Late from Cel. Fremont Safe Arrival at Santa
Fe Loss of Eleven Men.
St. Louis, March 30.
We have received news from Santa Fe to
the 25ih of February. Col. Fremont had ar
rived thore on his was to California, taking
Cook's route. He Inst eleven men on the
mountain, from thu seventy of the weather.
We have only three of the names Wise, of
St. Louis, and King and Preuss, of Washing
ton. The name of the latter w ill be recollec
ted as having been frequently mentioned by
Col. Fremont in the narralivo of his first ex
pedition. Col. Fremont did tint reach the top of the
mountains from tin? vicinity of whicn the last
accounts received by Col. Benton left him.
Ho was compelled to retire to the valley,
where the snow fell to the depth of thirty or
forty feet, covering up all his outfit and kil
ling his mules. He then left the valley, and
made his way through the hills, from whence
he sent out a parly to obtain relief and return
within a slated period. Not doing so, Col.
Fremont started after, and overtook them in
six days. He finally reached. Taos, und the
survivors of paiy, being assisted by a party
sent to their assistance, also arrived at that
point. After they had sulficiently recovered
from the fatigues they had undergone, Col.
Fremont was supplied with another outfit by
the Qiiartermsster and Commissary, and
he tesumed his route to California.
Lieut. Beall was last heard from at Sorocco.
He was getting on without difficulty, and will
probably be in California within thirty days.

New Orleans, March 30.
Tho steamer Globe, arrived here from
Brazos St. Jago, brings later dates from that
section of country.
Col. Webb's California expedition has been
broken up, partly on account of tho ravages
of choleia among them. Eight of the mem
bers died of the cholera on tho Uio Grande(
including four New Yorkers. The Globe
brought eighteen of the company on their re
turn home.
Mr. Audubon had been robbed of $12,000
in gold, but succeeded in recovering $1000.
ol. Webb remained behind with Mr. Audu
on, and the two were endeavoring to recover
nore of the plunder.
There was much sickness on the Brazos.
The Cholera is increasing in the city.
The Canada's advices have caused a de

THE GOLDOMETER OR GOLD SEEKER'S
GUIDE! .
8ignor D'AIvear has just arrived at New York,
from the Gold regions of California,- bv way of
Panama, Chagnw, and New OrloaYls, bringing
with him a very large quantity of Gold ore, Valued
at nearly one million of Dollars, which he collec
ted there, long before the existence of the" Gold
mines became known to the residents of California
generally.
HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY!
Signer D'AIvear went out to California nearly
two yeara ago. in consequence of certain informa
tion which he had received of the geological char
acter of that country, with the firm belief thai vast
mines of precious metal would be revealed there
upon careful investigation. He was encouraifcd
to this enterprise, also by his confidence in the
powers of a certain Magnetic instrument which he
had invented, called "Ooldometrr," by whose aid
he expected to lie directed at once to the "Gold
Placers," if any such existed. Nor were his ex
pectations disappointed. His scientific calculations
proved to be found in truth and profound wisdom,
and his new iiiKtrument, the "Goldomctcr," fulfil
led his highest hopes. In less than two months
after reaching California, he struck upon one of
the richest gold mines in that country, upon an
obscure branch of tho Sacrato river, in a gorge of
hills extremely rockey and difficult of access, and
seldom visited by the native Californians. Dis
guising hia object under the pretence of purely
scientific research, he obtained the aid of some fif
teen or twenty simple and faithful Indians, and
steadily pursued his task, collecting often more
than $2.1100 worth of gold in a single day, which
he concealed in a deep ravine, without exciting any
suspicion whatever, until after the discovery of
gold at Captain Sutter's Mill, when the mountains
were ransacked by gold seekers, and fSignor D'Al
vear's "gold placer," the richest in all California,
was beset with greedy adventurers. It is now
found that the real mines or sources of the gold,
lie in the gorges of the mountains, and not in the
beds or sands of the rivers. Previous to leaving
California, 8ignor D'AIvear sold his instrument,
the Goldomctcr, a very imperfect one, for $3,000.
The person who purchased it confidently expected
to mnke a handsome fortune, by simply finding
"gold placers" and selling out the right of digging
to the cold workers,

Siguor D'AIvear, in compliance w ith the request
of numerous scientific gentlemen, has commenced
the manufacture of his new Magnetic Instrument,
the Goldometcr, which he now oilers for sale, in

$3 each, accompanied by full instructions for use,

The Goldometcr is so simple an instrument,
that a child may learn to operate with it in five
minutes. It is not effected by climate, moisture,
or any other known cause, (except the natural
magnet,) and will retain its power of pointing out
mineral riches in tho earth for any number of

