FOR CALIFORNIA no!

+ North Carolina Company of one hundred persons
is being formed IN this City, for gathering gold and
perhaps for settlement IN the fine climate and unsuFpass
ed advantages of CaIifornia-upon the following plan
The Company to be composed of sober, moral and res
pectable citizens each member pays hundred dollars
into the common fund by the first of March, and to be
ready embark at Wilmington about the middle of that
month"; upon the voyage around the cape. With said
fund purchase and fit good vessel with stores and pro-
for the voyage including three months extra pro-
visions and shuek mattresses, bedding and gold mining
and washing tools and implements, for each member
Every member to procure and carry his or her own
clothes, sufficient for twelve months wear 80.
Any member, besides carrying his tools Of trade
will be permitted carry his wife and Children by pay
ing the above for each carried and respecta
bic single ladies will be admitted into the Company
the terms Separate accommodations will be alot
ted to the feaes and every attention given for their
security and comfort during the voyage and afterwards
by their male escorts And far scarcer and
in much greater demand than gold, in California, few
of the hearted and lovely girls and widows of the
old North State, would assuredy find the enterprise
princely speculatonin Immediately getting rich hus-
bands in that fine country. s'.
late writer from California says The persons most
needed here are wives sempstresses housekeepers mil
liners, taors carpenters blacksmihs masons, shoemak
and tnners-a of whom would receive here the most
gratifying remuneration. mechanic hardly be had
for twenty-five dollars per day, abourer for
one hundred and fifty per day, cook for
hundred and fifty dollars per MONTH. Large fortunes
therefore certainly await the prudent who go there
Wives stand at the head of the list of those wanted
Just think OF that! why the quick sales OF the ship
loads of English for tobacco, in Virginia. in the
olden times, would be fool to the active matrimonial
market of California. Our Carolina girls and widows
old and young, ugly and pretty, would go off like hot
cakenot for husbands and tobacco but for husbands
and gold! Think of that and be ye glad.
On reaching California sell the vessel and divide the
sales among the Company, whichwould than repay
each member the 5000 paid into the fund.- aforesaid
besides passage and extra provisions, free of expense
And while every member will be bound to- stand by,
assist and defend each other all will be left free work
upon his own hook, in California. And although thou
sands rushing there, there will be enough for
a and enough for each since it is known that the gold
deposits extend space of thousand miles long,
by hundreds of miles in width and sorch that 500 900
in gold lately taken out of place Of three hun
dred yards square!
But should hundred persons be enrolled by the
1st of March, then the voyage will be given up, and
the Company, then formed take the overland journey,
from this City early in April and have the pleasant
and plentiful months in which to make the trip Sua-
BILE covered wagons and harness. and two strong work
horses for each wagon and the bedding aforesaid and
the mining implements to be purchased by the fund and
provision needed by the way. Each member carrying
his own clothing and and ammunition aforesaid
and the light tools of his trade -Four persons each
waggonthe ladies have separate wagons and every
care and attention. Thus in four months, the Company
might by easy stages reach their destination, then sell
the horses and keep the Wagons asmoveabe houses for
themselves at the mines.
Application for admission into the Company, to be
made for the present, to personally by letter,
postpaid. JOSEPH B. HINTON,
