South Carolina Wing Convention
BALTIMORE, June IL.
The South Carolina Wing convent m was
fully attended, and perfect harmony and great
enthusiasm prevailed.
The preamble sets forth many sacrifices by
the Wings of South Carolina, in their devotion
to the Union, and asserts their readiness TO
stand upon the compromise and maintain it as
essential to the harmony and existence of the
Wing party and the integrity of the Union.
A resolution declares that the Wings give
cordial and hearty support to any Wing candi
date, and none other who explicitly avows the
acceptance of the compromise as a fnality.
The second resolution endorses the present ad-
miristration, and eulogizes Fillmore The third
resolution expresses the admiration and talents
of Webster. Neither resolution instruct dele.

Webster the sc cond choice.

To the Editors Of The NeD York Tribune:
In an article on American literature in the
Westminster Repie,c for April, and in one on
Edgar A. Poe, in Taifs Magazine for the same
month, we find a repetition of certain incorrect
and injurious statements in regard to the de
ceased author, which should not longer be suf-
fered to pass unnoticed. These statements
have circulated through half dozen foreign and
domestic periodicals, and are presented with an
ingenious variety of detail. As specimen we
take passage fiom TAFT who quotes ns his
authority Doctor Griswold's memoir of the
poet:

that yet remained to him, was simply repe'i.

which his reputation still increased, and he mads

gagged to marry lady who is termed one of the
most brilliant women in New England He,
however, suddenly changed his dete' mnation;
and, after declaring his intention to break The
match he crossed the same dsy into the city
where the lady dwelt and, on the evening that
should have been the evening before the bridal,

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES PASSAGE TO
-- CdLIE0RNId.

THE public will be graaiaed to learn that the
| | United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sendng 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
sh Ups 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 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 tleelr 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, 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 lack. 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. HUDSON.

OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, u. s. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrElN, u. s. NJ
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, SO that no delay
beyond the usual stay Oft the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations of their New York and Chasres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships Of their Pacific Line. offer the most certain,
rlpd, and pleasant through passage to California.

OF THE
COTTON LIANT.
A Southern journal, published eekly, to ad-
vocate direct trade, manufactures, agriculture and
the development OF Southern resources by c. G.
LOR, Washington, D. G..
The importance of such journal as the above
needs no exposition. The material and substan-
tul interests Of the South Lave been too long ne
elected. The "CoTToN PLANT" is established to
promote these interests, keeping entirely aoof
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 medium of
general communication, correspondence, and in
formation for the friends Of the measures we add
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, 10
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 oPgeneral 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,
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.
