Nowlin, wno lives near Leather wood Post Office,
llenry. About dark Dr. Clopton rode to the gate
and requested an interview with Col. Jonet, who
immediately started out to see him, and when he
had arrived within about ten steps of the gate,
Clopton inquired if that was Col. Jones, and bein;
informed it was, discharged a gun at him heaviiy
loaded with bullets and shot, which took efI'-rt
in the left leg, breaking (he thigh bone and
i therwise seriously injuring the limb. I will pay
the above reward of two hundred dollais, for the
apprehension and delivery of said Clopton to the
j roper authorities of Henry county, to be dealt
with, pursuant to law, where warrants have been
i. sued, for his apprehension. Dr. Clopton is about
4.i years old, about six feet high, has blue eyes,
Very gray for Ilia-age; he is singular in his manners
and dress, at times quite polite, converses
well and weighs about ICO or 170 pounds.

THIRD ANJiUAL EXHIBITION
OF TIIE
Marvl.nn<i State Agricultural Society.
Al'l'KAL to the Memhehs ok the Maryland
State Agricultural Society.?Wedesire
that you .should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
2ill), und 2oih days of October, your Society will
bold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city of
Baltimore : and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock,
the products of your orchards, and of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and" be thus deterred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relutive merits of any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
f?u- you to arrive at, will be that what you have
is as good, if not better than that of others, and
that it behooves you to gallantly enter the list of
competition : if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is a guarantee that you
can be defeated in 110 other way, you will enjoy
the luxury of knowing that others were more entitled
to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave permission
to solicit your interest, to induce your
wires and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to tiicir peculiar departments, as embroidery, household
manufactures, the products of the dairy and of
the poultry yard, preserves, domestic wines, cotfectioiw,
and, above all tilings, to come themselves, as
without woman, and the beautiful elaborations of her
toxic and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the -Manufacturers cf Agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri- J
otisni both combine to enjoin upon you the pro- i
priety of making a grand exhibition of your machinery
of all kinds, as from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assemblage of tanners
and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from most ot the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the Agricultural )
Implement makers and Mechanics of the United States,
make it tx matter of pride to display your machinery
at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and lurgest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudable?is worthy of
Ahicncan genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATE8 MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY? THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
'T^HE public will be gratified to learn that the
i UniledSiates Mail Steamship Company are en
iiuicu IU cimiuuijccr uiai men ui i uu^cuicnu^ ai c nu n
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 Chogres, they were prevailed
upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desirous to go out, to sell tickets for
through 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
other hue. Unforeseen difficulties, and the prevalence
of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, prevented
their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the Isthmus,
which was increased by the impatience 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, huve arrived ut Panama,
ami several a if them huve performed trips to San
Francisco anil back. So tlmt the Company nre
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to Sun Francisco,
will be pcrronr.cij with regularity u;id ilea
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Francisco,
consists of the
REPUBLIC, Cant. Hudsow.
1THMUS, Capt. Hitchcock.
COLUMBUS, Cupt. Pkck,
ANTELOPE, Cupt. Acki.ev.

to Chagres, of lite
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. Schenck, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HahtstMNi U. S. N.
The connection between the two linGS will be
carefullly 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
accommodation# of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and acaomrr,0tlations of the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.

The publishers have cxpendtd a large sum of
money to get original drawings of machinery in
practical use in this country, and have procured
almost every woik on the audject, whether published
in England, France, or Germany the most
essential parts of which being comprised in this
Dictionary, render it as perfect and comprehensive
as possible. The publishers have endeavored
louse great economy in type, so that each page of
the work contains at least four times the number
of words found in ordinary pages of the same size.
This has also secured to each plate woiking-drawngs
of ample 3ize and clearness, so that a Mechanic
may construct accurately any machine described.
The publishers are, in short determined, regardless
of cost, to make the work as complete as possible
; and it is hoped every one desirous to obtain
the work will procure it as issued in numbers, and
thus encourage the enterprise.
The work will he issued in semi-monthly numbers,
commencing in January, 1850, and will pro>
gross wit'' great regularity,
The whole work will be published in 40 numbers
at ^5 cents per numbci, and completed within
the current year, 1850. A liberal discount will
be made to agents.
Any one remitting the publishers ?10 iu advance
shall receive the work through the post office free
of expense.

