FROM SANTA FE--FARTHER DETAILS OF
FREMoNr's DISASTER. The Glasgow (Mo)
Times OF March 20, says:
Oliver p Hovey, Editor of the Santa Fe Re-
publican, left Santa Fe Feb. 10Th, and passed
down the river yesterday morning.
Mr.. Hovey furnished the following particulars
in reference TO Col. Fremonts trip and misfor-
tunes, which he assures US may be relied OIL -
"Upon leaving Bents Fort, Col. Fremont started
upon new route. The weather was intense ly
cold, and after travelling some time, so severe
became the weather. that he lost every animal
in one night. 1t was supposed that they were
800 or 500 miles from the Mexican settlements
when this occurred. Col F. selected 20 of his
best men, gave them 10 days ratons, and started
them for the Spanish settlements, with instruc-
s,ions to procure animals and return. They had
been gone 20 days, when Col. F. and one man
set out to see what had become OF them; after
nine days travel, he found the party encamped
having given up, aud determined to make that
tn scamp of death" The leader of the party
was dead, supposed to have been shot by old
Bill Williams, who acknowledged having eat
portion OF hr% The party was in perishing
condition, from cold and hunger, the snow being
3 leet Deep and they out of provisions Col +.
and one man started nextd day and were fortunate
enough to reach Taos settlement in time to send
back provisions for the remainder of the party
Before they all got together again, from IL to 5
OF them had persisted
TERRIBLE MARINE DISASTER. We learn
from the Baltimore Sun that on the 3lst ultimo
the pilot boat Coquette, while cruising about ST :
ty miles from Cape Henry, Tell In with wreck
OF sloop, bottom upward. The small boat was
sent to her, and she found to bear the name
OF the "Thomas Russell, OF Cape May" One of
the men got on to the bottom, and hearing a noise
inside, raped TO inform them they were heard
Axes and saws were used in cutting a hole
through, and il was soon learned by conversation
that there were five persons inside. Efforts were
still made to cut larger hole TO allow them
egress The vessel continued settling. At this
time three had been drowned. The man who
had his head out, dropped back, and as he went
in, he looked upon the bright sun and remarked,
"ths is the last sun shall ever see." The eff
forts OF the pilots were redoubed but without
avail, the whole OF those inside perishing, so fast
did the vessel settle, before hole large enough
to get them out could be made. Every conceiv-
able effort was made by the pilots, which was
urged on by hearing the efforts of the drowning
men to breathe and sustain themselves until re :
lief could be afforded. The vessel appeared to
be at anchor, as she steady, with the tide
running by her. 1t is supposed, that when she
capsized, her anchor and chains must have run
out, and brought her to her present position.
From RETURNING GoLp SEEK
ERs. The steamer NorthernerA which arrived
on Tuesday from Chagres, brought as passen
number OF gold seekers who had been as far as
the lsthmns but returned in despair of getting a
| passage from Panama to San Francisco Among
those who retuned were Fl. S. Ketchum. and A
| 5. Smith OF the Syracuse and California Trading
and Mining Company, who sailed from this port
in the brig Aida on the I'd of March last A
portion OF this company went round Cape Horn
In charge OF their stores and other property /: a
part by the Nicaragua route, and the remainder
| by the lsthmus, where they now remain, except
those who have just returned. MIR. Ketcfum re-
turned with view of obtaining tickets for the
| company by the next steamer from Panama. but
finds that he cannot secure passage earlier than.
by the July steamer, and thinks the whole com.
paDy will probably return, and that hundreds of
others will also return by the earliest convey
we have published, that there are some $500
vainy awaiting opportunity to sail for the ssdig-
| gings." Some had been waiting two months.
and many had exhausted their entire means and
were becoming desperate. Two Young men
who recently landed on the Isthmus with each
$1,000, had spent the entire amount in dissipa
ton and gambling, and offered six months faith
tul service at hard labor to any one who would
land them at any port OF the United State. but
conld ind no one to accept their proposition. -.
Unless the great number on the Isthmus shall
soon lind means either to return or 90 on to the
promised land, there must inevitably be much
suffering probably robbery and murder-tor be-
ing out OF money they must steal, rob or starye.
Mr.. X. states that tickets for steerage passaee
in the next steamer from Panama, which here
cost 800, were selling when he lett from $500
to 800. Doe gsnlman, who returned in the
Northerner, sold his ticket Tor $475.
