and Fever, in all it* varTP' 1 forms. Al
so, an exooilent Tonic in Dyspepsia,
ofthe Heart, Loss of Appetite, Neuralgia, Nerv
ous and other diseases, which arise from a weak
and debilitated condition ofthe system.
These pill* are prepared by Dr. G. K. Tyler, a
regularly educated physiciari, who from many
years experience, can confidently recommend
them a* the best remedy for Ague and Fever ever
offered to the public ; having frequently tested
their great curative power upon those who ha‘d
long suffered under the troublesome and danger
ous diseases.
Several eminent physicians who have obtained
a high standing for their successful treatment ot
Ague and Fever, use this preparation, and assert
that they have never known a single instance
where it was taken as directed, that it did not
effect a permanent and lasting ctire. ■
These pills contain neither mercury orarsenic,
nor any thing that can injure the.system—but on
the contrary, may be taken where a medicine of
this kind is needed, not only with perfect safety,
but with the most decided advantage.

matory, Nervous and Putrid Fever, Pain in
the Head, Side, Back and Stomach ; Inflam
mation of the Brain, Stomach, Lungs, Liver,

DR. GORDON’S PILLS. are truly the sick
mm's friend. No Traveller or Family
should be without them. Their timely adminis
tration will prevent much pain and suffering, and
save many valuable lives. .
These Pills were compounded by Dr. Gordon
after year* of study and careful observation upon
the nature of different medicines, and the effect
which they produce upon different constitutions
in various forms of disease. They have been ex
tensively used by some ’ofQur most eminent
Physicians, and by many private families for sev
eral years; and such has been tne satisfaction
which Uiey have given, that it is firmly believed
that the vegetable kingdom .does not furnish any
materials for.a purgative medicine, which sur
passes for general use, those of which these pills
are composed. They do not contain Calomel,
Mercury or any mineral preparation ; but are
composed entirely of concentrated vegetable
extracts, carefully prepared and so combined as
to be Certain, Sitfe, and Easy in their operation
—should it be otherwise, the stomach and bowels
contain foul and acrid bilious matter —showing
great necessity for purgative medicine.
The Bowels being the principal channel th rough
which a great portion ofthe impurities ofthe sys
tem-are discharged, it is evident that whatever
acts beneficially on them must be conducive to
health.
If a physician is called to a patient, what is the
first thing done I He prescribes a dose or two of
purgative medicines; and then, after a day or
two, if the patient is no better, he gives him an
other dose of purgative medicine, and so on ; do
ing some other little things—but the main reli
ance for a cure is upon the effect produced by
purgative medicines. Therefore if you are sick
delay not, but take a few doses of Dr. Gordon’s
Vegetable Family Pills, and be again restored to
health. For sale by

afflicted, it is PETER’S VEGETABLE PlLL’S—
the vast number of persons they have cured of
Liver Disease, Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Bilious
and all diseases arising from a derangement of the
organs ofthe stomach, warrants thetfssertien that
if any person thus afflicted will use them, they
cannot fail to cure. Thousands of cases have
been cured, and their certificates could be pub
lished, but for the want of space we must forbear,
and say, the trial of a box will be more satisfac
tion than a thousand certificates.

