THE AMERICAN SEARCHING EXPEDITION
We gave yesterday the principal facts connected
with the American expedition in search Of Sir
John Franklin learned from the surgeon OF the
expedition, who arrived in the Advance, at New
York. The Rescue, the consor of tie Advance
parted company during the storm !lhe 18th inst
and is hourly expected.
During the nine months in which the eHpedi
ton was ice -bound, no human being approached
them nor could excursions TO any distance iron
the vessels be venturcd upon, the drifting Of the
fields of ice in which the vessels were encase,
making their position for any twenty four hour
altogether uncertain. Short hunting expedition,
were undertaken, and some polar bears, deer
foxes and birds were taken,
The expedition found no secure harbor while
cruising in the Arlic regions. A. an iilustra-
ton of the ease with which life may be sustain
ed in these ATTITUDES, Surgeon Kane, mentioned
that he met with a Dane, upward Of seven,,
years Of age, who had spent ffy,ycars ofhis life
North of 70 deg. subsisIing during that perioc
entirely on birds, fish. bears and other anma
food. He had not seen vegetable the whole
time.
The breaking up Of the ice is described by the
officers Of the expedition a. commencing with a
noise resembling the whistIng of a locomotive
followed by singular and constant puIsation Of
the ice.
For eighy.one days Of their e,bouud condi-
ton the sun did moi r4e, and there was total
darkness, except at midday for few moments
when paper might be read by holding it up &c
the faint light in the Souh
Il is somewhat remarkable that the Eng'i~f
and American expedition wolcrtd within y
miles Of each other without either knowing It
the American officers only learning il on tari
arrival at this port. The return oflhe Englist
squadron was also entirely unexpected 10y III,

DOODLE"
Yankee Doodle sept to town
His goods for exhibition;
Every body ran him down,
And laughed at his position
Theythought him all the world behind
A goney. mnff or noodle
Laugh on, good peope--noyer mind
Sage que, Yankee Doodle
CHoRus Yankee Doodle, &c.
Isnkee Doodle had craft,
A rather tidy clipper,
And he challenged, while they laughed
The Brtishers to whip her.
Their whole yacht-squadron she outsped
And that IN their own water;
Cfall'the lot she went ahead,
And they came no where after.
CaoRus.-Yankee Doodle, &c.
Der Panams. there was scheme
Long talk Of to pursue
Short Fhch many thought DREAM
by lake Nicaragua.
John Bull discussed the plan on foot
With slow irresolatioa
While Yankee Doodle went aud PIT
It into execution.
CaoKus. Yankee Doodle, &c.
A steamer Of the Collins line,
A Yankee Doodle's notion,
Has also quickest chi the brine
Across the Atlantic Ocean.
And British age0ts noway slow
Her merits to discover,
Have beer and bong ht her--juet to tow
The Cunard packets over.
CHoRus.- Yankee Doodle, &c.
Your gunsmths of their skill may crack,
Blu; that again don't mention;
guess that Colts reyolvers whack
Their very first invention.
BY Yankee Doodle, too, you're beat
Downright in Agriculture,
With his machine for reaping wheat,
Chow'd up as by yulture,
CKoRus.-Ysnkee Doodle, &c.
Fou also fancled in your pride,
Which truly is tsrnation,
Them British locks of yourn defed
The rogues Of all creation;
But Chubbs and Bramah's Hobbs has pick'd
And You must now be view'd all
As having been completely licked
BY glorious Yankee Doodle.

Kossurn AcruALLY RELEAsED.-Thc Paris
Pdirie, Of the 18Th Sept. states that kossuth
had been released and had reached the Darda
nelles. The National assures the public that
no thanks for his liberation are due to the French
diplomari.s, which had lately taken an un.
friendly turn
The London Morning Chronicle, the 10Th,
confirms the report Of Kossuh's release, and
says that be and his companions are safe on
board the Mississippi, and that she had left the
Dardanelles on the 18th for America.

Litchfield, Sept. 9th. 1851.

FIRE After an almost unpreceden- ted drought, we had moderate fall of rain on Friday afternoon last, accompas nied by high wind. During the show CT, there was single clap of thunder, which was soon followed by the cry of Fire Ian unusual sound in our quiet village. One of the barns belonging to the premises lately owned by Stephen Deming, Esq, situated near the head of North street, had been struck by light ming, and in due time was burnt :o the ground, togetEer with all its contents. It was we'll filled with hay and grain, which had just been gathered in, belong ing to Mr. William Wheeler, whose loss is put down at about $50o-no insurance, A man was in the barn at the time it was struck, but it was not injured.
 Lighting has been unusually frequent and destructive this season. It Is but a few weeks since the barn of Mrs. Benia- min Rissell, in the west part of the town, was destroyed by it, and several persons have been killed in the State.
Litchfield enquirer., 1851-09-18

IESome of the democratic journals are cursing President Fillmore for having interposed the authority of the Govern ment to prevent our citizens from enga> ging in the expedition against Cuba. - The stupid zeal of these editors, and their brethren at the South, one would think, had caused injury enough to the cause of humanity and repubicanism, to make them little more modest than they ap. pear to be. It was the inflated stories manufactured and set afoat by these per sons, which induced hundreds of noble young men to sacrifice their lives, while they and the Quitmans, more deserving of the fate of Lopez and Crttenden, were each looking out for himself. If the go- vernment officers at New Orleans had faithfully carried out the instructions of the President, those hundreds of men had been saved from an untimely death and the hearts of thousands of friends had not been bereayed.