of which this paper is at once tlie commencement,
and a sample of the papers that are to follow, has
for its aim no less a purpose, than to impart instruction,
in the general and detail, to the Officers
and Agents of the American public, in respect both
to their duties and their rights, and to make them,
and the people at large, acquainted with the organization,
decisions and action of the Executive departments
of their Government. There has hitherto
Leen no vehicle for tlie regular and proper j
communication of information of this kind. The
publication of the Laws and the issue of instructions,
more or less comprehensive, and at intervals
more or less extended, have proved wholly inadequate,
hi the absence of the construction of "those
Laws, as applied to particular cases, and of detuils
nnd illustrations to muke the regulations and instructions
intelligible. The valuable documents
annually reported to Congress, are too voluminous,
tnd are printed in quantities too small for general
circulation; whilst the debutes in Congress and
he commentaries of the press upon their proceeduga,
nnd the proceedings of the Executive branch
af the Government, besides turning mostly upon
general principles, address themselves only to
uarty ends, nnd to matters of national policy.
These publications in their various forms are
highly useful in themselves as far ns they go, and
some of them indispensable; but there is much
that do not reach the hands of till, nor if they did,
Jo they furnish those rules, methods, and exami,l?
4v... !.- ?r .1 i i:~ i :
t?M v.ic ucopivii KJI VIIC |iulmi<: uuptiiirsn which |
:nn render the discharge of public duty either safe
ur easy, whether in respect to the incumbent himself,
or the department or bureau under which he
sets. We shall make an honest effort to supply
[his vacuum, and to provide for these necessities.
If we succeed in rendering the functions of the
nrimnry offices more uniform, methodical, and extct,
we shall make the administrative duties of the
lepartments more easy and effective, and thereby
promote the real and substantial interests of the
country. And this we expect to do, to some extent
at least?apart fVom, and independently of
toy party or personal interest or question whatever.
It is known to most of those to whom this paper
will be sent, that the Senior Editor was Auditor
of the Post-Office Department until the month
if November last; with by far ths larger portion
of both postmasters and contractors, lie has had
direct intercourse, in person or by letter. He entered
tlie department fourteen years since, and for
many years previously, had been, first in the War
Department, aid subsequently in the Treasury.
He has therefore had the best opportunities for
understanding the arrangements of business in all
the departments, and being acquainted with those
who carry it on. Since his official connection with
the Government ceased, lie flatters himself he has
preserved the respect and regard of most of the
present incumbents of the departments, and is on |
becoming term* of intercourse and civility with
Litem ull. The Junior Editor has been asssiduously
engaged for several years, in studying, by personal
inquiry and examination, the practical and
Jaily routine and details of the Post-Office and
other branches of the public business. It is with
this stock of experience, and these advantages for
reaching the various sources of administrative action,
and for imparting minute and illustrative instruction,
and valuable periodical and statistical
information, that we challenge your confidence
and solicit your support and patronage.
We have fixed upon the 1.1th of each month as
the duy for the publication of our paper, so as to
afford time for obtaining from the departments,
all the orders, notices andohanges issued, or made
by tliem during the preceding month. Tables of
Post Offices, and compilations of the Laws and
Regulations, are issued l>y the Post Office Department
only once in two or three years. It is a
matter of inconvenience and complaint, for which
hitherto there has been no remedy, that in one
month from the time of those issues, there are offices
in the tables which are no longer in ope.ation,
and offices in operation which are not in the tables.
At this time there are perhaps over throe thousand
offices of the two descriptions, In like manner
laws have heen passed and regulations established
since the issue of the last volume of regulations,
of which many postmasters and others are wholly
ignorant. We propose to prevent, for the present,
my increase of the evil of either kind, and from
the time another issue shall be made, our paper
tvill furnish the additions, corrections, and tnotlifi;ations,
made in each month, and by being filed
uid preserved, will afford to postmasters full and
?xuct information upon both subjects, up to and
or time being. How much of the present inisdi
'ccuuii, rerunning, uuuui, coniuuion, error, nnil
imposition, will be saved by tbe progressive state
if full and exact knowledge, for which we have
irovided, and for which we engage, every intelligent
postmaster can estimate for Inmself.
These advantages alone and independently of all
itliers, are worth many times the price we charge
or the paper, and will, it is hoped, induce every
loatmaster who feels a just pride in his office, or
i patriotic regard for the credit, prosperity, and
?fficiency of the whole Post-Office system?at once
o subscribe. The same considerations apply to
he orders and notices, decisions, and instructions
if the War, Navy, Treasury, State, and Interior
Jepartments, and the same course is intended in
espcct to them. Notices of the decisions of the
Supreme Court, in cases turning upon questions
if official duty or national interest, will find a place
n this paper.
A department of our paper addressing itself not
merely to postmasters and other officers of the
Groremment, but to all other citizens who give attention
to the affairs of the nation and the progress
md development of the country, will embrace in a
mndensed form tbe matters submitted to, or arisng
in Congress. At each session a vast deal of
valuable information is communicated to Congress,
by tbe several departments and their suborlinate
bureaus, and profound and comprehensive
eports are made by committees of both Houses,
liut tbe great mass of the community know nothng
of tiie ccntents of these documents and rew.rtcj
nvranl tlio iwifwAu nf \*.*l?irh
rom time to time nppenr in the public papers.
I'lie standing number printed of each documen
uid report, is only twelve hundred in the Senate,
nid fourteen hundred in the House of Representaives,
which ut once shows the inipracticnbility of
heir dissemination. The Advertiser will connin
short abridgments or analysis of all these
Inciiments and reports, and the compend will
hcrefore not only prove exceedingly useful and
instructive in itself, but will furnish an easy index
:o those interested, whenever it is found desirable
:o obtain and examine the document at large.
Fhere is a large field Ixsfore us, the materials are
lniplc. It will ho our zealous care to collect and
trrange them in the proper form. We have every
jonfidence that the subscriptions will be ample to
>nable us to accomplish it all. The information
ive propose to give, comprehending and confined
:o the action of the Government, is solid, useful,
ind (we might almost say) necessary to the officer?if
not to the citizen. It is intended for all,
md put at n price which can constitute no obstacle
ivilh any. Ifat the end of the year, any subscriber
shall find that he has not received the full value of
lis money, in intellectual enjoyment and in the
increased light nnd nid afforded him, for the dis
hargc oT his otticial Unties or in exorcising by his
rote his just share in the conduct of our public affairs,
then shall we be ready to admit, that our
liopcs and expectations have been disappointed,
uid thut the contract on our part has failed.

