Mrs. FRENoNT.-This lady, it is not neces-
sary to inform our readers, is the daughter of
Colonel Benton, Of Missouri, and Is one Of the
best educated and most accomplished of
American women. The Boston Chronicle
relates the following anccdote concerning
her w hile Colonel Fremont was making
his arrangements on our western frontier,
for that exploring tour in which he broke
his road into the valley of the Sacramento, his
young wife in Washington, according to his
request, opened all letters addressed to him
there, and forwarded such as she deemed it
/ important Tor him to see. Among the rest
she opened a government despatch coHHir-
maHdiHg hiSfOHr the fruit, perhaps, of ia
lousy in superior official station. \ most
loving wife, as she had proved herself to he,
must have been under strong temptation to
forward that but, happily for the world,
| she took the responsibility of keeping it, and
/ neither her husband nor any one else except
/ the poor lite Barnacle who sent it, knew any
/ thing Of the matter till Col, Fremont return
/ ed, having glorlously effected the objects Of
the expedition.
Once more during the protracted strug-
/ gle which resulted in the election of Mr..
Banks to the speakership, there happened to
be fellow passengers in crowded car be
tween Washington and Baltimore, a Boston
ldl' hs ItlhbThdbc as any Ollcr IN TINS city
for his suhserylency to the Shareholders, and
u lady, admired beyond most others in Wash
ington society for the brilliancy of her wit
and the intelligent interest which she takes
in public affairs. The conversation, OF
which she was the centre, turning on the
great contest in the House, she expressed her
decided sympathy for the Republican side
exulted IN ITS prospect of success, and com
Plimented Mr.. Banks in tie highest terms
This was too much for the Bostonian who
expressed bis surprise that a Southern lady
should countenance such a d magogue al
Banks, and such an enemy to Southern inst
tutions. The lady replied, | can reley,
your surprise in regard to myself, sir, for my
husband, Col Fremont, is Free Soiler bu
let me express my surprise, that you, sir,
Northern er and Bostonian, should oppos,
Mr.. Banks in behalf Of Southern institutions
As the Bostonian who met with this terrible
rebuke was candid enough to tell the stor,
on his return, we iorbear TO give his name
in the hope that it has made him wiser an,
better man.
