Ichison's sounds. and were forced after
various escapes to return to the brig.
During the winter which ensued they
edopted the habits of the Esquimaux-
living upon raw walrus meat and sur
rounding themselves by walls Of moss.
In spite of these precautions the scuryy
advanced with steady progress, but by
the aid of single team Of dogs DIR.
Kane succeeded in efecting commu-
nication with a settlement of Esqui-
maux seventy miles 10 the southwark,
and by organizing hunt, relieved the
party.
At one time every man of the expe-
dition except DR.. Kane and Mr.. Bunsell
was confined to his bunk with scurvy,
but by a providential interposition the
party escaped without death.
The great belt of ice made it clear
that no relief expedition from the South
could reach the party in time to pre-
vent the imprisonment of third winter,
which, with their deficiency Of fuel,
would have proved most disastrous, if
not fatal. Under these circumstances,
DIR. Kane wisely determined to abandon
his brig and attempt to escape to the
South by boats and sledges. In accor-
dance With this view they left the brig
on the 18th of May, the temperature at
that time being FIVE degrees below zero.
They crossed belt of ice eighty-one
miles in diameter, dragging their boats
behind them and carrying four Of their
sick comrades by means of a dog
sledge. After travel of three hun
dred and sixteen miles, with thirty one
days of constant exposure, they reach
ed Cape Alexander, and embarked in
open water. Their guns supplied them
with animal food, no provisions being
carried in the boats except powder,
breadstuffs and tallow. From Cape
Alexander they travelled southwark,
sometimes over water, shooting either
duck or seal and collecting enough eggs
to keep the party in good condition. At
Cape York they burned up their spare
boats and sledges for fuel, and left the
coast. putting ont into the open sea of
Melville bay, and steered for the North
Danish settlements of Greenland
Here they were providentially landed on
the 9th of August, in vigorous health,
after travel of one thousand three
hundred miles, and eighty-one days Of
constant exposure. From Upernavick,
the largest of these settlements, they
took passage in a Danish sailing vessel
for England. By great good fortune
they touched at Disco, where they were
met by Capt. Hentz's expedition. The
searching expedition had found the Ice
of Smiths Sound still unbroken, but
having communicated with the Esqui-
maux had heard of the departure Of
DR.. Kane and had retraced their steps.
The expedition has to mourn the loss
of three Of its comrades, two of whom
perished by lockiaw, and one from ab-
scess following a frozen extremity
These men may be said to have per-
ished in the direct discharge of their
duty. Their names are Christian Ohls-
ton, acting carpenter; Jefferson Baker,
Peter Schubert; all Of whom were vol
unteers. .s.

+ CAUTION TO TIE CURIoUs.-1. When

gawk about and read all the manuscript

polite, very; and besides who knows

enormous villainy, and crush it in the
bud? Isn't this free country, and
what business have printers with priva-
cy? they are paid for publishing the

2. Be sure to pick up some Of the
type in the case and examine them, es-
pecially if you never seen any before.
Type are not too good to be looked at,
are they? Throw them down again
when you are done. into one of the box
es, no matter which. Printers should
not have so many little boxes all of the

ticular.
3. Don't neglect the press, / beg
you; it is an engine Of vast importance

30 acres, for Sc, 900. few months ago,
has realized half that sum from his crop
of broom corn this season. Mr.. H. had
so acres under cultivation from which
he realized 10000 pounds of broom
straw, and sold it at prices varying from
81 so to $40 per Misunderstanding
full SO, which makes the gross sum Of
$4,000. In addition to this he has
gathered about 5000 bushels of seed,
worth 25 cents per pushel, or $3.50 for
the lot, which makes almost $4,000 for
the produce of only sirty acres. The ex-
pense of cultivation was about 81 900,

