MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. ofthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th 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 thew 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 aIlnual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law.
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assun q
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

UNITED STATES MAIL EAMSHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
rATIrORAIa

'.lt. C.dLlkOH.NLs1-
THE public will be gratfed to learn that the
/ United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
ablsd to announce that their arrang ements 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 AZ soon
a. anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
* TIE 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 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. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcx, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsTEIN, U. s. 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.

OF this person! She had been under our best phys
clans for some months; her action was cancer on the
right breast and consumption. A blister was wished
TO be raised; one applied to the neck it made no
tried, and with no better success; there suffi-
Gent vitality in the system to raise blister. She was
suffering terrible agony, and she determined, as
her doctors gave her no hopes, to try what BRAN
DRE'THS PILLS would do for her. she took eigh-
teen the hrst day; she continued them in large Doses
and IN two weeks she was much better that she
could walk about. DESTROYS of testing whether blis-
ter could be raised she had one put on her leg design
Ing to draw down the purid humors; the blister raised
nely and one OF her doctors owned that as as
onlshing to him to the blister, as see her
at all, living, and so much recovered. What those
Pills could be made OF, and purge they had DONE
and not kill, but absolutely sustain the vital powers
was more than he could comprehend. Here in New
York, in the centre OF city, the greatest thing has
been done in the way OF absolute life saving unknown
in ancient or modern times, till Brandreths Pills were
known. Two months ago and this person was diving
absolutely dying OF consumption and cancer and
