Lieut. Col, Fremont has gone out with an ex-
porlng party to cross over the head waters OF the
Colorado, and thence to pursue that unknown river
down to the Gull of California; this will enable
him to complete the geography of the region west
of the Rocky Mountains. And his will be the
credit OF the work Of mapping down hitherto un-
known desert country, Its mountains, lakes, sngu-
comprehendipg from eight to ten degrees OF latl-
tude and longitude, including the beautiful pro-
ductve gold dust country west OF these deserts,
the Pacific. And yet 1t Is strange, that after ira

butary OF these rivers, and every hut and mission,

every tree, and describing every plant, camping
tor months along the gold digglngs, and examining
the soil and the rocks, day after day-t does ap-
pear strange that he did not discover the gold dust
over which he pitched his tent night after night
II also. appears strange that one and all of the
scientific attaches ct the army, located and ira

of the war with Mexico, while playing among the
