A Robbers History Of his Wrongs.

A correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Herald, writing from Monterey,
relates the following of this famous
brigand, which represents him as the
injured party, and perhaps not without
reason, as the reckless cruelty Of the
gold diggers is proverbial:
Rumors reached this place Yesterday
that Joaquin, with two Of his band,
surprised the inmates Of California
house on Salinas Plains one night last
week, by knocking at the door and de-
manding entrance. After much hesita-
ton they were admitted, when they
civilly asked for some refreshments
the spokesman saying that lie and his
companions had lost their road and
were belatcd that they were on their
way to the south to purchase cattle.
Tho ranchero and his family seeing
these men armed to the teeth, in the
dead Of the night, were fain to be oh.
servant of discretion. The spokesman
was tall, handsome man, about twcn.
ty-one years old, with a long beard
and apparently false moustachc, and
carried four reyolvers and a large bowie
knife. The other two were also well
armed, and had the best of horses
the best the ranchero had ever seen.
After talking awhile on various sub
jects, with great familiarity and polite
ness, it came into the occupants head
that the veritahle joaquin, the robber
chicfof the Stanislaus Placers, was the
man who was convcrsing with him.
lie asked tho question of the polite
man the four six shooters, if he had
Just come from the plaeers. and if any
news had been heard of Joaquin, as
he was told great many parties were
sent in search of him, with the expect
alton of a large reward. The persor
addressed put his hand to his heart
and with grave politeness and pene
trating glance, replied:
" Sir, | am that joaquin, and n
man takes me alive, or comes within
, one hundred yards of me, with thes
sood weapons"