these Pills, and the numerous cases they have

HAMILTON FEMALE SEMINARy7
THE undersigned, citizens of Hamilton,
take great pleasure in announcing to Parents
residing in Harris and the adjoining counties,
who Wish to have their daughters thoroughly in
structed, morally and intellectually, that they
have secured the services of Miss Mary A. and
Miss Amanda C. Wilson, for the ensuing scho
lastic year. In addition to the facilities usually
enjoyed at other institutions for the acquirement
of knowledge, the Hamilton Female Seminary
will afford many that are peculiar. Not the least
of these advantages, in the opinion of the sub
scribers, is that it will be under the exclusive con
trol of young ladies,-who are sufficiently experi
enced, and who are deficient in no qualification
requisite to a faithful and judicious performance
of the task they will undertake. It will be ob
served by aglance at the list of studies pursued
in the different departments, that no usefulbranch
of education is omitted,’ and that the pupils of
this Seminary will have no cause to lament the
inadequacy ofthe Course. But besides this, the
Misses Wilson have exhibited to the subscribers
the most satisfactory testimonials oftheir exalted
moral worth, amiability of manners, and their
competency to impart a full khowledge ofthose
sciences included in the subjoined course ofin
struction. Parents who reason correctly upon
the subject of education, will estimate vqry high
ly these unrivaled advantages. . -

OPERATIONS OP CAPTAIN FRE
MONT IN UPPER CALIFORNIA.
Leiter from Senator Benton to the-President.
Sin.: In the absence of official information on
the subject of Lieutenant Colonel (then Cap
tain) Fremont’s operations in Upper California,
.1 deem it my duty to lay before you the private
letters which I have received from that OiHci r.
for the purpose of showing you his actual posi
tion at the latest dates; the unwilling manner ut
which he became involved m hostilities with
the Mexican authorities of that province, before
he hau heard of the war with Mexico; and espe
cially to disprove the accusation, officially made
against him by Governor Castro, of having come
into California with a body of United States
troops, under the pretext of a scientific expedi
tion, but in reality to excite the Americans set
tled in that province to an insurrection against
the Mexican government. This accusation is
of s rWrew t-s—most seriously impli
cating the good faith and honor of olif ~gmrrn
ment, and officially made by Governor Castro,
in a despatch to the minister of war and marine,
under date of the first April last, and published
in El Monitor Republicano, in the city of Mex
ico, by the order of the Mexican government,
on the 10th of May last. A copy of this paper
was sent to Mrs. Fremont, my daughter, by the
Hon. Mr. Slidell, and an English translation of
it therewith presented.
When Capt. Fremont left the United States
to complete his scientific labors beyond the Rockv
mountains, it was with a full knowledge of the
political as well as personal difficulties of the
enterprise. He knew that the relations of the
United Spates wore Critical both with Mexico
and Great Britain—that he was gbing through
the teritories of the one, and among the settle
ments of the,other —that jealousy would attach
to his movements, and all his acts referred to his
government;—and he was perfectly determined
to use the utmost circumspection in all his con
duct, confining himself wholly to his scientific
pursuits, and carefully avoiding as well the ap
pearance as the reality of either a political or
military mission. With this view and, after
having traversed the desert, and crossed the
Great Basin which lies between the Rocky moun
tains and the Sierra Nevada of the Alta Cali
fornia, he left men upon the frontier, an hun
dred miles from Monterey, and went alone to
that city to explain his object and wishes in per
son to Gov. Castro. He did this in the most
formal and official manner, in company with the
United States consul, Mr. O’Larkin, (at whose
house he stopped, and conforming to the whole
detail of Spanish ceremonial, he not only called
on the governor, but also on the perfect and the
alcalde. The interview was entirely satisfac
torily. To the governor’s remark that he was
bringing a considerable body of United States
troops with him, Capt. F. answered that it was
not so—that he had no troops at all—only a few
hired men for security against Indians, and kill
ing game—that he was not even an officer of
the line, but of Topographical Engineers that he
was seeking anew route (among the objects of,
science) to the mouth of the Columbia, upon a
line further south than the present travelling
route, and which had brought him through the
unsettled parts of the Upper California; and that
he now wished to winter in the valley of the
San Joaquin, where there was game for his men
and grass for his horses. To this the governor
agreed, and Capt. Fremont left Monterey to
bring his men to the beautiful valley which he
had explored in his previous expedition, and to
which both himself and his men looked forward,
as to a paradise of repose and refreshment, after
their toilsome and perilous march of three thou
sand miles among savage tribes, through wilder
and desert countries.
