FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
UNSATISFACTORY PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

THE 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 10 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 al the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS ID 90 out to cell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
heir ships then going round This was done
from desire 70 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 preya-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janciro 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, ut 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 Con,pany 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 70 San Fran.
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. Hupsoy.
ITHMUS, Capt. HrrcHcocr.
COLUMBUS, Capt. Peg.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcxLrr.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, nom New York
10 Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt PoRrER, u. SIN.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcx, u. SN.
FALCON, Capt HAarsrEN, U, sN.
The connection between the two lines will be
beyond the usual stsy ofthe ship in port at Pans-
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 Other Pacific Line offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage 70 California.

pursued by the Secretary OF State IN relation TO
The payment Of the late instruments, by which, he
said. the interests Of this government had been
.ub;.c,ed IN the cupidty OF British bankers and
snscuIa,ors. Mr.. Webster, he said, had admitted
that the Mexican government had made a demand
for the payment OF the instruments IN different
form from that pursued. The amendment was
rejected.

amendment. by adding " provided that II cause nc

Of the Committee o. Ways and Means, which had
reported the bill, TO endorse Mr.. Webster. The

clear that the course which is recommended 10

Mr.. BAYLY replied. He, and the committee,
agreed in opinion with Mr. Webster that there

Uncle TOMS Cabin

Is the title ola book recently published North, writ
ten by Mrs. Caroline Beechcr Stowe which appears to
have attracted great attention in the Northern States,
and infinitely more in the Southern than it deserves.
The authoress seems to have induged her imagination
very extensively in misrcprcscnting Southern slave
holders and holding up the institutions Of the South
before the world in false and basely perverted view
We have not read Mrs Stoves book, nor do we think
it likely that SHALL We have seen enough OF it al-
ready and have no idea of lending our countenance or
support to work base and utterly false and perni-
cious in its character and influence Such publications
should be prohibited in the Southern States, and 1t
ought to be an indictable offence for any Southern
bookseller to vend abolition and inccndary publca-
ons like this, which manlfestly cndangers the peace
and safety Of our homes and frcsides All matters OF
this kind should be summarily dealt WITH nor should
we touch the matter with gloves on. Selfpreserva-
ton ought to be the very first law of our nature no'0
The extraordinary eagerncss with which things OF this
class arc received at the Morrill, demonstrates concu-
syely the state of feeling there and that this question
will have to be scted-thc battle fought there can
not be reasonable doubt. The it is done the
better. ~
It's strange tho South fight so we'll on abstract
principles when the quarrels of the General Govern
men are to be settled oy the force of arms and peace
conquered on the territory of ncghboring nation the
Justice and policy Of which might be question OF
doubt On every such occasion, blood and treasure
are not wanting the part Of the South but arc offer
ed freely in the common cause. But when our own
institutions need protection, cold le.hargic sleep
deadens every faculty and the current Of the Southern
soul becomes frozen and paralyZcd
