A WILD WoMAN.-We know not but our reputa-

two years to give it, we think there is no use o.
waiting any longer. II will require some credull

Pectable citizens of our neighboring county of
Jackson For the last ten years there has lived and
inhabited the thickets of the Navidad bottoms IN
Jackson county, an animal universally believed to
be woman, and though diligent search has fire.

able to see It; though on one occasion, several
years ago, party driving cows through the bot
tom, came SO close upon Its camp or den, as to
compel 1t to drop kind Of basket or trunk, which
upon examination, was found to be perfect Gu

unknown, and all OF the most ingenious and ex-

there was once man and woman, but that the

VERY LATE FROM CALIFORNIA, IF TRUE.-We
have seen private letter from San Francisco,
daedIthe Both OF January, which contains the latest
news from the gold region. The writer was vo.
lunteer In Col. Fremont's expedition, and was
taken prisoner by the Indians, and retained In cap
tlvly nine months-his life having been spared,
and his liberty finally granted him, as he says, on
account OF his having been discovered by the In.
dams to be free-masoA, of which fraternity. #
seems, many Of the red men were members The
writer had been very succe ssfully engaged in the
gold mines, and had obtained gold enough to sats-
fy his highest ambition. HIS statements In re.
spect to the extent OF the gold beds and the purity
81 the metal, rather exceed the marvellous descrip-
lions which we have heretofore received. He
speaks OF still further discoveries and of still rlch
er mines, which might furnish profitable employ
ment, as he thinks, for all the young men in New
England. He is SO confident In respect to the
golden promise OF the land, that he urges his
friends here TO 20 at once to the Mines He speaks
also OF silver mines, in which he says there is r.
abundance oil ore; but this inferior metal seems
to be an object OF MINOR regard among the fortune
