abled to announce that their rrangementsa 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
rom 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 laneiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama a. soon
anticipated, aud caused detention al the 18th
mus, which was increased by the Impotence OF
passengers in gong 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 rhe 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

A Southern Journal, published eekly, to ad-
vocae direct trade, manufactures, agriculture, end
the development of Southern resources by c. G
BAY LOR, 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 "CoTToN PLANT" is established to
promote these interests keeping entirely aloof
from party or party politics. A complete foreign

our columns, which will present u medium of
general communication, correspondence, 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 u
direct foreign trade the South. and to introduce
our coarse manufactures into the continental Eu-
ropean market One object of the "CoTToN
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
criminaie 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-
nitv 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 "drect trade" throughout the South we say
f'show your faith by your works. :"
