COLONEL FREMoNT-A letter to the St.
Louis Union from Puebla, New Mexico,
dated Oh the 2Sth November states that
Col. Fremont and party had commenced
the ascent of the first range of mountains
near Puebla, and were pursuing their
toilsome march through SHOWS, toward
the Pacific ocean. Col. Fremont left last
fall to complete his explorations and sur
veys. This trip by Col. +. has been
taken at his own expense, but we suppose
that Congress will make provision for
defraying the expenses of the expedition,
We give an extract from the letter.
On the goth, Col. Fremont commenced
the ascent of the snowy mountains. The
last we heard from him, he was vending
his way slowly through snow about two
feet deep, and was within five miles of
the top of the first range of mountains.
1t is the intention of Col. +. to 90 to the
Pacific by an entire new route, south OF
all his former routes across the continent,
His present survey will be of much In
lerest. Should a southern route be de-
termined on for the great railroad across
the continent, this survey will greatly aid
Congress i'll determining the western ter

MIR. EDIToR-While engaged a few
DAYS since Ill my usual occupation Of
farming, or more properly speaking pre-
parlny tor crop; neighbor called and
handed me paper (the Banner if re-
collect) which contained long address
to the Democrats of Arkansas relative to
the eligibility of MIR. Roane to the CUB
ernatorlal office; endeavoring to prove that
II he is elected by the people to that office
there was no constitutional barrier to his
installation. Who the writer is [ know
not but he is wotully ign6rant of the pat
rlotlsnl which governs the heart of at
least one old Democrat of the State, and
think many-very many others.
My notion of constitutional rights
is based upon the moral influence of
that charter which | think embraces law
that tends to the good Of the common
wealth. The duelling act was passed at
a time. when perhaps Mf. Roane was a
member of the legislature, aud received a
large majority of the votes of that body
At any event, he would, in no capacity
whatever, render a service to his country
more glorious than supporting the enact
meut of such law, ,and assisting by precept
and example in enforcing it. AS good
citizen it is his duty to support and up
hold the government and its laws. If he
violated them there is no distinction
known i'll our land which can elevate
him or any other man beyond the reach
of punishment; if there is, the charter of
our rights is mere nulllty.
The premediration Of crime in NOR
| al sense is tantamOunt to its commission
or preparation. If a man goes upon the
battle ground with the determined intent
and wish to kill his citizen. and
knows before he sends or accepts a chal-
lenge that he is actin in violation of the
| law, does he not place himself under the
penalty of the law! If he kills his ad-
versary, is he not guilty of murder and
should not the law be enforced against
! him.
Sir, | am Democrat and have grown
old in the honest support ofmy principles.
! Next to the laws of God | respect and
revere the laws of my country and its
institutions; and under no consideration
can I, or will l. support any man for Office
who dares to violate them and the Wrl-
ter of the piece above alluded to is vast
ing time, ink and paper, in writing thus
to men who love their country and re-
spect its laws.
He who Intentionally violates a law of
his country is unfit to administer them.-
| That is the notion at least of

this or that clique, when we are satisfied
that continuation of the same reckless
course Of policy, which has brought our
State to the verge of bankruptcy and ruin,
will follow? How are we to avoid a
succession of these evils, but by the cleo
ton of man TO the Executive chair, who
is not bound to forward the interests of
any clique, or set of politicians, to the
detriment of the true interests of a MAORI
ty of the whole people of the State !!
MIR. Wilson is not the nominee Of any
caucus-neither is he the nominee of a
convention. He was solicited to become
a candidate, by number of gentlemen
who knew his worth, and that he posses
sed the necessary qualifications to dis
charge the duties of the station, and the
moral frmness to see that the laws were
faithfully executed. He is the steadfast
friend of Education, and uniform system
of internal improvements and opposed
to that reckless course of political jugglery
which has hitherto been practiced upon
the people. Ours are an agricultural peo-
ple-and being himselfa farmer-a work
inc man-he knows their wants and wishes
and if elected. will have the indepen-
dence to carry them out. Try him, Far
mers-he is one Of yourselves. You may

