THE FRANKLIN SEARCHING EXPE-
DITION

Letters dated July 9th, have been received in
England by the way of Canton, from Fl. M. ship
Enterprise, which was then off Cape Prince of
Wales. They had entered the ice June Sd, in
lat. SO deg. 25 min. They were carried by the
drift northward about mile, and were closely
beset till July 1st, when they got into open wa
ter reaching Cape Prince of Wales, July 3D.
There they found the Plover, much shaken af-
ter her third winter in the ice. She had found
no traces of Sir John Franklin. She had brought
back the officers sent to inquire into the truth of
the Indian report that white men in distress had
been seen on the source of the Darabin river.
They had been as far as the Russian Fort Da-
rabin, but found 40 confirmation of the report.
While at the fort, the Kinkok Indians attacked
it, and 1t. Barnard, one of the British officers,
and the commandant of the fort were killed.
The Indians had also attacked an Esquimaux vii
lage and killed 81 inhabitants. The other Bri-
fish officers returned safely, with no tidings of
Sir John Franklin.
On the northern voyage of the Enterprise,
Mr.. Whitehead, the pulser, committed suicide
by cutting his throat with razor

Mr.. Ruffin's Address, which was read before
the Agricultural Convention recently assem-
in this city, and proposed for its adoption as an
Address to the people of the State, we now lay
before our readers. 1t is distinguished by abili-
ty and knowledge of the subject, and it may
we'll excite establishment that it was not embrace
edin its proceedings by that Convention, and put
forth expression of its views.
But there were gentlemen present, aeho
thought they detected political objections to the
Address. To avoid the introduction of politics.
which would have thwarted the objects of the
Convention, the Address was very properly
Withdrawn. Our vision, however, not being so
acute to discover any objection whatever to this
table exposition of Mr.. Rufin's views, we glad
ly lay it before our readers, many of whom will
read it with pleasure and all with profit. We
are glad to see Mr.. Ruffin devote his strong and
practical understanding to increasing and propa-
eating agricultural knowledge in Virginia. 1t

than that ofstrugglinga fter place and ephemeral

An interesting experiment, ordered by the
Secretary of War, for the purpose oftesting the
relative merits of Onondaga and Turks Island
salt has been made at New York. The occa-
sion OF this experiment is, that there has exis-
ted strong prejudice against salt OF home man
utacture; and for all orders for beef and pork for
the use OF the Government it has been expressly
stipulated that 1t should be packed in Turks Is
land salt. The experiment was the packing of
eight hundred barrels OF pork in the two varieties
of salt, about two or three months since. which
was unpacked and examined competent By udg-
es, and the result is that the meat packed in the
two kinds of salt was precisely the same, both
being compact and of the same color.

TIIE INDIANS


We learn that a letter he's been received at
the Executive Office, from Gen. Blake, announc-
ing his arrival at Tampa on the 18th ut. with a
large delegation of Seminoles from Arkansas
Fort Myers has been selected by the General
as head. quarters, and he expresses sanguine
hopes of being able to effect the removal of the
Indians during the Spring.
We find in the Savannah Republican, of the
27th ult. a letter from Col. Winder, U. States
Commandant at Fort Myers, written to show,
what seems to be the truth, that Billy Bowlegs
and his followers are disposed to keep the peace.
This however, amounts to little, so long as there
are Indians beyond his control who are equally
disposed to violate,it. 1t is probably true that
the depredations complained of on the frontier
are the work of the bands of ''outliers," ''outsi
ders," ''outlaws," or whatever else they may be
termed, who are equally at war with Bowlegs
and tho whites but ifso, the fact does not help
matters az all $50 far the peace of the frontier
is concerned-it only complexities them.

