 On the 3d of Sept, It. Fremont reached the great Salt Lake of Northern Mexico, and spent a week in surveying t. On the 18th of September he reached Fort Hall; and oil the 18th of October, Fort Mex Perces. On tine 4th of November, he was at the Misslon- ary Station of Dallas, on the Columbla.- This was the northern termination ot hIs journey on the territory of the United States. On. the 26th of November, he commenced the bold project of returning amidst the se- yerities of winter. There was then q heavy fall of snow, Md the thermometer was , deg. below zero Inthe course of a few days he found himself between the river ,aar Chates and the Cascade mountains. Here vast parallel ranges of mountains continued to run southward, and he continued to tra- verse their western base till on the 10th ot December he was at Hamatd Lake. This was probably aboHt the 43 deg. of north latl- tude and 42 deg. of west longitude from Washington. This was a region ot great discovery and extraordinary interest lis animals, were, however, entirely worn down, and there was no prospect of getting east He then determined to cross the Sierra Ner- ida, or great Californian mountains, winch lay between him and the Bay of San Francis co. He did; and the cold month of Februa- ary was consumed in crossing the snows of these lofty mountains. These snoWs were from five to twenty feet deep! Early in March he descended from icy regions to the perpet- ual spring of the Valley of the Sacramento. By the Mexieans he was received and treat ed with great hospitality. At the end of March he proceeded up the valley of the Joaquin river, re=crosslng the Siera at very beautiful pass to the South.

Arrived al the Colorado, he proceeded northeast, passed the Eua Lake, and eneamped at Browns Hole, June 9th, 1844 Crossing the Colo rado, he again passed the Rocky Mountains, and proceeded to the north fork of the Ne braska On the Both of june, he was on the Arkansas; on the 2d of July, returned to the mouth of the kanzas river.

 Such is an outline of one of the longest and most adventurous explorations of oal time That part of the expedition which re- lates to the passage of the Californian noun. tains, the return to Colorado, and the sur vey of that river, must have peculiar inter est, and will be new to the public mind.- The Government deserves credit for the zea
