THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION
ok the
Maryland State Agricultural Society.
APPEAL to the Members ok the Maryland
State Agricultural Society.?We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
24th, 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 that the relative merits ot any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for 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 no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury of knowing that others were more entled
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
1rives and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, household
manufacturer., the products of the dairy and of
the poultry yard, preseives, domestic wines, confections,
and, above all things, to come themselves, tu
without woman, and the bcaut'ful elaborations of her
taste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers of Agricultural Implements
ami Tools, we would say, that interest and patriotism
both combine to enjoin upon you the propriety
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 farmers
and planters, and of distinguished strangere
from most ot the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here 01
elsewhere. We therefore say to the Agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics of the United States,
make it a matter of pride to display your machinery
at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
huvnig the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudable?is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

a favor by copying this notice.
WILLIAM TUCKER, Merchant Taii.or,
(of the late firm of Lane & Tucker,) would

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COM PAN V? THR OVGH PJIS8JIQE TO
C.1UFOJLYU. H
THE public will be gratified to learn that the
I United Stalea Mail Steamship Company areen- j
bled to announce that their arrangement* are now
complete for sending passenger* through from
New York to San Francisco and back. I
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 prevailed
upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desirous to go out, to sell ticket* 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 passage* in no other quarter, and by P
which, whatever mi^ht be the detention, they v
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any p
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva- d
lence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre- c
vented their shipu froin reaching Panama as soon 3
as anticipated, and caused detention at the lath- a
nius, which was increased by the impatience of li
passengers in going forwurd, against the advice fa
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship* I
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 Sun
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 San Francisco,
consists of the
REPUBLIC, Cant. Him.ov.
1THMUS, Capt. Hitchcock.
COLUMBUS, Capt. Peck.
ANTELOPE, Capt. Acki.et.
Tti?ip Aliunde and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. Schkn'ck, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. Hartstkin, 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 large size, well known sneed, and superior
accommodations of their New York und 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.

