GALpuIN, H. an Indian trader in the time of
the Revolution. The Greek and Cherokee In
dams of Georgia conveyed tract of land to the
British Crown to secure the payment of Gal
phins and other claims against them. This
took place in 1878. Two years subsequent to
this time the revolution broke out and interior
ed with the execution of the trust on the part Of
the Crown. In IT'S Galphins claim was in
vestgated by the State of Georgia, when it was
found that the Indians owed him $43,5 81 and
a certificate for that amount was given the clai-
mant by the Council of the Colony of Georgia.
Although this claim should have been paid by
the British Government or by the State of Geor-
ga, an act was passed by the Congress of the
United States, allowing the heirs at law to take
that sum from the United States Treasury
Subsequent to the passage of this act, the Sec
rotary of the Treasury Of the United States al
lowed the further sum of $780, 900 and upwards
to be taken from the same Treasury without a.

The obelisks at Rome are composed of solid
pieces of stone, ninety feet high, as hard as me-
tai. The French put one of these in front of
Louis Phillppe's palace, and engraved a few
words on its surface. 1t took six sets of the
hardest and best tools that could be procured,
and three weeks constant labor to accomplish
this, while the ancient obelisks are covered with
characters and inscriptions, made on them before
the use Of Iron was known to us; and the engrav-
ings and characters on those ancient obelsks,
are yet fresh. The edges of these raised char
acters are not even worn off by the weather; but
are SO fine and sharp that they will cut person s
finger by passing over them.
In Egypt, travellers have seen and secured
bronze knives, which arc perfectly elastic. The
old Hindoo sabres will cut three or four times
better than the English sabres. The Arabs

Instructions FOR THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.
The letter of instructions from the Secretary
OF the Navy to Lieut. De Haven, Commander
of the Grinnell Arctic Expedition, is published
We make some extracts from it. He says:
''The chief object ofthis expedition is to search
for and if found afford relief to Sir John Frank
lin, of the Royal Navy, and his companions.
"You will therefore use all diligence, and
make every exertion to this end, paying atten-
ton you 60 to subjects of scientific inquiry,
only SO far as the same may not interfere with
the main object of the expedition.
"Having passed Barrow Strait, you will turn
your attention northward to Wellington Chan
mel, and westward to Cape Walker, and be gov.
erned by circumstances as to the course you will
then take.
"Accordingly, you will exercise your own
discretion, after seeing the condition of the ice
sea and weather, the two vessels shall here sep
arate; one for Cape Walker and the other fol
Wellington Strait, or whether they shall both
proceed together for the one place or the other
"Should you find it impossible, on account O.
the ice, to get through Barrow Strait, you viii
then turn your attention to Jones' Sound anc
Smith Sound. Finding these closed or imprac
expedition, the season will probably then be toe
far advanced for any other attempts. If SO, you
will return to New York;
The point of maximum cold is said to be ir
the vicinity of Parry Islands; and, after abiding
to the theory of winds and currents propoundce
by Lieutenant Maury, and to the supposition en-
tertained by scientific men, that beyond the icy
barrier Of the Arctic region there is "Polina,
or see free from ice, he adds:
"Thc supposed open sea and warmer region
to the north and west of Parry Islands are unex
plored. Should you succeed in finding any 0
pening there, either after having cleared Well
ington Straits, or after having cleared Parr,
Islands by northwardly course from Cape Wal
ker, enter as far as in your judgement it may b.
prudent to enter, and search every headland
promontory and conspicuous points, for-sign
and records Of the missing party. Take partic
ular care to avail yourself Of every opportunit
for leaving, as you 60, records and signs to tel
ofyour welfare, progress and Intentions

position as will permit his vessel to be caught b.

joins him not to spend more than one winter i

For the Express
What has become Of our City Marshall:
There is really superabundance of hogs and
dogs at this time in our city.
You will recolect some years since when
hogs, shoats and pigs were kindly permitted to
perambulate the streets by day, and burrow in
the warm sand by night, that the earth was lit
tcrapy covered with f1eas!
Then it was they would

shall, will forthwith, without respect to puppies,
lock up the former and despatch the latter.
