MEMORIAL.

To he Senate and House Of Representatives. ofils
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 28h Of September, 1880, 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 desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an annuaI
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun H
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them among the most intel
Iigent and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully nsk that the act aforesaid
may be so noJI.isd as TO make the warrants for
bonny lands ass'gnable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

THE public will be gratifed to learn that the
l United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
ubled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York 70 San Francisco and back
In the 6rst attempts Of this Company 70 meet
the wants Of trnveI 70 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 desirous 20 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 prevu-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janero al the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
a. anticipated, and caused detention at the lsth-
mus. which was increased by the impatlence 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 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
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 thu
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California

WONDER OF WONDERS!
PETROLEUM, OR ROCK OIL.

"There are more things in hearen and earth,
Than are drea1nt Of in philosophy"
The virtues of this remarkable remedy, and
the constant application for it, to the proprietor
has induced him to have it put up IN bottles
with labels and directions, for the benefit Of the
public.
The Petroleum or Rock oil is procured from a
well in Allegheny county, at depth of four
hundred feet, is n pure unadulterated article,
without any chemical change, butjust as 1t flows
from Natures Great Laboratory! That 1t con-
tains properties capable of reaching a number
of diseases, is no longer matter of uncertainty
There are many things in the arena of nature,
which, if known, might be of vast usefulness in
alleviating suffering and restoring the bloom OF
health and vigor to many sufferer Long be-
fore the proprietor thought Of putting II up In
bottles, it had reputation for the cure of dis
case. The constantly and daily increasing calls
for it, and several remarkable cures it has per-
formed, is a sure indication of its future popu-
larity and wide spread application in the cure
of disease
We do not wish to make long parade of GER
tifcates, as are conscious that the medicine
can soon work its way into the favor of those
who suffer and wish to be healed Whilst We do
not claim for it a universal application in every
disease, we unhesitatngly say, that in a number
Iof Chronic Diseases it is unrivalled- Among
these may be enumerated-aH diseases of the
mucous tissues, such as Chronic Bronchitis Con-
eSunlptaon IN Its early stage, Asthma, and all
diseases of the air passages, LiUe Conaplaint
Dyspepsia, Diarrhea, Diseases of the Bladder
and Kidneys, Pains in the Back or Side, Ner-
vous Diseases, Neuralgia, Palsy, Rheumatic
Pains, GOut, Erysipelas, letter, Ringworms,
Burns, Scalds, Bruises, Old Sores, &C., &c. In
cases Of debility resulting from exposure, or
long and protracted cases of disease, this medi-
cine will bring relief. 1t will act as a general
Tonic and AAeratiOe in such cases, imparting
tone and energy to the whole frame removing
distractions, opening the sluggish functions,
which cause disease and a broken constitution
and giving increased and renewed energy to all
the organs of Life The proprietor knows of
several cures Of Piles that resisted every other
