Col. Fremont and Lieut. Beale or
their WaytO CaIifOrnia--EXtent OF
the DisnsIer 20 FrCmOnI's PnrIy.

We have already given telegraphic
accounts of the terrible disaster that befsl
Col. Fremont and his party in the noun
tains, but the following details from the
St. Louis Republican of the Both ult.,
will be found Of stirring interest:
The published letters from Col. Fre-
mont and his friends left him ascending
mountain and within FIVE or six miles
of.the summit. But this elevation he nev-
er reached. A storm came up, which
forced him to retreat, and to seek shelter
in the valley below.--Here. it is said. the
snow driited, and accumulated to the
depth of thirty or forty feet, and the par
ty lost all the animals. and were COM
PEELED to leave their entire outfit. The
snow covered the animals aud every thing
else from view, and Col. F. and his par
ty we're driven to seek safety on the sides
of the mountain.
In this emergency, Bill Williams. a
hardy mountaneer, and two others, vol
unteered 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 at
tempting to reach Taos; and on the sixth
day from their leaving camp, they over
took Williams and one Of his companions
The other (Mr. King, of the District Of
Columbia.) was represented to have died
of the exposure and Of hunger; and in
the extremely to which they were driven
the survivors were forced to eat part oI
his body.
COL Fremont made his way to Taos
obtained aid, provisions and horses, and
then set out in search of his party. BuI
more than one.third of his men had in the
interval of his absence, died from expo
sure and hunger; and one or two had Civ
on out, and were left to die, when he
came up with them. The number whC
thus perished is stated at eleven, of whom
we have the names of only three-Mr
Wise, of St. Louis county, and Mr.. King
and Mr. Preuss, of the District of Colum
bia. Captain Cathcurt. of :he Englisl
army, was among the survivors. Col
Fremont lost his whole outfit-his mules
instruments, baggage, and every thing
else Of value.
On his arrival at Santa Fe. he wa
furnished with horses by the Quartermas
ter. and with stores by the Commissary o
the United States, and after recruiting
his party, he again set off for California
taking the route pursued by Col. Cook ii
, 1S47. He and his party have suffered
, terribly in this expedition. and it will b.
warning to all others never to attemp
3 such journey in mid.winter.
e Lieutenant Beale, United States Navy
was more fortunate than Col. Fremont
, He prosecuted his journey to Santa Fe
:, and reached there without much difficuI
i. ty. Mr.. Folgcr left him at Scorro, o
= Cooks route to California, in exceller
health, and quite songuine of reachin
|, his destination in thirty days.
l.. F. Thurston, Esq, died at SAINT
Fe during the winter. He had filed se'
al eral important stations under the me-
government.

We refer our readers, one and all, to
the good. old fashioned, democratic let
ter Ofthat good, old fashioned Democrat,
familiarly called Tom JEFFERSON.
If we rightly remember, this man, who
has been styled the Father Of Democrn.
cy, lived about the year 1890, little be-
fore that time and little after. We
think he had something to say in Revolu-
tiunary times about Equality and Free.
dom, and if we are not misinformed he
had some little to say in the formation of
our glorious Constitution. Ifthe records
don't lie, he served once as President, "a
bout the time Federalism became extinct
We remember also to have heard our
Fathers, who were also Democrats, say
that this same man, Tom JEFFERSON, was
a pure genuine Democrat, and that he
was selected to preside over the desti.
nieS of our happy country, when the peo-
pie became tired Of Federalism.
We also remember something in the
text books of Politics, which he should
have said and which are embodied, in
somewhat different language, in this let
ter. He said, speaking of Office holders,
that "few died, none resigned" but he al
so said that, when vacancy did occur,
he should certainly ask the questions
"ls he honestl Is he capable? Is he
faithfulP And it will be seen that he
was also ofthe opinion that party, who
had been prescribed for only four years,
were certainly entitled to some consider.
alton when the people had ordered
change. Had this prescription been car
ried or for t'ceaty years, we know not
what his opinions might have been-of
that our readers must judge.
It's highly proper and beneficial, at
certain times and in certain places, to stir
up these old fashioned documents, by
way of remembrance.
About six months ago, the people, who
had become tired of Locofscoism, con-
cluded to make another change of men
and measures, ,and to accomplish this, their
affection naturally turned upon a man.
who was an old fashioned Democrat, pro-
Tossing the same principles and entertain
ing the same opinions as those Of him,
styled the Father of Democracy. The
change was effected. And now that he
chooses to follow in the footsteps ofhis
"illustrious predecessor" the cry is rails
ed-"heads ofr'-and the poor devils,
who have grown fat, hanging on to the
Treasury teal, whine like some six weeks,
pup dragged from its usual allowance
1t is strange, passing strange, that the
individuals, who pretend to hold this
great man as their Father and their God,
should so far forget themselves as to re.
vile and vilify him, who as near as man
can do, approaches to the full.stature Of
Tom JEFFERSON. 1t is strange we say,
ye; the case is not an isolated one. An
old Book, not much read by some men, in
this our day, tells OF man, who betrayed
his Master, for about the same reason
a few pieces ofsilver-yet that man also
! professed to be disciple of him whom
he so summarily betrayed.
D But the letter-read it.

For MARSHAL.

There was considerable excitement
manifested, but the contest waxed 6erc-
est between the Northerns and Southerns.
All other interests, political, social and
civil, were almost entirely annihilated.
The Southerns claim the triumph, and as
we ale part and parcel of the confedera-
cy of the south it might be expected that
we would stick up the "rooster;" but we
were on another tack and confess our
selves utterly, overwhelmingly, entirely
and completely routed, as military men
would say, "horse, foot and Dragons"
The cry OF northern men with south
ern principles" and of "sontnern men
with northern principles" was too po-
tent to be withstood, and all, who did not
"facet the music" of the one or other par
ty, were backed by train of friends, as
the dutchman who had the orchard would
say, consisting of one "scdtte,iRg" mar
and boy.
We trust that our friends. from the a
bovc list of candidates. will be convinced
that Lancaster is great place, and tha
the Office of Trustee is great Office.
We think ofssnding copy of our pa
per to poor LEWIS CAss for reflection ant
consolation. 1t will be matter Of graft
fication to him to find that he is not alone
in his aflliction. and in looking over th'
list, he can exclaim, "hele, too, are mar
tyrs to sectional influence"
