sound, something between a sigh, smile,
and single knock-cough. The hostess
replies, "oh, but you always sing so de-
lighuul!y.' The young lady answers,
That she cannot sing this evening" to
strengthen which opinion, she makes some

We have news from Santa Fe to the 25tI
of February. Col. Fremont has arrived
there on his way to California, taking
Cookies route. He lost eleven men in The
mountains. We have names of only three.
viz: Wise. Of st. Louis, and King and Pres
uss, of Washington.
Fremont did not reach the top of the
mountains on which Col. Benton's last ac-
counts left him. lie was compelled to re-
tire 10 the valley, where the snow fell to
the depth of from 30 TO 40 feet, covering
up all his outfit and killing his mules.
He left the valley and took through the
hills. Here he sent out party to obtain
relief and return at stated periods, but they
not returning, Fremont started after and
overlook them in six days. He got to
Taos, and finally the survivors were re-
lieved.
Fremont was furnished with an outfit to
proceed to lis destination by the Quarter
master and Commissary.
Lieut.. Beall was last heard from at So.
rocco, getting on without difficulty. He
would be IN California in thirty days.
Whether the phrase she lost eleven men,
is to be understood in the sense that that
number had persisted. or was merely inten-
de1 to convey the idea that they had be-
come separated from the main party, and |
their fate was uncertain, is question that
be answered until we have farther /
adyices.