PREPARATORY NOTICE.
Tlie enterprise in which we now (embark, and
yf which this paper is at once the commencement,
?nd 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
und 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 ana action of the Executive departments
of their Government. There has hitherto
leen no vehicle for the regular and proper
SittMmn.iioaiinii nT mfnrmuf lAli nt' lilts* l/iiwi 1 its*
publication of the Laws and the issue of instructions,
more or leas comprehensive, and at intervals
more or less extended, have proved wholly inadequate,
in the absence of the construction of those |
Laws, as applied to particular cases, and of detuils |
and illustrations to make the regulations and instructions
intelligible. The valuable documents
annually reported to Congress.are too voluminous,
and are printed in quantities too small for general
circulation; whilst the debates in Congress and
the commentaries of the press upon their proceedings,
and the proceedings of the Executive branch
of the Government, besides turning mostly upon
general principles, address themselves only to
narty ends, and to mutters of national policy.
These publications in their various forms are
highly useful in themselves as far us they go, and
some of ihsin indispensable; but there is much
that do not reach the hand* of all, nor if they did,
do they furnish those rules, methods, and exam- '
pies, for the despatch of the public business which
can render the dischai e of public duty either safe
or easy, whether in respect to the incumbent himself,
or the de|>artinent or bureau under which he
acts. We ahull make ail honest effort to supply
this vacuum, and to provide for these necessities.
If we succeed in rendering the functions of the
primary offices more uniform, methodical, and exact,
we shall make the administrative duties of the
departments 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
anv party or personal interest or question what
ever.
It is known to most of those to whom this paper
will be sent, thut (lie Senior Editor was Auditor
of the Post-Office Department until the month
of November last; witli by far the larger portion
of both postmasters and contractors, lie lias hud
direct intercourse, in person or by letter. He entered
the department fourteen years since, and for
many years previously, had been, fir6tin the War
Department, and subsequently in the Treasury.
He has therefore had the best opportunities for
undemtanding the arrangements of business in all
the departments, and being acquainted with those
who curry it on. Since his official connection with
] the Government ceased, he flatters himself he has
I preserved the respect and regard of most of the
[ present incumbents of the departments, and is on
becoming terms of intercourse and civility with
them all. The Junior Editor has been nsssiduously
engaged for several years, in studying, by personaf
inquiry and examination, the practical and
daily routine and details of the Post-Office and
| otiier branches of the public business. It is witli
! this stock of experience, and these ail vantages for
' reaching the various sources of administrative acj
lion, and for imparling minute and illustrative 111I
struction, and valuable periodical and statistical
information, that we challenge your confidence
and solicit your support and patronage.
We have fixed upon the 15th of each-month as
the day for the publication of our paper, so as to
afford time for obtaining from the departments,
all the orders, notices andchanges issued, or made
by tliem during the preceding ipontli. Tables ot'
Post Offices, and compilations of the Laws and
Regulations, are issued by the Post Office Department
only once in two or three years. It is a
matter of inconvenience ana compluint, for which
hitherto there has been no remedy, that in one
month from the time of these issues, there are offices
in the tables which are no longer in ope ution,
and offices in operation which nre not in the tables.
At this time there are perhaps over three thousand
offices of the two descriptions. In like manner
laws have been passed and regulations established
since the issue of the Inst volume of regulations,
of which many postmasters and others ure wholly
ignorant. We propose to prevent, for the present,
any increase or the evil of either kind, and from
ihe time another issue shall be made, our paper
will furnish the additions, corrections, And modifications,
made in each month, and by being filed
and preserved, will afford to postmasters full and
exact information upon both subjects, up to and
for time being. How much of the present misdirection,
remailing, doubt, confusion, error, and
imposition, will be saved by the progressive stute
of full and exact knowledge, for which we have
provided, and for which we engage, every intelligent
postmaster can estiniute for himself.
These advantages alone and independently of all
others, are worth many times the price we charge
I for the paper, and will, it is hoped, induce every
postmaster who feelN n just pride in his office, or
|a patriotic regard for the credit, prosperity, and
efficiency of the whole Post Office system?at once
to subscribe. The same considerations apply to
the orders and notices, decisions, and instructions
of the War, Navy, Treasury, State, and Interior
departments, and the saipe course is intended in
respect to th?m. Notices of the decisions of the
Supreme Court, in cases turning upon questions
of official duty or national interest, will find a place
I in this paper.
A department of our paper addressing itself not
merely to postmasters and other officers of (lie
Government, but to all other citizens who give attention
to the affairs of the nation and the progress
and devolopment of the c? untry, will embrace in a
condensed form the matters submitted to, or arising
in Congress. At each session a vast deal of
vuluuble information is communicated to ConSress,
by the several departments and their suborinate
bureaus, and profound and comprehensive
reports nre made by committees of both Houses.
But the great mass of the community know nothing
of tiie contents of these documents and reports,
except the brief notices of them, which
frnm time to time anoenr ill the nublic naners
The standing number printed of each document
and report, is only twelve hundred in the Senate,
and fourteen hundred in the House of Representatives,
which at once shows the impracticability of
their dissemination. The AnvraTitca "will contain
short abridgments or analysis of all these
documents and reports, and the compend will
therefore not only prove exceedingly useful and
instructive in itself, but will furnish an easy index
to those interested, whenever it is found desirable
to obtain and examine the document at large.
There is a large field before us, the materials ure
ample. It will be our zealous care to collect and
arrange them in the proper form. We have every
confidence that the subscriptions will be ample to
enable u? to accomplish it all. The information
we propose to give, comprehending and confined
to tne action of the Government, is solid, useful,
and (we might almost say) necessary to the officer?if
not to the citizen. It is intended for all,
and put at a price which can constitute no obstacle
with any. Ifattheendof the year, any subscriber
shall find that he has not received the full value of
his money, in intellectual enjoyment and in the
increased light and aid afforded him, for the discharge
of his official duties or in exercising by his
vote his just share in the conduct of our public affairs,
then shall we be ready to admit, that our
hopes and expectations have been disappointed,
and that the contract on our part has failed.

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 Practicai.
agriculture,"
By Hknrv Seei-iiens, F. R. 8., of Edinburgh, author
of the "Hook of the Farm," dec.., &c.j assisted
by John P. Norton, M.A., New Haven,Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, dec., Ac.
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octavo volumes, containing over 1,400
pages, with 18 or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 000 engravings on wood, in the
highest style of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in URe by the bent
farmers, the best methods of ploughing, planting,
haying, harvesting, dec.,&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 published in semi-monthly
numbers of 04 pages each, exclusive of the Steel
engravings, and is sold at 2.r> cents each, or $5 for
the entire work in numbers, of which there will be
at least twenty-two.
The British Periodicals re-published are as follows,
viz :
The London Quarterly Review (Conservative),
The Edinburgh Review (Whig),
The 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 u 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 of their class.
lllackwood, still under the masterly guidance of
Christopher Ji'orth, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
StateB. Such works as "The Caxlons" 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
lending publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages oliluckwood,
after it has bern issued by .Messrs. Scotso
that subscribers to the reprint ofthut
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.

MEMORIAL.
'/'? the Senate and Home of Representatives of the
United States in Cengrtss assembled: The memorial
of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 28th of September, 1850, that they are infbrnied
and believe that the unlocatgd warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reaide on the
land thus grauted; that if putented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an anuuat
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoia if permitted to sell the warrant.
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assure
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, arc not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the moat intelligent
and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, 3lc.
