THIRD ANNUAL. EXHIBITION
or the
Maryland State Agricultural Society.
APPEAL to tiie Members of the Maryland
State Agricultural Society.?Wedesire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
2tih, and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold 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 mar ine reiauve merits 01 any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive nt, 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 nonorably, and the high
character of the judges is a guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury of knowing that others were more enti
tied 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 their peculiar departments, as embroidery, household
manufactures, the products of the dairy and of
the poultry yard, preserves, domestic tcines, confections,
and, above all things, to come themselves, as
without woman, and the beautij'ut elaborations of her
taste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufiicturers of Agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri- <
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priely of making a grand'exhibition of your machinery
of all kinds, as from our present advices,
we arc led to believe that the assemblage of farmers
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 a matter of pride to display your machi- j
nery at our exhibition, and vie with-each other in i
having the best and largest assortment on the J
ground. Such ambition is laudable?is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the j
American heart.
?C|r* Editors with whom we exchange will con- !
fer a favor by copying this notice.

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIP I
COMPANY'? THROUG77 PJSS.1CE TO
CJiLlFOILW.l.
XHE public will be gratified to learn thai the
United States Mail Steamship Company areened
to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the Erst attempts of litis Company to meet
the wants of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
shuts 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 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 j
which, whatever might be the detention, they \
would reach Sail Francisco sooner than by any |
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva- <
lence of fever at Iiio de Janeiro at the lime, pre- <
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon i
as anticipated, and caused detention at the Istli- i
mill, which was increased by the impatience of I
I it imin* faritfunl. uniiul the ad vice I
ol' the Company, at an earlier day than the ship |
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed.
Thrte 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 Francisco,
will be performed with regularity and despatch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to Sun Francisco,
consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. Hudson.
ITHMUS, Capt. Hitchcock.
COLUMBUS, Capt. Peck.
ANTELOPE, Capt. Acki.et.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. Schknck, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. Harthtein, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefullly and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Punama,
will arise.

The publishers have expended a large sum of
money to get original drawings of machinery in
practical use in this country, and have procured ]
almost every work on the sudject, whether pnb-1
lished in England, France, or Germany, the most j
essential parts of which being comprised in this ,
Dictionary, render it as perfect and couiprehen- *
sive 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 {1
of words found in ordinary pages of the same size. |0
This basal^o secured to earn plate woiking-diaw- s
ngs of ample size and clearness, so that a Mechanic *
may construct accurately any machine described. .
The publishers are, in short determined, regard-1
less of cost, to make the work as complete as pos- ''
silrle ; and it is hoped every one desirous to obtain | {j
the work will procure it as issued in numbers, and
thus encourage the enterprise. I J.
The work will he issued in semi-monthly num-' t(
hers, commencing in January, 1850, and will pro- R
gress witu great regularity. ,

