M8ryland State Agricultural SURVEY
A PPEAL TO THE members OF THE MARYLAND
n STATE AGRICULTURAL SocIETy-W desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
oath and 25th days of October, your Society VIII
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city o.
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, TO
bring for exhibition thereat portions OF your stock
the products Of your orchards, and Of your gardens
Dom presume that any animal, or product, you
may own il inferior to others that VIII be mere,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as II 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 nave
is as good, if not better than that of others, and
that it behooves you to calamity enter the list or
competition if defeated honorably, and the hiSh
character of the Judges is a guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you VIII ENJOY
the luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
tiled to success than yourself
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, TO induce your
,oipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mouse
hold manufactures, the prodtcs Of me aduy ana "
the poultry yard preserves, domestic wines, eoyec-
tions and above all things, to come themselves, as
,r,ihoa ,oona,, and the beautiful Celebrations o. her
asie and genius, no display can De perfect.
To the Manufacf,irers of agricultural Implements
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, from our present advices'
we are led to believe that the assembage OF farm
ers and planters, and of dlstlnguishea strangers
from most Of the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere We therefore say to the .fgr1etiturni
Implement makers and Mechanics Of The United States,
make il 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
orornd such ambition is laudable-is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

err favor by copying this notice.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

TNHE public will be gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are no
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 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 preva-
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 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. HuDsos.
ITHMUS, Capt HlrcHoocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
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 5. NJ.
FALCON, Cept. HARTsTEN, U. s. N.
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
rapid, and pleasant through passage TO California

MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives. qfthe
limited States in Congress assembled The memo.
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they 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 they do not expect or desre to reside on tho
land thus granted; that # patented to them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid IL permitted TO sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, not competent to act Tor themselves
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
igsnt and respectable citizens OF the States, they
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be so modified as to make the warrants tor
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
