SAD AFFAIR AT THE WHITE MOUNTAINS.
From private letters learn that young Eng
ljshman. named Strickland, of Sir George
Strickland, an eminent English baronet and
member of Parliament, persisted in the snow on
the White mountains, in New Hampshire, the
18th instant He arrived in this country a few
months since, bringing letters 10 some Of most
distinguished citizens, from whom he received
every attention At the instance of Professor Agas-
sig and other friends, he undertook journey to the
White mountains He arrived at the Notch house
ON last Thursday lie DESTROYS Of ascending
Mount Washington. Mr.. Crawford, his host, earn
esty besought him not to make the attempts the
roads being covered with snow intercepted in
many places by runlets of water which rendered
travelling unsafe Mr.. Strickland, imagining that
Mr.. Crawford wanted to prevent his putting up at
a rival house. turned deaf ear to all attempts at
dissuasion. An English traveller and guide
started with him, and they went together far as
Mount Pleasant. Here his companions declared
their intention of turning back to the Notch house.
Strickland obstnately persisted in taking the route
known Fabyan's path, back to the stage road.
In vain did they demonstrate and plead with him.
Neither warning nor solicitation could induce him
to abandon his plan; and he accordingly parted
from his companions.
On Friday, Mr.. Crawford called at Fabyans,
and learned that Strickland had not arrived there.
A search was Immediately instituted; but it was
not until Sunday that they found his body. His
clothes had been previously discovered in hole in
the Ammonoosuck river, where il not more
than two feet wide. His body, much bruised and
lacerated, was discovered about mile from this
spot 1t is supposed that he fell into the water and
finding that he should freeze, in his desperation
threw of his clothes. Another conjecture is, that
he discarded them, while suffering under mental
alteration. Mr.. Strickland the heir to i'm
mense estates in England. He was graduate of
the University of Cambridge and about thirty five
years of age He had commended himself, while
here, to many literary friends, by whom his sad
fate is much depiored.

Of Tehuantepec, is attracting much atten-
ton at this time, and particularly in New
Orleans. We are hardly less interested
IN the subject than our friends of New
Orleans; indeed, it is a matter of import
auce to the people of all the Gulf and south
Atlantic States: Texas, Louisiana, Missis-
sppi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.
So well convinced are we of this, that we
propose to turn to the subject in few
days, with view TO lay before our read
ers certain facts and statistics, which can
not fail, we believe to bring them to a
like conclusion"

Extract of letter from Col. Fremont TO
Col. Benton, dated
MONTEREY, June

vi. DcHloti, udtCu
MONTEREY, June 81, 1S49.
81 shall be anxious to receive the best
information relative to your plan for the
ralroad--what the prospects are for its
adoption, and towards what point of this
country it will probably be directed.
"ln conversing with Mr.. Butler King
and General Persifer Smith, few days
since, this road was subject Of general
interest. | mentioned that the line ex-
plored in my last journey was admirably
calculated Tor the road, passing the noun
tains between the Arkansas and the Del
Norte, with scarcely an inequality of pro-
file, and with knowledge obtained since
our disaster showed would have been the
character of its extension further west, to
the Great Basin. A reference to the map
will show you that this line crosses the
valley OF the Del Norte at the north
ern edge OF the New Mexican settlements,
handsome and fertile country, whence a
branch road might be thrown down the
valley of the river and through the settle
ments, to Santa Fe. The road would
enter the basin at the southern end of the
Mormon settlements, and cross by way Of
Humboldt river. About midway of that
rivers course, large valley opens into it,
and up this hes an ercellent aoay to a lon
pass near the head Of The lower Sacramento
GALLEY. Before reaching this pass, way
diverging to the north affords very prac-
ticable bailey road into Oregon, and, i'll my
opinion, far the best by which you can
reach that country.
Immediately after this conversation,
Gen. Smith determined upon party to
explore that part Of the route which have
last described, with view to report
upon it at the ensuing session of Congress.
He afterward called upon u to request
that would send him written commu-
nication, to the same effect, in order that
hereafter the credit of the suggestion
might remain with me. 1t is not pleasant
to see the work pass into other hands, but
private means are inadequate to such un-
dertalings here"

enjoyed SO large share of public patronage, and
which has been very literally continued to his
