More About Col, Fremont’s <a {From the St, Louis Reveille, April 26) Mr. Taplin, one of the sufferers in the disas ae t’« party, is now in this city, pesently befel Col. Fremont’s party, is now in this city. Be has entirely recruited his health an rene! , and, Bhth true Americon perseverence, is making arrange Rents for the second trial of » journey to California The account he gives of the terrible privations and fferings endured by the party to which he was at- fached corresponds in every particular with that of Col. Fremont. The wretchedness of their condition for awhile. he says, passes human conception. ‘Of the ten men who died, two. Messrs. Wise and A’ drews, were well known citizens of this place; Prou was anative of France; Morain, a resident of Illinois, whore relations we believe are in Cahokia; Beadle, a re- sident of this county; Rhorer and King. citizens of Georgetown, D. C.; Hubbard, from Milwaukie, and Car- r from Chicago. ‘The fate of Mr. King was most heart-rending. He was, says Mr. Taplin, a man in the spring time of life, efeultivated mind, and of the most engaging manners, He had been married but two weeks previous to his de- parture on the expedition, and was only # short time with the company ere he had gained ‘the friendship and esteem of every member. When Fremont’s party had first lost their horses, a company of four men, of which King had been appointed leader, were despatch- ed to the settlements to procure succor, Sixteen days after their departure, Fremont (who having become impatient of their protracted stay, had determined to himself in search of supplies) overtook them. He nd Williams, Breckenridge and another, scarcely able to proceed trom exhaustion, King bad died, and his remains, which the party eerried with them, had been more than half eaten up Dy his companions. A dire necessity had left them no ehoice, and it was done in self protection. Up to nearly the day of his death, King had kept a journal. ‘The last entry written upon it is this :—“ Dec. 11th ‘This morning. as usual, I have hada quarrel with Bill Williams. Nothing to eat. We travelled one mile and a half to-day.” The cause of the difficulty with Williams was the latter’s daily increasing weakness, and his inability to proceed. King endeavored by re- monstrances to urge him forward. So long as Fremont remained in the camp, says Mr. Taplin, bis presence was a great encouragement to his men, and they were,as much as could be expected, reconciled to their condition; but, as soon as he left them, to go in quest of assistance, the more inexpe- Fienced members lost all kind of hope. ‘They co sidered their fate already scaled, Thus Morain wan dered in the neighborhood ef the camp in search of game, and finally followed in the footsteps of Col, Fre- Mont, with a desperate hope of overtaking him. He Rad not gone far, however, when total exhaustion com- pelled him to lie down for his final rest, Those in camp (mong whom was Mr. Taplin) who survived, sub- Sisted. as best they could. on raw hide, but this, also, would have failed to sustain them, had not assistance ‘ived as soon as it did. Important rrom Mexico.—We are indebted to a fnend for the following: extract from a letter re- ecived by him yesterday, dated “Matamonos, April 20, 1849.—Paredes is kicking up the devil at present. The pronunciados (insurgents) took San Louis Potosi on the 17th instant, and have marched on Queretaro. The troops sent from here to put down the revolt have pronounced in favor of Pa- redes, and joined the revolutionists as soon as they rossed the mountains.’ Our previous advices from Mexico represented that a formidable insurrection had broken out in the vicinity of San Louis, and that a large body of troops had been sent on by the government to put down the insurgents At is difficult to obtain from our Mexican exchanges a Batisfactory account of any of the movements of the poeple, as they exaggerate the successes of the govern- ment forces, and depreciate the operations of those hostile to the present administration. If the above in- telligence be correct, we may expect the unfortunate republic of Mexico will soon be plunged into the horrors ef anarchy if not a civil war.—New Orleans, Dalta. [Correspondence of the National Intelligencer.] Tamrico, April 13, 1849, In my last I advised you of a party that had marched upon Kio Verde, in the State of San Luis Potosi. They are now advancing upon the city of San Luis, and they have possessed themselves of several small towns on ‘the way. The discontented party here haye been exerting themeelves to get up another revolution; but General Garay, who was left in command, has’ been on the alert. [also learn that General La Vega, and the troops under his command, who left here a few days ago for Tula, are ordered back for the protection of Tampico. By the vigilance of General Garay, we have been saved the miseries of another revolution,— The principal movers in this new drama are Don Pablo Castillin, Don Ramen de la Torra, and Ju- Man Dufart, Last night they called upon some of the principal merchants of the city, and demanded Money to carry out the pronunciamento against the general government of Mexico, bn‘ the merchants po- sitively refused them. In the mean time, Gen, Garay guccecded in having the traitors arrested and placed in close confinement. The history of these men will give some idea of the Mexican character, their want of moral principle, and their instability, Pable Castillin’s first sppearance on the Mexican platform was as a gue- rilla chief, under the auspices of Sauta Anna. But finding his profession not so profitable as his anticipa- tions, his patriotism cooled, and he resigned several months previous to the close of the war. The sinall military force that received the town from the hands of our government could not give proper seeurity to the place, Castillin placed himself at the head of National Guards, and ejected the military and their chiefs as despots. Don Ramon de la Torra has been a Federalisto, a Centralisto, and an advocate for Santa Anna, whilst at the same time one of the movers for the Sierra Madre Fepublic. In fact, he has been all things to all men. jon Julian Dufart, a Frenchman by birth, afterwards obtained American citizenship, and lastly, to suit sin- ister motives, became a citizen of the Mexican re- Public ; showing a strong spirit of hostility against the Aumcrican government previous to the capture of Tam- Pico.

