FOR CALIFORNIA
UNITED STATES MAIL STEA M SHIP
COMPANY-T THROUGH PASSAGE TO

COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
TIME public will be gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
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 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 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
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDSON.
ITEIMUS, Capt. HIrcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, OF the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. SIN
OHIO, Capt. SCHENcK, 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 stoy 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.

COTTON PLANT.
A Southern Journal published eekly, to adj
vocate direct trade, manufactures agriculture and
the development of Southern resources by c. G
BAYLOR, Washington, d. c.
The Importance OF such journal 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 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 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 a
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
criminate 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 CO operation 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
''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.
