FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY-THROU PASSAGE TO

CALIFORNIA.
THE public will be gratifed to learn that the
i United States Mail Steamship Company 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 go out, to cell 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 prsya-
lence 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 impatience 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. HUpsog.
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. SoHEscg, u 9. n,
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEE, u. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that 10 delay
beyond the usual stay Of the ship in port at Fsna-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations OF their New York and Chsgres
Line, and the speed and accommodations Of The
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.

vocate direct trade manufactures, agriculture, and
the development OF Southern resources by C. G ,
BAYLOR, Washington, ID. c..
The Importance of such journal as the above
needs no exposition. The material and substan-
tal interests Of the South have been too long ne
elected. The "CoTroN PLANT is established to
promote these interests, keeping entirely aloof
from party or party politics. A complete foreign

our columns, which will present medium of
general communication, col respondence, and in
formation for the friends of the measures we adj
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 lay
them before the country, to enable the friends of
Southern commerce, manufactures, &C., to dis
crminate 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 Of general operation 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 regular issue of the "CoTToN PLANT" will
commence in June next. Advertisements are
particularly requested to be forwarded early.
