A CARD.?JOHN II. OIBUS would take ;
[\_ this opportunity o! returning his most heartfelt
and sincere thanks to his friends, and the citi- i
zena of Washington and its vicinity, who for the
lust thirteen years have so liberally and kindly
patronized him in his business of hair-dressing at
the National Hotel. At the same time, he begs .
to make known his intention of carrying on the
following branches of his former occupation, viz :
hair-dressing and cutting, hair dyeing, sharapooning,
Ac., on Pennsylvania Avenue,over his fancy
store, where gentlemen and Indies will find rooms
well and suitably adapted for their comfort and 1
convenience in the above business. He trusUi, by :
giving his undivided and constant personal attention,
to merit the future patronage of his friends '
and the public, and asaures them that no efforts ,
shall be w Jilting on his part to prove his deep sense
of past favors and appreciation of such encourage- j
ment as may be offered him in time to come.
To all those indebted to him at his late establish- ;
ment on Gth street, he would respectfully mention
thnt finding it eligible to make the ubove change
in his business location and arrangements, he
would esteem it as a jiurticular favor that an early
settlement of their accounts should be observed,
to enable him in close up satisfactorily and at once.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL S 1" E A M SHIP
COMPANY?THROUGH PASSAGE TO j
CALIFORNIA. i
TPH E public will be gratified to learn that the
I United States Mail Steamship Company are enabled
to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to Sun 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
shins from New York to Chagres, they were prevailed
upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desirous to go out, to sell tickets fqr
tlirough passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round. This was done
from a 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
I other line. Unforeseen difficulties, attd the preva
lence of fever at Rio de Janeiro nt the time, prevented
their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the isthmus,
which was increto-ed by the impatience of
passengers in going forward, against the udiice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now nil removed.
Three of the four ships of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived n't Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back.' So that the Company arc
now aide to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Francisco,
will be performed with regularity and despatch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran- j
cisco, consists of the
i REPUBLIC, Capt. Hudson.
[ ITHMUS. Capt. Hitchcock.
COLUMBUS, Capt. Peck.
ANTELOPE, Capt. Acki.et.

to Chngres, of the

! OHIO, Capt. Schexck, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. Hartstein, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will he
: carcfullly and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Panama,
will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations oP their New York and ChHjrres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific Line, ofier the most certain,

On my Birth Day.
BY RICHARD Ilt.NHT Mll.DC
Another of my wasted yeara has gone,
And brought me nearer nothing?but the grave;
| And thus they wax and wane, and one by one,
Leave, as tliey found tne?Melancholy s slave !
Each stamps us wrinkles deeper on my brow?
Each sheds its frost upon triy scattered hair ;
I And those who knew me once, and see me now,
Speak of me as among "the things that were." j
I've watched, through night, till dawn, the lingering
sun ?
' It is my fortieth sun?at length appears,
] And seems to question me?" What hast thou done
Thiough this long waste of miserable years ?
" Ere his eighth lustre, gallant Surry died,
But, dying, left behind a deathless name;
And hast Ihoii then, no ho honorable pride?
No noble aspiration after fame ?
" Horace and Virgil, Crcsar, Scipio lit
With glory, ere thy years, the sword or page; \
( Ev'n whilst thou liv'dst, Napoleon, Byron writ
Their brief and burning annuls on the age !
I "And then!" Enough! I know it all?'tis true !
| W usling my neuu and heart on L.ove or ltd yum;
While irrevocable moments Hew,
j I perished, nod bequeathed no name to Time ! j
TO WHO! TO WHO!
Twus on a cold autumnal night,
A dismal one to view;
Dark clouds obscured fair Venus'"light.
And not a star nppenred in sight,
As the thick forest through
Muggins?as usual?' blue,'
Heat homeward, ' tacking' left and right,
When all at once he ' brought up' right
Against an old dead yew;
At which he ' rounded to,'
And ' squaring off ' as if to fight,
Said, with an oath I shan't indite,
1 Infernal scoundiel you !
Light?an' 1'llltek you, black or wl.ite!'
iust then above htm flew
An Owl, which on a branch did light,
And then commenced ' To wiio ?
To whoo?To who?t-To wiioo!'
Quoth Muggins?1 Don't you think to fright j
; A fellow of mv weight and height,
With your Ter wiioo ter whoo,
You cursed hugahoo!

