TENNYSON You must wake and call me early, call me early, mother dear; To-morrow will be the happiest time of all the blithe New Year— Of all the glad New year, mother, the maddest, merriest day; For I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May. There's many a black eye, they ,say, but none so bright as mine ; There's Margaret and Mary, there's Kate and Caroline But none so fair as little Alice, in all the laud, they say; So I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May. I sleep so sound all night, mother, that I shall never wake, If ye do not call me loud when the day begins to break : But I must gather knots of flowers, and buds and garland gay; For I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May. As I came up the valley, whom think ye should I see, But Robin, leaning on the bridge beneath the hazel tree He thought of that sharp look, mother, I gave him yesterday, But I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May. Be thought I was a ghost, mother, for I was all in white; And I ran by him without speaking, like a flash o' light. They call me cruel-hearted ; but I care not what they say— For I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May. They say he's dying all for love ; but that can never be : They say his heart is breaking, mother;—what is that to me There's many a bolder lad will woo me any summer day; And I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May. Little Effie shall go with me, to-morrow, to the green; And you'll be there, too, mother, to see me made the Queen ; For the shepherd lads on every side will come from feu• away; And I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May. The honeysuckle round the porch has woven its wavy bowers, And by the meadow-trenches blows the faint, sweet cuckoo-flowers, And the wild marsh-marigold shines like fire in swamps and hollows gray ; And I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May. The night-winds come and go, mother, upon the meadow grass ; And the happy stars above them seem to bright en as they pass ; There will not be a drop o' rain the whole o' the livelong day; And I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May. So you must wake and call me early, call me early, mother dear; To-morrow will be the happiest time of all the glad New Year; To-morrow will be, of all the year, the maddest, merriest day ; For I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May. COL. FREMONT AND MS PARTY• Thrilling particulars of their blorkade in the Snow on the summit of the Rocky Mountains —Su f ferings and Privations. The National Intelligeneer, at Washington, publishes the facts in relation to the terrible events of the expedition of Col. FREMONT, rela ted by himself, in letters to Mrs. FREMONT, and published by his father-in-law, Col. Benton.— The first is dated : TAOS, (New Mexico) Jen. 27, 1849. " Former letters will have made you acquainted with our progress as far as Bent's Fort, nod, from report, you will have heard the circumstances of our departure from the Upper Pueblo, near the head of the Arkansas. We left that place on the 25th of November, with upwards of 100 good mules, and 130 bushels of shelled corn, intended to sup port our animals in the deep snows of the high mountains and down to the lower parts of the Grand river* tribu taries, where usually the snow forms no obstacle to winter travelling. At Pue blo I had engaged as a guide an old trapper well known as " Bill Williams," who had spent seme twenty-five years of his life in trapping in various parts of the Rocky Mountains. " The error of our expedition was committed in engaging this man. He proved never,,to have known, or entirely to have forgotten, the whole country through which we were to pass. We occupied (after passing the mountain) more than half a month in making the progress of a few days, blundering along a tortuous course, through deep snow, which already began to choke up the passes, and wasting our time in searching the way. The 11th of Decem ber we found ourselves at the month' of the Rio del Norte canon, where that ri ver issues from the Sierra San Juan— one of the highest, most rugged, and impracticable of all the Rocky Moon- - tain ranges, inaccessible to trappers and hunters, even in summer: Across the HUNTINGDON, PA., TUESDAY, MAY 1, 1849. point of this elevated range our guide conducted us, and having still great con fidence in this man's knowledge, we pressed onwards with fatal resolution. Even along the river bottoms the snow was already breast deep for the mules, and falling frequently in the valley and almost constantly on the mountains.— The cold was extraordinary. At the warmest hours of the day (between one and two) the thermometer (Fahrenheit) stood, in the shade of a tree trunk, at zero; and that was a favorable day, the sun shining and a moderate breeze.— Judge of the nights and the storms! " We pressed up towards the summit, the snow deepening as we rose, and in four or five days of this struggling and I climbing, all on foot, we reached the na ked ridges which lie above the line of the timbered region, and which form the dividing heights between the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.— Along these naked heights it storms all winter, and the raging winds sweep across them with remorseless fury.— On our first attempt to cross we encoun tered a pouderie—(dry snow driven thick through the rt;r by violent wind, and in which objects are visible only at a short distance)—and were driven back, having some ten or twelve men variously frozen—face, hands or feet.— The guide came near being frozen to death here, and dead mules were already lying about the camp fires. Meantime it snowed steadily. The next day (De cember)--we renewed the attempt to scale the summit, and were more fortu- nate, as it then seemed. Making mauls and beating down a road, or trench through the deep snow, we forced the ascent in,defiance of the driving poude rue, crossed the crest, descended a little, and encamped immediately below in the edge of the timbered region. The trail showed as if a defeated party had pass ed by—packs, pack saddles, scattered articles of clothing, and dead mules strewed along. We were encamped about twelve thousand feet above the level of the sea. Westward the coun try was buried in snow. The storm con• tinned. All movement was paralyzed. To advance with the expedition was im possible ; to get back impossible. Our fate stood revealed. We were overtaken by sudden and inevitable ruin. The poor animals were to go first. The only places where grass could be had were the extreme summits of the Sierra, where the sweeping winds kept the rocky ground hare, and where the men could not live. Below, in the timbered region, tho poor animals could not get about, the snow being deep enough to bury them