The qualification of officers and crew on once
mere reaching their native land, is in no small de-
gree enhanced by the recollection that in scene
no matter how trying, was their trust in ant
mutual love for each other interrupted; and Capt
DE Haven retains the most lively recollection O
the gallant, unAnching conduct Of officers and
crew.
The following editorial items we find in the New
York Express:
A PRoPELLER PRoPosED-It IS now Mr. Grin
neitsmpression. that in order TO make any certain
progress IN these seas. a steaIp propeller must be
USED, with which in month, progress enough
can be made to result in something far salts
factory than anything we have yet had.
The kyacks are another Of the most remark able
memorials the Advance has brought away from
the Polar regions. They are a kind of boat, made
OF whalebone, much in the shape Of cigar, capa-
cons enough to hold one man comfortably. but
no more These kyacks were picked up in Well
fhgton Channel, on the shores of which were
discovered traces Of what seemed to be the re-
mains Of what had opce been an Esquimaux set
tlement
OTHER INCIDENTs.--One of the crew stated TO-
us, that while in Lancaster Sound no traces of
human life could be found. Of vegetation there
was little or none Bleak and drearY, the hardy
spirits composing the expedition could easily realize
that when Coleridge wrote the Ancient Mariner,
he wrote no fiction, but q dismal truth:
"The ice was here. the ice was there,
The ice all around"
On one occasion, indeed, it was terrible cold
that even the soup and coffee froze hard as a
rock No fires could be kept up for any length OF
time, and, under the circumstances, it seems hut
little short of miracle that human life could be
kept together al all

BRO. GoRMAN-In the general excitement
Of the Congressional canvass now going ON in
our State, it is hoped that none Of our breth-
rem win forget their duties to their respective
Divisions and to our Order. There Is some
danger Of this and a hint on the subject is not
inappropriate. We are all free to vote for
whom We please and in any way we please I;
our obligations in becoming Sons of Temper.
ance. interferes in no way with, and imposes
no restrictions whatever upon, our civil, politi-
cal and religious rights and privileges but in
times Of excitement On the subject Of National
politics like the present there is an especial
need that our brethren should be on their
guard, and not allow party zeal to lessen their
Labors in the /" cause Of all mankind
The ~disreputable practice too of treating is
more likely to ensnare Us in such times as the
present. Our enemies ever active, ever stud
ying schemes for cur destruction, will in such
times use their most artful meanst to entrap the
unwary. The custom Of treating they will
use every endeavor to make enure TO their
wishes to have Sons violate the pledge. Be
careful, brethren. Turn your backs upon the
treat, and the custom Of treating, with as much
frmness and adherence now, as you at any
other time manifest for the unhallowed act Of
pFofering the aecursed cup to your lips. No
genuine friend will ask you 10 drink. Mark
the man who would have you violate the pledge,
as an enemy, let his professions be what they
may. Many a heart beats for the downfall Of
the Order; many a chucklng expression is
now passing from foe to foe, that our institH.
ton Is destined TO receive a~ruinous shock from
the eleciioneering canvass now on hand, and
many an unholy hope is INDUCED that it will
be swallowed up 10 the whirlpool Of politics
But IL will pass triamphanty through this and
every ordeal, and like pure gold, viii shine
brighter after il has passed through the fur
mace.
By way Of paTenthesis, let US suggest 10 the
corresponding committee Of the Grand Division
Of our State, the prnpriety Of inviting some goot
Temperance Orator from abroad 10 attend th'
next meeting Of The Grand Division at Raleigh
with a view that his services may be obtained
10 canvass the State. We want another TEN
peranee Orator ia our State 10 follow upon n,
heels Of Bro. White. The spirit Of our breih
Tea calls for il, the wants Of the State denan
it, and every consideration i~usliies il. Let 0
have another travelling Temperance Speaker !
North CsTOlins- Let the Stale be canvasse
more thoroughly than il ever has been. LIE
one or more distinguished champions be invil
ed to visit the State, and let US confer wit
them in reference 10 obtaining the services !,
one Of them in The State. For our own PEI
we prefer the eloquent, the inviDcible, the thri
ling, the noble hearted Gongh. We think
would travel over our State If an early apple
ton were made to him.
