Literary Note from The Century Co.

At the time of General Fremont’s death he was engaged upr on the manuscript of a paper soThe Century's forthcoming series on the California Gold Hunters. It was to be entitled “Finding Paths to California,” and was not only to deal with the several exploring expeditions, but to narrate the writer’s intimate connection with the events which led to the conquest and occupation' of the territory. The work will be promptly continued by Mrs. Fremont A first draft of the article had been made, and the subject had been so recently and closely discussed by General and Mrs. Fremont that she will have no trouble in completing the manuscript, for which she had already written an introduction, as well as a supplement describing her life at Monterey in 1849. A fine portrait of General Fremont from a daguerreotype of ’49 or ’SO will appear in the September number of The Century, along with portraits of Commodores Sloat and Stockton, “Duke” Gwin, and Governor Barnett, in an article giving account of “How California Came into the Union.”
