Edgefield Advertiser

FOR CALIFORNIA. We understand a party of young gentlemen, of enterprising energy and character, are to leave our city this day, for California. Their route will be to proceed from this city to New Orleans by Rail Road from thence to Port Lavacca, in Texas, by steamer—then to San Antonio de Bexar by stage. Here they will obtain mules to convey them first to Chihuahua, and from there to San Francisco. The names of those who leave are, as we learn, John S. Cripps, S. F. Edgerton, John R. Mott, Alexander Mimms, Wm. H. Wagner, J. Ford Prioleau, M. D., James N. Edmondson, of this city, and E. Guesdorff, of Germany. We are informed that five or six others will start either to-morrow or the next day, to meet and join the above named party in New Orleans, where they will associate themselves with them.—Charleston Courier.
