FOR CALIFORNIA.
MAIL STEAM SHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

rT'HE public will be gratifed to learn that the
i 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, 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 Janero 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 aud 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.
TTHMUS, Capt. HIrcHcocK
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, OF the
GEORGIA, Capt PoRrEs, u. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHEHoK, u. S. N.
FALCON, C9pt. 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, land the speed and accommodations Of the
ships Of their Pacific Line offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.

Europe and America TO lay the foundation of a
direct foreign trade at the South, and to introduce
our coarse manufactures into the continental Eu-
ropean market. One object of the "CorroN

stimulate the South 10 carry out this important
measure.
We call upon the Southern merchants generally
to send US their business cards, that we may lay
them before the country, to enable the friends Of
Southern commerce, manufactures, &C., 10 dis
criminate properly in their desireto promote South
ern enterprise.
The importance Of Washington city, as a point
of location for such Journal especially in regard
to opening foreign correspondence and promoting
our foreign relations, is apparent. The opportu-
nifty Of seeing here, also, members of Congress
from every district Of the country, present
means Of general cooperation not to be found else
where.
To the cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco planters,
we look confidently forsupport; and to the friends
Of "direct trade" throughout the South we say,
show your faith by your works.

the farmers stock raisers and merchants in Texas,
to attend the Agricultural Fair which is to be held
at Corpus Christi on the LIST of May. The
fair being the first Of the kind in that part of the
country, will present many unique and highly
interesting features, gathering, as it will, at one
locality so many of the characteristics of civilized,
semi-civilized, and savage life. The American
farmer, the merchant, the mechanic will be there,
with his cattle and goods and implements ; the
Mexican with his half wild and picturesque amuse-
ments and occupations; the sturdy frontIersman
and ranger and the cunning, bold Indian of the
far prairies. The sing Iar and original character
istcs of Texas and Mexico will be more COM
pletely exhibited than they have ever been before
Besides the great quantity of amusement which
this fair will undoubtedly afford, the emisrant to
Texas will have an opportunity Of purchasing at
very low rates some Of the finest land in the world
for farming and stock-raising purposes.-Th
