AMBIGUOUS statement in the Char
lottesvie Chronicle of yesterday, concerning a
':tearful accident" on the Orange, Alexandria
and Manassas Railroad, though intended as
Joke, was rather ambiguous, and were it not
corrected, might possibly do some harm; as the
generality of newspaper readers don't have
time critically to examine the matter they pc
ruse. The train did run off the High Bridge
at Mitchell's Factory, but it ran off the bridge
unto the track, and arrived in this city on time.

WESTERN Pork TRADE. The Cincinnati
Price Current says: The advices from the
Western States indicate that there will be
large increase in the pork crop the coming sea-
son. Stock hogs are plenty and in excellent
condition, owing to the abundant pasturagc
during the summer, and as the corn crop IS an
unusually largo one and the general belief with
farmers that pork will be high, there can be
little doubt that hogs will be ted largely and
literally throughout the entire West.

Introductory remarks by the chairmain In which the
whole history OF the society was eloquently traced
with reference to the grand original navlgators of
the early centuries Major General Thomas S. Kane
was introduced, who dwelt at considerable length
upon our newly acquired possessions of Alaska. lie
said that this territory extends over ty-seyen de-
grees OF longitude, from Portland channel to Point
Barrow, more than sixteen degrees of latitude or as
many as there are between New York ana the
most southerly point Of Florida: counting from
Amtchitka ffty-one degrees thrty-two minutes 10
1t is nearly twenty degrees OF latitude, or as many
as there are between Cape Sable Island Florida, and
HalldN, nova SCOTIA. On one Hallu III lies low upon
a warm sea; on the other it is walled in by maritime
Alps. From this the gentleman argued, and that
very eloquently, that this frontage on the circum
polar ocean presented grand base for circunpolar
explorations, carrying out the idea or his aIened
brother, DR.. Kane. These views met the approba
tiOn OF the society," and Dr. Hayes VINO spoke of the
grand object of the exploration Of the terra incog
,ita around the North Pole, fully met the
views OF the previous speaker, wishing ito study
Arctic explorations upon the ground" To this end
the Coast Survey OF the United states should be
brought into requison, both of the gentlemen con-
tended. Mr., Stout introduced a resolution that
memorial to this effect should DO presented to Con-
gress, which passed unanimously and the following
gentlemen were therefore appointed TO prepare such
memorial:-Messrs. Stout, BlOdgett and Stra1nicky.
After some unmportant resolutions regarding The
nomination OF officers on the l4th instant tle meet
ing adjourned.
