IEOperul phase Of The Go,d Mania.

The Chicago Tribune says: 1t is not
gold.seekers and merely merccnarv advcn-
turcrs alone who are flocking to California.
Many a noble-souled man and woman, in
spired by the highest sense of duty and
desire TO benefit their fellow creatures, are
going among the rest, because they think
they see there a larger field of usefulness,
from the very fact that majority of the null
titudes who are seeking the land of promise
will be so little guided by prudence and
reason as TO stand peculiarly in need of their
services. The following paragraph from
the New DIRK Tribune presents an instance
OF high-souled conservation to a generous
purpose which is rare in this OF any other
age. We presume the lady referred to is
Miss Dix, the Ell known phIanthropist:
A New CALIFORNIA ExPEDIrIoN.-A
lady of this State, well known for her Iabors
IN many phIIanthropic cause, is about
forming benevolent expedition to CallJr-
ma, which cannot but prove of great public
benefit, IN the present unsettled condition of
that region. Aided by several gentlemen
OF wealth and lberaIty, she proposes TO
purchase vessel, to be lreighlcd with eve
ry article necessary for the aid and assist
ance of the sick or disabled, including the
frame of 4 building intended for hospital.
She is now engaged in raising Il mpanv
of intelligent and respectable females, 10

each of whom shall contribute something
toward the purchase of the vessel and cargo,
and assist in the humane object of the en-
terprlse. None will be taken who ha se not
attained the age of twenty-five wears. and
cannot also produce sufficient testimonials
OF character. A part of the freight is to
consist of articles 10 furnish store, in which
part OF the women may be EMPLOYED, and
in material for clothing, to be made up ac-
cording to orders on the spot
"This plan, the great utility of which
will be seen at glance. may be ranked
among the most truly Christian enterprises
of the day. OF the thousands of inexperi-
en'ed emigyants now on their way to the
land of promise, large numbers must feel
severely the ,hardships and privations of
their new mode of life, and their situation,
without the aid thus furnished, must be in
deed deplorable. We trust the originator
of this expedition may meet with abundant
support. There are certainly enough Of
enterprising and benevolent women in this |
part of the country TO second her in the |
work"

TnE RoUTE TO CALIFoHNIA VIA MEXIco-
The Mexican Minister at Washington, in answer to
numerous inquiries, as TO the best route to Calloro
MIA through Mexico, and also to whether the au-
thoritie2 of that country will permit emgrants to
traverse their territory unmoesed, replies through
the National lnteligencer, that ii is usual to per
nit all peaceful travellers to pass with arms
sary for their defence, provided they have passports
but that the Mexican government, in anticipation
of the tlocking of mutitudes to the gold region,
will take means to prevent their going in large
bodies through the country and that they certainly
will not be allowed to assume military organza-
ton.
With regard to the best route, the minister says:
-" In my opinion, the most advantageous route
that emigrants can take is from Vera Cruz to the
city OF Mexico through the States of Vera Cruz
and Puebla; then through the federal district (the
State of Mexico,) and the States of Queretaro, o!
Guanajudto, and of Jalsco TO Guadaajara the CAPT

Incorporation into any act providing for the organi-
cation OF the same into territories clause prohibI-
