_SOXG OF THE SPEAKER . [ Prom tho Examiner .

"Talk—talk—talk ! Whilst the cock is crowing aloof , And talk—talk—talk I Till the stars shine on the roof ; It ' s 0 to be the slave ,

TO THE BADlCAl REFOHMERS , DEMOCRATS , iSD _ATJi THE MES OF _THOORESS IK THE UNITED KINGDOM . Bhethhes , —The National Election and Registration Committee have , since they were called into _« 3 dstence in the year 1816 , felt the necessity of having some clear and distinct guide to complete Hegistration , with a view of placing all who may possess the legal qualification on the Electoral Roll ofthe nation—believing that a vast accession of -strength might thereby be-made to the Radical Electoral Body , and that great progress would be made in the march of Political and Social Progress , and that Chartism would no longer be a name merely , but rapidly approach realisation ; with this -view the Committee appointed a _Sub-Committee ,
who have used their best endeavours to make such a compilation ofthe Reform and Registration Acts -as to bring tlie matter of qualification and registration within the capaoity of the humblest mindtheir sole aim and object being to embrace as large a number of persons as possible within the pale of the Reform Act , aud to have such persons on the Electoral Roll ofthe nation , as will feel it a duty to pledge the elected to support such a measure of Reform as shall embrace every man of sane mind , not -convicted of crime , who shall have been possessed « f a fixed residence of six months * duration , and Such ether necessary concomitants as shall ensure its efficient working for the benefit of the community . The committee , therefore , trusts that every
1-oroush , citv . and county in the kingdom will appreciate tbis _^ their humble effort , and cause it to be _« Ktensivelv circulated , its price placing it within the reach " of all ; and , further , that their brethren ia the various boroughs , cities , and counties , will take the subject of Registration up with a zeal , a determination , and perseverance that shall end in the successful result of returning good working and efficient men , as their representatives , whose honesty and patriotism would tend much to the effecting Parliamentary , Financial , and other Social Reforms , so much needed to ensure the wellbeing and happiness ofthe people . On behalf of the _Committee , James Gkassbt , Secretary .
The Chartist local Councils should nse their best efforts to promote the circulation of this admirable Hand-Boot , and Guide to Political Enfranchisement .

Terrible Sufferings Of Colonel Fremont A...
TERRIBLE SUFFERINGS OF COLONEL FREMONT AND HIS PARTY IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS .
( From the American -National . Litelligencer . of April Hth . ) Letters bare been received from Col . Fremont covering the two months ( fromthe last of November to the 2 nd of February ) , that be was not beard of , and giving terrible events of that time . They are written from Taos and Santa Fe _, New-Mexico , and addressed to Mrs . Fremont , at Washington ; and in her absence , ( for it was deemed probable that she
might have set off to California by sea before tbey could arrive . ) to Senator Benton , and in his absence to William Carey Jones , Esq . The letters came from St . Louis last night , having been brought to that place by . Mr . St . Train . Mrs . Fremont , fortunately , was gone . Senator Benton had delayed his departure for Missouri , confident that letters were on the way ; and in his hands we haye seen the originals , and we propose to give extracts in the order of their dates . The first is dated Taos . New-Mexico , Jan . 27 , 1849 .
I write to you from the bouse of our good friend Carson . This morning a cup of chocolate was brought to me while in bed . To an overworn , overworked , fatigued , and starving traveller , these little luxuries of the world offer an interest which , in your comfortable home , it is not possible _frryou to conceive . I have now the unpleasant ta < k of telling you how I came here . I had much rather speak ofthe future , ( with plans for which I am already occupied , } for the mind turns from the scenes I have witnessed , and the suffering we have endured ; but as clear information is due to you , and to your father still more , I will give yon the story now , instead of waiting to tell it to you in California ; but I write in the great hope that you will not receive this letter . When it reaches Washington you may be on your way to California .
Former letters will have made you acquainted with our progress as far as Bent ' s Fort , and , from report , you will have heard the circumstances of our departure from the Upper Pueblo , near the head of the Arkansas . We left that place on the 25 th of November , with upwards of one hundred good mules and one hundred and thirty bushels of shelled corn , intended to support our animals in the deep snows of the high mountains , and down to the lower parts of the Grand itiver * tributaries , where usually the snow forms no obstacle to winter travelling . At Pueblo I had engaged as aguide an old trapper , named " Bill Williams , " and who had ' spent some twenty-five years of his life in trapping in various parts of the Rocky Mountains .
