DIR. Hayes on the open Polar Sea.


DIR. Hayes valuable work on "The
Open Polar Sea-" now in the press of
Hurd & Hougton, will be published in
a few days. In this work DIR. Hayes
gives a full account of his explorations
in the Arctic regions, and enters into
an elaborate discussion of the problem
of an open polar sea. From advance
sheets of this book we make a single
extract, showing that DIR. Hayes has a
decided opinion on the subject:
"With the warm flood of tie Gulf
stream pouring northward, and keep
ing the waters of the Polar Sea at a
temperature above the freezing point,
while the winds blowing rs constantly
under the artic as under the tropic sky,
and the ceaSeleSS currents of the sea
and the tide-iow of the surface, keep
the waters ever in movement, it is not
possible, as have ever before observed,
that even any considerable portion OF
this extensive sea can be frozen over.
AT no point within the artic circle has
there been found an ice-belt either in
winter or in summer, more than from
fifty to a hundred miles from land,
And even in the narrow channels sepa-
rating the islands of the Parry Archip-
elago, in Bathn's Bay, in the North
Water mouth of Smith Sound-every-
where indeed, within the broad area of
the trlgid zone, the waters will not
freeze except when sheltered by the
land, or when an ice-pack, accumulated
by long continuance of winds from
one quarter, affords tine same protec-
ton. That the sea does not close eX-
cept when at rest, 1 had abundant rea-
son to know during the late winter; for
at all times, as this narrative frequent
ly records, even when the temperature
of the air was below the freezing point
of mercury, l could hear from the deck
of the schooner the roar of the beating
waves"

state Wool Growers As
ISOLATION"


THERE WILL BE A MEETING OF THE
/ State Wool Growers Association of West
Virginia, in Wheeling, on Thursday, Janua-
~ L. 1867, at IL o'clock, a. 81.
We hope that ali Wool Growers, who can,
will be in the meeting. 1t is patent, our
great interest, wOOl-gTOwing, is in immin ent
danger OF RUIN under present legislation.
During the last year over one hundred mill
lion pounds of wool have been imported
from Buenos AyreS alone, where wool is
grown and sold at from five to fifteen cents
per pound, the latter wool, too, equal in fine
ness to our best SaxOny. Remember, too,
foreign woods pay less than five per cent. per
pound duty, while our wool is taxed not less
than nine cents per pound. VIII we longer
quietly submit to such legislation? We are
a power in the land" If we but organize and
exert it Let us not longer say to our neigh
Dor woOl-grOwerS when we meet-'COngreSs
fear, will do nothing for uS,"-let us organ
lie and rise like men alive to their and their
country's interests, and say TO our Repre-
sentativeS in Congress what we must have.
Let the tremendous influx OF foreign wool
andwoolens which are piling against us such
crushing commercial debt-and If continu-
ed must soon drain our country of its spec lie,
destroy our sheep and EctOries-be checked
or m AXE them pay duties such that Ameri-
can wOol-growers and manufacturers can en-
ter as competitors, in heir market, and
live.

Themselves must strike the blow"

Mr. Johnson's boldness and sagaclty In
shrowing tho name Of Hancock, like another
apple Of discord, among the rival candidates,
or like tub to catch the Presidential whale,
is prime puzzle to all the politicians, who
never gave him credit for the aptitude to
weigh SO well the points in the President
making game. Hancock's name has made
great fuss and takes wonderfully
with the democrats and the democratic
organs in this neighborhood-all Of which Is
because, no doubt, 1t y name acceptable to
the Head Centre o. democratic power in this
State. Dean Richmond, in the good days OF
the Albany Regency, managing the Central
Railroad, managed also the State democracy
But now there has come forth greater than
the Dean In the person Of Commodore Wander
bilt, who drives handsome four-in-hand
where Richmond drove single pony.
Vanderbilt holds the ribbons Of the Central,
the Harlem and the Hudson River railroads
between his foredngers and that OF the Erie
under his thumb. For the latter there are
some scraps of claims outside that amount to
nothiag And with these roads the Commo-
d0re has fourfold claim to run the demo-
cratic party-a claim that, like Selkirk's
dominion, /" there il none to dispute" He
runs it accordingly and IL the power behind
the throne Of democratic glory. His coadju-
tors, Adjutants, aids and subordinat,s are the
Schells-the familiar Dick and dgnifed
Augustus-and Belmont, and, in promiscuous,
general way, the whole Manhattan Club. Bel
mont, with the fortune as well a. the tenacity,
wit, balance and comprehensive view Of the
whole Rothschild family, carries the purse, and
in virtue Of the purse makes party opinion
in the party press for that press; not being
independent not having in any sense the
support Of the people, must study the thoughts
of tho party almoner and take its pap and Its
cue from the same source.
Thus Vanderbilt, with his railroads, runs the
party machine and the conventions. Belmont
keeps the right sort Of ideas before the people,
and the Schells shave the party notes and dis
count any mans claims for place in the flu
ture Cabinet; and, altogether, It's very pretty
game, and no doubt source Of much anxiety
to those who would be on the winning side
and are so troubled by the way Hanoock's
name takes that they cannot for their lives tell
which is the winning side. Truly. democracy
prospers under the new power when men can
not say that it may not triumph.

Progress Of Ocean Telegraph Enterprises.
Our special Havana correspondence informs
us that news had arrived from Madrid that
tenders for laying telegraphic cables between
Caba, Porto Rico, the Canary Islands and the
coas, of Spain had been invited by a royal
decree dated the 9th Of November. The ten
dcrs were to be submitted before the lst of
next February. This looks rs ii the Spanish
government were in earnest and that the
enterprise would be carried out. We hope 1t
may be so; for the more cables are laid be-
tween America and Europe the cheaper tele
graphing will become. and greater stimulus
will be given 10 trade. If this proposed con-
neciion be made we can get our news Us
well by the way Of Cuba, having
now telegraph communication with that
island, rs by Newfoundland There is,
however, a still more valuable connection
proposed by the Emperor Napoleon-that Of
n cable from Brest, in France, to New York
direct We have not heard much about this
lately, but looking at the power, means and
enterprise Of the Emperor, and at the great
value of such line 10 the trade Of France
with America, we have no doubt IL will be
carried out. There Is good prospect for all
these competing lines Of telegraph cables OF
FOR more. We understand that the profits Of
| the present Atlantic cable have increased since
! The rates were reduced, and were there more
cables aud still further reduced charges oil
could do profitable business. Let the CAPT
/ talisis, then, on both sides OF the Atlantic e
to work and give us the proposed Spanish and
French cable communication. The pracsica
bilisy OF the work has been established, and !
requires only the means and enterprise e
carry 1t through.

The Lynchburg papers describe the panic
occasional the other morning by the apparent
ly simultaneous rising Of three suns above the
horizon in Lee county. The central orb was
encircled by q beautiful rainbow and sur
mounted by another extending on either hand
above the attendant suns. This phenomenon,
although comparatively rare; has been wit
messed on the Mediterranean Sea and on our
own great inland Seas. The two surplus suns
were simply reflections on the clouds Of the
bona .fsde sun, and speedily vanished. But the
spectacle, SO long as it lasted, was not only
sublime, but terrible to the inhabitants of Lee
county. Coupling 1t with all the recent extraor-
binary convulsions Of nature, typhoons, hurri
canes, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, they
we're convinced it portended that the world
was on the crumbling verge Of extinction, and
that the hog business, in which they are largely
interested, was about to experience thorough
and final prostration.' Nevertheless, the
earth still continues TO rcyolye on Its axis, and
we trust that neither the physical disturbances
which have recently taken place nor the sp-
partition of triple sun, nor yet the eclipse Of
common sense in Congress, will lead the Viz
ginians to despair Of tho ultimate reconstruo-
ton Of the Union and happy issue out Of all
the difficulties which al present environ them.

BRTrIsH MISSIONARIES TO THE SoUIH.---Great
Britain, ever generous to all peoples except
her own, proposes to send missionaries to the

needs most now is food and raiment-ships
loaded with beef and corn, not with tracts,
Bibles and missionaries. There have been too
many missionaries already sent from the
Northern States, political stump speakers,
aspirants for Office, and New England school
teachers, male and female. They have brought
irrcparable mischief on the South. With
fresh food of these from the other side of the
Atlantic, what is to become of the poor South.