For Muggini ain't your ' due;'
For money matters are all right !?

Thereat the owl withdrew ;
And Muggins mizzled too.

Who haven't paid what's doe!

[ * '
From the flarl/ord (Conn.) Republican.
Yale Phi Beta Kappa Society and Hon. Wm.
H. Sewaiid.?A certain W. T. Gould, who writes
from Litchfield to the Hartford Courant, says he
is "a Mr. Gould of Georgia," hut that he was
not present at the meeting where objection was
made to Hon. Win. II. Seward.
Mr. W. T. Gould in correct, and the Southern ]
' Press must revise its laudation of the " spirited
[Georgian." Our informant was mistaken as to
; the name of the Chivalrtc Southron, who threatened
down the proposition to elect Mr. Seward
! Orator for 1851. This individual wns a stranger
I to our informant, who was told that he wns "a
! Mr. Gould of Georgia." He wus a stranger to
1 manv others at the meeting, it seem*. We learn
I that he was a South Carolinian,?a certain " Judge
j Cone."
I Let his name bo what it will, the fact, (exceptI
ing the name) is as we stated it.1 The Southern
Press quotes this fuel, prefacing it as follows:?
"A very significant indication of the sentiment
throughout New England was recently given at
Yale College, and an appeal to the ' pocket nerve'
! from a spirited Georgian alone prevented the sei
lection of this man as the Anniversary Orator of
j that Institution."
The Press here quotes what we stated conceru!
ing the balloting for Mr. Seward, and concludes
' thus:
! "It is a favorite maxim of a sagacious politicinn,
"that one fact is worth a thousand arguments;"
and the simple statement of such facts
?itweights any quantity of blarney.
Let our Northern brethren be judged by their
acts, not their professions."
Now it is a pity to disturb this hopeful ntood j
of the Southern Press, which appears to assume
t that the Chivalry have their "Northern brethren"
\ under bonds to behave well. But we must not
' suffer it to feed its hope on a delusion.
! In the first place, the Phi Beta Kappn Society
| is not Yale College; neither does it represent "the
| :;entiment throughout New England." It is a soj
ciety of College graduates, old and young, who
reside in all parts of the country,
j In the second place, that Phi Beta Kuppu SociI
ety, after allowing that impertinent Southron to
i prevent the election of Mr. Seward, hnd a "sober
i second thought" and become mindful that thpre
: are some other people in the country besides the
slaveholders. The result was that it elected Rev.
I John Pierpont its poet for 1851. We were not
| aware of this, when we gave our renders that first
.it iitemerif we received it. from our informant.
' Neither wan he aware of it at the time.
Mr. Pierpont's opinions on the slavery question
are not only "extreme"' in the same direction as
Mr. Seward's; hut they are considerably "more
no." We hope the editor of the Southern Preen
will keep cool over this fact, and not allow himself
to dissolve the Union until the Phi Beta
Kappa Society has a chance to apologize for this '
I encouragement to the horrible sift of anti-slavery. J
' Please delay the dissolution; Hiid if meanwhile ,

Bt'll Fight iv Maprid.?The last bull light
I here was extremely fertile in incidents. Besides ,
the ordinary number of horses killed, and pica- '

death, and the celebrated bull fighter, named Ha-!

was on duty outside the barrier, when a bull, one j
; of the famous breed belonging to the Duke ofVeragua
(the lineal descendant of Christopher Columbus,)
rushed against the barrier, Lroke it
down, and tossed the unfortunate soldier into the