The error of our expedition was committed in _engaging this man . He proved never to have known , or entirely to have forgotten , the whole country through which we were to pass . We occupied ( after passing the mountain ) more than half a month in making the _progress ofa few days , blundering along a tortuous course through deep snow , which already began to choke up the passes , and wasting our time in searching the way . The 11 th of December we found ourself at the mouth of the Rio del Norte canon , where the river issues from the Sierra San Juan—one of the highest , most rugged , and impracticable of the Rocky Mountain ranges , inaccessible
to trappers and hunters ,- even in summer . Across the p * int of this elevated range our guide _conducted us ; and , having still great confidence in this man ' s know-edge , we pressed onward with fatal resolution . Even along the river _bottoms the snow was already breast deep tor the mules , and fating frequently in the valley and almost constantly on the mountains . The cold was extraordinary . At the warmest hours of th . 3 day ( between one and two ) the . thermometer iFahrenheit ) stood , in the > hade of a tree trunk , at zero ; and that was a favourable day , the sun shining and a moderate breeze . Judge of the nights and the storms !
We pressed up toward the summit , the snow deepening as we rose , and in four or five days of this straggling and climbing , all on foot , we reached the naked ridges which lie above the line of the timbered region , and which form the dividing heights between the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans . Along these naked heights it storms all Winter , and the raging winds sweep across them with remorseless fury . On our first attempt to cross we encountered apouderie —( dry snow driven thick through the air by violent wind , and in which objects are visible only at a short distance)—and were dri venbat-k , having ten or twelve men variously irozen—face , hands , or feet . The guide came near being frozen to death here , nnd dead mules were already lying about the camp
fires . Meantime it showed steadily . The next day ( December — ) we renewed the attempt to scale the summit , and were more fortunate , as it then seemed . Making mauls , and beating d _<> wn a road , or trench , through the deep snow , we forced the ascent in spite ofthe driviHgi > oiKf _« ne , crossed the crest , _descended a little , and encamped immediately below in the edge of the timbered region . The trail showed as if a defeated tarty had passed by—packs , saddles , scattered articles of clothing , and dead mules strewed along . We were encamped about twelve thousand feet above the level of tbe sea . Westward the country was buried in snow . The storm continued . All movement was paralysed . To advance with the expedition was impossible ; to get back , impossible . Our fate stood revealed . We were overtaken by sudden and inevitable ruin . The poor animals were to go first . The only places where grass could be had were the extreme summits ofthe Sierra where the _sweeping
winds kept the rocky ground bare , and where the men could not live . Below , in the timbered region , the poor animals could not get about , the snow being deep enough to bury them alive . It was instantly apparent that we should lose every one . I took my resolution immediately , and determined to recross the mountain back to the valley of the Rio del Norte , _dragging or packing the baggage by " jnen . With great labour the baggage was transported across the crest to the head springs of a little stream leading to the main river . A few days were sufficient to destroy that fine band of mules which y » u saw me purchase last fall on the frontier of Missouri . They generally kept huddled together ; and , as they froze , one would be seen to tumble down , and disappear under the driving snow . Sometimes they would break off , and rush down toward the timber till > topped by the deep snow , where they were soon hidden by the pouderie . The courage of some of the men began io fail .
ln this situation I determined to send in a party to the Spanish settlements of New Mexico for _p-ovisions , and for mules to transport our baggage . With economy , and after we should leave tho mules , we bad not two weeks' provisions in the camp ; and these consisted of a reserve of maccarOni , bacon _, sugar , « fec ., intended for the last extremity . It was indispensable to send for relief . 1 asked for volunteers for the service . Fromthe many that offered lehose King , Br ackehridge , Creutzfeldt , and the guide , Williams ; and placed the party under the command of King , with directions to send me an express in case of the least delay at the settlements . It was the dav after Christmas that this little party
set out for relief . That day , like many Christmas days for years past , was spent by me on the side of the wintry mountain , my heart filled with anxious thought * and gloomy forebodings . Tou may be sure we contrasted it with the Christmas of home , and made warm wishes for your , happiness . Could you have looked into Agrippa ' s glass for a f «» w moments only ! You remember the volumes of " Blackstone _' s Commentaries" which-1 took from your father ' s library when we were overlooking it at our friend Brant ' s ? They made my Christmas " amusements . " I read them to pass the time , and to kill the con > _sciousness of my situation . Certainly , you may suppose that my , first law lessons will be aell remembered . ' . \ " ' ' _" ¦ - • _- ' - - ' - . _-UiUi Jo
The party for relief being gone , we of the camp occupied ourselves in removing the . baggage , and equipage down the jSde of the mountain to the river in the valley , which , we accomplished in a few days . Now came on the tedium of _waUing-fpr " the return of the relef party . Day after day passed , and' no news from them . Snow fell _almost ince _s santly in the mountains . - The spiiits of the camp grew lower .
