Ohio State JOurnnI.

We cannot permit-even in our moment:
of rejoicing over the result in this State
the fact to escape that no small share oI
the victory ought properly to be attributed
to the able gallant and unwavering sup
port which the Ohio State Journal, the re-
spected and influential central organ of the
conservative men Of Ohio, has given to the
ticket. From the start, the Journal ha:
occupied the first position in the State. as
an expert and gallant advocate Of the Re-
publican cause. If it received blow, il
paid it back with interest, and it has man.
aged With great adroitness and ability tc
keep its adversary, the Statesman, contin-
ually on the defensive. The conservative
Republican party are greatly indebted tc
the Journal for its able support 1t ha'
fought the good fight, and it has kept the
faith" and we sincerely hope ;hat the Re
publcans Of the Legislature, and ot the
State, will show their appreciation of it's ser
vices, by heaping upon it all tie "mstera

That Fortress,

What has become of Gov. Medill since
the election? Can any body tell US of his
whereabouts? We have looked for him
all over the city but be is not here. We
have made inquiries Of bis loved and Eorin9
colleagues upon the State ticket, but they
know nothing about him, and We fear they
care less. We want TO take a last, long,
lingering look at the STANDARD Bearer Of
the Ohio Democracy" who was to bear
their glorious flag alOft, and lead the mar
shaled hosts on to victory. We think we
can see the old chap, as be stood upon the
platform before the Sth-of January Conven-
ton, and with all that grace and dignity Of
manner for which he is so remarkable,
once more deliver himself of the following
eloquent passages from his speech on that
occasion:
Having been elected two years ago, By
10000 majority, it is Ct that afer the dis
astrous defeat of last year, l should be
again called upon to bear it back to victory.
Though the allied army, with all the isms
combined, have been victorious over our
forces in the last campaign, there is one
fortress, (prOudly striking his breast) that
will not yield"
What has this gallant standard bearer
done with the 10000 majority of which be
SO vauntingly vossted! Beaten BY 10000
as he is-We think be should put his hand
on bis mouth, and his mouth in the dust,
put on sackcleth and retire to Ritter's school

political life. We trust the days when sucE
small potato demagogues as Medill can SIT

quality TO be consumed without some eb-
ject. Some of the neighbors passing his
house inquired of him what dead beast he
was burning, that filed the air with such
strong smell He got angry and teld them
it was none of their business, and ordered
them of bis land, or he would proseciue

But the real discovery Of the Expedition

Under these trying circumstances DR.

tracks Of Bafin's travel, riding out heavy

Senatorial Dtsfrict-OmcInI.

The Sandusky Register gives the OficinI
msiorilies on Senator in the several coun,
ties Of this district, as follows: For Buck

This is doing pretty well for district
which was formed in fragrant violation Of
equity, with exclusive reference to making
it hoplessly Locofoco. But this is not the
only instance in whieh the the wise makers
of our new Constitution failed in their cal
culalions.

The Probab,e NaiorIties.

The Ohio State journal has figured up.
on the returns, and from all information OBJ
tanned thinks Chase's majority will fall a
triae short of 10000. 1t says:-"Our list
comprises all the State except Gallia, Hen
ry and Paulding. Many of them are in
round numbers, and the official returns will
vary them considerably In the table But.
Ter stands at l 900 for Medill. We do not
believe it has given that maj1rity. We
have put down Monroe at 400 for Nedill,
though severel papers put it down as hsT-
ing gone for Chase With these figures we
make the majority for Chase 1854 The
counties of Henry and Paulding will about
balance each other. In Gallia the Trimble
vote is large, and we think Medill will have
a majority over Chase. Our present i'm
preston is that the majority for Chase will
fall trife short OF tVenty thousand"
The same paper thinks the rest Of the
State ticket are elected BY over 5000 ma
iority. Not by the whole Trimbls vote more
than Mr.. Chase's majority, for many Ger
mans in the State voted for Mr.. G. and stuck
to the Locofoco ticket on all other nomi-
nees. Thirty thousand ViH do to feel COM

THE DEATHS ON THE EXPEDITION.

The expedition has to mourn the loss Of
three Of its comrades, two of whom perish
ed Of oflockjaw, and one from abcess, following
upon frozen extremity. These men may
be said to have fallen in the discharge of a
noble duty. Their names are. acting car
renter, Christian OhIsen, jefferson DakeE
and Peter Schubert, volunteers.
The poor fellows, nearly all OF whom have
families residing 10 this vincity OF neighbor-
hood, evinced tho greatest desire to reach
the shore and lost not moment in doing so.

eagerly at az who came from on board, in
hopes of seeing the face Of some loved one

ESCAPE TO THE SOUTH.

The great belt of ice made it clear thai
no relief expedition from the South could
reach the party in time to prevent their
imprisonment for a third winter, which,
with their deficiency of fuel, would have
proved most dlsasterous, if not fatal Un
der ihese circumstances, DR.. Kane wisely
determined to abandon bis brig. and al
tempt to descend the South by conbina-
ton of boats and sledges.
In accordance with this view they left the
brig on the 18th of May-the temperature
at that time being deg. below Zero They
crossed belt of ice 81 miles in diameter
dragging their boats behind them. and car
ryiDg four sick comrades by means Of a
dog sledge. After a travel of 3l6 miles,
with 81 days Of constant exposure, they
reached Cape Alexander and embarked in
open water. Their guns supplied them
with animal food, no provisions being car
ried with them except powdered bresdstufs
and tallow. (Tallow says the Doctor is a
very good thing.)
From Cape Alexander they travelled to
the so1thvard, sometimes over ice, some
times thro' water, shooting both duck and
seal, and collecting enough seal to keep the
party in good condition. At Cape Fork
they burnt up their spare boats and sledges
for fuel, and left the colst. Striking out
into the open sea of Melville Bay, they then
steered for the North Danish settlements
OF Greenland. Here they proVidentialiy
landed on the 9Th of August, in vigorous
health, after their travel Of 300 miles, and
sighty-one days Of constant exposure!