Interesting Letter from Lieu. Cue.
We give place, with pleasure, to the following
correspondence:
Washington, Aug. 24th, ltL'iO.
Messrs. Editors: I heard a few days since of
the denth of Levin H. One. Many knew him,
his line mind, his una. Ifish and intrepid nature.
11 in loss ik incalculable,his death 1 heard announced
with a depth of pain 1 had not expected to experience
for one no much a stranger to myself.
In turning over my papers this evening, I lay
my hand upon a letter of his which 1 now enclose.
It is not inappropriate that it should lie given to
the public. It is n voice, a patriotic and a manly
voice, as it were from the tomb.
It is the answer of the noble and the single
hearti d, to the ninny letters published with such
pains to break down the spirits of the South,
[ through opinions of broken down politicians and
hungry expectants, grasping at every invitation or
permission to cast themselves at any cost, once
i more into the broad and corrupt, but to thent enI
vied politicul arena.
If all men had spoken as he speaks, who supposes
the North would have refused us equal rights
| in our common territory ? As it is, we are almost
I certain to he excluded. Who supposes California
I would have been admitted with our territory,
I South of 3t>30 embraced in it? And that all our
| territory would have been left subject to Mexican
emancipation laws, and to the intrigues of government
officials and army officers ? But as it is, our
doom is sealed in my opinion on all these point*.
We have thanks to give for it to many; but none
such nit Levin H. Coe, are in that rank. Posterity
will reap the fruit, and in twenty-five years
their verdict will he legible in the insignificance of
Southern power and the loss of Southern rights,
and the insecurity of Southern property.
Compromise indeed ! Mr. Clay himself declured
in my hearing, mid at his sent in open Senate,
that it gurr all to the North, and the compromise to
the South, was, as lie expressed it, that it alloircd
the South to save her honor ! Honor is something to
nakedness, but nakedness is not honorable. By
Mr. Clay's own written declaration, he is for
emancipation in Kentucky (a slave Stute) and by
his own emnbatie, sneech this session, no enri.hlv
j power can force his consent to any step which
shall extend slavery over a foot of new territory
So he is against the extension of slavery, where
it is not r.ow ; and he is for its abrogation where
it now is. Could an abolitionist go further than
goes Mr. Clay? And yet wt* shout out for Mr.
Cluy's Compromise. Your friend,
It. W. JOHNSON.
Memphis, Feb. 12, 1850.
Dear Sir : I um just in receipt of a cony of your
" Address to the citizens of Arkansas. I should
do injustice to my own feelings if I were not
[ promptly to advise you that I fully and cordially
I approve all your views and sentiments contained
therein. The subject you speak of is one I have
i watched long and anxiously. Would to God
every son of the South would speak promptly and
speak as you have done. Much us I desire the
continued union of the States, 1 am no blind devotee.
I cannot buy its continuance at the cost of
degradation to us, and ruin to our children. It is
better to crush the hydra of abolition before it
grows strong enough to destroy us. The Misf
. :< ,?i.i c.
oimiii viMii|?umiioc,?n u in wimciy uuihi, iuiu irai fully
against die South. It Was a stab that sunk
deep into our vitals. The old political fornicator
who was the author of it, and whose face is still
to the North for the presidency, has, I see, introduced
what he calls a new compromise project.
There is nothing of compromise in it; to say there
is, is a base fraud. ' It is a plain oiler to deliver
us, bound hand and foot, upon the altar of Northern
fanaticism, our necks bared for the knife.
You deal justly with those who cast opprobrium
upon us by disclaiming against African slavery as
an evil in the abstract. It is no business of the
people of the North whether this be right or wrong.
White slavery exists nt the North?black at the
South. We might, with truth, retort that ours is
far the more mild. The doctrine of non intervention
as shadowed forth by Mr. Clay don't suit the
I times or the emergency. It might have answered
before Missouri was udmitted, not since. That
compromise forced upon us, as an interpolation
upon the Constitution produced effects that must
be looked to. It ordered that slavery should not
go North of SIP 3(1*. The statesmen of that day
who submitted to this,must render u fearful reckoning
to posterity. But to blame them now will not
I remedy the evil. Our object is self-preservation
j for the future, nnd, in attempting this, we have as
i best we can to remedy the blundering of the past.
The South should demand in absolute terms:
j 1st. Efficientand sure means for the recovery of
I our fugitive slaves. 2d. No further agitation of
| slavery on the slave trade in the District or between
I the Stutes. 3d. Thutull territory south of 36? 30'
shall be slave territory and slave .Stales. This, of
course involves t lie rejection of the pretended constitution
of California.
If these be not conceded to us, we have but one
course to pursue?meet the crisis as becomes men.
We act the part of fools to let the chains forging
for us, be fastened upon us link by link. We are
better able now to maintain S uthern rights and
Southern honor, than our children will be 20 years i
hence, when borne to earth by the accumulated j
wrongs we may have submitted to.
A confiscation of nil debts owing the North by
southern States and people, and free trade to us
with the world,would soOn cause even the fanatics
to confess thnt the Union with the South which
their aggressions had broken, was of value to the
North. Very respectfully,
L. II. COE.
An Eccewtr'c aim Bachelor.?We find in the
<trl?,.no r. ? ..CO,,. III. I. ..
dated Woodbridge, N. J., July 5th, 111 which we
find the following singular account of an eccentric
[ old bachelor :?
An old bachelor has lately died in this place,
I leaving a fortune of $80,000. From what we learn of
, him he must be one of the most eccentric and euriI
ous chaps that ever lived. His clot' eirupon being
; taken off were separately folded in paper and were
j never a.lowed the sight of the brush, a silk kandj
kerchief answering every purpose.
Should he be in the road and spy a wagon in
the distance, he would run for his life, for fear that i
that a speck of dust should chance to fiy upon j
him. The village belles have enjoyed many a |
laugh at him when returning from church to see
him take to his heels and run at the sight of a car-;
riage or a cloud of dust, and although he would
take no notice of them at the time, yet they were
not fogotten. He always endeavored to keep as
clear of the ladies as possible and particularly the i
widows, whom he looked upon as something very j
dreadful, and was never caught walking in the j
road with one ifhe knew it.
With all hin oddities, he was miserly to a cent, j
and would often be seen at the stores exchanging
a quarter of a dollar for twenty-five pennies,there-'
hy saving n copper on every twenty-five. These
he would not take either without examining every ,
one to see whether it woe not bad, rusty, or something
else. Many of the articles he bought was
by the penny's worth, and hence his great use for !
that .particular coin, when he came to the last
nennv of his bundle it was wrunned in two nieces
of paper find laid away.
Thus lived this curious old man, and when
he approached death 'a door he wm aa odd aa ever. |
He could not bear the idea of any oneaeeing him, '
or entering his clothes, aiep on his shoes, or do
some other damage, and in this state he died, "unwept,
unpilied and uncurcd for," although worth
a fortune of $80,000,