Life Was Losing Its Charm To Those Who H...
Life was losing its charm to those who had no reasons beyond themselves to live . Proue laid down in the . trail and froze to death . . In a sunshiny day , and having with bim the means to make a fire , he threw his blanket down on the trail , laid down upon it , and laid there till he froze to death ! We were not then with him . Sixteen days passed away , aud no tiding 3 from tbe party sent for relief . I became . oppressed with anxiety , weary of delay , and determined to go myself , both in search of the absent party , and in search of relief in the Mexican settlements . I was aware that our troops in New Mexico had been engaged in hostilities with the Spanish Utahs _, and with the Apaches , who range in the valley ofthe Rio del Norte
and the _mountains where we were , and became fearful that tbey ( King and bis party ) had been cut off by these Indians . I could imagine , no other accident to them . Leaving the camp employed with the baggage , under the command of Vincent Haler , with injunctions to foUW me in three days , . 1 set off down the river with , a small party , consisting of Godey , his young nephew , Preuss and _Saunders ( co l oured servants . ) We carried our arms and provisions for two or three days . In the camp ( left under the command of Vincent Haler ) the messes only had provisions for a few meals , and a supply of five pounds of sugar to each man . If I failed to meet King , my intention was to make the Mexican settlement on the Colorado , a little affluent ofthe Rio del
Norte , about half a degree above Taos , ( you will see it on the map ) , and thence send back the speediest relief possible to the party under Vincent Haler . On tbe second day after leaving the camp , we came upon afresh trail of Indians—two lodges with a considerable number of animals . This did not lessen our uneasiness " for our long-absent people . The Indian trail , where we fell upon it , turned ' and went down the river , and we followed it . On the fifth day ( after leaving the camp ) we surprised an Indian on the ice of the river . He proved to be a Utah , son of a Grand River chief whom we had formerly known , and he- behaved towards us in a friendly manner . We encamped near them at night . By a present of a rifle , my two blankets , and other
promised rewards when we should get in , I prevailed on this Indian to go with ns as a guide to the Little Rio Colorado settlement , and to take with him four of his horses to carry our little baggage . The horses were miserably poor , and could only get along at a slow walk . On tbe next day ( the sixth of our progress ) we left the Indian lodges late and travelled only some six or seven miles . About sunset we discovered a little smoke , in a grove of timber , off from the river , and , thinking" , perhaps , it might be our express parry ( King and his men ) on their return , we went to see . This was tbe twenty-second day since that party had left us , and the sixth since we had left the camp under Vincent Ha _' er . We found themthree of them : Creutzfeldt , Brackenridge , and
Williams— the most , miserable objects I had ever beheld _, [ did , not _recojnise Creutz _' eldt ' s _featu-es , when Brackenridge brought him up and told me his name . They had been starving ! King had starved to death a few day a before . His remains were some six or eight miles above the river . By aid ofthe Indian horses , we carried these three with _ua , down to the valley , to the Pueblo on the Little Colorado , which we reached the fourth day afterward ( the tenth after leaving the camp on the mountains ) , having travelled through snow , and on foot , 160 miles . I look upon the fee ! ing which induced me to set out from the camp as an inspiration . Had I remained there , waiting the return of poor King ' s party , every man of us must have perished .
The morning after reaching the Little Colorado Pueblo ( horses and supplies not being there ) , Godey and I rode on to the Rio Hondo , and thence to Taos , about twenty-five miles , where we found what we needed ; and the next morning _G- * dey , with' four Mexicans , thirty horses or mules , and provisions , set out on his return to the relief of Vincent Haler _' s party . I heard from him at the Little Colorado Pueblo , which he reached the same day he left me , and pressed on the next morning . On the way he received an accession of eight or ten horses , turned over to him by the orders of Major Beall _, of the army , commanding officer of this northern district of _New Mexico . . Prom him I received the < fferof every aid in his power , and such actual assistance as
he was able to render . Some horses , which he had just recovered from Utahs , were loaned . to me , and he supplied me from the Commissary ' s department with provisions , which I c mid . have had nowhere else . I find myself in the midst of friends . With Carson is living Owens . Maxwell is at his father-inlaw ' s , doing a prosperous business as a merchant and contractor for the troops . I remain here with these old comrades , whi _' e Godey goes back ; because it was not necessary for me to go with him , and it was necessary for me to remain , and prepare the means of resuming the expedition to California as soon as he returns with the men left behind . I expect him on Wednesday evening , the 31 st instant , this hems : the 17 th .