LOCATION OF NEW MORMON TEMPLE
We have seen and conversed with one of the
principal Mormon chiefs, who informs us that
as soon as he is satisfied of the existence of a
permanent cantonment of troops on the ella, it
Is the intention of his people to form settle
ment in that vicinity. Some thirty or forty
families have prepared to take up their line of
march for the Gila. In a conversation with two
gentlemen of this city, just returned from the
North, we learned the following interesting
particulars relative to the Mormon settlement at
San Bernardino. The settlement is composed
of five hundred souls, divided into one hundred
and fifty families. Over one hundred ploughs
are in operation, designed to break up 1900
acres. The Mormons have erected a protection
against the Indians stockade enclosing an area
of ten acres in extent. Saw mills are in pro-
cess of erection, and we confidently anticipate
seeing respectable sized city in this beautiful
valley in the course of the next two years.

u The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, an infuen-
tail Democratic paper belabors, Gen. Cass most
numerically, and the South Side (Va,) Dem.
ocrat endorses its structures. The latter paper
says it is plain to every body that Cass cannot
carry the South and that if he be nominated al
Baltimore, the Democratic party may acknowl-
edge itself beaten in advance. The Telegraph
speaks as follows:
..An honest confession is said to be good for
the soul, and it is probably well for to make
one now as-hereafter. The Southern Democ-
racy so long as they remain true to themselves
and the best interests of their section never can
support General Cass. None but clean, pure
man can receive their support for the Presiden-
cy. The trust is too mighty, and the stake is
too great, to be confded to doubtful hands
High up, above glacier, and peak, and cloud
the dazzling radiance of principle must rest up
on, and cover like a garment, the man who gets
the votes of the Southern Democracy, at the
approaching election. We have experienced
the degree of Gen. Cass's fidelity, and are salts
fed with him. He is counterfeit at best, and
has shown himself throughout the late slavery
and sectional controversies, to be hollow and in
sincere. Under his lead, the Democratic party
was not only routed and dsorganized, but
virtually deserted Dy hlmseH, When on reaching
the Senate, he repudiated one Of the cardinal
principles upon which he was supported by the
Southern Democracy
We hope that the people of the South will bear
these precious confessions in mind. We are
here told by two prominent organs of the South
ern Democracy, that Gen. Cass is not "a clean,
pure man." and that Southern Democrats $50
long as they remain true to themselves and the
best interests of their section" cannot support
him for the Presidency. Gen. Cass's chances
for the Baltimore nomination are by no means
desperate, and in case he shall receive it, the
public will be curious to see whether the South
ern Democracy will remain ''true to themselves
and the best interests of their section" or bow
in submission to the dictation of their great ma
tional conclave.

PENNSYLVANIA Convention,

The Buchanan and Cass men appear to have
quarreled violently in the late Democratic Con-
vention at Harrisburg. Mr.. Buchanan, as our
readers are already aware, carried the day by
large majority, but the friends of Gen. Cass
died hard and entered upon the journal SOL
emn protest against the action of the Conven-
ton. 1t appears that resolution was adopted,
authorising the Chairman to appoint commit
tee to select delegates to Baltimore, subject to
the approval of the Convention. Against this
resolution the Cass men protested as a wanton
dishanchisement of the Congressional districts
1--WE denounce it (they say as fragrant
usurpation of power-as desperate alterna-
tive resorted to by tyrannical majority to ma
nacle and silence large minority in this Con-
vention upon vital question. 1t is a trampling
under foot of an usage sanctioned by the action
of the Democratic party in its Conventions for
the last II years-it is not only violation of
usage, but it is a sacrifice for temporary pur-
pose of Il cardinal Democratic principle.
.sWhile the Democracy of other States are
bringing the election of Delegates nearer to the
people, Pennsylvania by this action of the ma
jority of her Convention, removes it further
from them, and displays humiiating distrust
of the popular will.
The professionals proceed to say that they re-
pudiate the action of the convention, and decline
all further participation ia the appointment of
District Delegates. The harmonious Democ-
racy must have ''faen on evil days. when they
indulge towards each other in such unseemly
asperities of speech as we find in this protest.
1t concludes as follows:
