FROM PANAMA.

Mr.. SYDNEY DowNEs, OF Worcester, Mass.
who went out in the Northerner 10 Charges and
thence to Panama, where, after stopping three
days, he concluded to abandon his journey to
San Francisco and the 'diggngs,' and return in
the Northerner, has favored US with an oral mar.
rative of what he saw and heard, which is not as
hatterlng as some other accounts from THAT quar-
ter.
He says that he left 500 Americans at Pan.
ANA, (some of whom had been awaiting convey
to California for three months) beside 500
more at near Gorgona, and 500 more at and
about Chagres Some had exhausted all their
means, and knew not what to do. meeting
had been held to consider the possibility of rav-
cling thence by land through Central America
and Mexico, but the project was found impracti-
cable for want of roads, water and provisions.
Some would come back to New Orleans, and try
to resume their journey from that point by one OF
the overland routes. OF course the majority
held on to the hope of getting passage by water
to San Francisco, but it was very generally be-
lieved that the California would not be able to
return to the Ishmus very soon--that her crew
would all desert Immediately on reaching San
Francisco.
There was much sickness at Panama as we'll
as on the way across the 1sthmus--dysentery
brain fever, &c., sc. Deaths were frequent
The latest dates at that place from San Fran
cisco came down only to December. Two Brit
ish gentlemen who left at that time came passen.
gers in the Northerner, and Mr.. Downes con-
versed with them very freely. They had been
at the Mines, but were disenchaned. They
had thought they could do as well working for
dollar day about this quarter in digging gold
on the Sacramento. They estimated the average
yield 10 the hand at $5 per day, and the cost OF
living at Sc! OF course, the net profits would
not support mans family very sumptuously-
There were many, to be sure, who did better,

LATER FROM SANTA FE.

Particulars Of the Disaster to FremOnts Party.
From the St. Louis Republican, March 80.
Mr. J, w Folger arrived in this city yesterday
from Santa Fe. From Mr. Folger, we gather
the Information which follows:
Col, Fremont, of whose disastrous expedition
we have already given an imperfect, and in some
respects erroneous account, lett Santa Fe on the
10th ult, on his way to California. OF the dread
tul disaster which befel him in the mountans,we
have this account. The published letters from
Col. Fremont and his friends left him ascending
a mountain and within five or six miles of the
summit. But this elevation he never reached.--
II storm came up, which forced him to retreat,
and to seek shelter in the valley below Here,
it is said, the snow driiied, and accumulated to
the depth OF thirty or forty eet and the party
lost all their animals, and W ere compelled to leave
their entire outfit. The snow covered the ami
mails and every thing else from view, and Col.
r. and his party were driven to seek safety on
the sides OF the mountain.
In this emergency, Bill Williams, a hardy
mountalneer, and two others, volunteered to seek
succor from the nearest settlements; and it was
arranged that they should return in twenty DAYS.
AS they failed to do SO, however, Col Fremont
and one or two others, resolved upon attempting
TO reach Taos; and on the sixth day from Their
leaving camp, they overlook Williams and one OF
District OF Coumbla,) was represented 10 have
died OF the exposure and of hunger, and In the
extremity TO which they were driven, the sur.
vivors were force TO eat part Of his body.
Col Fremont made his way to Taos, obtained
aid, provisions and horses, and then set out in
search OF his party. But more than one third of
his men had, in the interval of his absence, died
from exposure and hunger; and one or two had
given out, and were left to die, when he came
up with them. Capt. Cathcart, Of the English
army, was among the survivors. Col. Fremont
lost his whole outft-his mules, instruments,
baggage, and everything else Of value.
On his arrival at Santa Fe, he was furnished
with horses by the Quartermaster, and with stores
by the Commissary OF the United States, and at
ter recruiting his party he again set off for Cali
taking the route pursued by Col. Cook
in 1847.
Lieutenant Beale, U. S. Navy, was more for
