draft drawn by yohn G. Fremont, Esq,
as governor of California, dated Ange.
les, California, January 25, l848, for
$I,502, and bearing interest at the rate
of two per cent. per month, and again on
the 4th of September, acknowledging
the receipt of your esteemed favor ofAu-
gust 8, returning said draft and inform
ing US that no appropriation had been
made by Congress for payment of drafts
IF this character, but that a bill was be-
fore Congress for this purpose.
In above letter of 4th of September
we made the request that you would be
kind enough to give us your opinion as
to the probability of Congress legalizing
claims of this nature, to which we have
not had the pleasure of your reply.
If, at your leisure, you would be kind
enough to give US this opinion, you would
very much oblige US.

and soon were side by side. Cheers
| went up from those on board, which was
| followed by a swell of voices from
the two shores reaIl y indescribable.
To those on the boats the scene was
one of extraordinary interest. The banks
of the river on the Kentucky shore were
lined with people. On the Ohio side,
the warf seemed a sea of heads, while1
the cleaners at the landing and tho
houses fronting the river were black
with people. And such shouts as fol-
lowed this union of the North and South
we have seldom heard. At this interes-
ting moment the batteries also poured
forth their salutes, while the bands sent

AS soon as the boats touched Col.
Jones, of KY, advanced to the edge Of
the deck, surrounded By Southern SIS
ters, and addressed E. P. Norton, Esq,
of Ohio, who was accompanied by the
lovely representatives of the Northern
States. & reply was made byMr. Norton
1t the close of these addresses, both,
of which called forth frequent cheers,
the bands struck up the" Star Spangled
Banner.'' As the strains of music
reached the shores it was greeted with
every demonstration of enthusiasm.
The Sisters of the South then crossed
to the Hartford City, and formed a cir
Gle with the Sisters of the North around
a guard of four dressed in the continen-f
tai dress, and bearing National flag
The Uuion was complete! This cere-
monyj witnessed from the shores, called
forth renewed end prolonged demonstra-
tions of enthusiasm. The Sisters Of the
South next invited those of the North
to their boat, where the circle was re-
formed. Each lady bore in her hand
small flag having the name of the State
she represented upon it.
After this last Union, those of the
South exchanged flags with those of the
North, making very pretty incident.
The boats, lashed together, then pro-
,eeded up the river, amid shouts from
the masses on the shores and salutes
from the batteries. They proceeded as
ar as the mouth of Deer Greek, and

On Saturday the reports of the w

been q veil of romance sort of charm
thrown around these transactions,
whereby they have evaded public scru-

that, under the glare of mognifed
achieyenents and adventures, they were
covered up speculations and populations
of large. and small degree, yet we con-
Tess we had no adequate conception of
what seems now likely to be unfolded in

But in these reports the connecting cir
cumstances and facts all appear, like the
links in a chain. They follow each 9th
er, and bring the mind irresistibly to a
conclusion fatal to Fremont.
It has been a matter Of wonder how
young army officer, with no known or
visible means or resources, should sud
denly be enabled to establish large
!" ."Tancse," filed with herds of cattle,
60, and enter into supplying Indians
with BEEF in unheard of quantities, and
thus be enabled, in short time, to pre-
fer claim against the government
amounting to several hundred thousands
of dollars. Equally surprising was it
that he shorld have money with which
to purchase . spanish claim to slxty-odd
