Horrible ;Strcrings-Ten If . his Afertiro
zen to dealh•f L > '••.
We have , Oriefly,perttioned . ,the failure of.
Col. Frernont's surveying party in the Rocky
MOutitaihs—the kiss of his men and mules
and the riartoiv escape from death of the
brave Colonel himself, who arrived at Taos,
in 'New Mexico. We have now a full nar
ration of these terrible events written by
Col. Fremont to Mrs. Fremont. These let
ters arrived after Mrs. Fremont had left for
California, and her father. Senator Brenton,
gave them for publication in the newspapers.
The following are extracts:
At Nablo I had engaged as a guide an
old trapper, Well known as "Bill Williams,"
and who had spent some twenty-five years
of his life'in trapping in Various parts' of the
Rocky 'Mountains. The error or our ekpe
dition was committed in engaging this man:
lie proVed, never to have knOWn, or entirely
to hare forgotten, the whole country through
Which We Wei° to pass. We occupied (af
ter paising the Mountain). more than half
month in making the progressera few days,
blundering along a tortuous cothse, through
deep snow which already begah to 'eh*
Op the passes, and trusting oar tithe in
searching the way. The I Ith of'December
we found ourselves at the mouth of the Rio
del Norte canon, where that river issues
from the Sierra San Juan—one of the hioh
est, most rugged, and impracticableof all the
Rocky Mountain ranges, inaccessible. to
trappers and hunters, even in summer.
Across the point of this elevated rang'e our
guide conducted Us; and, having still great
Confidence in this man's knowledge. We
pressed onward withlatal resolution; Even
along the river bottoms the snow was already
breaSt deep for the mules and falling frel
quently in the valley and almost constantly
on the mdantains. The cold Was extraordi
nary. At 'the warmest hours of the day
(between one and two) the thermometer
(Fahrenheit) stood, in the shade of a tree
trunk, at r lero : ; and that was a favorable
day, the don shiniovend a moderate breeze.
Judge of the nights and storms ! •
We pressed up towards the summit, the
snow deepening, as we rose, and in four or
five days of 'this struggling_ and climbing, all
on foot. the reached the naked ridges which
lie abore the line of the timbered region, and
whith'ferrn the . dividing, heights between the
Alahtle. and 'Pacific oceans. Along these
naked heights it storms all winter, and the
raging 'Winds sweep across them with re
morseless fury. On our first attempt to
•croSe, we encountered a poudiere—(dry
snow driven thick through the air by vio
lent wind, and in which objects r.re visible
only at a short distance)—and were drii'en
'brick, having some ten or twelve men vari-
Iftozen—face, hands, or feet. The
guide tame near being frozen to death here,
•and 'dead mules Were already lying about
'the 'damp fires. Meantime, it snowed and
'the storm increased so fearfully that all fur
lther movement was paralyied. To ad vance
'with the expedition was impossible ; to get
'back. impossible. Our fate stood revealed.
Welvere'rivertaken by sudden and inevita
ide ruin. The poor animals were to go first.
The only 'places tvhere grass could be had
were the extreme summits of the Sierra.
'where the Sweeping winds kept the rocky
ground 'bare, and where the men could nut
live. Below, in the timbered region, the
poor arikrials could not get about, the snow
'being deep enough to bury them alive. It
was instantly apparent that 'we should lose
everyone. I took my resolution iintnedi
'ately, and . deterrnined to recross the moun
tain back'to the valley of the 'Rio del Norte,
'dragging or. packing, the baggage by men.
With grearlabor the baggagewasiransport
eiPacross.the crest to the head sprines of a
little stream leading to the main river. A
hMv days were stifficient to destroy that fiiie
hand of mules which you sat' me purchase
last fall on the frontier of 'Missouri. They
generally kept huddled together; and, as
they froze, one would be seen to tumble
down, and disapper under the driving snow.
Sometimes they Would break utf, and rush
down teivards the timber till stopped by the
deep snow, where they were soon 'hidden by
the pouderic. The courage of some of the
men began to fail.
In this situation i'deterreined to send in a
party to the Spanish settlements of New
Mexico for provisions, and for. mules to
transport our baggage, and I therefore dis
patched King, Brackenridge, Creutzfeldt,
and the guide, Williams; and placed the
party under the command of King, with di
rections to send me an express in case of the
least delay at the settlements. After wait
' ing many clays, some of my men began to
get discouraged. Proue laid down in the
:trail and froze to death. In a sunshine day,
:and having with him the means•to make a
dire, he threw his blanket down on the trail,
laid down upon it, and laid there till he froze
Yo; death !
Sixteen days passed away, and no tidings
from the party sent for relief. I became op
pressed 'with anxiety, weary of delay, and
determined to go myself, both in search of the
absent party, and in search of relief in the
Mexican settlementsoi Leaving the camp
mployed with the baggage, under the corn
inland of Vincent Haler, with injunctions to
follow me in three days, I set oil down the
'river with a small party, consisting of Godey,
ihis young nephew, I'reuss, and Saunders,
a colored servant. We carried our arms,
and provisions for two or three days. In the
camp • left under the command of Vincent
Haler the messes only had provisions for a
few meals, and a supply_of five pounds of
sugar to each man. 111 failed to meet King,
My intention was to make the Mexican set
tlement on the Colorado. a little affluent of
the Rio del Norte, about half a degree above
Taos, [you will see it on toy map] and
thence send back the speediest relief possi
ble to the party under Vincent Haler. Af
ter six days weary travel, about sunset we
discovered a little smoke, in 'a grove of tim
ber, off from the river, and thinking perhaps
