FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP Up
COMPANY-T THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

COMPAN l-THROUGH P1SS.fGE ~
CALIFORNIA.
TIME public will be gratiied to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are
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 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 desrous 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-
Ience 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
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
CISCO consists 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, 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.

COTTON PLANT.
A Southern journal, published eekly, to ad-
vocate direct trade manufactures, agriculture, and
the development of Southern resources by C. G.
BAYLOR, Washington, d. 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 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 ad
vocate. The proper steps have been taken in
Europe and America to lay the foundation Of
direct foreign trade at the South, and introduce
our coarse manufactures into the continental Eu-
ropean market. One object of the "CorroN
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 cooperation not to be found else
where.
To the cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco planters,
we look confidently for support; and to the friends
of '.drect 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.

ROT BY CAMPBELL
OF Collins and his ships
since the glorious day. carouse,
When, TO wet their thirsty lips,
All the members of each House
Crowd the cabins of the best of his line
Pressing round, the members stand
All the wisdom of the land
Each with sparkling glass in hand,
Filled with wine.
There are thousands now on board
Fen the President and suite,
And the foreign titled lord,
And the loafer from the street,
And the damsel, from the Avenue, are found
Jostlng DER the crowded floor.
With the diplomatic corps
And a motley mixture more
Crowding round.
Pass around the eau de pie.
And the glowing bottles drain:
Pour out the claret free,
And start the brisk champagne,
For the popping of each cork makes vote;
Then ply the members well,
For those arguments will tell,
Which reach the mind pellmell
BY the throat.
We Wall street financiers,
And we "dead heads" Of the press,
Join in wine and cheers,
Care nothing for excess
Drop Temperance for this great Jubilee,
For, in Uncle Sans domain,
We II a higher law" maintain
Than the Liquor Law of Maine
Fer can be.
Well have our jolly cruise
At the national expense.
For our Congress can't refuse
To provide for our "defence,"
Bv having for whate 'er the owners call;
And, for all the feast and show,
We shall have a fine appro-
priation. that shall go
To pay all.
Brave Gothamites! Your fame
Rings the Baltic cabin through,
And the splendor of your name
Swallows up the nation too
All the rest Of the Unions but a fam;
Ye shall have steamers till
All the ocean world they fill,
With thee to foot the bill,