Scarcely had he arrived in this valley, when
information began to reach him from all quarters
that the governor was raising the province a
gainst him and coming upon him with troops of
all arms—cavalry, artilbry and infantry—and
that his situation was most critical and danger
ous. The consul sent a special messenger to
warn him of his danger; the American settlers
below offered to join him; but he utterly ref used
their assistance, because he would not compro
mise them. But he did what honor and self
preservation required, and what the courage and
fidelity of his men enthusiastically stconded; he
took a position, and waited the approach of the
assailants; and that position was nearer to them,
on the summit of the Sierra, overlooking Mon
terey, at thirty miles distance, and whence, with
their glasses, they could plainly see the troops
with their artillery, which had crossed the bay
(of Montery) to San Juan, on their way to at
tack him. The governor, with these troops,
and with all his threats, after coming towards
the camp on the Sierra, he did not come to it;
and Captain Fremont, faithful to his design to
avoid a collision, if possible, finding himself not
attacked, determined to retire, and proceed to
Oregon, on his intended route on the valley of
the Sacramento, the Tiamatb lake, and the val
ley of the Wahlahmath river. Accordingly, a
bout the 10th of March, he left his position on
Sierra, descended into the valley of the San Joa
quin, and commenced his marcii by slow and
easy stages, of four and six miles a day, towards
Oregon.
It is of this encampment on the Sierra that
Governor Castro makes particular complaint in
his despatch to the Minister of War and Marine,
as an evidence of hostile intentions, and whefc
the American flag was raised, a fortification
built and the American settlers called in for its
defence. Unhappily we have no letter from
Capt. Fremont detailing theevents of these days;
but the want of such a letter is well supplied by
the official communications from the American
consul at Monterey to our Secretary of State,
and by Capt. Fremont’s brief note to the consul,
(written in pencil,) while expecting the attack
of Gov. Castro, and which ha3 been heretofore
published in our papers. Mr. Buchanan fur
nished us, as soon as they were received, with
copies of these despatches, which are herewith
laid before you, and from which it will be seen
that Gov. Castro’s accusations against Capt. Fre
mont are entirely unfounded—that so far from
having excited the Americans to revolt,. he ab
solutely refused to receive those who offered to
join him! and, more, that when after leaving
this position, and granting discharges to five or
six men, he refused to fill their places from the
meh in the country ! so determined was he to
avoid as well in appearance, as in fact, the sindl
e*t act offensive or injurious to the Mexican au
thorities. The same correspondence shows the
entire falsehood of all the superlative gasconade
which Governor Castro put into his official re
port about the spoils of the camp—the disper
sion of Fremont and his men—their flight into
the bulrushes, and through the desert—his suf
focation in the cradle of a dangerous conspiracy,
&c., with all which imaginary exploits -his offi
cial despatch was filled, while Fremont with six
ty-two men and two hundred hones, were slow
ly ret ring in a body in his vieto, and utterly ab
staining from any act of offence to the province
or its authorities. no doubt this false re
port to'his government, and the ridicule he in
curred by it in California, that led to bis subse
quent operations in May to exterminate Fre
mont’s party and all the American settlers on the
Sacramento.
On his return from the evacuated camp on, the
Sierra , the governor also put forth a proclamation,
in the vein of bis report, and even worse, styling
Fremont and his men a band of highway rob
bers, plundering the people, &c., which accusa
tion of plundering, the consul took the trouble to
investigate, and found to be trival offence of
manners (not of law or morals) which the in
jured party valued at five dollars, and for which
Capt. Fremont gave ten. For the rent, the n*i-
sul, after all this declares the inhabitants of the
country to be well pleased with Capt. F., and that
he might walk the strecteof Monterey the next
day alone, if he choose. The only truth in Gov;
Castro’s despatch is, that Captain Fremont took
a military position, entrenched it, and raised tue
Amercan flag; but these events were the const
tjtitnce, and not the cause af Gov. Castro’s
movement against him; and this is fully shown
Ht that brief, heroic note, written in pencil, in
answer to the consul’s warning, in which Capt.