May 6.—Alexander Jones, the negro, found guilty of arson in the first degree on Thursday last, was brought up this morning for rentence. He was put tothe bar, and asked the usual question, had he anything to say why rentence of death should not be passed upon him? The convict muttered something. but so indistinctly we could not catch his words. His honor the Judge then proceeded to make some remarks previous to pas: ing the sentence. He said the crime of which the con- vict bad been found guilty was, that of setting fire to a dwelling-house in the niggt time, to which the law at- tached the penalty of death. and it was the duty of the court to pronounce the sentence of the law upon him. Hight of the jury had recommended him to mercy, but it was proper to admonish hii that the court could not unite in that recommendation. The jurors who had joined in the recommendation were doubtless influenced by the evidence given of his previous good character; but some facts have since come to the knowledge of the court, which, if known on the trial. the jurors would not have joined in the recommendation. |t seems there were three fires in the same vicinity the night you at- tempted to set fire to Webb’s House, and that ‘a week before anothsr attempt was made to fire the same pre- mises. and there is good reason to believe that you were implicated in those incendiary acts. The crime of which you have been convicted is one of the most atr cious crimes known to our laws; itis much more cious than the erin of only one person is aimed at ; moreover, the crime of murder is mostly committed in the heat of passion, and generally preceded by motives of revenge ; but the erime of which you have been found guilty is coolly and deliberately planned, and the lives of numbers of innceent and unoffending people placed in the most im- minent danger ; under these circumstances, the court t unite in the recommendation of the jury. nor can it held out the slightest iti tion of punishment. ‘The sent fore, is. that on Friday, the 22d day of June next, you be hanged by the neck until you are dead, ‘The warrant for his execution was then read, and given to the Sheriff, and the convict was removed by two or three officers, The court then adjourned. ‘The Cireuit Court was opened, and Judge Edmonds pro- ceeded with theljury culendar.

Of the Dominicans three or four hundred were killed, mostly in the battle, A number of women and children in Azua (which town fell into the possession of the conquerers), were also slain. ‘The accounts, however, do not represent that there was any general plunder of the town, or indiscriminate slaughter of its inhabitants, as might have been feared from the undisciplined state of the conquering army. A large quantity of provisions, five thousand stand of arms, and many prisoners, fell into the hands of the Haytiens, From Azua, Soloque continued his march for the eity of St. Domi 0, which would probably full into his hands, together with San- tiago, und the whole of the Spanish part of the island, A pussenger from the Cape gives acurious account of that portion of the Haytien army which started from that quarter. He says that they were barefoot, with- out sleeves or tails to their coats, not a cent in their pockets, nor a mouthful to eat, Ofe march they were obliged to live by forced contribu- tions upon their own countrymen until they reached the frontier. It is actually stated that the Command- ing General, before starting. sent on board one of the vessels in port to beg a few biscuits to put in his knap- sack. The monopoly law, it is now thought, was a very cunningly devised scheme of Soloque to prevent the merchants from meddling in politics, by setting them by the ears among themselves as to the division of coffee, &c. Soloque is a shrewd manager, and is per- haps a better head of the Haytien government than some of his more ignorant and brutal generals, to whom the authority would probably devolve in case of his death or displacement.—Boston Traveller, May 4. Avotuer TRIAL FoR Murver In New Ortrans.— Jose Fuentes was yesterday tried before the First District Court, Judge McHenry presiding, for the murder of a free man of color, named Manuel Ducre, by stabbing him in the abdomen, on the night of the 29th November last, in the fish market of the First Municipality, of which wound he died in two days after, in the Charity Hospital. The proceedings in the case, in detail, are not of suffi cient interest to demand publication. The tes mony was clear and direct, and its general purport may be gathered from the charge of the judge to the jury, as follows :— If the evidence satisfies you that the deoeased was a free man of color; and in the market house, with fish for sule; and that the prisoner, u white person, applied to him to purchase, and offered a certain price, took and removed some of them without paying for the same, or without the consent of the deceased ; and that the deceased took the fish back, offering no vio- lence ; and that, thereupon, the prisoner drew a knife from a sheath, with a blade about six or eight inches in length, and stabbed the deceased, of which wound he died in a few days—it is murder. That it is lawful, in all cases where the punishment denounced by law is death, for you to qualify your verdict, by addin, thereto—without capital puishment ; and that it woul be the duty of the court to sentence him to hard labor for life in the State Penitentiary, For the defence the only evidence was, that the deceased used highly offensive and contumelious language to the prisoner. ‘This was proved by the State witnesses. The fact, however, had no weight upon the jury, who brought in an unqualified ver- dict of guilty, For the State, Attorney-General Elmore and District Attorney Reynolds; for the defence, Messrs.
