Msryland State Agricultural Society.
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 will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city Of
Baltimore: and we appeal to you, one and ALL to
bring for exhibition therea portions of your stock
the products of your orchards, and Of your gardens
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior TO others that Will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1T IS
only by comparison that the relative merits ofany
thing can be determined The safer presumption
for YOU to arrive at, will be that what you have
is as good, If not better than that of others, and
that it behooves you to CALAMITY enter the list OF
competition: 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.
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, house
hold manufactures, the products Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves, domestic mincs covec-
tons and above all things, to come themselves, as
,oitsou wo,an, and the beautiful celebrations Of her
taste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjon 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 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 here or
elsewhere We therefore say to the agricultural
implement makers md Mechanics Of the United States
make ii 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
ground. Such ambition is laudabls-Is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

UNITED STATES MAIL MSHIP
4 COMPANY-THROUG PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA


THE 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 desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
-Vould reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
ente Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama ~ soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 1sth-
mus, which was increased by the imputience or
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama. a8
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 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
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. HIrcHcocK.
| COLUMBUS, Capt. PEcx
| 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. HARrsTErN, U. 5. 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.
Thelarg 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