Farmers and Land Owners throughout the Uni
ted States, who have reason to suspect the exis
tence of any kind of Mineral riches upon their
lands, should avail themselves of this opportunity
to test that fact, by the surest of all known tests,
before the abundunce of discoveries in all parts of
the country shall have lessened this source of
wealth in their estate.
ADVENTURERS TO CALIFORNIA.
Persons going to California cannot make a bet
ter investment than by purchasing one of these
instruments, which will not only be worth fifty
times its value there, to sell again, but will be of
inestimable worth to tliOKO who go in search of
Gold, as has been proved by the most abundant
experiment both in California and the United States
1 tMIJHI.MAIA
Signor D'AIvear does not does not deem it ne
cessary to encumber this notice with a long list of
testimonials, in proof of the value of his GOLD
OMETER and GOLDSEEKER S GUIDE. The
brilliant results of his labors in California, and the
discovery, this very week, of fresh veins of Gold
in Virginia, and beds of Coal in Rhode Islaud, bv
it use, arc alone snflicicnt to stamp it as the greatest
discovery of the age. Nothing but the extreme
cheapness of the instrument, and his desire to see
it used for the benefit of mankind induces him to
dispose of it at the low price of which he offers 'it.
Besides this, his own desire for wealth m nearly
satisfaeficd.
The following Testimonials, in proof of the
value of the Goldometer, selected from a great
uumlier equally satisfactory, must sufiice for the
suffice for the present :

the practical operation of Signor Jose DeAlveai'a
newly invented magnetic instrument, the Golu
iimiitch, feel entirely satisfied that it posseses the
extraordinary power of desecting Mineral ores bid

age.
For a trifling sum. every individual and every family may
have HEALTH l.NSl'RED to them for an indefinite pe

It is too preciims a boon to Vs tampered wilh, by trying

Mr. A. Durham Dear Sir : In reply to your note of yes-

1 A VALUABLE HINT TO FARMER 1 , .
: The celebrated Pobert Bahewell, of D'ah
I y, Li'icpatershire, find tfie founder of th
new Leicester sheep, ued to tell an anerd t
with etecedin!? high glee of a farmer ntii
only of th old school, but rf the olden times:
This farmer, owned and occupied 1006 acres'
of Inn'l had Ihtee daughters ' When his t-rtl-est
daughter mairied, he gave her ot'ie rjunri
ter of his land for her pot I ion, but no money J
find hr found, by a little more upeed nrid ft
little better management, the produce of his
farm did not decrease. When his socotur
daughter married, he gave her one ihird of
tho remaining land for her iwrtion,' but no
money. He then eeV to work, and begun to
gtub tip hi furze and fern, rind plonghed up,
what he railed his poor dry furze land, even
when the furze covered in some closes nearlv
Imlf the land. After giving half his land '-
way to two of his daughter!", to his great sur
prise ftp. found that his produce increased ,
he made more money because hia now bro
ken up furze land brought excessive cropj
and at the same time he farmed ihe whole
of his land better, for he employed (hree times
more laborers upon it; he rose two hours
sooner in the morning, had no more dead fal
low once in three years; instead of which he
got tw o green crops in one year, and ate them
upon the land. A garden never red'nres A
dead fallow. But the great advantage -ifa,
he had got the same money to manage 500
acresas he had to manage 1000 acres; therp.
fore ho laid out doubla tho money upon the
land. Whsn his third and last daughter mar
ried, he gave her 250 acres, or half what re
mained, lor her portion and no money. Ht
then found that he had the same money to
farm one quarter of tho land as he had at
first to farm the whole. He began to ask
himself a few questions, and set his wits to
work how ho was I make as much of 250
as ho had done of 1000 acies. He then paid
off his bailiiT, who weighed twenty stone!
rose with the larks in the long days, and
went to bed with the lamb; he got as much
more work done for his money ; he made his
servants, laborers, and horses, move-'fas'terj
breko them from their snail's pace ; and
found that the eye of the master quickened
the pace of the servants He saw the begin-'
ning and tho en.'ling of everything; and to
his servants and laborers, instead of saying.
"Go and do it," he said tothr-m, (:Let us go,
my boys, and do it." Between ccme ajul go'
he found out a great difference. He grubbed'
up the whole of his furze and ferns, and theif
ploughed the whole of his poor grass land up,
and converted a great deal of com into meat
for the sake of manure, and he preserved his
blank water, (the essence of manure ;) cut
his hedges down, which had not been plashed
for forty or fifty years; straightened his zig
zag fences; cut his water courses straight
and gained a deal of land by doing so ; mado
dams and sluices, and irrigated all tho land
lie could j he grubbed up many of his hedges1
and borders covered with bushes, in joins
places from 10 to 14 yards in width, some
more in his small closes, some not wider than
streets; and threw three, four, five, and si
closes into one. He found out that, instead
of growing white thorn hedges and haw s to
feed foreign birds in the winter, he could
grow food for man instead of migratory birds.
After all this improvement he grew moio.
and more of 250 acres than he did fronv
1000; at the same lime he found out that
half of Ettgland at that time was not cbltiva
ted from the want of means to cultivate it
with. 1 let him rams and 6old him long-1
horned bulls, (said R. Bakewell,) and told
him the real value of labor, both in-doors and
out, and what ought to be done wkh a cer
tain number of men, oxen, and hor.-os, with
in a given time. I taught him to sow less
and plough better; that there were limits
and measures in all things; and that tho
husbandman ought to be stronger than the
farm .1 told him how to make hot land
colder, and cold land hotter, light land stiffer,
and stiff land lighter. I soon caused him to
shake off all his old deep-rooted prejudices,
anil I grafted new ones in their places. I
told him not to breed inferior-cattle, sheep
or horses, but ihe best of each .kind, for tbe
beat consumed no more that! the wqrst. My
friend became a new man in his old age, and
died rich. Gardiner's Chronicle.
