complsts 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 10 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 prcva-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships nom 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 that the

COTTON PLANT.
A Southern journal; published weekly, to ad-
vocae direct trade manufactures, agriculture, end
the development Of Southern resources by C.. G.
BAYLOR, Washington, d. 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 "CoTroN PLANT" is established to
promote these interests, keeping entirely nloof
from party or party politics. 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
direct foreign trade at the South, and to introduce
our coarse manufactures into the continental Eu-
ropean market. One object of the "CorToN
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 lay
them before the country, to enable the friends Of
Southern commerce., manufactures, &C., to dis
crmnate properly in their desire to promote South
ern enterprise.
The importance of Washington 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 Of general 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,
s'show 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. q. 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 sui
ect which is of so much importance to the plan
ter, and in representing which he has been so 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.
