From the Washington Union. COL. IREMONT'S FINANCIAL OPERATIONS. Ox Saturday the reports of the various departments in answer to Senator Bigler's resolution were sent in to the Senate, and a cursory examination of the facts and copies from the records therein contained justify us in announcing that their publication will develop some transactions connected with Col. Fremont's financial and

military operations in California of the most astounding character. Heretofore there has been a veil of romance, a sort of charm, thrown around these transactions, whereby we have evaded public scrutiny; and while we have been of opinion that, under the glare of magnificent acliieve under the glare oi magmneent acmevements and adventures, there were covered up speculations and peculations of large am small degree, yet we confess e had no adequate conception of what seems now likelv to bo unveiled in the full light of ua . Heretofore we may have been compelled to grope in the dark, having only isolated ever well irrounded they might have be ws r,,om "r doubt. Hut been, in these reports the connecting circumstances j and facts all appear, like the links in a I chain. They follow each other, and bring I the mind irres isiably to a conclusion fatal j to Fremont. It has been a matter of wonder how a IV . . , . ., , young army oflicor, w.th no known visible ! moans of resources, should suddenly be en- ' abiC led to establish a lar-e "runrhc" filled wkh lierds f cattle, A'C, and enter into Sujpl ing Indians with ukek in unheard-of . , .i.,, quantities, and thus be enabled, in a short to nref-T a claim against the irovernmettt aniouniiii'' to several hundred thousroiils i( dollars. Kqually suiriing was it that he should have money with which to purchase a Spanish claim to sixty-odd leagues of land, of fibtiloits value, the very rocks and stjne.s of which, we are told, are ait 0f tjR. mfl,mer in which claims against . the? o-overnment are sometimes gotten up, 1 111 service of live or six months, a ""'small battalion of ir.c-n, numberiiiif, ior hajs, three or four hundred, should incur OM fcount of "subsistent supplies," Arc, amomitiiig to more than a mil lion of dl!ars. lint these reports and accompanying k.cnrnents oxidant nil. They unravel the niii i i mystery. llor-s by the thousand, cattle j at the rate of a beef a day for each soldier, - and "other tilings in proportion" such are these claims, nearly all, it seems, certified to as "correct and just," and "applied to the public service" by the imniacstanding the skill with which these claims . . , . . were gotten up, backed up by the certihcate of Li..ut U(J Frt.monl awJ the at . 0 . ; liniuence orouiu to uear in ineir iavor, it I . t a. . t WWuw, , t iapiars that only about 140,000, or about j tli.p ieftg sfft iitt' tit thä nJti.fs ät-itnnt -kit -w-fi vi i 1 ' ' - j recommended for allowance and payment, j t.av;ng Some KH;T jiUNJjked THOUSAND jj,,, , Aus ST1LL urTSTAXIJ,M. anJ unpaid, j . 1 ' land which we are ouite sure will never Le T , , !

We entered Rome at tho hour of sunset by the gate called Porta Cavalleggieri very i near St. Peter's. Thus, by a fortunate . circumstance, our earliest vision of the Eternal City was this glorious structure. Winding around the noble collonade which j surrounds the great piazza iu front of St. ; Peter's, we could see between the intervals of its columns, the waters of its fotin- ' tains playing in sparkling j.ts in thc last rosy daylight, and then falling in graceful j clouds of spray on the glistening pavement, j giving, if I may so speak, a something of. airiness to a scene otherwise almost too impressive in its power, glory, strength, : and beauty. A moment more and the j Castle of St. Angelo loomed up beside us; j

now, were upon its statue-guarded bridge, familiar with it from engravings, looking down into the yellow flood of class- The other pictures I especially rcmemic Tiber; and again, Ave were driving along ber, were Michael Angelo's St. John, Corthe lonr street leading to the Piazza de regio'a Dame, Titan's Three (J races, three Spagna, at the foot of the Pincian Hill.

ry While it was yet early, wo walked out j to visit a lady to whom we had letters of i introduction. We found her iu her lod"ings, the most agreeable manner iu which to live in Rome, and she no sooner heard that we intended to remain at least a month than she advised us lo take two furnished rooms which sho knew were at that mo-i ment to be let in tho Via Gregoriana, on one of the s'opes of tho Pincian, and have our meals sent to us from a trattoria near

by. The owner of the house was a widow with one daughter, and we would be her only lodgers; so, as the rooms, on examination, were found to bo in perfect neatness, ourselves and bagg.ige were forthwith transferred from the Hotel de FEurope to Xo. 43, Via Gregoriana. And now behold me established for a few briyrht weeks in the city of my youn dream. Tuesday. The guide we engaged yesterday came to us this morning. Tho first question naturally was, "With what shall we begin our sight -seeing?" After some debate we decided for the Coliseum, towards which he accordingly led the way, down the gay Corso, up the ascent "a cordoni" leading to the Capitol, past tho Forum with its beautiful remains, near the Arch of Titus, through that of Constantine, and, " 'Midst the chief relics of almighty Rome, " there rose before us the Coliseum. And now we had entered through a wide succession of arches, and that moment was a never-to-be-forgotten era in our lives. Far other scene is that vast arena now, with its soft green turf and springing flow-