L1TTGLI/9 LIVING AGE.
| Published every Saturday, at 12J rents a Number,
Yearly, in advixnee, &(t.
BY E. LITTELL A CO., BOkTON.
rilHIS work is conducted in the spirit of LitJL
tell 's Museum of Foreign Literature, (which
was favorably received by tlie public for twenty
years,) but an it is twice aa large, and appears so
often, we not only give spirit and freshness to it
by many things which were excluded by a month's
delay, but while thus extending our scope, and
gathering u greater and more attractive variety,
are able so to increase the solid and substantial
part of our literary, historical, and political harvest,
as fully to satisfy the wants of the American
reader.
The elaborate and stately Essays of the Edinburgh,
Uuarterly, and other Reviews; and Blackwood's
notable criticisms on Poetry, his keen
political Commentaries, highly wrought Tales,
and vivid descriptions of rural and mountain
scenery; and the contributions to I.ii?r?inM Hi?- 1
lory, and common life, by the sagacious Spectator,
ilie sparkling Examiner, the judicious Athenaeum,
the busy and industrious Literary Qozette, the
sensible and comprehensive Brituuniu, the sober
and respectable Christian Observer; these are intermixed
with the Military and Naval reminiscences
of the United Service, and with the best articles of
the Dublin University, New Monthly, Fraser's,
Tail's, Ainsworth's, Hood's, and Sporting Magazines,
and of Chnmbers's admirable Journal. We
do not consider it beneath our dignity to borrow
wit and wisdom from Punch; and, when we think
it good enough, mal e use of the thunder of The
Times. We shall increase our variety by importations
from the continent of Europe, and front the
new growth of the British colonies.
The steamship has brought Europe, Asia, and
Africu into our neighborhood, and will greatly
multiply our connexions as merchants, travellers,
nnd politicians, with all parts of the world; so that,
much more than ever, it now becomes every intelligent
American to he informed of the conditions
and changes of foreign countries. And this not
only because of their nearer connexion with ourselves,
but because the nutinns seem to be hastening
through a rapid process of change, to some
new stale of things, which the merely polilicul
prophet-cannot compute or foresee.
Geographical Discoveries, the progress of Colonization,
(which is extending over the whole
world,) and Voyages nnd Travels, will he favorite
matter for our selections; and, in general, we shall
systematically and very fully acquaint our readers
Willi the great department of foreign affairs, without
entirely neglecting our own.
While we aspire to make the Living Jlge desirable
to all who wish to keep themselves informed
of the rapid progress of the movement?to statesmen,
divines, lawyers, and physicians?to men of
business ami men of leisure,?it is still a stronger
object to make it attractive to their wives nnd
-I. .1.1 ur. i.
we ueneve dial we can thus do some
good in our day and generation, and hope to
make the work indispensable in every well-informed
family. We suy indispensable, because in
tins day of cheap literature, it is not possible
to guard against the influx of what is bud in
taste and vicious in morals, in any other way than
by furnishing a sufficient supply of a healthy
character. The mental and moral appetite must
be gratified.
We hope, that by," winnowing the wheat from
the chaff," by providing abundantly for the imagination,
and by a large collectioji of Biography,
Voyages and Travels, History, and more Bolid
matter, we may produce a work which shall be
popular, while at the same time it will aspire to
raise the standard of public, taste.
jXTJr"* Letters in commendation of the plan and
execution of the work front Judge Story, Chancellor
Kent, l)r. Bethune, ami MeBsrs. Jured
Sparks, W. II. Prescott, George Bancroft, and
George Ticknor, have been published in former
advertisements.
Postage.?When sent with a cover it iAfeanked
as a pamphlet, and costs 4J cents. Without the
cover it comes within the definition of a newspaper
given in the Jaw, and cannot legally be charged
with more than newspaper postage.
Monthly Parts.?For such as prefer it in that
form, the Living Age is put up in monthly parts,
containing four or five weekly numbers. In this
shape it shows to greut advantage in comparison
with other works, containing in each part double
the matter of any of the quarterlies. But we recommend
the weekly numbers as fresher and fuller
of life.
The volumes are published quarterly. Each of
them is equal to three ordinary octavos.
Orders should be addressed directly to the publishers!

United Slain in Congress assembled: The memorial
>f the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to County Land, under the act
of 28th of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the unlocated warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be;
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus grunted; that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
ihey could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant.
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
>y preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
hat the olHcers and volunteers entitled to bounty
ands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most inteligent
and respectable citizens of the States. They
herefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
nay be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