AN INTER EsTING INCIDENT.-The Ma
tional Inteligencer gives the following
"The delegation of Chippewa chiefs
and warriors were shown around the
Capital on Friday, by their intelligent
agent and interpreter, Major ). Is. Mar
tell They frequently expressed their
wonder and admiration at the extent and
grandeur of the building, and the splendid
paintings strongly attracted their atten-
ton. From the Capitol they proceeded
to the statute of Washington, followed
by crowd of ladies and gentlemen
They went to the front of the statute aud
gazed at it for some minutes with looks
of deep interest depicted upon their pain
ted faces; then sitting down facing the
statute, one of the chiefs, O-sku- ba-wiss,
filled his splendid pipe of peace, and held
it out towards the statute, saying -" My
great father, we all shake hands with
you; we have travelled long way thro'
the great country that you acquired for
your people by the aid of the Great Spirit.
Your people have become very great
our people have become very small; may
the Great Spirit who gave you success,
now protect us and grant us the favor we
ask of our great father who now fills the
high place first occupied by YOU
"This simple supplicatory address was
faithfully interpreted to the bystanders,
by Major Martell.'

A SINGULAR PETITroN.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Pat
riot states, that e. petition has been pre-
sented to Congress, from Mrs. Nancy
Johnson, residing some where in the State
of New York, praying that she may be
paid two thousand dollars for her husband,
lost in the Mexican war. SLe represents
that her husband was in the army in Mex
ico-that he deserted to the enemy-that
he was captured and brought back-that
General Taylor would not allow him to
remain, but sent him off-that in conse-
uuence, he is lost to her, if not to the
world, therefore, she prays payment.
And inasmuch as Congress is paying for
negroes lost in similar way-as in the
Pacheco case-and as she considers her
husband worth two nj ggers, she asks for
the sum of two thousand dollars.

A Trick OF THE OUTGOING ADMINS
TRATIoN.--The Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Courier writes
"In commenting the other day upon
MIR. Rockwell's speech III reference to the
condition of the Treasury, [ neglected to
mention an important fact, which seems
also to have escaped his notice. The CIV
il and diplomatic bill which recently pass
ed the House. contains appropriations for
a million of dollars beyond the estimate
of the Secretary. In stating the expen
ditures for the ensuing fiscal year, no cal
culation for any portion of the foreign
services was included.
This wilful neglect occurred in the face
of the fact, that although our Locofoco
administration succeeded another, tull pro-
vision was made at the advent of MIR.
Polk, for an entire change in the diplomat
ic corps of which he availed himself to
the fullest extent. How MIR. Buchanan
will explain this unworthy expedient re-
mains to be seen. If it was not wilful
attempt to deprive Gen. Taylor of right,
conceded by the uniform usage of the
government, it was at least disregard of
duty which Will reqnlre some ingenuity
TO palate.
Conformable to established usage, the
Secretary of State is in duty bound to esti-
mate for the foreign service OF an incom-
ing administration, and in failing to noti-
fly the head of the Treasury to this effect,
he has subjected himself to imputations
that are any thing but creditable. Other
branches of the public service, have also
been disregarded Or put aside, with view
of creating favorable impression as to
the state of finances; and ia this way the
civil ard diplomatic bill has been bur-
thened with items and amounts that
ought properly to have taken different
direction, or to have been included in the
estimates of the Secretary of the Treasu-
nv.

We get the following singular item
from the Hannibal (Mo.,) Journal, of
Thursday last:
AWFUL RETRIBUTIoN.-AM Mr. Weather
ford, sheriff of Schuyler county, and eX-
collector of county revenue, conceivlng
design to swindle the commonwealth
out of some $1,000, left the money in the
care of his wife, stating to her, that he
would be absent some days, and enJoin-
ing upon her to permit no one to stay all
night at his house during his absence.
At night rather aged man applied for
entertainment, and finally got permission
to remain About II o'clock some per-
SONS demanded permission, and on being
let in they were found to be disguised as
negroes They demanded the money,
which they said they knew was i'll the
house. The woman gave them some
paper money, but they insisted there was
more in >he house and sent her up stairs
for it, She informed the old gentleman
of the state of things below. He gave
her pistol, put the money in her apron
with the pistol concealed beneath it, and
ordered her to fire as the robber came
forward to take the money. She did as
she was instructed, and the man fell dead
at her feet The old man fired and killed
another, and the third made his escape.
Upon examination, it was found that the
guilty husband had fallen by the hand of
his own wife. Thus it is that a mysteri-
Gus Providence, even i'll this world, metes
out punishment to those who transgress
His laws.