it might be our express party, King and his
•
men, on their return, we went to see. This
*vas the twenty-second day since that party
had left us. We found . thetn—three of them,
Creutzfeldt, BraclFenridge, and ;Williams—
, the moat miserable lobjeCts I had ever be
held. I Aid . hot ,recognise C redzfeldrifea
tures., i When Brackenridge' brought him up
and told me his name ; they had.been story
ink. King had .starved..to death a few
days before. HiS remains were some six
or eight miles above k near the river: We
carried these three with us down the valley
to the Pueblo ori then Little Colorado, which
we reached the fourth day after Wards—the
tenth after leaving the camp 'on the motin
twins—having travelled through ano* and
on foot, one hundred and sixty miles.
The morning after reaching the Little
Colorado Pueblo—horses and supplies not
being there—Godey and I rode on to the
Rio Hondo, and thence to Taos, about twenz
ty-five miles, where we found what we
.needed.; and the. next morning . Godey, with
four Mexicans, 37 horses or mules,and pro-
visions, set out on his return to the relief of
Vincent Haler's party.
Meantime the poor fellows whom I had
left in the camp-23 in number—had re
mained 7 days, waititeT itt vain for succor,
and they Then started for the settlements
starving for want .of food. Manuel—who I
was a Christian Indian of the . Cosumne
tribe—was the first to give out. Ile begged
Vincent Haler to shoot him. Failing to ,
find death in that form, he turned and made
his way back to the tamp. intending tr,
die there. The party moved on, and at ten
miles IVise gave out—flirt:iv away his gun
and blanket, and a few hundred yards fur
ther. fell over into the sno* and died. Two
Indian boys—countrymen of Manuel—were
behind. They came upon him, rolled him
up in his blanket, and buried him in snow
on the bank of the river. No other - died that
day. None the next.
" Carver raved during the night—his ima
gination wholly occupied with the images of
many things which he fancied himself to be
eating. In the morning he wandered off,
and probably soon died. He was not seen
again. Sorel on this day—the fourth from
the camp—laid down to die. They built
him a fire, and Morin, who was in a dying
condition, and snow-blind, remained with
him ; these two did not probably last till the
next mornin; that evening I think it
was—Hubbard killed a deer.
They travelled on, getting here and there
a grouse. but nothing else, the deep snow in
the valley having driven off the game. The
slate of the party became desperate, and
brought Haler to the determination of break
ing it up, in order to pretest them from liv
ing 1111011 one another. He told tfiem that
he had done all he could foTThem—that they
had no other hope remaining then the ex
pected relief—and that the 'Mist plan was to
scatter. and make the best of their 'way, each
as he could down the river,—That, for him,
self, if he was to be eaten, he would be found
travelling when he did die. This address
had its effect ; they then accoYdingly sepa
rated.
With Haler, contined five others- , --Scott,
Hubbard. Martin, Bacon. one other, and the
two Cosumne Indian boys. Rohrer now
became desponding and stopped. Haler re
minded him of his family, and urFi`red him to
try and hold out for their sake. Roused by
this appeal to his tenderest affections, the
unfortunate man moved forward, but feebly,
and soon began to fall behind. On a further
appeal he promised to follow, and to over
take them at evening.
Haler, Scott, Hubbard and Martin now
agreed that if any one of them should give
out the others were not to wait for hint to
die, but to push on, and try and save them
selves. Soon this mournful covenant had to
be kept.
At night Kerne's party encamped a few
hundred yards from Haler's, with the inten
tion, according to Taphn. to remain where
they were until the relief should come, and
in the mean time to live upon those who had
died, and upon the weaker ones as they
should die. With this party were the three
brothers Kerne,•Capt. Cathcart. McKie, An
drews, Stepperfeldt, and 'l'aplin. Ido not
know that I have got all the names of this
party.
Fergurizon and *Beadle had remained to
gether behind. In the evening Rohrer
came up and remained in Kerne's party.—
Haler learnt after Wards from 'some of the
party that Rohrer and Andrews wandered
oft the next Morning and (lied. They say
they saw their bodies.
Haler's party continued on. After a few
hours Hubbard gave out. According to the
agreement,, he was left to die, but with such
comfort as could be given him. They built
him a fire, and gathered him some wood,
and then left him—without turning their
heads as Haler says, to look at him as they
went of! About two miles further. Scott
—you remember him, he used to shoat
birds for you on the frontier—he gave out.
He was another of the four who had cov
enanted against waiting for each other.—
The survivors did for him as they had done
for Hubbard, and passed on.
In the afternoon the iwo . Indian boys
went ahead-..bltssed be these boys !—and
iefore nightfall met Godey with relief. He
tad gone on with all speed. The boys gave
tim the news. Haler heard the guns, and
:new the crack of our rifles, and felt that re
ief had come. This night was the first of
tope and joy. Early in the morning, with
the first gray light, Godey was in the trail,
and soon met tinier and the wreck of his
party slowly advancing. I heat that they
all cried together like children ; these men
of iron nerves and lion hearts, when dangers
were to be faced or hardships conquered.—;
They. were all children in this, moment of
melted hearts. Succor was soon dealt out
to these few first met ;, and Godey with his
relief, and accompanied by Haler, who turn
ed back, hurriedly followed the back trail in
search of the living and the dead, scattered
in the rear. They came to Scott first.—
He alive, and is saved ! They come
to Hubbard- next—he was dead; but still
warm. These were • the only ones of Ha
ler's party that had been

