| FOR CALIFORNIA
! UNITED STATES MAIL STEAL SHIP
COMPANY-TIROUG PASSAGE TO

COMPAN Y-IHROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
NNHE 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 go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, Tor
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-
ence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as 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 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. HITcHcocK.
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. ScHENCK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Cspt. HARTsTEN, 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

Scott at Mippepa.-The battle at
Chippewa Was fought on the 5th of
July, 1918" Scott, with 1900 Amer
leans, met on an open plain, and rout-
ed with the bayonct 210o Of the vete-
ran troops of England-the very flow
er of the army. AS the two armies
approached to close quarters, Gen.
Scott called aloud to McNeaPs battal-
ion-"The enemy say we are good at
long shot, but cannot stand the cold
iron ! call upon the eleventh in
stantly TO give the lie to that slander
Charge !! !" They did charge. Before
Gen. Brown could come up with the
rear division of the American army,
Scott had already won the day, and
was in not pursuit OF the flying enemy.
The British had been beaten with their
own boasted weapon-the bayonet.-
The valor and skill of the Boy Gen
cral, of tho twenty eighth had VAN
quished all the boosted powers OF her
world-rcnowned veterans
" Gen. Brown, in his official report
of this battle, says: "Brigadier Gen

manifest no outward sign of respect for
the Christian Sabbath, to put stumb-
ling block in the way Of those of their
follow citizens who may conscientiously
entertain different views?
There are but few among US, doubts
less who 'disbelieve in The ordinances
and commands of the Supreme Being,
or in the institution Of the Christian
Sabbath, or day Of rest-and SO believ-
ing, we affectionately ask, why neglect
the observance of this most reasonable
command-the enjoyment of this most
refreshing and re-invisorating institu-
ton?
A large portion of our resident citi-
zens, and large portion of those who
are engaged in the mines feel strong
desire to correct this growing evil, by
returning to the good old ways of our
earlier days and maturer years, to q
more rational observance Of the Sabbath,
in abstaining from labor and business on
that day. We hope and believe that
we but echo the views of nine-tenths Of
those whom we address, when we say
the time has come for efecting reform.
The well-being of society demands it.
Tho settling in our midst of families,
the rearing and education of the youth
among us in the ways of virtue and wis
dom, ihperiously demand that every
man who is capable of placing q right
value on the privileges he enjoys be-
meath the charter of his liberty-our
free constitution-should lend his eff
cient aid in the attainment of the OBJ
ject we seek.
Fellow citizens, will you second our
efforts? or will you still longer lend
your countenanco to the continuance of
this heathenish practice against which
we protest! Business men, miners
traders, will you continue custom
which drives out from your bosoms the
dearest and sweetest recollections of
home!
What is our plea for this scnseless
scramble for heapins up riches, in the
which we disregard and set at nought
the wisdom of all nations, and the en-
tire age of Christianity! 1t is, we con-
csive, simply that we may the sooner
go home You need not that we should
reiterate the truism, that "he who
maketh haste to increase his store, often
stumbleth." Let US then, fellow citizens,
make a beginning in arrest of proceed
'inss SO derogatory to us as Americans,
as Christians, as fathers, husbands, bro
thers. >'
We address you plainly, for we are
plaih men, and we desire to be distinct
ily understood. You know, as we'll as
OURSELVES, that we arc actuatcd by no
anworthy motives. Willyou then mock
at our efforts, and treat with Indifference
our affectionate requests We call for
no pccuniary sacrifice, we propose no
partizan or scctarian organization in ac-
complishing this good work Of reform.
But we do ask in all Garnestness, that
