APPEAL to the Members of 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 : anil 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 merit9 of any thing can be determined. The safer presumption for you to arrive at, will be that what you have is as good, if not belter than that of outers, 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 ended 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 wives 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 wines, confrctions, and, above all things, to come themselves, as without woman, and the beautful elaborations of her taste and genius, no display can be perfect. To the Manufacturers of .Agricultural Implements and 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 kindR, as from our present advices, we are led to believe that the assemblage of larmers and planters, and of distinguished strangers from most ol the States of the Union, will be greater thun upon unv 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 machinery at our exhibition, and vie with each other in having the best and largest assortment on the ground. Such ambition is laudable?is worthy of American genius, und should be cherished by the American heart. Editors with whom we exchange will confer a favor by copying this notice.

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP COMPANY?THROUGH P.1SSJIGE TO C.iLlFORJs'U. fpHE public will be gratified to learn that the I United States Mail Steamship Company areenabled 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 prevailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great number then desirous to go out, to sell tickets for through passuges from Panama in advance, for their ships then going round. This was done front a desire to accommodate those who could procure passuges in no 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 prevalence of fever at Ilio de Janeiro at the time, prevented their ships from reaching Panama ns soon as anticipated, and caused detention ut the Isthmus, which was increased by the impatience of [lasseiigers in going forward, against the advice of the Company, at an earltei 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 arc now able to give the public the assurance that the voyage through from New York to San Francisco, will he performed with regularity and despatch. Their Pacific Line, front Panama to San Francisco, consists of the REPUBLIC, Copt. Hudsok. 1THMUS, Capt. Hitchcock. COLUMBUS, Capt. Peck. a vTui nr>c r??i ttiW^V.UlV.r. ..v.

The connection between the two lines will be cnrefullly and regularly kept up, so that no delay beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Puna-, nut, will arise. The large size, well known speed, and superior accommodations of their New York und Chagres Line, and the speed and accommodations of the ships of their Pacific Line, oiler the most certain, rapid,and pleasant through passage to California.

The enterprise in which we now embark, and f wlltch thin pnppr is ut once the commencement, / ml a sample of the papers that are to follow, has pj >r its aim no less a purpose, than to impart in [.ruction, in the general and detail, l<> the Officers (|. nd Agents of the American public, in respect both st j their duties and their rights, and to make them, js nd the people at large, uequsintedwith the organ- ()j '.ation, decisions and action of the Executive ileartments of their Government. There has hithrto Leen no vehicle for the regular und proper f ouimunication of information of this kind. The i ublication of the Lnws and the issue of instruc- E mis, more or less comprehensive, and at intervals !rl lore or less extended, have proved wholly inade- vv uate, in the absence of the construction of those J, ,aws, us applied to particular cases, and of detnils ! nd illustrations to make the regulations and in- jG tructions intelligible. The valuable documents 1 nnually reported to Congress,are too voluminous, nd are printed in quantities too small for general irculation; whilst the debates in Congress and he commentaries of the press upon their proceedngs, and the proceedings of the Executive branch if the Government, besides turning mostly upon T ;enerul principles, address themselves only to mrty ends, und to mutters of national policy, si rhese publications in their various forms ure a lighly useful in themselves as far as they go, and s iome of them indispensable-, hut there is much n hat do not reuch the hands of all, nor if they did, a lo they furnish those ruleH, methods, and exaniiles, for the despatch of the public business which It ;an render the discharge of public duty either safe g ?r easy, whether in respect to theincumbent him- n lelf, or the department or bureau under which he lets. We shall make an honest effort to supply is his vacuum, and to provide for these necessities. If we succeed in rendering the functions of the irimury offices more uniform, methodical, and exlcl, ue shall make the administrative duties of the lepartinerits more easy and effective, and thereby nomote the real and substantial interests of the ountry. And this we expect to do, to some exant at least?apart fVom, and independently of my party or personal interest or question whatever. It is known to most of those to whom this pa- ' per will be sent, that the Senior Editor was Audi- r tor of the Post-Office Department until the month ' of November last; with by fur the lurger portion of both postmasters and contractors, he has had direct intercourse, in person or by letter. He en- , tered the department Fourteen years since, and for many years previously, had been, first in the War Department, and subsequently in the Treasury, i lie has therefore had the best opportunities for understanding the arrangements or business in all , the departments, and being acquainted with those , who carry it on. Hinrehis official connection with the Government ceased, he Hatters himself he has | preserved the respect and regard of most of the present incumbents of the departments, and is on becoming terms of intercourse und civility with them all. The Junior Editor has been uassiduously engaged for several years, in studying, by personal inquiry and examination, the practical and daily 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 notion, and for imparting minute and illustrative instruction, and valuable periodical anil statistical information, that we challenge your confidence Hnd solicit your support and patronage. We have fixed upon the 15th of each month ns the day for the publication of our paper, so as to uflfiird time for obtaining from the departments, nil the orders, notires and changes issued, or made by them during the preceding month. Tables of Post Offices, and compilations of the Laws and Regulations, are issued by the Post Office Depart-ment only once in two or three years. It is a matter of inconvenience and complaint, for which hitherto there lias been no remedy, that in one month from the time of these issues, there are of fir.es in the tables which are no longer in ope ntion, and offices in operation which are 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 lust volume of regulations, of which many postmasters and others ore wholly ignorant. We propose to prevent, for the present, any increase of the evil of either kind, and from the time another issue shall be made, our paper will furnish the Additions, corrections, and modifications, made in each month, nnd 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 state of full and exact knowledge, for which we have provided, and for which we engage, every intelligent postmaster can estimate for himself. These advantages alone and independently of all others, are worth many times the [n ice we charge for the paper, and will, it is hoped, induce every postmaster who feels a jiiHt 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, Stale, and Interior departments, and the same course is intended in respect to them. Notices of the decisions of the Supreme Court, in enses turning-upon questions of official duty or national interest, will find a place in this cape-. A department of our paper addressing itself not merely to postmasters and other officers of the Cniwnmciil but to nil other rilirens who irive el. I terilion to the affairs of the nation and the progress and devolopment of the t? untry, will embrace inn condensed form the matters submitted to, or arising in Congress. At each session h vast deal of valuable information is communicated to Congress, by the several departments and their subordinate bureaus, and profound and comprehensive reports are made by committees of both Houses, j Hut the great mass of the community know nothing of tne contents of these documents and reports, except the brief notices of them, which from time to time appear in the public papers The standing number printed of each document nnd report, is only twelve hundred in the Senate. j and fourteen hundred in the House of Representatives, which at once shows the impracticability of l their dissemination. The Advertiser will con-: j tain short abridgments or analysis of all these documents and reports, and the compend will j 1 therefore not only prove exceedingly useful and instructive in itself, but will furnish an easy index to those interested, whenever it is found desirable lo obtain and examine the document at large, i ' i'here is a large field before us, the materials urn I mnple. It will be our zealous care to collect hiuI arrange them in the proper form. We have every confidence that the subscriptions will be ample to enable us to accomplish it all. The information , we propose to give, comprehending and confined r lo the action of the Government, is solid, useful, f ind (we might almost say) ncoessary to the ofli- ( or?if not to the citizen. It is intended for all, ind put at a price which can coiistituir no obstacle with any. If at the end of the year, any subscriber diall find that he has not received the full value of ? lis money, in intellectual enjoyment and in the | ncreaaed light and aid Afforded him, for the die harge of his official duties or in exercising by Ins [ rote his just share in tiie conductor our public af'airs, then shall we he ready to admit, that our ' upea and expectations have been disappointed, ind that tho contract on our part has failed. n P.