I remont, after refusing the aid of the Ameri
can settlers, declared for himself and his sixty
two men that they bad done nothing wrong to
the authorities or the people of the country—
that if attacked they would defend themselves, &
die to the last man under the flag of their route*
try, and leave it to their country to avenge their
deaths. All they did was in self-defence.-
The flag was raised, not as a standard of insur
rection, or as a sign of contempt to the Mexican
1 government, hut as the American symbol of hon
or and patriotism, which was entitled to respect
from others—to defence from them—and which
they had displayed in that hour of ganger as si
warning to (he approaching assailants—as si
bond of union and devotion aiponr themselves—
anJ as an appeal and invocation (if they should
be destroyed) to the avenging spirit of their far
distant country. To my mini?, this entrenching
on the mountain, and raising the national flag,
was entirely justifiable under tho circumstance!
of tlie case; and the noble resolution which they
took (revising the aid of’ their countrymen) tc*
die if attacked under the flag of country, four
thousand miletf distant lrom their homes, waa an
act of the highest heroism, worthy to be record
ed by Xenophon, and reflecting equal honor up*
on the brave young officer who commanded and
the heroic siiti-two by whom he was sup
ported. _
“The hrst letter that wo received from Capt.
Fremont after his withdrawal from the Sierra,
and from the valley of the San Juan, is dated
the Ist es April in latitude 40, on the Sacramen
to river; and, though written merely to inform
Mrs. Fremont of his personal concerns, becomes
important in a public point of view on account
of subsequent events in Juno gud July, by show
ing that on the first of April he was on his way
to Oregon—that he had abandoned all intention
of returning through any port of California—
would cross the Rocky mountains through the
Northern Pass on the line between the Upper, or
Kettle Falls of the Columbia, and the Great
Falls of the Missouri—and be in the United
States in September. This shows that he had,
at that time, no idea of the events in which he
was subsequently involved, and that he had aban
doned the cherished field of his intended scienti
fic researches for the express purpose of avoiding
all offence to the Mexican authorities. Os the
events in the valley of the San Joaquin and the
camp on the Sierra, he speaks a few words,
without detail, but descriptive of his condition,
chary cteristic of his prudence in not compromis
ing his country, and worthy to be repeated in his
own language. He says: “The Spaniards
were somewhat rude and inhospitable below, and
ordered me out of the country after having given
me permission to winter there. My senso of
duty did not permit me to fight them, but w©
retired slowly and growlingly before a force of
three or four hundred men, and three pieces of
artillery. Without the shadow of a cause the
governor suddenly raised the whole country
against me, issuing a false and scandalous pro
clamation. Os course, I did not dare to compro
mise the United States, against which appearan
ces would have been strong; but though it was
in my power to increase my party by Americans,
I retrained from committing a solitary act of ho©>
tility or impropriety.” H*s next letter is dated
the 14th of May, and informs me that, in his
progress to Oregon, he found himself and party
unexpectedly attacked by the Tlarnath Indians
—the most wariike of that quarter—had lost
Jive men in killed and wounded—and* still ex
alted to be in the United States in Me month
of W
Thiswl|uhe only letter received faJtn Capt Fre
mont until trN||u|e of July 26th, fpm Monterey,
of the Pacific
dore bloat. The wldrli brought him
back you have learned IVteu/that commodore ;
but the causes which led events are ne
cessary to be known for of Capt.
