CALIFORNIA INFORMATION.

There is much inquiry at the present time
for information about the overland route to
California, and this inquiry will be partially
met by the articles below. The first IS an
extract from the letter Of James Wasley, to
bis brother at Mineral Point, (the samefrom
which we extracted a few days ago,) and
the second from Mr.. Thomas Crosby tho
talks like one who knows. 1.-THE emisfants
this year, will profit by the experierfe OF
the past, we have no doubt, much sufftrilg
may lie avoided.-[Gaena Gaz.

a team is best for the trip, but have seen
enough to give pretty correct estimate. ]
think that with an ordinary migration, OK
en- would perhaps thrive. All the trouble
there would be with them, would be their
getting foot-sore. This Is very dangerous
country to pass through with cattle, or. ac-
count Of their being so many alkali spsings
and lakes. The water and grass in ouch
places are dangerous to cattle. Theret are
vast numbers of dead carcases alonsj the
road. suppose that for a great whiies the
number would average no less than twsnty
FIVE for each days drive of fifteen miles; If
the weather had been hot and suI,ry. we
should have had to leave the road, and irav-
el at a distance from it. We saw in one
place eight oxen, all dead in the same place.
A man had driven his team Of four Soke
down into an alkali pool to drink, and after
drinking, they died all together. | 4ave
seen acres Of ground covered with salerj jtus.
We got some from a lake, in chunkf as
large as a mans fist, and used it in aging
bread. IL is very good salera.us. ANY. one
bringing oxen, should bring along plenty of
sole leather, for shoes for them v hen ;hey
get lame. | think il is better than ron
shoes. When they get tender footed, We
put moccasins on them, made from buffalo
hide. We have seen a few dead mules, ,,and
horses, but nothing to be compared o;the
number Of oxen. We have seen a grea,
many mules though, that were worn ou.
and left behind, and good many more that
ought to be left. believe mules would
stand the trip very well, If they would take
the same care Of them that we do Of ouI
oxen, and not load them too heavy. The
trouble is, they load TOO heavy, and they
get poor and dishearened. And " hen they
s.pack" then they have them rubbed all to
pieces with the straps, and drive them long
days, without sufficient feed. When a mul.
gets discouraged be is good for nothing. -
Horses would not think Of bringing, Jun
less they were Of the right kind. 1ihe,
must be French Ponies, that can livet OF
brush, or even sharings ifit becomes nefes

GESTLEMEN's DREss-A lady writes
to the Zodiac:-Can't something be done
to improve the dress Of gentlemen: 1t
makes one sick to compare the graceful
garments in which the Marshal de Rich
elieu and the contemporary men Of fash
ion are represented, with these ffightful
things Of our day. The former are all
splendid, with elegant ornaments and
gay colors, and the latter are prirn, for
NAL, "sad-colored," and generally ugly.
can nothing be done to rescue our broth
ers, lovers, and husbands from this con-
dition' But above all things these hor-
rid "dress-coats," as they call them
By what strange perversity Of fashion
has it been decreed that the very worst
Of all these habiliments should alone be
admitted into the drawing-room and the
opera-box: The frock-coat and the pal
etot have either Of them their prefensions
to ease Of figure; but that execrabIe
thing, with its grotesque termination, is
the only dress-coat! 1t is bad enough
to walk with it. but to dance with it is
intoIerable. Isee a great deal said in
the newspapers, rather coarsely, about
our ambition to usurp some part Of tho
male attire. But will assure these fun
ny gentlemen that no woman Of taste
will ever don such ugly things as they
now wear.

NoRLE ACT OF GIRL.-The Balti.
more Clipper states that few evenings
since, Just after dark, a young female
residing on the road near Sykesvilic,
observed that the rain had caused a
part Of the embankment to give way, and
entirely cover up the railroad track.
Knowing that the train of cars ouId
pass along in short time, she hastily
and alone procured light and set to
work to remove the obstruction. In a
few minutes, however, she heard the
train approaching at fearful rate, end
abandoning her humane effort to clear
the track, she took her STATEN in the
middle Of the road. and by waving the
light to and fro, succeeded in attracting
the attention Of the engineer. IN few
minutes more, had it not been for the
great presence Of mind, courage and
ihoughtfulness cf this young girl, the
whole train might have been dashed to
pieces. Her noble conduct il .deserr-

"upvers said nufin." On the Sth, we re-
mainedS IN camp, having hereafter one reg,
ular morning and evening gun fired. Pembi-
ma river has fallen feet since we crossed it.
The 9th was a rainy, dismal day. Fine
again ou the 10Th, the river still falling;
plenty Of fresh beef at $500 per hundred;
pleniyeof wild ducks. pigeons, catfish and
other quadrapeds. The IIth raining and
wet and heavy rain iu the night with a
few touches Of thunder. The morning Of
the l2th cloudy, the camp perfect mud
hole, horses turned out to feed and caught
up and tied at night to the picket line. The
singing and the drum of the Indians, a
band Of ChiPpewas returning from fight,
with six Sioux scalps, assist the musqitoes
in making night hideous. The 18th was a
fne day. 4On the 14th we planted q post
f%f1e idiies from Pembina, to mark our
boundary line with Great Britain, which
bears date August IA, 1S49. John, if you
even dare!- no mat,er-you know
enough to keep your own side of the hedge;
don't he, Uncle! On the 18th our guide
returned from Selkirk with provisions, ex-
cept flour, which was not to be bad, there
being 10 wind to turn their -four mills,
which, like our 9TH Of July orators and Con-
gress men, go by wind, il seems.
On the 10th, the weather being fine we
sent down the river again TO get flour, if to
he had, any how. The 18th was a warm
breezy day; but that night it rained and the
thunder was No. /; SO we kept qniet on the
18th, experiencing the same showery kind
Of weather through the 10Th, Goth, aud 2lst
of August. On the 22d more half-breed
Indians arrived from the buffalo plains with
their winters meat. The 23d was fine
day, on which the Chippewas at Pembina
held an election for Chief, but adjourned to
the 24th, when they chose Chief and two
sub-Chiefs. The Half-breeds held Coun-
Gil and were advised by Maj. Woods to or
ganize and elect their rulers, before we left
and not to interfere in any way with the
Indians. Our teams were to-day all cross
ed over The Pe,nbina river. On the 25th.
we remained quiet in camp. On the Goth,
Capt. Pope wishing to survey Red river &c.
with Lieut.. Gardiner and the 1st Serg. oc
Dragons, left Pembina in canoe 81 feet
long, manned by Is half-breeds and made
Fort Gaines, about 1900 miles by water, in
% days. On the Goth Of August, we left
Pembiaa on our way back again made 8
miles of our course through mud. We found
some buffalo in our way back: but nothing
of particular interest occurred, until we
reached Sauk Rapids and encamped on the
bank of thu Mississippi river, on the l4Ih
day Of September. Did we do that expedi-
tion up about right, Uncle:
