Letter or Hon. b. F. Butler.

Our readers may remember that we some time since
commented briefly upon the letter OF Senator Chase adj
dressed 10 Hon. b. +. Butler, OF New York, and sp-
peaing specially to portion OF the united democracy
to renounce the support Of Pierce and King, and
join the third party abolitionst organization in IA
OF the candidate TO be named by the abolition
ist convention at Pusburg. We have since seen no
effect resulting from the publication Of Mr.. Chase's letter
which, in making its appeal to democrats exclusively
instead OF the "hgberlaw" wings, had plainly enough
been misdrected and sent TO the wrong destination Il
therefore has, naturally enough shared the fate OF other
decd letters We learn. however. has been read with
satisfaction by some Of the wings OF the Ohio Reserve
II now appears, moreover, that Mr. Butler has read
the letter for he has published very conclusive and e
fecual reply TO that portion OF il which urges any demo-
crai TO Join the Pit,sburg organization. The Pitsburg
nomination seems 10 lie between Messrs. Chase and
Hae-cach OF these gentlemen being anxious TO decline
the honor in favor Of the other. Mr. Butler, however.
recognises no call or obligation, in the existing state of
things 10 vote for either of them, but, the contrary.

FOR CALIFORNIA,
UNITED STATES MAIL STEA MSH IL
MPANY-TTROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA;

UNITED STATES MAIL MSHIP
OMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA;
nNHE public will be gratifed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their. arrangements 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 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 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-
ence 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, mt an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions 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. HUDsoN.
ITIiMUS, Capt. HirCHCOcK
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. ScHENCK, u. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsTEIN, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay 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.
