MICHIGAN.
We mentioned few days since, the anticipated
project OF some OF the gold hunters In this city, of
forming a stock company, purchasing vessel and
cargo, and sailing from some eastern city, for San
Francisco. Wshave since learned that the project
is tavorably regarded among the adventures, aud
already about $500 of the stock has been sub
scrbed for, and gentleman will leave IN few
days for the east, to make arrangements for pur-
chasing vessel of about $50 tons burhen, intend
ed for the expedition. 1t Is thought that the re-
quslte amount, $50, 900, will be readystaken before
his arrival at the east. The command of the YES
sci will be take by an officer in the U. s. Navy,
a resident OF our city. Among the persons who
will acc empauy the expedition, are two physicians
and gentleman who has spent considerable time
in the valley OF the Sacramento and along the coast

many excellent fellows IN that crowd. May good
fortune attend them all, and may they return in
due time, with pockets brlm full OF the "rocks."
Another company leaves this place on the first of

CORPUS CHRISTI Route. The Mazatlan Rangers
had decided while IN New Orleans to take the
Overland route to Mazatlan, passing by the way of
Monterey. Salhllo, Parras and Durango. On their
ARRIVAL at Corpus Christ! they were induced, by a
more thorough investigation, to change their
course for more direct route to San Diego, and
Thlswas the most judicous decision on their
part, ss the road from this place CORPUS ChristD
TO San Diego is as fully asceralned as the one to
Mazatlan, and materially shortens the line of
travel
Corpus Christi lies IN the parallel of % deg
Mazatlan 23 deg, San. Diego 81 deg, and San
Francisco in 30 deg. north latitude. You will per-
ceive that a line to Mazatlan-from this point
tiverges at a little less than right angle from
Inc TO San Francisco, and gains on the distance
o San Francisco only $50 miles, while the route up
he valley oil the Neuces and the Rio Grande to San
Francisco, by wav OF Ell Paso and San Diego, has
IN advantage OF 10 miles over the route by way
II Mazatan That this Is the shortest route to
none doubt who will carefully OBJ
serve the ascertained lne az fully authenticated
~ actual surveys and reports made by scientific
men. Gen. kearny moved down the Rio Grande
o the River Gila-that being the only route practi-
liable from Santa Fe to the Pacific coast The
Sierra Nevada, on the west, opposed Its rugged
aeeps, deep gorges and snow.crowned SUBMITS,
and denied passage.
The bleak plains furnished neither susten nance
Tor shelter Tor man or beast, and only by follow
ng the warm valley of the Rio Grande could a |
assage be had to California. hazard nothing in |
ne assertion that the route from Corpus Christi to
california Is the shortest and cheapest, and con-
equently by tar the most practicable.
