FOR CALIFORNIA.
NnITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIP
COMPANY-THROUG PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA;

NnITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIP
OMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
TINE 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 Chngres, they were pre-
vailed upOn at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS 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 Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impotence 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 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. HrDsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt. H,TcncocK.
COLUMUsiS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt PoRrER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHEScv, u S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsTErN, U. S. N.
| The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, 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

MEssRs. ED1ToRs,--Mr S. E., hard work
ing mechanic, and not considered a very earnest
fee-soiler left this city, with his wife, last July,
for Saratoga Springs, where they remained two
or three months. The health of Mrs. E. being
quite poor, they were strongly advised to go south
to spend the winter. On reaching Alexandria,
Va, he found chance to obtain work, which
would dnable him to support his family, for a
while, at least. The health of his wife being too
poor to allow her to do her own work, couple of
free colored girls wished 10 do it for her, and in
exchange, she should assist them in learning to
read and write. Their means being limited, she
consented, and each fulfilled their part, until it
came to the ears of the STAKEHOLDER, who mmedi-
ately ordered Mr. E. to leave the place. Not sat-
isied with that, they repaired to his carpenters
shop, in which were all his tools, and lumber with
which he was building house, set fire to il and
burned it to the ground, with its contents. They
then threatened to burn the house, in which he
and his invalid wife were living, if he did nor
leave Alexandria within forty EIGHT hours Driven
to the last extremity, the poor man, in the rigors
of our unusually severe winter was obliged to re-
turn north, as best he could.
will make no comments on this infamous
transaction, but would respectfully and canddIy
ask the reader-Where is our Constitutional
Liberty' Yours, truly, M. STowELL.
