COMPANY-THROU PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
THE public will be grati6ed 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
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desirous to go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire 10 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 mt Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detention ut the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the lmpatlence 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
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDsoN.
TTHMUS, Capt. HIrCHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.

OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. S. N.
| 81 FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEIN, u >. 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

The Plymouth pilot. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1851-1852, 1851-12-17

For the last four days, we have had
weather that makes things crack. The
highest range Of the thermometer has
been ten degrees below zero, and the
the lowest eighteen degrees below zero,
with strong wind, and the air hazy with
frost, and drifting snow. God help the
people and brutes that have not an abun-
dance Of shelter and good subsistence in
such weather. We may look out for q
hard winter, but if it is asscold.as now
for much length Of time. we shall have to
move the town to Cuba, in order to thaw
it out; for we fear one summer here will

he speaks SO csldly OF the bloody Cuban
massacre. We don't think SO. Our
treaty siipuations bind US TO prohibit
armed expeditions in suck eases. and he
had so proclaimed il officially. But they
rushed on to bloody death, and viewing
the law as he did, we cannot see how he
could have spoken differently. He ex-
presses strong pity. and sympathy. yet
holds to our obligations. How could he
hold to those obligations. and condemn
Spain uacondltionally? Spains whole
existence has been despo,sm and blood

fdl course of Spain, but he has no right
officially. to condemn her uncondition-
ally; and if we will lay Our sympa thes
aside, and take cool legal view of the
matter, we must view it as Mr.. Fillmore
did.