Crs, and wild-vines climbing g over many a I ponderous arch, to that of the long-"one 1 days when emperors and their dazzling ..... . courts nlJeu yonder seats, when gladiators trod this spot, and beauteous Vestals gave j the signal for the commencement of the combat. As, gazing down from the highest parapet, your eye takes in the whole of this gigantic structure, your mind no longer dwells nmono tho thio.ra uf f.wt-n-1 ;tln,..nn, e ,i .ni mil nonces of the past fall over vou, and you become i "A ti.irtof udnit has been, i And rrow into the tfjHit, all-seeing but unseen." ; The splendid pageant of royalty, the w hitcrobed virgins of the Sun, the heroes of the (arena, and tho assemble thousands, all move before you, no longer as in a dream, but a magnificent reality. This evening wc walked on the Pincian Hill, the favorite promenade of the modern Romans. It overlooks n v.rv tinn I.,- r ; ti, .vi,rt1 ...

' Of the many hundred jiiotures, I cau of ! course only mention those I wish never to j forget. Thc Chase of Diana, by Domeni- ; chino, is a perfect miracle oi beauty. That 'merry greenwood," those airy nymphs around their lovely queen, tho rich light glowing overall but how can un pen hope to image what is incomparable! The same artist's Sybil hangs near; her eyes, "deep eloquence" will haunt me for many a day. And nor.' I stood before a scene near which you involuntary speak but in low whispers, and your blow grows very sad. It is Raphael's Entombment of Christ. Tho youthful grief of St. John, thc sorrow too deep for tears of St. Peter, the fainting mother, and the pale, lifeless form of the Son; ah, what a mournful picture! yet what I a triumph of Art! Sasofcrrato's exquisite Madonna is its companion; I had long been i Raphael, and a landscape from Paul Pottor a perfect gem of its kind; and not unworthy a place among tho grand old masters; of these I can this moment recall the varied beauties as distinctly as though they were again before me ot it, I was overjoyed to be able to find our way anywhere, after the first day without his assistance, which, however might have been well enough, had it not been that he insisted on giving us the history of every old ruin, church and monument we approached, and that, too, (just fancy it!) in about the stylo you have heard a man ex plain a panorama. For instance, we drew near the Arch of Titus. Signer Cicerone thus began: "Erected in honor of Titus, son ! "f Yopacian, after the t iking of Jerusalem.

many thousand Jews were put to death, so many taken captive, etc," and so on till the whole story was finished. It was no use to assure him that all he told us was not icholly new to us; he had made a beginning, and the stream must flow; sooner might you turn waterup hill than attempt to stay it. All this Avas amusing, but at the same time not a little vexatious; we felt that it would never do to keep such a damper to enthusiasm as Sir Cicerone and his historical reminiscences would most likely prove. We were therefore suitably grateful when tho Countess Orloff arrived at the Europe, and took him off our hands. "What is called the Capitol consists of three palaces, occupying three sides of the square on the Capitoline Hill. Thc one j now called the Palace of thc Senator of, Rome, was erected by Michael Angelo on the foundations of the ancient capitol. "YYe ascended to its lofty tower, on one hand lay modern Rome; on the other, the splendid ruins of her former glory; k arou nd all there flowed thc proud old Tibsr, recalling' Spencer's quaint old lines J "Rome now of Rome is tV only funeral, And only Rome of Rome hath victory.

On descending we- passed through the I chamber containing the bronze Wolf of the Capitol. As the most ancient work we had yet seen, and as so romantically connected with the story of the founding of Rome, the seeing of it was quite an event. At the foot of the grand stairway, wc were shown the bas-relief of Quintius Curtius leaping into the gulf in thc Forum; and a fragment, encased in marble, of thc inscription which marked tho triumphal column erected to Duillius after his brilliant victory over the Carthagenians. It was richly ornamented with anchors and other naval emblems. Au revoir, S. A. B. - aly .P, 1 Dr. Kane's Arctic Explorations.