Fremont ; for, allhoughatually jltaified by the
existence of the war,
nothing of the war wbfln these events
and though knowindfft it when he he
wou and not avail hinplf of his subsequent kncNte
edge to justify pimous acts, and therefore
to rest every thim upon the state of facts, as he
saw them when ne resolved and acted. Thcso
causes, and the event to which they led, are ra
pidly sketched by him in this,his last letter:
and while the whole letter is herewith submitted
to you, yet, for your convenience, I collect its
substance into the smallest compass and lay it
before you. The substance is this: At the mid
dle of May, Capt. Fremont, in pursuance of his
design to reach Oregon, and return by the Col
umbia and Misouri through the Northern Fasa
in the Rocky Mountains, had arrived at the
Tlamath Lake, in the edge of the Oregon Terri
tory, when he found his further progress com
pletely barred by the double obstacle of hostile
Indians, which Castro has excited against him,
and the lolty mountains, covered with deep and
falling snow, which made the middle of May in
that elevated region the same as the middle of
winter. These were the difficulties and dangers
in front. Behind, and on the north bank of the
San Francisco Bay, at the military post of So r
noma, was Gen. Castro, assembling troops with
the avowed intention ofattuck ng both Fremont’s
party, and all the American settlers, against
whom the Indians had been already excited.
Thus, his passage barred in front by impassable
snows and mountains, hemmed in by savage In
dians, who were thinning the ranks of his little
party —menaced by a general at the head of ten
fold forces of all arms—the American settlers in
California marked out for on a false
accusation of meditating a revolt"uiider his insti
gation—his men and horses suffering from fa
tigue, cold, and famine—and after the most anx
ious deliberation upon all the dangers of his posi
tion, and upon all the responsibilities of his con
duct, Capt. Fremont determined to turn upon
his pursuers, and fight them instantly, without
regard to numbers, and seek safety for his party
and the American settlers, by overturning the
Mexican government in Caliiornia. It was on
the 6th of June that he came to this determina
tion ; and, the resolution being once taken, all
half-way measures were discarded, and a rapid
execution of the plan was commenced. On the
lltli of June a supply of two hundred horses for
Castro’s troops, on his w ay to his camp, conduct
ed by an officer and fourteen men, were surprised
at daylight, and the whole captured—the men
and officers being released, and the horses retain
ed for American use. On the 15th, at daybreak,
the military poet ot Sonoma (the point of ren
dezvous. and intended headquarters) was sur
prised and taken, with nine pieces of brass can
non, 250 stand of muskets, other arms and am
munition, with several superior officers, Val
lejo, (Yal-ya-ho,) his brother, Capt Vallejo, Col
Greuxdon,and others, all of wfiomvfinre detain
ed and confined as prisoners. Capt. Fremont
then repaired to the American settlements on the
Reo de los Americanos to obtain assistance ;
and receiving an express from his little garrison
of fourteen in Sonoma that Gen. Castro was pre
paring to £ro**s the bay of San Francisco and
attack them with a large force, he sat out in the
afternoon of the 23d of Jane with 90 mounted
riflemen, and travelling day and night, arrived,
at 2 o'clock in the morning of the 25th at Sono
rm— .miles distance. The vanguard of
bad grossed the bay—a squadron
of 7G<ifnkgoopj§, commanded by de la Torre—
whiclVavos attested and defeated by 20 Ameri
cans, witirf&e loss of two killed and some wound
ed on tbit} part of tbe Mexicans, and no injury to
Ihenfs&fcvs —de la Torre barely escaping with
pfe tijjflfcpf ills transport boats, and spiking six
pieces of artillery. In the mean time, two of
Capt. Fremont’s men, going as an express, were
captured by de la Torre’s men, and, being bound
IpJ.re*?u, were cut to pieces alive with knives!
iPeturn for which, three of de la Tgrre’s men
‘being taken, were instantj|i shot. The north side
of the bay of San Francisco was bow cleared .of
the enemy, and on the 4th day of JuH, Cara
Fremont called the Americans together at SK
noma, addressed them upon the dangers ofthrfr
situation, and recommended a declaration of inde
pendence, and war upon Castro and bn troops,
as tbe only means of safety. The independent*