Monday , Jan . 29 . —My letter _cssumes , a journal form . No news from Godey . A great deal of falling weather—rain—and sleet here—snow in the mountains . This is to be considered a poor country , mountainous , with but little arable land , and infested with hostile _^ Indians . I am anxiously waiting to hear from my party , and in much uneasiness as to their fate . My presence kept them together and quiet : my absence may have had a bad effect . When we over took King ' s famishing party , Brackenridge said to me *• lie felt himself safe ;" So far the extracts from the first letter , and they are mournful enough . The next , written after the return of Godey , with the survivors of tbe party , will be still more so .
FURTHER ACCOUNTS . _Unparalleled sufferings -separation of the PARTY—KBSOLUTION TO FKED OH THE DEADCONTINUAL DBATHS—FINAL ARRIVAL OF _ASSIST-,. A _** 'CE—THE BAGGAGE LOST—THB ROUTS FINALLY ABANDONED . Taos , New-Mexico , Peb . 0 . 1849 . —After a long delay , which had wearied me to the point of resolving to set out again myself , tiding ¦ have at last reached me from my ill fated party . Mr . Vincent Haler came in last night , having the night before reached the Little Colorado settlement , with three or four others .- Including Mr . King and Mr . Proue , we have lost eleven of our party . ¦ ; Occurrences , since I left them , are briefly these ,
so far as they came within the knowledge of Mr . Haler : I say briefly , because I am now unwilling to force my mind to dwell upon the details ofwhat has been suffered . I need reprieve from terrible contemplations . I am absolutely astonished at this persistence of misfortune-this succession of calamities which no care tr vigilance of mind could foresee or prevent . You will remember that I had left the camp ( twenty-three men ) when I set off with Godey , Preuss and my servant in search of King and help , with directions about the baggage , and with occupation sufficient about it to employ them for three or four days ; after which they were to follow me to the
river . Within that time I expected relief fr _.-m King ' s party , if it came at all . They remained seven days and tben started , their scant provisions about exhausted , and the dead mules on the western side of the great Sierra buried under snow . Manuel —( you will remember Manuel—a Christian Indian ofthe Cosumne tribe in the valley of San Joaquin)—gave way to a feeling of despair after they _h-id moved about two miles , and begged Vincent Haler , whom I had left in command , to shoot him . Failing to find death in that form , he turned and made his way back to tbe camp , intending to die there ; which , he doubtless soon did .
The party moved on , and at ten miles Wise gave out - threw away his gun and blanket—and , a few hundred yards farther , fell over into the snow , and died . Two Indian boys—countrymen of Manuelwere behind . They came upon him—rolled him up in his blanket , and buried him in the snow , on the bink ofthe river . No other died thatday . None tbe next . Carver raved 'during the night—his imagination wholly occupied with images of many things whi-h he fancied himself to be eating . In the morning he wandered off , and psobably soon died , lie was not
seen again . Sorel on this day ( the fourth from the camp ) laid down to die . They , built him a fire , and Morin , who _wasin n . dying condition , and snow-blind , remained with him . These two did not probably last till the next morning . That evening ( I think it was ) Hubbard killed a deer . . . .: Tbey travelled on , getting ho-e and there a grouse , but nohing else , the deep _gnowin theTalley having driven off the gam » . ' , . and
The ' state of the party , became desperate , brought Haler to the determination of breaking it up , in order to prevent them from living ,- upon each other lie told them that he had done all he could for thera-that they had . no other' hope remaining than the expected relief-ami that the best plan was to scatter , and make the best of their way . each as he couldi down the river ; that for - 'himself ,, rf . he was to be eaten , he would , at all events , . be . f ound travelling when he did die * This address had its effect .

Haler learned afterwards from some of the pirty that Kohrer and Andrews wandered off the next morning and died . They saw their bodies . . Haler ' s party continued on ., After a few hours Hubbard gave out . According to the agreement he was left to die , but with such comfort as could be given him . They built hira a fire and gathered him some wood , and then left hira — without turning their heads , as Haler says , to look at him as they went on , , . .