at present their decisions have been

advantage. How will they decide the
questions Of next yesr, the most impor-

the Constitution was ratified? The en-

active, they are cunning; they appeal to
the passions; they fatter the sentiment

IMPORTANT NEWS.-Ihe hdrUea ~
Germdny-Tze price Of Grain and Bread
Extract Of letter from a correspon
dert at Frankfort-on-the-M Main, Germa
ny, dated the 18th ult.
The harvest is over. The result is {
middling crop Of rye-the most impor.
tant crop in Germany--and good one
of wheat. The potatoes have generally
done well. Fruits are more abundant
than they have been since the year
1847. There is an immense quantity ol
plums, pears, apples, &c. Notwithstan-
ding all this, the price of bread rises
higher from day to day, and the poorer
classes are suffering so severely as to
create fear of riots and revolts, partic-
ularly towards the end Of the coming
winter. There have already been pre-
monitory symptoms in some of the ci-
ties, as Mayence and Manshelm. Large
conveys of corn have been sent from
Hungary and Galicis; but as the war
will hinder arrivals from the Black Sea,
the scarcity will become greater, per-
haps, than last year. The German
Governments do not appear careful and
provident. No measures as vet have
been taken towards securing supplies;
all they have done consists in police
measures. They establish taxes on
bread; but in all the country, as well as
where the price Of bread is regulated by
law (as in Frankfort) as in those where
the price is according to the will of the
bakers, it becomes dearer daily.
1t seems to me that the present will
be very good occasion for extending
our corn trade. America is now the
only country in the world capable Of
supplying the wants Of Germany.
Notwithstanding the present necessi-
ties of the country, the emigration to
America is at very low scale. There
are two reasons for this: The war has in
a measure emptied France, and even
England partly, of young men, and es-
pecially of those belonging to the wor
king classes. The Germans, instead of
crossing the sea, find it more advanta-
geous to emigrate to neighboring coun-
tries, where their labor is wanted and
well remunerated. The other reason
is to be found in the American party
movement, which the German papers
make the best of, in order to divert the
stream of emigration from the United
States.
/. A later date gives additional facts of
interest:
!, The price of grain and bread has ris-
en- again. 1t is now nearly thrice what
it was in 1848 and 1849. A bread not
took place few days ago at Hanaw, in
the electorate of Hesse Cassel, one of
the first manufacturing places in Ger
many, and it is thought we shall have
more of them. A public rumor has
gained some credit that the Commercial
Bank of Darmstadt lin Grand Hesse)
and great banking house here (Von
Bethmann have purchased an immense
quantity of rape-seed on speculation.
A great rise in the price of oil has fol-
lowed. Whether the reason mentioned
be tue or not, the effect on the public
mind is the same. need not say it is a
very bad one.

GREAT MILITARY EXPEDITION TO THE
PLAINs-4,O00 Men TO TAKE THE FIRLD.-
We hear from Washington, that orders have
been issued for the early march of 1000
troops to the Western Plains, with view
to the chastisement of the Indians who
have. for years past, been engaged in dep
relations upon the property and the lives Of
American citizens. 1t is understood that
one thousand two hundred of the troops
are to be stationed at Fort Larimie: eight
hundred at Fort Kesrney; six hundred at
Fort Riley, and one Thousand FIVE hundred
on the Upper Missouri With view to
the sustaining of so large military force.
the proper officers have been directed TO
purchase years supply of provisions, and
everything necessary for the expedition
Everything indicates an active summer
campaign, and the Indians will, it is proba-
be, get enough of lighting and pillaging
before the year is over.
Gen. Harvey is to have command of this
expedition He was at Washington on the
2Ist. waiting for final orders. Col Sum-
ner WILL it is supposed. have an important
command assigned to him. The fitting out
ofso large military command, for such a
length Of service, will of course require a
great expenditure of money. and the most
of it will 90 TO merchants, traders and farm
ers. We shall bevery glad to see the Treas
ury relieved of its plethora Of cash on these
terms, and feel satisfied that much better
use can be made Of it by our worthy citi-
zens.

the earliest possible days. Louis Rep.
