Col. Fremont in California.—A Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Herald, writing from the capital under date of the 9th inst., says that Colonel Fremont will remain in California till next winter. At the last advices he was at Ciudad de Los Angeles, while his family were at San Francisco, some five hundred miles further up the coast. His immense land claim has been disposed of. The estate, or rather district of country embraced in this claim, lies in the gold region; and besides its rich mineral wealth, is said to be highly productive in agricultural products. The agent of Fremont has disposed of this claim of forty-five thousand acres of gold washings, mines and arable lands to a London company, for some $22 per acre, or an aggregate of nearly one million dollars. and this in the face of the alleged insufficiency of Fremont's title, and of the Board of Commissioners who have to pass upon it. The sale is subject to the ratification of Fremont, of which there is no reason to doubt.

One object in disposing of his lands is to get rid of the trouble of their management, so that the owner may turn his attention more directly to the completion of his geography of the United States, between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific, a portion of the continent which, until his explorations in 1843-45, was as much a terra incognita as the heart of Africa. Several scientific societies of Belgium and Germany have written to him that they are waiting and still expecting something more at his hands.

The same writer says there is no information from California justifying the idea that Fremont intends to abandon the contest for the Senate.
