In order to afford our readers all the
information in our possession respecting
the late news from the Gold Mines, we copy
the following interesting items from the
Omaha Republican.
A party direct from Cherry Greek reached
our city on Monday evening last, having
come through in twenty one days from their
camping grounds at tne mouth of that stream.
They report the roads in good order, all the
streams bridged, and camping grounds han
dy the whole way. 1t is not ascertained
how much of tho precious metal they had,
but We arc satisfied they were pretty well
supplied. We were shown some of the gold
in its native state, and must say we almost
felt like starting for the promised land.
The following extracts from aprivatc let
ter from Sam. S. Curtis, who left Council
Bluffs for the mines, to his brother in this
city, will give our readers some idea Of what
life on Cherry Creek is.
We have always looked on this with sus-
picious eye; but after examining the gold
brought through by them, must say that
there is no longer any doubt of the existence
of gold there, and in large quantities. He

TRIAL OF A HANDSOME YOUNG WIDOW IN
North CARoLINA.-The North Carolina pa
pers announce the acquittal at Raleigh last
week of Martha Morgan, a handsome young
widow of twenty-five, charged with the
murder of Alexander Allen, constable, in
Johnson county. A writer to the Peters
burg Express says:
Martha Morgan, the prisoner, was indi-
gent bat proverbially honest Through her
own exertions and the kindness of q few
neighbors, she supported her little family.
Some months since, Allen, the constable,
forcibly entered her abode and levied on her
scanty effects for the purpose of selling
them. She demonstrated and importuned
him to desist. Regardless of her entreaties,
he persisted in taking her furniture, and ad-
ded insult to injury by heaping upon her a
volley of abuse. Being without protector
and feeling deeply aggrieved, in moment
of frenzy she seized shot gun and shot keI

DESPERATE ENcorSfER WITH a BURGLAR, /,
The Lawrenceburg Register Of the 9Th inst.
says:
A mandy the name of George North, liy-
ing four miles south of Rising Sun, ON the
Indiana bank of the Ohio river, had been
loading a store boat about two weeks since.
In sleeping on the boat several nights he
heard a number of attempts to enter the
boat burglarously. Thinking he might
eventually find out the attempted intruder
he kept silent till the third night, when, the
first thing he knew, the burglar had effect
ed an entrance and was at his bed side, with
a bowie-knife, which had been secreted un-
der his pillow, drawn over him. Selling
the intruder he rescued the knife from him,
in which, however be was slightly wound
cd. North soon got the advantage of the
burglar, and, securing his pistol, fired seTer-
al shots at his antagonist, who retired, with
what result Mr. North did not then know.
Thinking that by keeping the matter Sc
cret he would eventually find cut who the
burglar was, he remained silent, until his
sister, in washing, found quantity of blood
and asked him the occasion of it, when, en-
joining sccrcsy, he told her the details OF the
occurrence. Mr.. North in few days start
ed down the river with his boat, and had
been gone but short time, when, ON Fri
day last, body was found at the mouth of
Sugar Geek, little below Patriot, pierced
with two bullets, marked on the arm " j..
H. Howard, and supposed to have been the
burglar who attempted to rob the boat. He
was accompanied by two others in a skiff,
who no doubt had taken him on board, and
after death threw him in the river.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.-Senator Gwinn has
written letter to the President congratu-
lating him upon the success of the over
land mail route to California. Hesays:
The great experiment of running four
horse post coaches between these points in
twenty-five days, over route Of 2,65l
miles long, was commenced on the very day
mentioned in the contract, and has been
successfully accomplished. The first stage
load of passengers ever driven between San
Francisco and St. Louis made the journey
in twenty-three days and four hours, thus
exceeding not only your own hopes, but
those of my most sunguiue constituents. 1t
is Il great achievement, and fraught with the
most important consequence. This will,
no doubt, call to your memory the origin
Of mail communication, and regular travel
by coaches over the mountains of your own
native State, first by pack-mules and horses,
then by stages, over the rough mountain
routes, requiring week from Philadelphia
to PIttSburg; subsequently by turnpikes,
and now by railroad in a few hours. The
Blue Mountains, the Siding Hill, the Ale
gheny, the Chestnut and Laurel Ridges con-
stituted more serious obstacles at that day
than those that have heretofore separated
California from the Mississippi river. Upon
this auSpicious commencement of an enter
prise whose object is to connect the Eastern
settlements Of California with those of the
mississippi Valley, and thus render our
diverse Interests homogeneous, allow me TO
tender you my hearty congratulations.

BARON HUMBoLDT.-Eon on Humboldt has
celebrated his ninetieth birthday. An Eng
lish correspondent, writing from Berlin,
says:
Never did conqueror receive so many
congratulations as the postboy had to car
ry on Tuesday morning to the well known
house in the Oransicnburger StrasSe. Those
who have been SO fortunate as to enjoy a
peep at the fifth volume of Kosmcs, which
is still under his hands, assert that neither
in style or contents does it in the least yield
to the four volumes which have preceded it.
Humboldt himself is said to be of the opin-
ion that lie will die next spring, Just after
having completed the last ofthe tasks he has
undertaken. But his friends, who observe
him speak differeI tly, are bold enough to
predict that this time he viii prove to be
altogether in error, and that Livery differ

pates will next year take place in his house

REMARKABLE LUsEs NATUEE.-The Nash
ville Banner describes the following most
extraordinary freak of nature.
Mr. VestaI, at the Commercial Hotel in
Nashville, exhibited to us yesterday, girl
who has four legs and feet, and two heads,
four arms, and the upper parts of two bodies
perfectly formed, with the exception that
the heart of one of these bodies is in the
right side instead of the left, but though it
is double as to its heads, arms, aud legs, yet
in its spinal and pc!vis arrangements it is
one. Its two heads are very intelligent and
answer and sing tagether. In answering
questions asked by any one, both answer to-
gether and in the same words or, if differ
ent questions are asked, each answers differ
emily. In walking, the girl uses two or
four legs, which ever happens to be most
Convenient. In eating she uses both mouths,
though it is supposed that one would answer
the purpose as well, rs there is but one set
of digestive organs. 1t is the most remark
able creature we have ever seen. 1t is more
wonderful than the Siamese Twins-they
were two persons joined together by a men,
brane. This girl is two persons with one
body-duality in unity.
She was exhibited at the Fair in that CITY,
and crowds went to see her
