COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA. n A af
THE public viii be gratifsd 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. sN
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
ship~ from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then desrous 10 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 Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panana as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impanence Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, ut an earlier day than tho 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 assurances that the
voyage through from New York 70 San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch. nQf gHttfuas az e

The ResuIt i'm the State.

The returns of the election in this State on
the 18th inst, indicate the success of Bigler
over Gov Johnston, for Governor, by major
ity of from to 5000. The Locofoco can
didate for Canal Commissioner is also sue
cessful by about the same majority.
James Campbell, one of the Locofoco NOM
inees for Justice of the Supreme Court, is de-
feated, and Richard Coulter (Whig) chosen
in his stead.
The democrats will have majority OF a
bout ten in the House, and the Wings ma
iority of one in the Senate.
We confess we are disappointed by the
character of the returns for Governor We
expected much closer contest, and thought
that Gov. Johnston would triumph. For the
able manner in which he has upheld the
Wing cause and contended Cor its well known
principles, he deserves the gratitude of all
who prefer honesty TO trickery, and States
manslip to Demagogism.

Hover's Writing Ink.

I'VE are opposed TO all kinds Of Putting
in The figuraiive sense OF the term. Whether
in the notice of book, or anything else, we
have repugnance to give 1t fulsome adu-
lation, or to recommend it in any way at all,
unless we honestly believe it worthy of favor.
I'VE have again furnished ourselves with
a keg OF HOuer's Black Writing Ink, and when
we say that this is not the first or the second
keg that has been procured from MIR. Hover,
the article may be considered endorsed good
by MS, otherwise we should not have contin-
ued its use for these six or seven wears past.
Others may have their preferences in favor
of different manufactures, and we are quite
willing that they enjoy those preferences
(saye and except those of our correspondents
who sometimes impose that loathsome Blue
stuff upon US, which is not fit to be used);
for our own part, we continue the manufac-
ture Of Mr.. Hover, whose ink is not only
clear and black, but does not clog and con-
qlomerate our pen, as some otherwise good
inks do" Reformed Messenger,

more than overhalanced by detection in the
Wing ranks; that this detection was owing
to the ntrigues of certain members of the
Cabinet and their assistants in this State !;
that Gov Johnston, if the entire Wing party
had been true, would have been elected by
an overwhelming majority; and that Gov.
Johnston was defeated by the most shameless
and infamous treachery.
We make these remarks because the occa-
sion demands they should be made. While
every friend of the State Administration will
cherish in his heart of hearts those trusty and
honest Wings who were true as steel to their
standard-bearer, every honest man will as
heartily detest the ignoble and dastardy trail
tors who were afraid of an open field and a
fair fight, and who proved their courage by
stabbing in the dark. Allhonor to Gov. John
ston He stands before the people, an honest
man stricken down by men who owe their
positions to his labors-Daily American.

Facts for the CUrions.--FemaIC
Beauty.

The ladies of Arabia stain their fingers
and toes red, their eyebrows black, and
their lips blue. In Persia, they paint
black streak around their eyes, and orns-
ment their faces with various figures
The japanese women gid their teeth, and
those of the Indies paint them red. The
row of teeth must be dyed black to be
beautiful in Guzurat. The Hottentot wo-
men paint the entire body in compart-
ments of red and black. In Greenland
the women color their faces with b ue and
yellow, and they frequently tattoo their
bodies by saturating threads in SCOT, in
serting them beneath the skin, and then
drawing them through. Hindoo females
when they wish to appear particularly
lovely, smear themselves with mixture
of saffron, turmeric and grease. In near
ly all the islands of the Pacific and Indian
oceans, the women as well as the men.
tattoo great variety of figures on the
face, the lips, the tongue, and the whole
body. InNew Holland they cut themselves
with shells, and by keeping open the
wounds long time, form deep scars in
the flesh, which they deem highly orra-
mental. And another singular addition
is made to their beauty by taking off, in
infancy, the little fngre of the left hand,
at the second joint. In ancient Persia,
an aquiline nose was often thought worthy
of the crown: but the Sumatran mother
carefully fattened the nose of her daugh-
ter. Among some of the savage tribes
of Oregon, and also In Suma and ARA
can, continued pressure is applied to the
skull in order to fatten it, and thus give
it new beauty.
The modren Persians have a strong
aversion to red hair; The Turks on tho
contrary, are warm admirers of it. In
China, small round eyes are liked: and
the girls are cont nually plucking their
eyebrows that they may be thin aud long.
But the great beauty of Chinese lady
is in her feet, which, in childhood, are so
compressed by bandages as efeetually to
prevent any further increase in size. The
four smaller toes are turned underthe foot
to the sole of which they fmly adhere
and the poor girl not only endures much
pain, but becomes cripple for life. An
other mark of beauty consists in finger
nails so long that castings of bamboo are
necessary to preserve them from injury.
An African beauty must have small eyes.
thick lips, large fat nose, and skin
beautifully black. In New Guinea, the
nose is perforated, and large piece Of
wood or bone inserted. On the north
west coast of America, an incision more
than two inches in length is made in the
lower lip, and then filled with a wooden
plug. In Guiana, the lips are pierced
with thorns, the heads being inside the
mouth and the point resting on the chin.
The Tunisian woman, of moderate pre-
tension to beauty, needs a slave under
each arm to support her when she walks
and perfect belle carries flesh enoughto to
load down a camel

A Mountain fn Motion.

