Frozen UP IN THE ARCTIC REoIoN.--
A Peterheaj, (Englond,) whaler, named
the alert, has recently arrived in Eng
land, after winter involuntarily spent
in the Arctic regions. The vessel was
frozen up early last fall, at Ketterdon Is
land-tbe crew being wholly unprepared
to face the horrible rigors of tho climate.
One by one they pcrished from cold and
scurvy until, when assistance reached
them, only ten out of the original crew of
twenty remained, and they were much
enfeebled by disease. The Captain of
the vessel reports that the American YES
sells which wintered out had met with
poor success. Up to the middle of Au-
gust no whales had been caught in that
quarter.

that, Peoria would never pay! Gentle
men, the money is received"
DAVID SMITH.
Battle Creek, Nov. 6, 1861.
Messrs. BARNS: You will do me and
the Peoria Marine and Fire Insurance
Company, which l represent in this State,
a kindness by publishing Mr.. Smiths
card, acknowledging the payment by the
Company, Of $500, and who from a gen.
erous heart has made this public acknowl-
edgement.
You will permit me-not so much for
the benefit of those who are insured in
this Company as those who, from the
first moment that it opened its business
in this State, have pursued it with ma
lignity and train of falsehood that void
put to blush the inhabitants of Pandemo.
mum itself-to say this loss of Mr..
Smiths is the Mirty-third paid by this
Company the past season of its business
in the State of Michigan-and every loss
but one has been paid before due, by the
terms of the policy, and that one was the
Dowagiac School House-and that fact
has been seized upon by class of itine-
rant agents, who, like Egypts frogs, on
every half acre of this peninsular State,
you would hear them croaking, " Is the
D-o-w-a-g-i-a-c loss paid yet" And this
question was continued TO be asked fee
months after they kneaU that the Peoria
Company had paid that by the day stip-
ulated. That the late schoool-board were
satisfied that the Company had good rea-
son to defer for few days paying over
the money is shown in the fact that at a
special meeting of the board, after hay
ing passed resolution to insure their
new house, in three responsible Compa-
MES, they took their first risk in the
Peoria Company, with an increase ot
$500 over the amount on the former
building. So much for the "D-o-w-a-g
lac loss"

For he Journal.
The Meeting On the border.
The civil war had Just begun,
And caused much cor stsrnation
While o. p: Morton governed one,
Great state of this great Nation,
So it did.
Magofan governed Old Kentuck,
And Dennison, Ohio;
And no three humans had more pluck,
Than this puiss&nt trio,
So they hadn't.
Magofin was the leading man:
He telegraphed to Perry,
And writ, by post, to Dennison,
To meet him in hurry,
And Dennison and Morton too,
Believed they had good reason,
10 fear Magofhn sought to do
Some hellizh act of treason,
20 they did.
But they concluded it was best,
To do as he demanded,
So they would have a chance 10 test,
The question, '' is he candid ~
So they did.
And Morton, with some trusty chaps,
Went up to see " Megufin -
At six a. N. theV took their traps,
And OF they went putin,
So they did.
Magofin P n. did fix,
BY post and by the wire,
But when the hour had come-Why nix
Cemehraus was he-Beriar,
So he was.
And then, could you have heard them
Them chaps along with Perry - swear !
They cussed, and stamped. and pulled their
So they were.
And when they found that they were sold,
And saw no chance for lighting,
They took a train that they controlled,
And home they went kiting,
So they did.
At A. NJ. the scamp did come,
But didn't let them know it,
And so, at three, they start sd homo,
And ScheH they start, they ego it,
So they do.
No matter what they find to do,
It's done with all their power;
What other men will do in two,
They'll do in just one hour,
So they will.
And now if they could mix his " todd
They'd put some pizen stuff in,
And serve their country and their God,
By killing off " Megufhn,"-
So they would
And serve the devil too, as well,
By sending him traitor,
To roast eternally in hell,
As Pat would roast a later,
So they would.
Just give them chaps half a chance
Let them but lay a hand on
A traitor, and he'll have to dance,
With atmosphere to stand on,
So he will
But these who love old Uncle Sam,
They love, and in their greeting,
They shew it, and in every palm,
You feel the heart a beating,
So you do.
For patriots are brothers all =
Alike our flag they cherish
With it. aloft, thsy bear the scroll,
a. Let every traitor PERISH
So they do.

some Excitement.

On Sunday evening word was brought to
this city that couple of steamboats, had
been loaded at Louisville with produce, os-
tensibly for Bowling Green, KY, but in re-
atty for points further South, and that they
would probably arrive at the mouth OF
Green River some time during the night
The most active preparations were immedi-
ately commenced for the interception of the
contraband articles. Messengers were sent
post hast, to Camp Morris, detailing three
orsYfour companies of the 18th regiment.
Capt. Klaus artillery company, with one
gun, were also ordered out, and the steamer
Gillum, Capt Scott, was chartered to trans
port the troops to some point best calcula-
ted for stopping the suspected boats. The
boys at Camp Morris turned out lively, and
with wilI,n and taking a double-quick
step, made the city in very short time.
notwithstanding the distance was about one
and half miles, the rain pouring down in
torrents, and the roads almost knee-deep in
mud. 1t was a severe test of the nerve and
endurance of the men, but none of them
faltered or gave out. There was prospect
ahead for what they call some fun"
and they were anxious to participate in the
sport. Capt. KLAUS artillery company
turned out with alacrity, and, with two of
the Zouave companies, Immediately took
passage for Green River. Mr.. DENLY, Col
lector of this port, also made one of the
party.
In the meantime, the Trio, from Cumber-
land River having landed, was quietly
boarded by company A, Capt. Foster, and
her captain notified that he must be detain-
ed for a season. He was quite indignant,
but the military, although very complais-
ant, were also somewhat resolute, and the
captain could do but little else than hold on
for awhile.
Yesterday morning, thousand rumors
were flying through the city and large
crowd collected on the levee, apparently
TO listen for the cannonading and to learn
what was up. But the telegraph soor
quieted the excitement by dispatch stat
ing the suspected boats had not left Louis
Vile
The Trio was set at liberty and she wen
on her way rejoicing and her captair
swearing. In the afternoon the Gillum re
turned, the troops dsembarked and her crew
was discharged. Nary shot was fred, saw,
one for a salute as the boat rounded to
to take her place at the levee. Well, if tn,
boys didn't have the triumph Of capturing
prize, they deserved it. They demonstrated
that they are ready for any emergency ant
are prompt to answer when duty calls.
