FRIDAY. DECEMBER go, 1871.
The Arctic Expeditions.

There are now three or four expeditions in thu
arctic regions, cndeavoriug to reach the north
pole. 1. The German expedition which follows
the plan for reaching the polar sea, devised by
DR.. Petcrmann, which is TO 90 up on the cast
side of Spitzbergen; .. Capt. Halls expedition
which goes up Baffin's Bay to Jones Sound; g.
The expedition which started from San Fran
cisco, last summer, intending to penetrate the
arctic sea by way of Behring's Strait; 4. A
Swedish expedition which proposes to winter in
the north part of Spitzbergen, and try to reach
the pole, next summer. The Swedish explorers
follow the directions Of Prof. Nordensiold, who
prescribes the route along the east side Of Spitz-
bergen We arc not quite sure that this Swc-
dish expedition has actually sailed, although it
was intending TO leave this year; but it will 90,
next summer, lift has not left already; or rather,
lift did not leave previous to September, as it is
impossible to sail to the north part of Spitzber-
gen later in the season.
Prof. Nordensiold puts forth some rather curl
Gus views of the arctic sea, which summarily
disregard facts already established. He be-
gins by denying the possibility of an open arc
tic sea, and maintaining that whoever reaches
the north pole must travel on the ice from about
the 18th degree of north latitude. The nou-eX-
istence of an open polar sea, he says, ''haS been
proved by science" Like some other learned
men, he seems to give more attention TO specu-
latons than to facts, and substitutes his theory
for science. The existence OF an open sea near
the pole is shown by the discoveries Of the Rus
sian explorer, Wrangell, who examined the
coast and ocean north of the eastern part of
Siberia; and by DR.. Kane's expedition, some
members of which actually went 10 the open
sea across the ice. The truth is (uotwithstand-
ing what the Swedish professor says), science
suggested the existence of an open sea around
the pole, and this deduction Of science has been
verified. The most important point now TO be
settled concerns the possibility of sallnginto
that sea by way Of some passage through the
surrounding ice-belt.
The German expedition appears TO have
reached the open water reported by WrangelI,
which is believed to be Il part OF the open polar
sea visited by Kanes men. A full report of this
exploring voyage, when it shall be completed
is likely to add something to our knowledge of
the arctic sea. The discoveries and adventures
of the expedition which went through Behring's
Strait will probably have no lack of interest.
Capt. Hall can hardly do more than was done
by DR.. Kane, even if he should have very good
success; for his progress northward is sure to
be stopped by the ice-belt, and to get view of
the open sea. he mast make long journey on
the ice. As to the Swedish expedition, we hope

The "negro instruction" in Chicot county,
Arkansas, of which the Geographic dispatches
have given rather exciting account, turns out
to be something else. 1t appears now that the
negroes were moved to lynch three notorious
desperadoes named Sanders, Garrett and pn-
gan, who had provoked great indignation by
whipping and numbering negroes, and finally
made combined attack on store where ono OF
their victims sought shelter, which they destroy
ed. The destruction ofthc store and the murder
perpetrated in connection with it, reused the
negroes to attack and destroy the three murder