A fox also saluted us with au admirable imitation of the Huk-huk-huk," which, among the j Esquimaux is the never unheeded call j distress; but the rascal, after seducin" ill of1 a mile and a half out of our way escaped us i our "tins. Our boa's entered a little path of open water, which conducted us to the beach, directly below one of the hanging glaciers. The interest with which these impressed i me when 1 was returning back from my j " j Beeehy Island effort was justified ery ful- j c y )V what I saw of them now. It seemid as if a chaldron of ice inside the eoa-t i id"e !

was boiling over, and throwing its erust in j TIi0 ,1Kn sprung mechanically each one to huge fragments from the overhanging lipjll5 station, bearing back the boat- and into thc sea below. The glacier must have j stores; but 1 gave up for the moment all been leveu hundred feet high; but even ; kr our escape. It was hot a nip. at its summit we could not see thc lines of j sa1 a is familiar to Arctic navigator.

viscous movement which I have endeavored to transfer to my sketch. We crossed Murchison channel on the 23d, and encamped for the night on the I hand-floa at the base of Cape Parry; a hard j day's travel, partly by tracking over icej and partly through tortuous and zig-zag ' leads. The next day brought us to the! neighborhood of Eitz-Clarcueo Kock, one of the most interesting monuments that rear themselves along this dreary coast; in j a rogion more familiar to men, it would be j a landmark to the navigator. It rises from j afield of ice lik an Egyptan pyramid sur-! mounted by an obelisk. I had been anxious to communicate with tho Esquimaux of Xetelik, in the hope of gaining sonic further intelligence of Hans. Our friends at Etah had given me in their' ow n style, a complete itinerary of this re-1 gin, and we Ind no difliculty in instruct-1

ing Godfrey how to trace his way across the neck of land which ttood between ua and the settlement. He made the attempt, but found the snow-drift impassable; und Peterson, whom I sent on the same errand to Tessiusak, returned equally unsuccessful. The next day gave us admirable progress. Tho ice opened in leads before us, somewhat tortuous, but, on the whole, favoring, and for sixteen hours I never left the helm. Ye were all of us exhausted when the day's work came to n close. Our allowance had bsen small from tho first; but the delays we seemed fated to encounter made me reduce them to what I then thought the minimum quantity, sixounces of bread-dust and a lump of tallow the size of a walnut; a paste or broth made of these before setting out in the morning and distributed occasionally through thc day in scanty rations was our only fare. AVe were all of us glad when, running thc boats under the lee of a berg, we were able to fill our kettles with snow and boil up for our great restorative tea. I may remark that, under thc circumstances of utmost ' priviation, I found no comforter so we wtlcome to the paity as this. We drank imWc had lost si-dit of Carv Island; but shoreward, up Wostenholme Channel, the u-. seemed as if it had not yel begun to yield to the influence of summer. Everything showed ho a intense the last winter had been. AYe were close upon the 1st of July and had a right to look for the Xorlh Water of the whalers where we now had solid ice or :lose pack, both of them almost j equally unfavorable to our progress. Far off in the distance how far I could not measure rose the DaJrvmple Rock, r.rojecting from the lofty precipice of the inland ahead; but between us and it thc landice spread itself from the base of Saunders's Island unbroken to the far Scut!:. The next day's progress was of o.urso slow and wearisome, pushing through alI ternate ice and water for the land-belt. ! We fastened at last to the trreat floe near j the shore, making our harbor in a crack j which opened with thc changes of the tide. j The inperfect diet of the party was showi itself more and more in the decline of their muscular power. They seemed i scarcek aware of it ihemsolves, and refer- ! red the difficulty they found iu dragging j and pushing to something uncommon about ! lc0 or sludge rattier man liieir own ! weakness.

I had climbed the iceberg; and there was nothin" in view except Dairy mplo Ro k, with its rc'd brassy face toweling in the unknown distance. But I hardly got back to my ! l)"at- before a gale struck us from the northwest, and a floe, taking upon a tongue of ice abou: a mile to the north of us, began to swing upon it like a pivot and close slowly in upon cur narrow ree-ting plaro. ! At tirst our own Hoe was also driven be fore the wind; but in a little while it cn- ; countered the stationary ice at the fot .f ! 11,0 v?ry rock itself. On the instant tho wildest imaginable ruin rose around us. but the whole platform where we stood and for hundreds ofjards on every side cf u. crumbled and crushed and piled and tossitself madly under the pressure. I ,i0t believe that of our little Ik.Jv of men, - l of them disciplined in trials, able to measure danger while combating it I do not believe there is une who this day cau explain how or why hnrdlv when, in fac: we found ourselves afloat. We only know that in the midst of a clamor utterly indescribable, through which the braying f a thousand trumpets could no m rc have been heard th: i the voice of a man, we w ere shaken and raised and whirled and let down again in a swelling waste of brokeu hummocks, aud, as the men grasped their hoat hooks in the stillness that fallowed. lho boats eddied away iu a tumultuous kreod of ice and snow and water.
