FOR CALIFORNIA
UNITED STATES MAIL STE MSHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO

COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
TIME public will be gratifed to learn that the
i United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abed 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 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-
ience 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 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.
TTHMUS, 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. ScHEEcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEiN, 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

A Southern journal, published " eekly, to ad-
vocate direct trade, manufactures, agriculture. end
the development Of Southern resources by C. G.
BAYLOR, Washington, b. c..
The importance of such journal as the above
needs no exposition. The material and substan-
tial interests Of the South have been too long ne
elected The "CorroN PLANT" is established to
promote these interests, keeping entirely aloof
from party or party politics. A complete foreign
and domestic correspondence has been arranged
The best talent of the country will contribute to
our columns, which will present a medium Of
general communication, correspondence, and in
formation for the friends Of the measures we ad-
vocate. The proper steps have been taken in
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
PLANT" will be, as the organ Of direct trade, to
stimulate the South to carry out this important
measure.
We call upon the Southern merchants generally
to send us their business cards, that we may Law
them before the country. to enable the friends Of
Southern commerce, manufactures, &C., to dis
criminate properly in their desire to promote South
ern enterprise.
The Importance Of Wash ington city, as 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 ofgenera cooperation not to be found else
where.
To the cotton, sugar. rice, and tobacco planters
we look confidently for support; and to the friends
of "direct trade" throughout the South we say,
sshow your faith by your works.
The regular issue Of the "CorroN PLANT" will
commence in June next. Advertisements are
particularly requested to be forwarded early.
Business letters addressed to c. g. Baylor, Wash
ington city, D. c..
Correspondence from all interested in the cause
we advocate is solicited particularly to the CROP
as we wish to give correct information on the SUBJ
ject which is Of so much Importance to the plan
ter, and in representing which he has been often
injured.
Postmasters are requested to act as agents for
us ; and to all who approve our cause we look
for good feeling, kindness, and support.

Ossr Candidate.

James Buchanan, in j. letter to a de-.
rnocratic committee i'll Pennsylvania,
, pays our candidate for. President the
following high compliment:
"Wlien Gen. Pierce first made his
appearance in the Senate he was one
Of the youngest, ifnot the very young
est of It's members. Modest and un-
assuming in his department, but firm
and determined in his principles and
purpose, it was not long before he ac-
quired tho respect and esteem of his
brother Senators. From deep convic-
ton he was u State-rigLt, Democrat
sound, unwavering and inhcxib!c;
and lventure to predict that when his
votes are scrutenized and tested by the
touchstone Of Democratic principles,
they will present us fair a record as
those even Of the lamented Wright
himself. His innate modcsty and
comparative youth prevented him from
addressing the Senate very frequently;
and yet | we'll recollect some Of his ef-
forts which would have done no dis
cedit to the Oldest and ablest members
of the body, then in its most palmy
days. When he spoke llc was always
prepared; his voice was excellent, and
his language we'll chosen and ftlicitous;
and he had an earnestness of manner
r preceding evidently from deep con-
v ction, which always commanded the
attention of his audience. No candid
and honorable man OF any party, well
acquainted with General Pierce, will,
am convinced, deny to him the intel
lectual qualifications necessary to rem
der his administration f the govern
ment wise. able and successful Be-
sides. unless | am greatly mistaken, he
possesses determination of character
and energy Of will, without which no
individual is fitted to perform high and
responsible executive and administrn-
tive duties such rs pertain to the otf:ce
of President uf the United States. My
own observation, as we'll as the the
history of the world, have taught me
that these are qualities which do not
always belong to great Sc ators and
distinguished orators.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE OF New IoRK.
The managers of the New York
Crystal Palace seem to be progressing
rapidly in their efforts for its establish
ment. They have, we are informed by
the Journals of that city, already sc.
cured subscriptions to amount of $780,
900, ten per cent. of which is said to
have been already paid in. The plans
Of the edifice are now IN the hands of
the several architects. The site is IL
space of four hundred and fifty feet
square of the Reservoir Square, which,
though furnishing q noble editice, will
not equal that Of London Charles
Buschck, Austrian Commissioner to
the late London Exhibition, is designa-
ted as Il general foreign agent. We
hope that, for the credit Of our country,
as the affair is to come off. that it may
present no very unfavorable contrast
with that Of the Old World, though it
is not in the nature Of circumstances
to anticipate in the present its equal.
