, who
now weak in the faith, and only standing upon
the extreme outskirts of that party, almost ready to
drop into the swelling ranks of democracy

.4rrest of a Fugitive SLuue-PieLence of the Mob.
SYRACUSE, New York, Oct. 4. Considerable ex-
element prevailed here this afternoon, growing out
of the arrest of alleged fugitive slave. He was
seized by the mob and made his escape, but was

two companies of military called out, the alarm
