bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock,
the products of your orchards and Of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or prodIct, you
may 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 have
is as good, il not better than that OF others, and
that it behoOves you galantly enter the list OF
composition if defeated honorably, and the high
character Of the Judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will ENJOY
the luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
tied to success than yourself.

mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
,ripes and Daughters to- bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments as embroidery, house

the poultry yard preserves domestic otnes, co'Jee-
iions and, above all things TO come themscires a.

taste and genius, no display ca" Dc perfect. s
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implement,
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro-
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advices,
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 on here or
elsewhere We therefore say to the agricultural
Inplee,f 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

THE public will be grati6ed to learn that the
il United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled 10 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 thea desirous 10 20 out, 70 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 preva-
lencc Of fever At Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama ia soon
al anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, ut 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 Pacifc service have arrived al Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco aud back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