alive. It was instantly ap parent that we should lose every one. "I took my resolution immediately, and determined to recross the mountain back to the valley of the Rio del Norte, ' dragging or packing the baggage by men. With great labor the baggage was transported across the crest to the head springs of a little stream leading to the main river. A few days were sufficient to destroy that fine * band of mules which you saw me purchase last fall on the frontier of Missouri. They generally kept huddled together ; and, as they froze, one would be seen to turn ble down, and disappear under the dil -1 ving snow. Sometimes they would break off, and rush down towards the timber till stopped by the deep snow, where they were soon hidden by the pouderie. The courage of some of the men began to fail. I.ln this situation I determined to send in a party to the Spanish settle ments of New Mexico for provisions, and for mules to transport our baggage. With economy, and after we should leave the mules, we had not two weeks' provisions in the camp ; and these con sisted of a reserve of macearoni, bacon,* sugar, Bre., intended for the last extrem ity. It was indispensable to send for relief. I asked for volunteers for the service. From the many that offered I chose King, Brackenridge, Creutzfeldt, and the guide, Williams; and placed the party under the command of King, with directions to send me an express in case of the least delay at the settlements. It was the day after Christmas that this little party set out for relief. That day, like many Christmas days for years past, was spent by me on the side of the wintry mountain, my heart filled with anxious thoughts and gloomy fore boding. The party for relief being gone, we of the camp occupied our elves in re moving the baggage and equipage down the side of the mountain to the river in the valley, which we accomplished in a few days. Now came on the tedium of waiting for the return of the relief par ty. Day after day passed, and no news from them. Snow fell almost incessant ly to the mountains. The spirits of the camp grew lower. Life was losing its charm to those' who had not reasons be yond themselves to live. Prouo laid down in the trail and froze to death.— In a sunshine day, and having with him the means to make a fire, he threw his blanket down on the trail, laid down upon it, and laid there till he froze to ►death! We were not then with him. "Sixteen days passed away, and no tidings from the party sent for relief.— I became oppressed with anxiety, weary of delay, arid determined to go myself, both in search of the absent party, and in search of relief in the Mexican set tlements. I was aware that. our troops ! in New Mexico had been engaged in hos tilities with the Spanish Urahs, and with the Apaches, who range in the val ley of the Rio del Norte and the moun tains where we were, and became fear ful that they (King and his party) had been cut off by these Indians. f could imagine no other accident to them.— Leaving the camp employed with the baggage., under the command of Vincen thaler, with injunctions to follow me in three days, I set off down the river with ; a small party, consisting of Godey, his I young nephew, Preuss and Saunders (colored servant). We carried our arms and provisions for two or three days.— In the catiip (left under the command of Vincenthaler) the messes only had pro visions for a few meals, and a supply of five pounds of sugar to each man. if I failed to meet King, my intention was to make the Mexican settlement on the Colorado, a little affluent of the Rio del Norte, about half a degree above Taos (you will see it on the map) and thence send back the speediest relief possible to the party under Vincenthaler. " On the second day after leaving the camp we came !Ton n fresh trail of In- 1 dians—two lodges with a considerable number of animals. This did not les sen our uneasiness for our long absent people. The Indian trail, where we fell upon it, turned and went down the river and we followed it. On the fitth day (after leaving the camp) we surprised an Indian on the ice of the river. He pro ved to be a Utah, son of a Grand River chief whom we had formerly known, and he behaved towards as is u friend ly manner. We encamped near them at night. By a present of a rifle, my two blankets, and other promised re wards when we should get in, I prevail ed on this Indian to go with us as a guide to the little Colorado settlement, and to take with him four of his horses to carry our little baggage. The horses were miserably poor, and could only get along at a slow walk. On the next day (the Gth of our progress) we left the Indian lodges late and travelled some six or seven miles. About sunset we discovered a little smoke, in a grove of timber, off from the river, and, thinking perhaps it might be our express party (King and Iris men) on their return, we went to see. This was the twenty-sec ond day - since that party had left us, and the sixth since we had left the camp under Vincenthaler. We found them— three of them ; Creutzfeldt, Bracken ridge, and Williams—the most misera ble objects I ever beheld. I did not rec ognize Creutzfeldt's features, when Brackenridge brought him and told me his name. They had been starving ! King had starved to death a few days before. His remains were some six or eight miles above, near the river. By aid of the Indian horses we carried these three with us, clown to the valley, to the Pueblo on the Little Colorado, which we reached the fourth day afterwards, (the tenth after leaving the camp on the mountains) baying travelled through snow, and on foot, one hundred and sixty miles. " 1 look upon the feeling which indu ced me to set out from the camp as an inspiration. Had I remni.ied there, waiting the return of poor King's party, every man of its must have perished. The morning after reaching the lit tle Colorado Pueblo (horses and supplies not being there,) Godey and 1 rode on to the Rio Hondo, and hence to Taos, about twenty-five miles, where we found what we needed , and the next morning Godey, with four Mexicans, thirty hor ses or mules, and provisions, sat out on his return to the relief of Vincentha ler's party. I heard from him at the Little Colorado Pueblo, which he reach ed the same day he left me, and pressed on the next morning. On the way he received an accession of eight or ten horses turned over to him by the or ders of Major Beall, of the Army, corn inanding officer of this northern dis trict of New Mexico. From him I re ceived the offer of every aid in his pow er, and such actual assistance as he was able to render. Some horses which he had just recovered from the Utahs, were loaned to me, and he supplied me from the commissary's department with pro ' visions, which I could have had nowhere else. find myself in the midst of . friends.