PREPARATORY NOTICE.
The enterprise in which we now embark, and
f which this paper is at once the commencement,
nd a sample of the papers that are to follow, has
or its aun no less a purpose, than to impart intruction,
in the generul and detail, to the Officers
nil Agents of the American public, in respect both
o their duties and their rights, and to make them,
nd the people ut large, acquainted with theorgantation,
decisions una action of the Executive detriments
of their Government. There has hith....
i..... c.....i .1? ?i
itu cmi no iciim ic iui tiir n-giiit&r una proper
ommuntcation of information of thin kind. The
ublication of the Laws and the issue of inslrucions,
more or leas comprehensive, and at intervals
lore or less extended, have proved wholly inadeuute,
in the absence of the construction of those
j?w?, as applied to particular cnses, and of detalla
nd illustrations to tnake the regulations and intructions
intelligible. The valuable documents
unually reported to Congress, are too voluminous,
nd are printed in quantities too small for general
ircuUtlion; whilst the debates in Cougresa and
lie commentaries of the press upon their proceedigs,
and the proceedings of the Executive branch
f the Government, besides turning mostly upon
eneral principles, address themselves only to
arty ends, and to matters of national policy,
'hese publications in their various forms are
ighly useful in themselves as far as they go, and
oine of them indispensable; but there is much
lint do not reach the hands of all, nor if they did,
o they furnish those rules, methods, and examles,
for the despatch of the public business which
an render the discharge of public duty either safe
r easy, whether in respect to the incumbent himelf,
or the department or bureau under which he
cts. We shall make an honest effort to supply
his vacuum, and to provide for these necessities,
f we succeed in rendering the functions of the
rimury offices more uniform, methodical, and cxct,
we shall make the administrative duties of the
epartments more easy and effective, and thereby
romote the real unci substantial interests of the
ountry. And this we expect to do, to some exent
at least?apnrt from, and independently of
ny party or personal interest or question wliatver.
It is known to most of those to whom this pa>er
will be sent, that the Senior Editor was Audior
of the Post-Office Department until the month
if November last; with by fur the larger portion
if both postmasters and contractors, he has hud
iirecl intercourse, in person or by letter. He enered
the department fourteen years since, and for
riany yeurs previously, had been, first in the War
department, ai d subsequently in the Treasury,
le has therefore had the best opportunities lor
inderitunding the arrangements of business in all
he departments, and being acquainted with those
vho carry it on. Since his official connection with
he Government ceased, he flatters himself he has
^reserved the respect and regard of most of the
nesent incumbents of the departments, and is on
(ecoming terms of intercourse and civility with
hem all. The Junior Editor has been asssiduously
rngaged for several years, in studying, by perlonal
inquiry and examination, the practical and
laily routine und details of the Post-Office and
itlier branches of the public business. It is with
his stock of experience, and these advantages for
eaehing the various sources of administrative anion,
and for imparting minute und illustrative inuruction,
and valuable periodical und statistical
formation, that we challenge your confidence
jnd solicit your support and patronage.
We have fixed upon the 15th of each month as
.he day for the publication of our paper, so as to
tflbrd time for obtaining from tfie departments,
ill the orders, notices nuuchaiiges issued, or made
)y them during the preceding month. Tables of
\>st Offices, and compilations of the Laws and
legulutions, are issued by the Post Office Departnent
only once in two or three years. It, is a
natter of inconvenience and compluint, for which
litherto there has been no remedy, that in one
norilh from the lime of these issues, there are of
ices in the tables which are no longer in ope alion,
iiid offices in operation which are not in the tables.
Vt this time there are perhaps over three thousand
.dices of the two descriptions. In like manner
aws have been passed and regulations established
lince the issue of the last volume of regulations,
if which many postmasters and others nre wholly
gnorant. We propose to prevent, for the present, i
ny increase of the evil of either kind, and from |
lie time another issue shall be made, our paper
vi11 furnish the additions, corrections, and niodifiations,
made in each month, and by being filed
ltd preserved, will afford to postmasters full and
xact information upon both subjects, up to and
or time being. How much of the present misdiection,
remailing, doubt, confusion, error, nnd
nipOHitiou, will be saved by the progressive state
if full and exact knowledge, for which we hnvp
irovided, and for which we engage, every intelli;ent
postmaster can estimate for himself.
These advantages alone and independently of all
thers, nre worth many times the price we charge
or the paper, and will, it is honed, induce every
ostmaster who feels a just pride in his ollice, or
i patriotic regard for the credit, prosperity, and
tficiency of the whole Post Office system?at once
o subscribe. The same considerations apply to
lie orders and notices, decisions, and instructions
f the War, Navy, Treasury, State/and Interior
lepartinents, and the same course is intended in
espect to them. Notices of the decisions of the
Supreme Court, in cases turning upon questions
f official duty or national interest, will find a place
11 this paper.
A department of our paper addressing itself not
nerely to postmasters and other officers of the
iovermnent, but toull other citizens who give atention
to the affairs of the nution and the progress
md development of the country, will embrace in a
ondensed form the matters submitted to, or nrisng
in Congress. At each session a vast deal of
aluable information is communicated to Confess,
by the several departments and their suborlinate
bureaus, and profound nnd comprehensive
eports are made by committees of both Houses.
Jut the great mass of the community know nothng
of the contents of these documents and retorts,
except the brief notices of them, which
rom time to time appear in the public papers
Die standing number printed of each document
nd report, is only twelve hundred in the Senate,
nd fourteen hundred in the House of llepresentuives,
which at once shows the impracticability of
heir dissemination. The Advertiser will conain
short abridgments or analysis of all these
locuments and reports, and the eompend will
herefore not only prove exceedingly useful and
nstructive in itself, but will furnish an easy index
o those interested, whenever it is found desirable
o obtain and examine the document at lurge.
rhere is a large field before us, the materials arc
inple. It will be our zeulous cure to collect and
rrange tliem in the proper form. We have every
onfidence that the subscriptions will be ample to
nable u* to accomplish it all. The information
ve propose to give, comprehending and confined
o trie action of the Government, is solid, useful,
nd (we might almost say) necessary to the offier?if
not to the citizen. It is intended for all,
nd put at a price which can constitute no obstacle
villi uny. Ifattheendof the year, any subscriber
hall find that he has not received the full value of
lis money, in intellectual enjoyment and in the |
ncreased light and aid afforded him, for the dis- j
harge of his official duties or in exercising by his
ote his just share in the conduct of our public afairs,
then shall we be ready to admit, that our j
topea and expectations have been disappointed,
ma that the contract on our part has failed.

