MEMORIAL.

To N, Ssnot. and House Of Representatives Qfths
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th OF September 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that thew do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; TINT If patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an ANNUAL
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
thew could avoid If permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assume
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act Tor tnemseives'
wherea. many of them are among the most intel
Iieen, and respectable citizens Of the States they
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants Tor
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

UNITED STATES MAIL STE M SH Up
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

CALIFORNIA.
VNTIE public will be gratifed TO learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company cen
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 desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages IN no other quarter ana 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 time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
us anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the lmpauence or
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlIsl day than ne snip
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

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-

The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations of their New DIRK and Chagres

ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.


r EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 81 Gold street
IL .Nsw York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Backwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
" FARMERS GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrIcAL
AGRICULTURE"
by HENRY STEPHENS, f. r. S., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm &C., &C. assisted
ny JOHN I. NORTON, M "A, New Haven, Professor
Of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c. 60
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with 10 or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughing, planting,
haying, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
TIC animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it of incalculabe value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in sem-monthly
numbers of "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravlDgs, and is sold 25 cents each, or IS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be

Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political SUBJ
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value and in that they stand con
fessedy far above all other journals ofther class
Black,oood, still under the mastery guidance OF
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity
and is, at this time, unusuay attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables
written for that magazine, and first appearing ii

States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel; doth by Bulwer,) "My Peninsula
Medal, 1.-the Green Hand" and other serials
of which numerous rival editions issued by tn
leading publishers in this country, have to be re
printed by those publishers from the pages o

were attempting rouse their mother from
what the thought was only a deep slumber.
From the statements of the children. their
mother had been in that condition sincc the
previous evening, and hence it is supposed
that the deed was committed ut that time.
and that these children were thus left alone.
with the corpse of the woman, through the
night.
Suspicion rested upon one Phineas John
son, as the perpetrator of the deed, and suf.
fcicnt evidence being aGduced before the
coronrrs jury, the Coroner immediately is
sued his warrant for his apprehension. and
he is now in jail awaiting his trial.
The circumstances connected with this
horrible deed. render it one of the most ap-
paling acts of crime, that has ever been per.
petrated in civilized community. To take
the life of a human being is, under MI cir:
cumstances, a fearful thing; and the humani-
ty of the law makes many allowances for the
criminal, where the homicide is committed
in self-dcfence, or under the influence of
uncomfortable passion; hut that poor de-
fencelcss woman, should be deliberate shot
down. in cold blood, is a crime which shocks
every feeling of humanity, and renders the
murderer worthy of the heaviest penalty of
the law.-Unionville Journal, Goth ult.s

Atrocious Murder,

On Saturday evening last, n most brutal
and atrocious murder was committed in this
district, upon the person of young woman
Mary ann Hyatt, attended by circumstances
which render it one Of tile most appalling
deeds of violence in the annals of crime.
The young woman was seated in her house,
engaged in the pcrformacc of some domestic
duty, and surrounded by her children, when
she was shot through the head with rifle
ball and instantly killed. The next morn
ing some of the neighbors passing the house,
were alarmed by the cries of the children,
and, on entering, found the body still seated
in the chair, surrounded by the children, who

22nd OF August last, Mr.. LEWIS COLLINS ;Dir.
COLLINS was born in l195. lie united himself
to the Baptist Church, at Red Hill, in lS42.
He was ordained Deacon shortly afterwards and
filled that Office until his death.
Ills disease was Typhoid Fever, which lasted
for twenty-ohc days. His mind was deranged
at times, owing to the nature of the disease, but
at others it was clear and tranquil few days
before his dissolution he was tisitcd blythe pastor
OF bis Church. He desired prayer, after which
he appeared entirely willing 10 yield to his mas
ter's will, stated that he was prepared to die and
saw his way clearly; and that he would soon be
in the enjoyment of eternal felicity.
The deceased was an cs,imabe neighbor, an
indugcnt master, a kind husband, tender and
an aticctionatc father. and an exemplary chris
tian. The Red Hill Church has been bereft Of
one Of her brightest ornaments He left wife
and five small children, an uged mother and
numerous relatives to mourn his loss.
DIED, at her residence, in this District, on the
10Th ul,., in her 75d year, Mrs. SARAH MILES.
This venerable lady was born 9Th July, I779, in
the State of Virginia. Her father, VIM. Blake
~, emigratea to South Carolina when she was
10 years old, and settled on the Congaree River.
Two years afterwards he removed to Turkey
Greek. in this District. The subject OF this no.
iice was there married to Lewis Miles, whom
she survived % years. She joined the Baptist
Church ut Bethany, Abbcrille District, upwards
oi forty years ago. She was worthy member
Of the Mount Tabor Church, in this District, at
the time Of her death. After long illness Of
four or five months, during which she c1pc-
rienccd great bodily suffering she gave herself
up with pious resignation to the heavenly Author
of her being. She has left behind her numc-
rous friends and relatives, who duly appreciated
her matronly worth while living, and who deeply
mourn over the loss they have sustained in her
Heath.