It will be'seen by these extracts, that on

mountains. The rest oftheta were to pro

from Santa Fe on the evening of the 176
of February, and, doubtless, arrived there,
by the old Gila road, long before this. Mrs.
Fremont is now on her way_ up the Pacific
in one of the mail steamers, if she has not
already arrived. It also appears, by these
letters, that Fremont intends to commence
'farming,- on a large scale, in California, in
stead of gold digging, as some have intimat
ed. Ile has ordered various farming impli
ments, and the machinery for a grist-mill, to
be forwarded from New York, to San Fran

cattle, related by Col. Stevenson, is not,

READ AND REFLECT !
A Spontaneous Eulogy—the Truth Candidly SW
ted—the Philosopher's Stone Found a Lost
The subjoined dialouge. for the au hentic
ity of which we can produce the bes of au
thority, took place a few days' ago, i one
of our northern townships. The path l
iars were handed to us by an unobserved
.spectator, who has also kindly furnished us
with the substance of the same. The one
of the participaters lives very retired, and
accosted one of his neighbors who had just
returned from Allentown in the following
words :
"Well Michael, where ha veyou been and
what news do you bring with you ?"
"Peter," responded Michael, "the news
that I bring is of a trivial nature to me, the
California fever is monopolizing everything
else, and as I have no desire to leave my
tranquil home for this modern Ophir, it is
of no interest to'me whatever, and I have
frequently remarked to my family, that the
iNsw - Vous . SToas, kept by 'Kern 4- Sam
son, is of as much moment to the poor, as
California is to the gold diggers, for goods
can now be bought at their•store, leas than
half price !
"The New York Store," muttered Peter,
"this place is entirely unknoWn to me, and
no doubt•owing to the pllpable reason of not
visiting Allentown oftener ; and if ins' mem
ory does not deCeive me, it will be four years
next fall since I was there last.
"can it be possible," replied Michael at
the top of his stentorian voice, "then you
have been paying exorbitant prices for your
goods prices which have undergone at
this store an entire revolution ; in fact and
with truth, it is called the "Benefactor of
the Poor !' People are rushing there in
such large numbers, that is a difficult task
to crowd in the store. I have to day made
some purchases that astonish even myself
for their cheapness, and I guarantee you, if
you once give them a call it will not be the
last, for an entire suit can be bought for a
trifling amount of money.
"Michael you take me quite by surprise,
and I too am inclined to think that it is of
) 0
far more important to our immediate com
munity than the dis very of gold in Cali
fornia, and ere anoth sr week will pass away
I will give them a call, for one ofmy daugh
ters is soon to be linked in the holy bonds of
wedlock. •
I "Do s'o, Peter, and you will make a day's
work-50 per cent can easily be made ; you
know their is nothing like economy, and I
for my own part are yet, and always have
• been a strict adherent to the old maxim,
' that "a penny saved, is a penny made."—
I have in my time dealt with a great many
stores, and candid truth stimulates me to
Say that the New York Store stands fir su
perior to all others, not alone for cheapness,
but for the quality and goodness of their
goods. To me this fact is not as much of a
novelty:is to others who Ere not al - pi:3yd of
the manner they buy tWir goods. They pay
no profit tejohers, but make their purchases
direct front the Importers themSelyes, not
alone in New Yerk,• but of nearly all the
great Commercial cites in the union, which
to me at once dissolves the enigma."
"Michael, I am under infinite obligations
to you for this important news and shall not
keep it to myself, but give it publicity
among all my .neighbors, in order that they
can also reap some of its benefits; and it ap
pears to me that you ought to receive a se
vere reprimanding for not sooner promulga
ting such momentuous intelligence."
"Peter, in one sense of the word, I am -nal
ble of selfishness, but again sincerly speak
ing, I always induln.ed the idea, that you
was informed of this wonderful revolution in
this branch of business. had I known that
you was ignorant in the matter, I should
have acquainted you of the fact long ere
tbis ; but surely . time is rapidly passing
away, and I must be for leaving, so good
bye, hope we may soon meet again, and
tben I kncriv you will be still.the more ela
ted."
Michael thus abruptly took leave'of Peter.
who was overcome with joy at this sudden
but truly enviable intelligence, and mur
mured 'to himself half audibly, That ere to
morrow night I will know all about this
New York store. We then also made our
exit. THE UNOBSERVED SPECTATOR.
