FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY-THROU PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

Cs1IlfOA.NL1.
T,EE 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 60 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 Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which 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, 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 HupsoN.
ITEMUS, Capt. HircHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcxLEY.
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. HARrsrEN, 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

GEN. sCoTT's POPULARITY.

Il would be well--and certainly modest
for those who so pertly talk of the unpopular
ity OF Gen. Scotland so arrogantly assert
that he is not, never was, or ever can be q
popular candidate for the Prcsidency---to re-
member that other able and distinguished men
have, and do still disagree with them.
As we understand it, Gen. Scott, in tho
Presidential Convention in 1884 convon-
ton composed Of one of the most able bodies
of men ever assembled in the nation--and
Notwithstanding he had written, several let
ters to different members, that he should pre-
fer the nomination of either Clay, or Harri-
son, iC thought more oxpcdiout--he received
on the ballot T'receding the last the entire
vutu of the New York Ne-P-J Jersey Ceaaaa-
tict,t, Vermont and Michigan allegations
This, together with the tact that he is now
tho acknowledged fayorite OF Pennsylvania,
New York, Ohio, and other important States
as candidate for the nomination, is almost
conclusive 10 us, that tho gentleman above
alluded to---HaB be mistaken.--Rutidnd Her