About two miles farther , Scott—you remember him ; he used to shoot birds for you on the frontierhe gave out . He was another ofthe four who had covenanted against waiting for each other . The survivors did for him as they had done for Hubbard , aud passed on . In the afternoon the two Indian boys went ahead -blessedbeth-. se boys ' .-and before nightfall met Godey with the relief . He had gone on with all speed , lhe boys gave him the news . He fired signal guns to notify his approach . Haler heard the guns and knew the erack of our _rifles , and felt . that relief had come . This night was the first of hope and in
joy . Early the morning , with the first gray light Godey was on the trail , and soon met Haler and the wreck or _h-s party slowly advancing . I , hear that they all cried together like _children-these men of _iron _^ nerves and lion hearts , when dangers were to be faced or hardships to be conquered . Succour _wassoon dealt out to these few first met ; and Godey with jus relief , and accompanied by Haler , who turned back , hurriedly followed the back trail ia search of the living and the dead , scattered in the tear . They came to Sc . tt first . He was yet alive , and is saved _Ihey came to Hubbard next : he was dead but still warm . These were the only ones of Haler's party that had beea left .
From Kerne ' s party , next met , they learned the deaths of Andrews and Rohrer , and , a little farther on , met . Ferguson , who told themthat Beadle had died the night before . All the _living were foundand saved—Manuel among them—which looked like a resurrection—and reduces the number of the dead to ten—one-third of the whole party which a few days before were scaling the mountain with me , and battling with tbe elements 12 , 000 feet in theair . Godey had accomplished his mission for the people : a further service had been prescribed bim , that of going to the camp on the river , at the base of the great mountain , to recover the most valuable of the baggage secreted there . With some Mexicans and pack mules he went on ; and this is the last yet heard of him .
Vincent Haler , with Ma _> tin and Bacon , all on foot , and bringing Scott on horseback , ' have just arrived at the outside Pueblo on the Little Colorado . Provisions for their support , and horses for their transport , were left for the others , who preferred to remain where they were , regaining some _srength , till Godey should get back . At the latest , they would have reached the little Pueblo last night . Haler came on to relieve my anxieties , and did well insod » ing : for I was wound up to the point of setting out again . When Godey rcturnsl shall know from him all the circumstances sufficiently in detail to understand clearly everything . : But it will not be necessary to tell you anything farther . You have the results , and sorrow enough in reading them .
Evening .- —How rapid are the changes of life ! A few days ago , I was _struggling through show in the savage wilds of the upper Del Norte—following the course of the frozen river in more than Russian cold —no food—no blanket to cover me iu the long freezing nights—( I had sold my two to the Utah for help to my men ) .- uncertain at what moment of the _niiiht we might be roused by the Indiau rifle—doub-ful , very doubtful , whether I should ever see you or friends again . Now I am seated by a cmfortable fire , alone—pursuing my own thoughts—writing to you in the . certainty of reaching you—a French volume of Balzac on the table—a print of the landing of Columbus before me—listening in safety to the raging storm without .
You will wish to know what effect the scenes I have passed through have had upon me . In person , none . The destruction of my party , and the loss of friends , are causes of grief : but I have not been injured in body or mind . Both have been strained , and severely taxed , but neither hurt . I have seen one or the other , and sometimes both , give way in strong frames , strong minds , and stout hearts : but , as heretofore , I have come out unhurt . I believe that the remembrance of friends sometimes gives us a power of resistance which the desire to save our own lives could never call up .
I have made my preparations to proceed . I shall have to follow the old Gila Road , and slnH move rapidly , and expect to be in California in March , ant to find letters from home and a supply of newspapers and documents , more welcome , perhaps , because these things have a home look about them . The future occupies me . Our home in . _California—your arrival in April—your good health in that delightful climate—the _finishing up my geographical and astronomical labours—my farming enjoyments . I have written to Messrs . Mayhew & Co . agricultural warehouse , New- "York , requesting them to ship me immediately a threshing machine ; and to Messrs . H « e and Co ., same city , requesting them to forward
me at San Francisco two runs or sets of mill stones . The mill irons and tne agricultural instruments shipped for me last autumn from New-York will be at San Francisco by the time I arrive thero . Your arrival in April will complete all the plans . " ( These extracts in relation to Col . Ft emont's intended pursuits are given to contradict the unfounded supposition of gold projects attributed to him by some newspapers . The word gold is not mentioned in his _le'tersf'om one end to tho other , ' nor did he take {¦ old . mining the least into his calculation when he left Missouri on the 21 st of October last , ulthough the authentic reports brought in by Lieut . Beale , of the Navy , were then in all the newspapers , and fully known to him . )
February 11 . —Godey has got back . He did not succeed in recovering any ofthe baggage or camp furniture . Everything was lost except some few things which I had brought down to the river . The depth of the snow made it . impossible for bim to reach the camp at the mountain where the men h » d left the baggage .
