Frcuiout Is ca route to Arizona, to tiifcc his position as Governor of that Territo ry, lie goes by way of California unci is received with ovations by the people throughout his journey. He has run a remarkable career; is n great man, but not a successful one. Hi victories have turned into defeats and his triumphs into disappoint ments. Perhaps his independence of character lias prevented him from re taining positions which he held and attaining to others to which he was entitled. John C. Fremont was born in Sa vannah, Georgia, January 21st, 1818. His father was a Frenchman and his mother a Virginia lady. At the age of 15 lie entered the junior class of Charleston College. lie made rc markablc progress in mathematics; but owing to frequent absences was dismissed from the school. lie then itirrtged in teaching mathematics and visited South America. Subsequent ly he assisted in various railway sur veys through the mountains in the Southern States. In 1838 lie was made a second lieutenant of topo graphical engineers. In 1S40 he form ed the acquaintance of Miss Jessie Benton, then only 15 years of age, and they were shortly afterwards en gaged to be married. Old Tom Den ton objected and suddenly had the young lieutenant sent out to the fron tier, to survey the Des Moines river. He soon accomplished this and return ed and secretly married Miss Jessie, Oct. 10th, 1311 In 1812 he explored the South Pass and Wind River mountains, the highest peak of which is called Fremont's Peak. In an other expedition in 1843 he reached Halt Lake, in Utah. From there he proceeded to the upper tributaries of the Columbia. In attempting to. re turn by n south-eastern route to the upper Colorado, lie was compelled by the deep snows to take refuge in California. In the spring of 1816, the Mexican war having begun, he con quered all northern California find was elected governor on the 4th of July. Having quarreled with Gen. Kearney he was courtmartialed in 1848, and although not dismissed, rc nigned his commission in the army. In 1813 he fitted out an expedition at his own expense and explored the headwaters of the Rio Grande. lie was elected senator from California and took his seat Sept. 10th, 1850. Ilia anti-slavery principles defeated his re-election. In 1S.W he made a fifth expedition across the continent nt his own expense, enduring great hardships. He was nominated by the republican party for president, in 1856; and carried 11 States, with 114 lcetoral votes, against 19 States, with 174 votes for Buchanan. The popular vote for Fremont was 1,311, 000; for Buchanan 1,838,000 and for Fillmore 8b'4,000. I1 1 was made a major general iu the late war; but ill fortune seemed to attend him, and icn. Popo being appointed to the command of tho Army of Virginia, he declined to serve under an olficcr he ranked, and resigucd. This man rf sully famous will soon assume the position of Governor of Arizona. A constant reader of tho Spirit of the limes writes from Boston: "Through the influence of your pa per nnd n derroto better my condi tion, on August 13th I start for Jicw Mexico, or Colorado, to put $1,000 or $5,000 into the cattle busimns, oud to glvo it my whole time and attention. With fair luck about how should this jian out? Do you know of any better Ktate? What kind of arms should I take?" It will pan out big. Do not know f auy better State, nor ever hoard of $ny bfMor one. You will need arms according to the location. New Mex ico is a large country. In nearly nil parts of the Territory tou tvould not need any arms. In Lincoln county the only effective weapon is a twelve pound canon. Come and pick out your ranch and you can then figure on the arms; tllmote. Occasionally we have to say a word about climate for the benefit of eastern readers. Of course those who have lived here some years know all about it, and as a result, of that knowledge would not live anv place else. The climate of New Mexico is as good as can bo found anywhere. There are some small objectionable features; but what spot can boast perfection. Taking it all in all, winter and sum mer, rainy season and wet, there arc bin few favored lands on the broad earth which can equal it. The winters are warm and the summers arc cool. A high altitude and low latitude give a resultant climate of wonderful CquutWy. . The rainy season co. ..jo Li tin die of cummer and coojs the atmos phere, Iu winter it is dry which has a tendency to moderate the tempera ture. Windy and backward springs arc the wor't feature, but they are com pensated by summer running into fall nnd fall extending away into winter. If a lovely climate is the object New Mexico can provide in abundance. Driven Out. Six wagon loads of emigrants from North and South Spring Hi vcr in Lin coln County passed through town Tuesday going north. They were driven out by the lawless element of that section. They had tried hard to take no part in tho contest and prc fered to leave rather than take either side. About twenty horses had been stolen from tlicin. A deputy bhcriff rode up with u posse and demanded that they take up arms and go with ihem and tight. This they refused to do and loaded up and left the coun try. They left their houses, lauds, lauding crops, gardens and every thing pertaining to comfortable homes. They will seek employment on the railroad. No new county can well afford to lose so industrious and law abiding class of people. Senrcliiny for Knotrlrdge. We arc in receipt of a circular let ter of Frank Warren Angel, Special Agent, Department of Justice and interior, dated at Santa Fe, which contains some nineteen questions, asking principally into any fraud, mismanagement, or improper action of the United States District Attor ney in the management of his ofiicc; and secondarily into the official con duct of any United States official. The questions are very sweeping in character and constitute a kind ci dragnet to rake up anything impro per which may have happened under the present regime. It is something after the maimer of Potter's commit tee to investigate Hayes. Clcnrliie tl e I'ceoa. Col. It. D. Hunter is moving every hoof of cattle he lias on the Pecos across the Staked Plains the Pan handle. He will take part of them to Colorado nnd tho remainder to Wy oming. This move is occasioned by the Lincoln county war. Mr, Cog gius will ntso tend the 8,CC0 head which he bought of Hunter across to the Panhandle. In a few weeks more there will not be a hundred head of stock on the Pecos. So much for the war, a county depopulated and in dustry banished. Six cow-boys had a light with a band of eight Indians, on the Nueces river, Texas, August 12th. They killed four Indians and took one pri soner. Gen. Ord has received positive in- truclions to follow nnd punish nil raiding parlies from Mexico. That order U liable lo lead to wnr. A report has been circulated that Prince Bismark of Germany was as sassinated. It is a rumor claimed to have come by telegraph. Work will be resumed on the South ern Pacific railroad in September, from Yuma eastward through Ari zona. ' The potato crop in Colorado is said to be much better this season than for several years previous. Yellow fever is raging at New Or leans, Port Eads, Vicksburg and Granada. Cardinal Nina has been appointed secretary of state of the Pope. It has been found by experiment that bricks, sandstone, shelly tufa, mortar nnd cement permit vapors to pass freely through them if they are irot kept under wnter, from which fact th conclusion is drawn that houses built in places where danger ous guíes cxíiále from the ground arc not mado absolutely safe from this danger by cementing the cellar floors or lnyinjf them with brick n til.
