FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL. STEAM SHIP
CoMPANY-TH THROUGH PASSAGE TO
: CALIFORNIA. M

rI,HE public will be gratfed TO Earn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abed 10 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
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 Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as ANTICIPATED, and caused detention al the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impatience 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, lnteneed
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 thai 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. HIrcHcock.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PEcH.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcxLEr.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
TO Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PoarER, ". S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHEHex, u. s. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsrEH, U. S. ".
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
accommodation q their New York and Chsgres
Line, and the speed and accommodations OF the
,hips OF their Pacific Line, offer the most certain
rapid, and pleasant through passage % T. ne

MISSISSIPPI ELECTION.

The Teegraphic dispatches from Mississippi are so rapidly
whitiirg down that tremendous msoriy for FoorE al
first announced that await the authentic accounts with
hope of better issue than had venured to hope
Deseved great is the personal popularity OF JEFFERSON
DAVIS that alone will not suffice to account for the
prodgous revusion public sentiment which these returns
indicate The last dispatches gave FoorE majority Of one
thousand only, and four counties still TO be heard FROM
Southern Press.
II is true that the popularity Of Col. DAVIS in his
State, immense as it is, viii not wholly account
for the smallness of Gen. FooTE's majority. But
there is another reason for it which can give but
little consolation to the Secessioniss. That reason
is, that after Gen. QUrTMAN retired from the hope
less contest for Governor on the secession issue,
and Col. DAVIS was substituted in his place, the
issue was changed. Col. DAVIS, and all the other
!" Southern Rights candidates, professed 10 regard
the election for members of the State Convention,
which took place in September, as having settled
the secession controversy, and simply presented
themselves as the candidates of the Democratic
party, proclaiming their acquiescense in the Com
promise measures, and dsclaiming the pendency
of any question affecting the stability of the Union.
1t was this plea of the former Southern Rights"
candidates, and the drawing of old party lines, that
had an influence in gaining for COL DAVIS the
votes Of many Union Democrats, who otherwise
would have supported his opponent. It is not
surprising, therefore, that Gen. FooTE's majority
should be comparatively small, when it is remem-
bered that the Democratic majority obtained by
Gen. QUITMAN two years ago, for the Office of
Governor. was very near ten thousand votes. We

as complete. All his colleagues in the late Con-
gress had to back out from the main issue which
they thought proper to carry before the people Of
Mississippi, and yet, with probably single ex-
ception, they have all been defeated.
