We received by yesterdays mail copy of the

ed by the editor of this paper, who is still tempo

extract, which will be read with intense interest.
The Expositor says:
1--WE stop the press o.day, TO announce the ar
rival of Mr.. GREEN JONES, of our town, direct
from Santa Fe. He brings with him the Santa
Fe Republican of the ID February. lS49 from
which we learn that Colonel Fremont and his
party have suffered severely, and some of them
lost. We are gratilied to know that Col. Fremont
himself, is still safe. The whole country must,
and will feel 4 thrilling interest in the narrative
we publish below-taken from the Santa Fe Re-
publican, February 2d. 1t is as follows:
COLONEL FREMONT.
We preseh, TO our readers in this weeks paper
n communication from correspondent at Taos,
relative TO Col. Fremonts unfortunate expedition.
which will be found below.
From the Santa Fe Republican.
DEAR HovEY:-
From the circumstances Of those Who carry this
am compelled to be short.
There is not much novelty in this place, unless
it is the successful. excursion of the commander
of this post and the very unfortunate affair Of
Colonel Fremont.
This enterprising and experienced officer had
started from the United States for California
being in the winter season. and being overaken
by very severe and long snow storm while pass
ing through the mountain gorge. he Colonel
lost some l3O mules in one night. Being left on
foot, the party could scarcely remain where 1t
was and it was deemed impossible 10 proceed.
Finally. the Colonel despatched three men to seek
some settlement which after twenty days absence
and no, returning, the Colonel started for Toas.
in company with one or two men. distance Of
some $50 miles, which he made in nine days.
On his arrival. commander, Maj. Bea,l, issued
an order for 30 days provisions for the detained
pa rty md mules to carry them. O..
Col. Fremont, though much emacated, and in
feeble health, noby resolved 10 accompany the
succor sent out by our humane commander.
The sufferngs of the party have been terribly
severe, even to the extreme OF feeding upon each
other. Both, Col. Fremont and Mnj. BeaII, cer-
tainly deserve great credit in the whole affair, the
one for his perseverance, and humane gallantry
in pe:sislng to return in person to :he succor Of
his companions in misery, and The other for the
promptness and humanity with which he ordered
assistance to be rendered 10 tho unfortunate party.