To General Samuel F. Cary and others:?
Gentlemen?1 am honored by the receipt of
your letter of the 4th ulL,in which you tender to
me a sword as an evidence of your appreciation
of my services as an officer of the United States,
in several wars with the Indians and with the
Republic of Mexico.
The appropriation of his countrymen, is justly
esteeiyed the highest reward, which a public servant
enn receive for his services, and such a reward
is richly enhanced when bestowed, unbidden,
by that portion of my fellow-citizens, who
have known him longer and best, and whose
names are Hasoetaieu witu ins earliest una lumpiest
recollections. It is with unfeigned fl
deep emotion, that 1 recognize among tire donors
of this token of yoi.r regard and approbation,
the names of playmates of my ehiluhoAd,
schoolmates, of my boyhood, of those who
cherished and directed with their christian wisdom,
tlie vague aspiration of my youth, and of
those who encouraged me to advance, when pausing
on the slippery threshhold of active life ; a
host of friends whose good opinion alone, is a
reward far above my humble merits, and to retain
whose esteem, will be the highest ii-.cent.ive,
to the continued discharge of the arduous duties
of my profession.
Re aasimd then, gentlemen, that the sword
you have presented me, is received and valued
above price, as a token of your approval of my
past career. It shall bo kept, unsullied, through
I my future life, and often will I look upon it to
encourage mo in the aim to continue to the end
such a course as to deserve your generous esteem.
With nty whole heart T thank yon and am j
gratefully and verv respectful I v, your obedient
servant, HUBERT C. CALDWELL. |
Rotntv Land Bill.?The passage of the bill
granting bounty land to officers and soldiers of
the lust war with Great Britain, and the several
Indian wars, is giving rise to an unprecedented
number of applicants to the Third Auditor's
Otliue for information.
It is deemed advisable to state that copies of
the. army rolls cannot be furnished from this
office, for various reasons; one of which is sufficient,
namely, the utter impracticability of
doing so.
If one agent has a right to copies of the rolls.!
j so would twenty thousand ; and all the clerks I
I in the employ of the Government could not]
j lumish such copies. Resides, there is no nuthoj
ritv for doing so. All applications must pas^
! through the Pension Office, (under the direction i
J of the Secretary of the Interior.) and regular!
certificates of service will he furnished to the
| Commissioner of Pensions, hy the Third AtnliI
tor, as is now the practice in regard to all claims
I for pensions or bounty land.
This course is necessary to prevent frauds

