ANOTHER ARCTIC EXPEDITION
DR.. Hayes, a fellow. voyager will
DR.. Kane, in his exploration Of thu
Arctic regions, delivered a lecture
lately before the Geographical .Socic
ty ofNew York in which he expressed
his mistaken confidence In the idea o
an open sea, and adduced many fact'
in confirmation. lie proposed anoth
er expedition, to start in 1860 with q
vessel OF one hundred tons and twelve
sailors, and asked aid for the projects
He was DESTROYS to undertake to
verify the discoveries of pr. Kane
1t was to proceed up Baain's Bay and
along Grinnell Land as far ~northward
as was practicable, and then go into
winter quarters. lie would then go
still further to the north to establish
dcpots on the route, after which the
journey should be performed in a boat
mounted on sledgcs to the open sea.
lie expected that this would be about
latitude 81 degrees, a distance of six
hundred miles from the pole. The
hammock ice which impedcd the
movements of DR.. Kane did not exist
on the western side Of Smith Strait
towards Grinnell Land, hence he be-
licved that he could reach that point,
and that their journey northward by
boats would be easy. In n favorable
season it was quite possible that a
vessel might pass above cape Frazier
into Kennedy Channel e the ice
belt to that point. or the abundance
of whales in the open sea there was
not n doubt.
DIR. Hayes read a letter from Prof.
Agassiz in relation to the open Polar
Sea, in which that gentleman argued
the existence of such Il sea in the fol-
lowing language:
! beg to add "a word with regard to
DR.. Hayes, expedition. considcrit as
highly important, not only in a scicn-
tilic point Of view, but particularly so
for the interests Of the whale fishery.
The organization Of these huge inhab'
itants of tho ocean seems to me t0lur-
nish the most direct proof that there
is an open sea in the Arctics. The
whales, being warm bloodcd, air
breathing animals, must come to the
surface to breathe. They cannot live
without it. Now, it is well known
that during the winter they arc not
found outsidc--that is, to the south Of
the icc-bcat of the Arctic cas-. They
rctrcatcd northward during the cold
season, and iftIc whole extent Of that
Arctic sea was covered with ice they
would necessarily perish, during the
long winter. | do not know II more
evidence of the presence Of cX-
tGnsivc open water in the %norihcrmost
regions of the globe than the mode OF
life Of the whales; and the discovery
of II passage into that open water
would render whale fishing pos
siblc during winter would be one OF
The most important results for the
improvements of the whale fishery
The argument may not strike lorcibly
me who is not acquainted with the
tructure of the whales. but to a ply
ioIogist it must be irresistible.
The society voted thanks, and APP
ointed a committee of five to c0.Opc-
ate with DR. Hayes in the organization
f the expedition.

THE INFIDEL AND HISDAUGHTER.

THE INFlDEL AND HlSDAUGHTEh
Suggested by reading a%reccnt news
paper paragraph, describing the scene
between the brave old ETHAN ALLEN
and his daughter; on the eve of her
death, when she asked the stern inf
del in whose faith he would have hcI
die-his, or her mothers.
"Ths damps Of death are coming fast,
My father, DER my brow;
The past with all its scenes has fed.
And | must turn me now
To that dim future which in vain,
My eyesyseek to descry;
Tell me, my father, in this hour,
In whose belief TO diet
"ln thineY I've watched thy scornful smile
And heard thy whitening tone,
When e'er the Christians humble hope
Was placed above thine own:
I've heard thee speak Of coming death
Without shade OF gloom,
And laugh at all the childish fears
That cluster round the tomb.
Or is it in my mothers faith
How fondly do | trace
Through many a weary year long past
That calm and sanity face!
How often do | call to mind,
Now she's beneath the sod,
The place, the hour, in which she drew
My early thoughts TO God!
Twas then she took this Sacred Book,
And from its burning page,
Read how its truths support the soul
In youth and falling age;
And babe me in its pfecepts live
And by its prccepts die,
That | might share a home OF love
In worlds beyond the sky.
Ny father, shall | look above.
Amid this gathering gloom,
TO Him whose promises OF love
Extend beyond the tomb
Or curse the Being who hath blessed
This checkorod path Of mine?
Must embrace my mothers faith,
Or die, my sire, IN lhIne''
The fown upon that warriors brow
Passed like, a cloud away,
And tears courscd down the rugged cheek,
Tha, flowed not ill that day.
" No, not in mine!" with choaking voice,
The skcptic made reply
" But ia thy mothers holy faith,
My daughter, may'st tho1 die 7"

INTERESTING TO MERCHANTS.

INTERESTING TO MERCHANTS
Our attention has been called to the
following provision in the Statutes Of
Tennessee; which may be found in the
new Code, p. 49,, Art. o. Sec. $50:
On sales of merchandise, by mcr-
chants half a cen on the dollar on its
invoice cost at the place where pur-
chased, unless the tax upon the same
has once before been paid to the State,
in which event no additional tax shall
be paid.
This section exempts merchants Of
Tennessee from all State tax on goods
purchased from wholesale dealers in
this State. For instance the whole.
sale dealer in this city pays a tax to
the state Of one half a cent in the dol
lar on the amount of his invoice bills;
and these goods are subject to no fur
ther tax in the hands OF other mer-
chants. We imagine that a consider
able item might be saved by the coun'
try merchants in the State by awaiting
themselves OF this provision of our
laws. By so doing they will obvlate
the State tax on their merchandise,
in addition to their travelling expenses
in going North and East for the pur-
chase Of their stocks, as well as the
further expense Of freight, insurance
and exchange; which in a business
any way extensive would amount, in
the aggregate, to u very considerable
sum- Nashville Patriot.