Hvblishrd tvrry Saturday, at 12$ crnts a .Wtmber,

HY K. 1.ITTCI.1. It CO., BOKTOM,
THIS work in conducted in the spirit of Littell's
Museum of Foreign Literature, (which
wan favorably received by the public for twenty
years,) hut as it is twice an (urge, 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 a 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,
Quarterly, 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 Literature, History,
and common life, by the sagacious Spectator,
the sparkling Examiner, the judicious Athenaeum,
the busy und industrious Literary Gazette, the
sensible and comprehensive Britannia, 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, Eraser's,
Tail's, Ainsworib's, Hood's, and Sporting Magazines,
and of Chambers'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, make use of the thunder of The
Times. \Ve shall increase our variety by importations
from the continent of Europe, and from the
new growth of the British colonies.
The steamship has brought Europe, Asiu, and
Africa into our neighborhood, and will greatly
multiply riur connexions as merchants, travellers,
and pqbticians, with all parts of the world; so that,
much more than ever, it now becomes every intelligent
American to be informed of the conditions
and changes of foreign countries. And this liot
only because of their nearer connexion with ourselves,
but because the nations seem to be hastening
through u rapid process of change, to some
~t* .L: i '_i. .t._ i.. i:a: i
new Dime in iiiii^k, which uic mtrrciy jMiiiucai
prophet cunnot compute or foresee.
Geographical Discoveries, the progress of Colonization,
(which is extending over the whole
world,) and Voyages and Travels, will be favorite
matter for our selections; and, in general, we sIihII
systematically and very fully acquaint our readers
with the great department of foreign affairs, without
entirely neglecting our own.
While we aspire to make the Living Jtge desirable
to all who wish to keep thcinselves informed
a? Lite rapid progress of the movement?to stalesmen,
divines, lawyers, and physicians?to men of
business and men of leisure,?it is still a stronger
object to make it attractive to their wives and
children. We believe that we can thus do some
good in our day and generation, and hope to
make the work indispensable in every well-informed
family. We say indisitrnxable, because in
this day of cheap literature, it is not possible
to guard uguinsl the influx of what is bad in
tusle and vicious in morals, in uuy other way than
by furnisliiiig a sufficient supply of a heullhy
character. The mental and moral appetite must
be gratified.
We hope, that by " winnowing the wlieut from
tli e chuff," by providing abundantly for the imagination,
and by a lurge collection of Biogruphy,
Voyages and Travels, History, and more solid
mutter, we may produce n work which shall be
popular, while at the same time it will aspire to
raise the standard of public taste.
03" Getters in commendation of the plan and
execution of the work from Judge Story, Chancellor
Kent, Dr. Cethune, and Messrs. J
Sparks, W. II. Preacoll, George Bancroft, and
George Tic.knor, have been published in former
advertisements.
Portage..?WhenHent with a cover it is ranked
as n pamphlet, and costs cents. Without the
cover it comes within the definition of a newspaper
given in the law, and cannot legally be charged
witli 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 great advantage in comparison
with other works, containing in each part double
iiit' inauer 01 any 01 me quarterlies. uui we recommend

them is equul to thkee ordinary octavos.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMER'S GUIDE.
Leonard scott & Co.,jw54 GoUti*,/,
avto York, continue to publish the four leading
British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood's
Magazine; in addition to which they have recently
commenced the publication of a valuable Agricultural
work, called the
" Farmer's Guide to Scientific and Practical
Agriculture,"
By Hk.vrl Stephens, F. R. S., of Edinburgh, author
of th^'Book of the Farm," <3cc.; assisted
by Jotis P. Norton, M.A., New Haven,Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c., &< .
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octavo volumes, containing over 1,41MJ
pages, with 18 or 110 splendid steel engravings,
and more tliun GOO engravings ow wood, in the
highest style of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods of ploughing, plunting,
haying, harvesting, &c.,&c., the various domestic
animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it of incalculable value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being pubbshed in semi-monthly
numbers of G4 pages each, exclusive of the Steel
engravings, and is sold at 25 cents each, or $5 for
the entire work in numbers, of which there will be
ut least twenty-two.
The British Periodicals re-published are as follows,
viz :
Tiik London (Quarterly Review (Conservative),
The Edinburgh Review (Whig),
Tiie North British Review (Free Church),
The Westminster Review (Liberal.)
and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion of their contents is devoted to political subjects.
It is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals oftheir class.
Blackwood, still under the masterly guidance of
Christopher Jh'orih, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
seriul works of Bui wer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
Medal," "The Green Hand," and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o11
lack wood, after it has been issued by Messrs. ScotCo.,
so that subscribers to the reprint of that

To the Senate and House of Reprasentatites of the
United Slates t? t'mgress assembled: The memorial
of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 128th of September, 185d, tkat they are informed
"?'l ll??f tliA unlArjilMl warrants are Worth
more to them than the patented lauds would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus grunted; that if patented to them, the
expense pf agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reduteing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell thfc warrant.
Your memorialists further represent that tire law,
by Preventing the sale of 'he warrants, assure u
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intelligent
and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants Tot
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
