AN EXPEDITION TO THE R°Cl'
MOUNTAINS.
tolls° The St. Louis Missourian contains the -
particulars of Lieutenant Fremont's expeditioei.,
has just returned to that city from the far icesteio
" The party, it will he remembered, left this
the 23d of May, 1843--very nearly fifteen 1111
ago—and the latter part of that month they had
the western boundary of Missouri, and laun°2
into the Prairies. Leaving the frontier in I'd
ginning of June, and travelling along the line ,
Kansas River, the party reached the Beat is'
tains early in July, and occupied that monthio
ploring the heads of the Arkansas. At the l!)
the month they crossed the mountains, and COatit
their way to the westward, had reached the
Salt Lake in the beginning of September. A° i,
being had ever before visited the island of the
brated lake ; and a few weeks were spent in °IFi;
its unknown waters, and in surveying the sti
country. The latter part of this month fooPwd

at Fort Hall, where the winter set in early wl,
vere storm on the 19th. Pursuing their sval, 0
060
Oregon road, they reached the Falls of the LA', orf
early in the month of November. Leaving hn'ir
here, Mr. Fremont proceeded by water to Fo;,,jir
couvre, at which place he arrived at the °.°131.,,,ptif
meat of the rainy season. On the 25th of 20'i,ostr
in a snow-storm, they left the 'Falls' on thell4o4,
ward route, intending to return by way of the
and Mary's Lake. No interruption in thoilliof
difficulties occurred to impede their march 11°trpr
had passed the Kiamet Lake, in the middle °f 04
cember, when their course to the southws7oo
eastward was barred by parallel ranges of on° oil
volcanic mountains, in the valleys of which tbefoieil
forced constantly to the southward, making Pots
no easting. They travelled this way along &eels
base of the great California Mountains, 10°1-00
rise 17,000 feet above the sea, encountering, of
bands of Indians of a very wild character, an 010
of whom had never before seen a white roan. 0001
the end of January, their animals' feet had bec°oll
much worn by the ice and rocks, that theiniipts

They were now between the 38th and the 3w osi
gree of parallel, immediately under the snow
of California. Mr. Fremont determined to 1401°1
to cross this, and to force a way to the settleine IP;
the Bay of San Francisco. The mountain is Itfe itsl!
miles broad, and on its upper regions the esw,"eotlil
from sto 20 feet deep. They were occupienraleoll
a month in crossing it, but finally succeeded, 101 l

"in March exchanged the snow of mid-Winter

verdure of perpetual spring, in the valley of ?!'ej
Sacraments. The party were cordially recel:ol
hospitably entertained at his residence near feet
of San Francisco, by Mr. J. A. Sutter, fre,oll
the frontier of California. Here they remain e 4
time to recruit, and at the end of March tee
sei
set,
their homeward journey. They proceedect,
degrees to the southward to recross the 111,beroi
and passing over the California deserts by the A

waters of the Arkansas, on the Ist day of s)"'of;ti:
