The rescue Of the Buddipgton party by
a Dundee whaler is gratifying intelli.
gence. and it brings the history Of one Of
the most remarkable Of Arctic voyages
to u most remarkable close. The Tri.
June well says that no expedition that
ever penetrated into the frozen seas was
so i'll equipped for cncouDtering the dan.
gers and trials Of the Arctic Winter as
the party led forth by Captain Hall.
Yet it succeeded, partly perhaps by luck,
partly by the courage and persistency of
some Of its gallant members, in accom-
plishing important scientific results, and
passing beyond the boundaries which
closed the explorations of the most dis.
tinguished Of its predecessors. Broken
up more than year ago by disaster
SO strange that at first men refused to be.
lieve IN it, every life has nevertheless
been preserved save that of Hall himself,
who persisted of disease in the early part
of the voyage. One half of the crew
floated for six months on a cake Of ice,
supported life by shooting seals. aud were
picked up when the foe had melted away
from five miles in circumference to few
rods. The other half, after wntcriDg in
camp built from their disabled vessel,
put to sea in canvass boats, and are heard
of now on the other side of the Atlantic
At last we suppose the doubts which
rest upon certain portions Of the story Of
the Polaris will be cleared away. The

YELLOW FEVER IN SHREVEPORT Sept
1.-THE Times this morning says the
epidemic exhibits but little change, and
that q decrease in the number Of new
cases is greatly owing to want Of ma.
terial. The number Of deaths is fearful
to contemplate The mortality is beyond
precedent, and it looks as though but
comparatively few will get well. Thus
far very few have got about, while some
linger along between life and death. In
some instances whole families have been
swept out of existence in the short space
of one week. A sudden change in the
weather, last Sunday night, sent scores
to their beds (which accounts for the large
number of interments during the last day
or two. In the language Of one of the
New Orleans physicians they dropped off
"like sheep dying with the rot"
Medical treatment of the most skillful
kind does not appear to do any good in a
great many cases, while in many others
temporary relief is afforded, quickly fol-
lowed by death.
Our stores are all closed, and all our
dwelling houses turned into hospitals.
In fact, Shreveport is one great hospital
-one great charnel house. the Times
publishes the death record. The number
Of interments since Sept. 1st is 226 ;
number Of sick estimated variously at
from 500 to 500.

The Pacific Mail Cos steamer, Costa
Rica, from Honolulu, was wrecked at
Point Diablo near the entrance Of the
harbor Wednesday night.
The steamer was trying to make the
entrance Of the harbor under full head of
steam in dense fog when she struck
with tremendous force, wrenching her
timbers from stem to stern, and making
hole in her bows through which water
rushed in u torrent.
The excitement and terror among the
passengers was great, but Capt. Lapidge
and his officers succeeded in restoring
some degree of order, soon after the out
break Of alarm. All the passengers were
safely landed by the boats.

the Judicial Record Of the late Che
Justice ia which we find Il statement,
by Mr.. Chase, OF his position. at difits
eat times, IN relation to that measure.
The writer OF the article says "it ha-
never before been made public, yet 1t
appears to be an extract from Mr..
Chase's minority opinion delivered by
him on the second occasion when tho
validity of the act came before the
Court, and is in reply to a remark 10y
Mr.. Justice Strong, who delivered the
opinion of the majority, that 'thc head
Of the Treasury Department (Mr Chase
represented to Congress the necessity
OF making the new issues legal tenders,
or rather declared ii impossible to avoid
the necessity" In reply, Mr. Chase
after remarlling that this reference to
his opinions when Secretary warrants
some observations, says that lac was
charged with the anxious and response
Die duty OF providing funds Tor the
prosecution of the war. In no report
made by him to Congress wa, the eX-
pedient Of making the notes a legal ten

notes payable ON demand in coin, OF

When the State banks suspended spc-
Gle payments, hc recommended The
isl ne Of United States notes, receivable
for all loans TO the United States and
all Government dues, except duties on
imports. In December, 1852, he said,
in his report, that Omitted States notes

was made, the legal tender bill had be

Of the bill to authorize United States

legal tender 1t was under these
circumstances that he expressed the
