substitution OF new men. The Dorothy left here
last night with her usual cargo. Two weeks

sufficiently supplied with money to enable them
to undertake the overland journey to the new
Eldorado O. and II is believed that they have de-
parted for brunswick. where they can ship In
such a way as TO bring them somewhere near
their destination.
They left a very sanguinc note for their Cap

might expect their return with enough gold TO