NTT he Republican of yesterday, comment- I
ing upon our paragraph in reference to Governor
Town's Proclamation, in Which wc expressed
the hope that the people ot* the State would sustain,
with promptness and unanimity, the action
of their legislative und Executive authorities,
remarks :
Our cotemporury docs not point out the w ay
to '-sustain the action of the legislature and
Executive authorities"?whether by disunion or
non-intercourse. The important thing just now
is the maimer, the plan, by which tiiis is to be
done.
Precisely so- It is the * importance" of determining
(lint "tiling just now" which has induced
the osll of Hie Convention. Jt is not our
province, even if we felt capable of Homo so. to
I i ~ - O
point out "the manner, the plan bv which this is
to be done." We propose to leave it to the people,
\\ hose common rights and interests are involved.
Has not the editor of tho Rcpubiu:an ?
sufficient confidence in their intelligence, patriotiamuuil
moderation to submit tliu matter to
their deliberation and decision We will only
add that we have never advocated "disunion or
non-interyourse," though we are perfectly willing
to abide by the decision of the people of
Georgiain Convention-assembled, whom we think
t|uiteas capable of determining what measures
are right and proper to be adopted in tho present
emergency as are those politicians and editors
who are laboring to create divisions among our
people and to place the State in an attitude to
made her ridiculous and contemptible in the eyes
of our enemies.
We are for union as long as the Union ean
be honorably maintained, but where Georgia declares
that she can no longer remain in the Union,
with safety and honor, then we are for
Georgia. In the language of the ReuvJdk.au
on a recent occasion?''Much as we love the
Union we love Georgia more. And when the
people of Georgia, united with one accord and
with the true spirit of Georgians, shall give her
banner to the breeze, bear it Union or Disunion,
we shall be found under its folds, whether
itfto.it in triumph or in blood."?Park (G'a.)

TKf.kuitai'ine Verbosity,?We hear frequent
complaints of the brief, incomplete and
unsatisfactory accounts whicli the. telegraph
furnishes of events and proceedings in different
parts of the country. It is said to furnish just
enough to spoil the details wnen they come to
hand. Much of truth as there is in this
charge, we imagine the telegraph or those
more properly, who cater to its lightning
usee, are equally open to an opposite complaint.
Certainly,a great part of the matter published
under the head of telegraphic despatches is the
most useless and unimportant stuff imaginable
which would not be noticed if received by
due course of mail in the papers, but which as
it is |uiid for at the rati- of a cent a word or so,
editors think they must spread Out in their most
prominent type.