We find In our German papers, says the n.
Y. Tribune, an account of singular catras-
trophe, which we translate. Above the Dis
trict of Magyarokarek, in the southwestern
portion of Pennsylvania, there are two noun
tains, Venyikes and Gelesztas. The District
lies on slope of the two mo nountains which are
from 800 to 1000 feet high, opposite kettle
shaped hollow. On the 18th of August, the
Gelesztas began to move, and forced the Ven
yikes, which is about four miles from Mag
yarokarek, so near to that District that it is
now scarcely twenty PAGES distant, and threat
ems to destroy the whole village.
The motion of the mountain continued
from midnight on the 18th to noon on the 10Th
August, and during this time it occasoned
great damage through space of about one
third of mile in length and nearly quar-
ter of mile in breadth. The field beneath
and around the mountain, which in this place
were covered with harvest of uncommon
beauty, were preciptated into the depths, and
instead of them huge rocks now rise against
the sky. No one would know the place.
No one knows where was his own field-tbe
two parts of ploughed field, which were
torn asunder, are often found at the distance
of two miles from each other, with bottem-
less abyss between them. The population of
the place, numbering about $50 souls, are en-
camped with their little property on noun
tain lying within the District, and expect the
next calamity in state of great depression.
Beneath the torn-up mountain, and even on
the very spot, water CUISINES up on every side,
and the ground in the vicinity is so cracked
that no living creature can apapproach it.

A Melancholy Sight.

DIR. Reid, a traveller through the high
land of Peru, is said to have found lately,
in the desert of Alacame, the dried re-
mains of an assemblage of human beings,
five or six hundred in number-men, wo-
men and children, seated in selnicircle
as when alive, staring into the burning
waste before them; they had not been
buried; life had not departed before they
thus sat around, but hope was gone;-
the Spanish invader was at hand, and no
escape being left, they had come hither
to die. They still sat immovable IN that
dreary desert; dried like mummies by the
effect of the hot air, they still kept their
position, sitting up as in council, while
over that areopagus silence broods ever
lastingly.

The Revolution in Mexico.

The New Orleans Delta, a paper which
processes to have been for long time well
informed as to the designs of the leaders of
the insurfection in the Northern States of
Mexico, says that the object ofthe movement
is to annex that part Of Mexico to the United
States. The Delta declares that this enter
prise shall have the warm support of that pa
per, as means of enlarging the Southern or
slave-holding portion of the Union. 1t also
declares that this feeling is general in the
South, and that the intelligence of the sue
cess of the insurgents, will excite profound
interest in the South, where the necessity
of counteracting the ambitious designs of the
Northern portion Of this Confeteracy, by the
acquisition of new territory, friendly to, and
identical with, the South, has been felt as the
only security against the final destruction and
overthrow of our institutions"
The Delta few days ago announced the
formation in New Orleans of :" Lone Star
Club and published an extract from its con-
SIiluiIoiI, euoNiIlS lidL It's oDJCCt was W Ca
tend the area of freedom" by revolutionizing
and annexing the territories of contiguous ma
tions 1t advises the formation of similar
clubs throughout the Union. We have no
doubt the advice viii be generally followed,
especially in the South.
We have here the germs of another move
ment, similar to that which commenced in the
annexation of Texas and ended in the passage
of the Fugitive Slave Law. After all the ef-
forts made by Northern statesmen to concil-
late the South and pacfy the country, we are
to launch again into another series of extra
ordinary military measures for the acquisition
of South Western territory. And this not
only without any provocation on the part of
the North, but at time when the North has
made and is making great concessions to pre-
serve the peace of the Union by gratifying
the South.

A Likely Dog.

The Al6any Knickcr5ocEer gives an ac-
count of wonderful dog belonging to one
of its carriers. The carrier falling sick,
sent out boy to deliver the papers, who,
being unacquainted with the round, was
followed by the dog, who stopped at the
door of every subscriber and wagged his
tail, never missing one in list of six hun
dred. At the door of all subscribers who
had not paid for their paper for a
length of time, the dog was heard to
howl!

Mean Men.

Among the many kinds it takes to make
world, we regret that there is so large share
Of meaness. Though some are mean, there
are some meaner; and doubtless there must
be meanest of all. We would mention a.
mong the first class the man who was so stin-
gy, that when he wrote to Prest. jackson for
the pardon of his son in order to save ink, he
would not dot his is, or cross his is, and
wrote the direction in this manner, Cur jksn.
But we should call that man meaner, who
hired his boy to go to bed without any SUPPER
for cent, and when he got to sleep, went
and stole it from him. But the meanest of all
must be the class represented by Dow, Jr.,
who says, "some men are so small that they
would chase mosquito through FIVE mile
swamp, for their suet; and were it possible
would snatch the golden stars from the firm
ament, and sell them for copper, the moon for
old brass, and rather than pay sixpence at the
gate of heaven, would go at night and pick
the lock with ten-penny NALL

A Giant,

The Ohio State Journal gives an ac-
count of a huge specimen of humanity, a
giant, which it AYERS is giant, and one
of the greatest living curiosities extant.
He stands about eight feet high, weighing
four hundred pounds, with good proper
tions, and yet he is beardless boy, and
is still growing. He is sight worth see
ing, as it is only once in an age that
such person is permitted to grow
