Suddenly, he paused—lda arm was no longer raised to delilruy— lira weapon dropped gentle down beside. the tree— and they saw his blue eyes look kindly and mildly on the flowers, ds, bonding dovVn to gather them, he farted from their sight in the action, Catherine was by no moans displeased with her fortune, and the appearance of her handsome bridegroom gave cour age to the other two to hasten the coming of thi-irs.

It was her will, not his ; and what woman cverTuil. ed in her deterniinuliun over man? They were wretched. ' . , The heart of Walter, had not been interested, and the temper'of Marian was such as to require its del* {cute preference. She became jealous, iirit.ibic, per. verse, and soon taught her iisphsa husband the difference between herself and the gentle Agnes.— Swell a course could huvo but one termination; stretched ul length upon (hat sick lied which was to be her last, she sent to desire tho attendance of her ydnng sister. ■ Agnes obeyed the mandate, but olily arrived in time to meet the funeral procession which conducted llio hapless Mariuii to her curly grave,— Tho widower, instantly .recognized, from u distance, his young heart’s love, and rapidly flew to meet her and us siie shed tears of unleigned sorrow lor his loss, he took the white handkerchief she held, and tenderly dried (hem away.

From thifNationol Intelligencer.* COL. faEMOXT'AKD HIS PA^SV. iFurtliier and Final Accounts* I We.resume tho extracts from Col. Fremont's Let* ] lets,.prefacing them will) some brief description of| tho localities.made memorable by disaster, for tho i infaffhalton oflhoso who liaVo not recent tno'psal hand. V , •. , ; It is known (hot the great Kooky Mountain chain, wjlh a general direction norih and. south, sends out a branch toward tho. southeast from between the bonds of tho Arkansas and tho' Rio del Norte; and this brunch forms the dividing ridgo between tho upper valleys of these two rivers, and between the head .waters of the Ked, River and the. Del Norte; 1 and having accomplished these purposes il'snbsidcs and disappears in the plains of Texas. Tho highest purl of this branchclioio, and the governing object] mil to travellers, oro the Spanish Peaks, first mnqd known to'American geography by the thou young Lieut. Pino. These. Peaks are about in north Inti- 1 lude 37i degrees, and west longitude from London 105 degrees, and about on d Hno longitudinally with tiro Pueblos of the Upper Arkansas, distant from Ihcm haira.degree, and.insight, They are seen at n grout distance, and oro guiding o.bjqcts to travellers. Tiie road to Santa h*o pusses' below tho' raukV, add crosses (he chain about two 'degrees south. Colonel Fremont paused above them, and entered the valley iof the Del Norte high up .above tho Mexican settle*' lfnenl«, and above Pike's, ond intended iu, follow the Del Norte to its head, and dross the grc.it Rocky Mountain chain through some pass then- to be found. He was, therefore, so to speak, going into tho forks nf tho niounlain—into tho gorge,of two mountains—and at a great elevation, shown by the fact of (ho grout rivers which issue from tho opposite sides of the Rocky Mountains at that purl—-the Ar kansas und Del Norte on the cast, tho Grand RiVet fork of tho Colorado of tho gulf of California on tho went. It was ul this point—tho head of the Del Norte—whore no traveller hud over gone before, that Col. Fremont Intended to pass.ttf survey hlslust line : across the continent, complete his knowledge of the | country between (ho Missi-sippi and tho Pacific, and crown the labors of long explorations by showing the j country between the great river and .the great scu to bo iuhubituble by a civilized people, and prubticu* bio fur u great road, and (hut on several lines, and which wus the best. 110 had been seven years en gaged in this grout labor, and wished to complete it It was. the beginning of . December .that ho crossed the chain from the Arkansas valley into the valley of (he Del Norte; ond, although lute, with (tie full belief of the old huulors and traders at tho Pueblos, | (lio guide'inclusive whom he lliuro engaged, that he would go through. He was provided with every* thing (^carry the men to California, and with grain to curry all the animals'across.all the mountains into the valleys oflho tributaries bf the'Grout Colorado oftlm West, where the snows would be light, wood and grass sufficient, game abundant, and tho hard ships of the expedition all surmounted and left be hind. In two weeks ho.expected to bo in these mild valley?. Unhappily the guide consumed these two weeks in getting to (ho head of tho Del Norte—u. distance which only required four or fivo days of travel, us Col. Fremont showed in coming buck.— This wus tho cause of tho first c.ilamiiy-r-lhu loss of the horses and mules. ..The sumo guide consumed twenty two days, when sent with the party for ro* lief, in making the distance which Cul Fremont, (’with Gndey, Pretiss, and u servant,) without a guide, on foot, jn. m*|dcr;.wsallior,, deeper snows, and half famished, made in six. That was the cause of the second ond irreparable calamity-- the death of. the men',.' . Tho immediate scene of suffering in this grout ( disaster, where tho ascent of tho.great mountain was ' ratted and its summit scaled,, must have been about north lulitudo 38j, and west longitude from London 107, the elevation above twelve thousand feet, and tho lime that of du.id winter—Christina*! From .(his point the* noted, objects, Pike's. Peak, and the Three Peaks,''would bear about E. N. E., and the Spanish Peak about E. S. E, • i With this notice of localities, to which a mourn ’ ful interest must long attach, wo precede to give ox* tracts,from (he rumiining arid final letters from Cul. Fremont. .Tho first of those is dated— “Taos.New Mexico, February G. 1849. “ After a limp delay, which had wooricd.rtiplu the point of resolving to sol out a|oin myself, tidings have at lust reached me from rny ill-fated parly. “Air. Vincent Haler came' in fast night,' having the night bolbru reached tlie. Little Colorado settle* merit, with throe or four others. Including Mr. King uud Mr. Proulx,* we hove Inst eleven ofour party. “ Occurrences, since I left them, are briefly those, so fur us they cunio’ \Vithln the knowledge of Mr. Haler; I say briefly, because I urn now unwilling to force niy mind to dwell upon the' details of whul has been suffered. 1 I need reprieve from terrible cdntemplaliuns. lam absolutely astonished at this jiutsisluhcQ of misfortune—this succession ofoulum* utics which no care or vigilance of mind could fur sec or prevent. I “ You will remember that I - had left the.damp,! (iwonty.three men) whoii'lisot off with Godey, Preussj mid my servanf. in smirch of .Ring and succor, with I |directions about tho baggage, and with occupation sufficient about it to, cmylny them for throe or four days; uftor which they wore to follow me down tho river.' Within that lime I expected relief from King's party, If U onino at oil.. Tliey remained seven days and then started, their scant piovlsions about exhausted, and the dead mules on tho western side oflho groat Sierra buried under snow. “ Manual—(yon well remember Manual—a Chris tian Indian of the Cosumno tribe, in the Valley of the San Joaquin)—gave way to u feeling of despair after they had movud aaout two nfilcs, and bogged | Vincent lialur, whom 1 had left in command, to hlihul him. Failing to find death in that form, ho turned ami made his way back to tho camp, intend* ing to die there; which lie doubtless noon did. mTIio parly moved on,ond til ten ihlloh Wine gave out—threw away hie gun and blanket— and, a Tew hundred yards further, lull over into lliu snow and died.
