CAPT. HALLS DIsCovER1Es.-In Capt,
Halls journal we find very full report
of the information he obtained from the
Esquimex regarding Capt Crozier and
others of Sir John Franklin's expedition :
Capt. Hall appears to have exemined
and cross examined the Esquimaux with
all the patience of lawyer in court f.; and
it appears to US certain, from his report,
that Crozler and three men, who seems to
have been, SO far as Capt. Halls inform
ant knew, the only survivors of the ex>
pedition at the time they were met, wan
dered southwark, had fights with the
Indians, promised and evidently expected
to return to their Esquimaux friends, and
did not return.
The wrecked ships OF Franklin appear
to have been visited. The remains of a
arge number of their crews were seen.
frozen and mutilated, and the vqluables
left in the ships were appropriated by
certain families of Esqumaux, and there,
for the present, the story breaks off. But
with these traces to encourage him, there
is reason to hope that Captain Hall, will
be able to bring to light further and more
interesting particulars of the misfortunes
and struggles of the lost explorers, whose
fate has attracted the sympaties of all

SOUTHERN MEMBERS

We have had nothing direct from
Washington to inform us more par;icu
IaTly OF the position of the Southern
members of Congress than the meagre
teleprams taken from our exchanges, but
that they are placed very much as for
mer representation to Washington were
treated, is doubtless true. Some have
returned to their homes, not willing
longer to compromise their dignity and
self respect at the footstool of radicaIism
II the radical programme is to be car
rled out, and it looks as though they NAV
accomplish it, it would be as we'll for all
to return at once to their homes. We
are but depend ences and at the mercy of
those who know not what mercy is.
Let the bill which has the approval of
the leaders Of the radicals, and published
IN the columns of the Washington Re-
publican, become the law, and the South
ern States will be placed again under full
military authority. 1t calls for new mil,
ltary Governors to be appointed, with the
power In Congress to confirm the same
New elections to be had under military
direction, and all that has been done bv
President johnson will be undone. and
the States revert back to military des-
potism.
This will be our position if this bill
passes and the radicals hold they are
strong enough to carry their pointand die
tate to the President the course he shall
pursue. We have every reason to believe
PRESIDENT johnson our friend, and as his
policy is bitterly opposed by Sumner,
Stevens and their coadjutors we must
rely upon him for a defense of our po>
sition. Among all classes of intelligent
thinking men, there can be but one opin-
ION as to what is the best interest of our
county. 1t is peace, quiet and reunion |
OF the people of these great States.
The North as we'll as the South needs
repose, and in the words of the Mobile
News, where is the public good, where
the plausible pretext for perpetuating the
agonles of political separation The
Radicals must answer these questions to
the country. Meantime, we of the
South we repeat, have nothing to do but
to keep quiet, be patient, and faithfully
fulfill the obligations of duty to the Gov.
ernment of the United States, which we
assumed as the result of unsuccessful
struggle in the field. Let us eschew the t
bad example of our Radical" enemies. !
ana show that we know how TO perform t
our duties to the country, and acquit /
ourselves of the obligations of our sit Z
aatlon' II they do not. By pursuing this !
course the end can be hardly doubtful, r.
'ut whatever it proves to be, it will be q '
consolation to feel that we have done t
ight, and to have the appreciation of a a a

The STURGEON BAY CANAL.-TLe peo>
| pie of Northeastern Wisconsin are NOV.
ing for grant of land from Congress, to
| enable that State to construct ship
canal, which will form direct connection
between Lake Michigan and Sturgeon
Bay-a body of water connected with
Green bay, and lying between it and the
lake. The necessity of such a work il
urgent. There is no good harbor in that
part OF the lake, and it is estimated that
about ten vessels are wrecked every year
for want of one. The length of the pro.
posed canal is one mile and a half: its
cost, with the requisite breakwater, will
not exceed half million of dollars
When finished it will open one of the
tlnest and most convenient harbors on the
lakes; it will also shorten the distance
between Green bay and Chicago by about
two hundred miles. A bill granting
lands Tor the purpose passed the Senate |
unanimously at its last session, and was
defeated in the House of Representatives
by two votes only. There is no good
reason why the memorial of the State of
which will soon be presented
to Congress, should not be favorably
heard. A grant of lands for similar
purpose has been made to the State of
Michigan, and we trust that Wisconsin
will not be treated less kindly. Certainly
he subject can only need to be well
understood to secure for the memorial {
he cordial support of every republican I
member of either house. {
